Examples of blatant foreshadowing.

[Peelee]

Well in dnd you choose your class, and then make an origin for how you got that class.
i.e
fighter 1 spent three years studying in fighter school, training daily, and eating nothing but greul.

fighter 2 spent a several months as an apprentice to a legendary fighter of old, and upon his mentor's death, they began adventuring.

fighter 3 picked up his sword to save his village in its time of need, recieving no training whatsoever.

Assuming they all begun adventuring at the same time, are the same level with the same stats.
Who is the better fighter?

Fighter 2, obviously. They got their old master's gear. THAT'S how you write a back story!

The most optimized one, clearly. They all get the same starting wealth. Unless there's actual a GM out there someone who has people roll for starting wealth, but who tf does that?

assuming they are all equally optimized.
Note how your reasoning could be any of the options

[The Pilgrim]

The only people who were owned in feudal societies were serfs who were not a majority

They were only 90% of the population.

Yeah, but he won't ask for ten times your starting offer. Nobody does that.

You obviously haven't travelled to the right countries.

And, again, this strip provides uncontroversial proof that common townsfolk in the OOTS world do it with adventurers.

[Fyraltari]

They were only 90% of the population.

First source, could. Second, looking deeper into it serfs weren't actually owned or considered things, they were bound by an hereditary life contract to a track of land they did not posses and took no benefit from but they had personal rights (could be witness in courts) have personal properties, could marry more or less freely and indeed, coumd buy their freedom (and their children's) with their savings.

This may be.

I'm not talking about OOTS. I refuse to take my own joke seriously.

[martianmister]

This strip foreshadowing Elan and Haley's relationship.

[understatement]

As in someone will be glugging down someone else's potio --

Hey look, this strip is pretty blatant at this point in time.

Eh, it depends. A 13th-century serf in France is not in the same boat as a 19th-century serf in Russia or Rumania.

[MartianInvader]

Durkula accidentally drops Durkon's accent foreshadowing that he's not really Durkon.

Later, he accidentally adopts it foreshadowing Durkon's master plan.

Don't think we can be sure it's blatant foreshadowing until the thing it's foreshadowed comes to pass.

[Grey_Wolf_c]

Don't think we can be sure it's blatant foreshadowing until the thing it's foreshadowed comes to pass.

OK, but now we're getting philosophical. If it is only recognisable as foreshadowing after it comes to pass, how could we be sure it was blatant beforehand?

Grey Wolf

You can't, but the OP indicates they're looking for examples of blatance* in hindsight:

Rich is pretty good at this sort of thing - foreshadowing that isn't obvious to the new reader but when you go back it's pretty blatant.

* - not a word, but I like how it sounds.

[Resileaf]

How am I the first one to point out the third to last panel of this strip? You don't get more literally blatant and ominous!

[Grey_Wolf_c]

blatance

Nice, me likes. How about "blatanticity", though? A bit too long?

Grey Wolf

Blatanquadaquadicism? Blatanquatulence?

There is a word for this, and it's "blatancy."

Boring. I like Ruck’s better.

I like blatulence, even though zim found the word.

[Mightymosy]

It's so awesome and I had already forgotten it =)

A couple strips later I laughed (there's no magic healing...... :-) :-) :-) )

[Wizard_Lizard]

too maonstream.
How about;
Blatabulousness
Blatanic level
Blatantulary

Something tells me that we have not seen the last of GIGGLES yet, and while everyone believes that Banjo will be the one to save us all, he would likely be in the Northern Pantheon, where as Giggles (OOTS comic 561) would have his own quiddity as a god of the orcs, just like the dark one.

YES! I SEE IT NOW! Giggles and banjo will contain the snarl.

[understatement]

If Giggles or Banjo even remotely become a threat the gods will squish them like cheese.

And on a side note, I think this strip's been pointed out but if not, then it looks like Eric knows what's up more than V will.

In what sense? I'm not sure what you mean.

Eric is playing with a toy black dragon.
