Re: Things you never noticed II: I never noticed the first thread
I think what he means is that it's unusual phrasing- unless it's a 1 or a 20, one doesn't usually say 'natural'.

Re: Things you never noticed II: I never noticed the first thread
...That's...
There is no reason to presume Durkon thinks there are only two natural, and 18 unnatural, numbers on a d20. This is a mode of thought I have not encountered before today and which makes very little sense to me. Vaarsuvius rolled a 2. Durkon either does not know what the result after all modifiers was or chose to mention the rolled number instead. Vaarsuvius rolled badly, and Vaarsuvius did not successfully dispel.Orth Plays: Currently Baldur's Gate II

Re: Things you never noticed II: I never noticed the first thread
On the internets, misunderstandings are a common but sticky sort of glue that can bind long conversations together!
Perhaps I should have used "noticeable" rather than "serious" - Mr. Scruffy did noticeable damage to his targets, but whether it was light or serious damage depends on definitions and is hard to tell anyway. I was pleased to see him being effective in combat!

I just noticed that the control group in 545 has only six members. This might not affect the statistical validity of the experiment, but it's rather sloppy of Redcloak. Perhaps the size of the tower tops limited the total number of sacrificial victims?

Re: Things you never noticed II: I never noticed the first thread
I propose that the two hobgoblins closest to the edge of the tower are also part of the control group. Since Redcloak, as of that strip, actually cared for the hobgoblins as people, I would guess that those particular hobgoblins had been convicted of capital crimes, such as Aiding the Resistance.

DM: At the end of the meal, the innkeeper is bringing you the cheese plate. Roll for initiative.
PC: Excuse me, what?
DM: I said, roll for initiative. They like their cheese really ripe in these parts. They have the ooze type.
"Excuse me, but... is it a GOOD or a BAD thing when the DM can't help bursting into laughter every time he hears the phrase 'level-appropriate encounter'? No, just curious..."

I like how this is also a hark-back to Goblin Dan's thriving business...
At least now I can get back to enjoying my glass of elven wine in peace and quiet, without being called on to intervene in someone else's problems.

Re: Things you never noticed II: I never noticed the first thread
I think there’s a bit of a Fan Myopia thing going on. A fair number of people did notice the gouda thing and discussed it in certain threads. Since it was discussed on these boards, it is easy to think everyone here should already know about them.
Of course, then, you have to realize that very few people can read absolutely every post on this board…
Anyway, I will say that I would have missed the gouda thing if not for prior discussion—either on these boards or on TV Tropes, I can’t remember which first directed me to the original strips.Last edited by Shhalahr Windrider; 2011-09-20 at 02:06 PM.

Awesome fremetar by wxdruid.
From the discomfort of truth there is only one refuge and that is ignorance. I do not need to be comfortable, and I will not take refuge. I demand to *know*.
So I guess I have an internets? | And a trophy. | And a music cookie (whatever that is).

Re: Things you never noticed II: I never noticed the first thread
The reason that "Natural 1" and "Natural 20" are used so much is because there are special rules for rolling that number on the dice, and not for any of the other numbers.
Also, Vaarsuvius may have had so many bonuses that "I can dispell on anything but a 2." So of course he rolls a 2.'F' is the fire that rains from the Sky
'U' for Uranium, BOMB!
'N' is for No Survivors...

Re: Things you never noticed II: I never noticed the first thread
Until now, I never realized why it was amusing that Belkar was unable to successfully make a Wild Empathy check with Windstriker.

Belkar certainly lacked empathy, but the best ranger alive couldn't control a paladin's mount.Orth Plays: Currently Baldur's Gate II

Re: Things you never noticed II: I never noticed the first thread
I just realized Belkar and Haley know Redcloak's name. Which should be much less of a surprise, since Redcloak's face was all over the city formerly known as Azure.
Couldn't one do so if the mount suffered sufficient ability damage to Intelligence?

I just noticed that you can still see the "Are we getting paid enough?" chart in Enor's hand as he's walking away from the blade barrier.

Don't know if this has been said before, but in this strip, it's assumed Roy sleeps in his armor. Shouldn't he be fatigued the next day? He's wearing his armor.

Endurance feat. Indicating that his armor is light (unlikely) or medium.

There aren't really any exclusive or original ideas on TVTropes. That's kind of the point.

Re: Things you never noticed II: I never noticed the first thread
In strip 428, second page, one can see the text "swooosh" allready in panel four. It is hard to see, almost invisible, but placed over the heads of Hinjo and Roy.
Btw, the wind from the dragon wings is so strong it affects the crown Roy wears around his neck

Re: Things you never noticed II: I never noticed the first thread
Durkon says Roy and Julia have the same eyes. However, Roy and Julia's eyes are mirrored. It's most noticeable in panel 7 of #364.
It's just weird because you'd expect a line like that to be one of OOTS's many self-referential art jokes.
