Re: D&D Demotivators X: X Never marks the spot
Over-the-top Exaltedesque action combined with horrifying monsters, philosophy, theology and lots of humor? I can't really get any closer than that.
The comic may be very confusing at first, but don't give up: keep reading. Eventually it should start to make sense, especially if you go and re-read it.Creator of the LA-assignment thread.

Re: D&D Demotivators X: X Never marks the spot
It's getting thrown into a game of Exalted from the eyes of a newcomer, basically. Wildly different cultures, exceedingly powerful beings on different tiers from one another, complex motivations, over the top action, and theology critical to the existence of the setting thrown into a blender and served with a protagonist who has power without understanding. It's just about the most Exalted thing ever created outside a sourcebook.
I highly recommend it, as it has some gorgeous artwork and creativity in every page.

Re: D&D Demotivators X: X Never marks the spot
In particular, the philosophy stems from a combination of Buddhism, Hinduism, Gnosticism, and Nihilism getting thrown into an extra-universal cosmopolitan setting.

Re: D&D Demotivators X: X Never marks the spot
I've read the entire comic and have no idea what is going on. So glad I don't have to take tests on Theology.
Technically not a demotivator, but have a comic on a classic DnD joke.Last edited by goto124; 2016-10-07 at 09:54 AM.

Re: D&D Demotivators X: X Never marks the spot
I believe that's because it is an absurdly diverse group. Even if its possible to have a group that diverse, since it's a comic it seems like the artist was making a point of being a diverse group, which reduces its believability. It seems disingenuous, regardless if the group and events depicted are completely factual or not.

Re: D&D Demotivators X: X Never marks the spot
From the comments, I think that it's based on the artist's actual group. I found the comments quite amusing, regardless.

Re: D&D Demotivators X: X Never marks the spot
This. There's often better reasons for remarkable situations than 'the author did it purposefully for no reason'.
Sure, not all group makeups are equally likely, but that's no reason to call it out. If the players were all bearded dudes, would someone be remarking that it's statistically unlikely for a group to consist solely of unshaven people?Last edited by Inevitability; 2016-10-07 at 03:07 PM.

Re: D&D Demotivators X: X Never marks the spot
Easily possible, especially if you're a student at an international college or at an American university in a city like LA or NY. I live in a relatively small city in Europe and have played with prettymuch this exact group.
Sounds like it's right up my alley, I'll give it a shot. Ever since the indefinite hiatus of Keychain of Creation, I've been on the lookout for another Exalted comic, but never found one on my own.Homebrewer's Signature | Avatar by Strawberries

Re: D&D Demotivators X: X Never marks the spot
Trying out the new Brawl, have to say I'm disappointed. Mostly at the hero selection. I get the practical limits that brought it about (saving time on recording lines), but all of the characters available are 'aim needed' characters*, while I'll admit aim is probably my main weak point.

Re: D&D Demotivators X: X Never marks the spot
I don't think so. It's been reposted on imgur a few times, but this seems to be the source.
