    Default Crowning Moment of [X]

    I've searched through the three pages of topics and I couldn't find anything like this, so hopefully this isn't repeating another (recent) thread. If it's against the rules for some other reason, sorry .

    This is a thread to discuss what you think have been some of the pivotal, most awesome, funny, badass, cool, significant, moving, suprising, etc, etc, moments of the comic so far.

    And yes, the name is stolen from TVTropes (I've never dedicated the many, many hours that would be needed to read through TVTropes' lists of crowning OotS moments, so any repetition is as unintentional as it is irrelevant).

    For example, I've always thought the second-last box in this strip is a wonderfully understated crowning moment of romance, and the tenth box here is one of the entire comic's best crowning moments of badass .

    So... discuss!

    The same panel for badass and romance?

    And apparently, this awesome expression of romantic badass is

    Never mind, while typing that bad joke I saw the romance, but I think you meant a different strip for the badass (Unless Durkon walking off with his darkvision on is badass)

    I am now off to find this strip where the tenth panel is full of badass.

    Crowning moment of hilarity/badassery

    Oh, and I think we'll need a full compilation for all of the crowning moments of paladinery that Hinjo, O-Chul, Thanh, and Lien have.

    Crowning moment of badassness.

    I nominate the latest strip for Redcloak's crowning moment of brutality. Holy cow! I mean, damn!

    I'd say, alternatively, his crowning moment of growing a spine.

    well, last strip definitely counts as a crowning moment of awesome for redcloak
    In memory of Evisceratus: he dreamed of a better world, but he lacked the class levels to make the dream come true.

    Ridiculous monsters you won't take seriously even as they disembowel you

    my take on the highly skilled professional: the specialized expert

    Looks like Redcloak is in a surge of Crowning Moments of Awesome.

    If he keeps up at this pace, he'll be destroying Xykon five strips from now.

    Also, seeing Xykon horrified is a crowning moment of something all by itself .

    That is pretty amazing. I wish I could donate more but things are looking pretty horrible money-wise at the moment .

    Crowning moment of brutality


    As brutal as Darth V is, and as horrible a punishment as he gave Mama Black Dragon in the end, that actual 'shrlrrfkprsh' moment is awesome.



    EDIT: Sorry, didn't quite get the purpose of the thread. Link changed accordingly.

    Thumbs up Re: Crowning Moment of [X]

    Is a Crowning Moment different from an Epic Moment, or is this just a parallel thread?

    Whatever.

    Gotta have the Crowning Moments of Belkar!

But thats just my opinion.

    I would post this as a crowning moment of something, but then I realized that Tarquin is this badass and villainous all the time
