>>150189891Base Forms, Nanase.It gets more complicated with Grace's various transformations but I think Jeremy Form and Horned form would win clean.
Im gooning
Going by the back cover, it's either 4 or 5e, but I don't have a 3.5 book on hand to compare them, grognard Elliot may yet be a reality.
>>150190059>When your artist bro is drawing in the back of the classroom making the goofiest faces
No! I play the same class as Rich, no!
>>150190092>no plot survives contact with the PCs.Hey has Ellen shown the requisite knowledge that you'll stop screaming about Elliot being a Normie that's never played D&D?
>>150190153>>150190161I played with several GM's and none of them would let you play a different sex from your own, if they did not think you where good enough to pull it off.
>>150190140If thos wasn't a storutime I would post that Ackward zombie comic about faces.
That's funny one time, GeorgePlease don't make it a habit
>>150190240>>150190249Ellen is now officially better at running games than most Adventurer's League DMs, fuck me running.
>>150189891Griffins being described as cats and/or birds is a good joke, it's just unfortunate that it's buried so deep in that text block.
>>150190373>Roll Save Against Genderbend Breath Weapon..
I warned you about those stairs bro
>>150190447>See, the nose shape is different>Ellen's brows are thicker>and the colored parts of the eyes are different>Pretty Sure Nanase is wearing Genderbent Elliot's shirt for some reason you can't tell me they're samefacing>come on guys!
omg, Dan locking in exactly onto playerthink
>>150190625>Justin: HALLELUJAH!
Any properly run DnD session should double as a therapy session
>>150189945What about telekinesis though? Can she do both at once?
>>150190211Yes, but George is very tall.
>>150190680>>150190689And The Shive, pacified, and made safe another character. All will be one mind, one voice, one personality, all will be The Shive
>>150190745Bro sees introspection and personal growth and thinks it's got to be the work of an Eldritch Horror.
>>150190767All of egs is just characters losing what made them unique and different, and turning them into just another Avatar of Dan.
>>150190485Oh, no. I'm Larry.
>>150190900I have never seen anybody get properly into character with less then a at least half a year of playing.
>>150190885>Using Rope as a class related skillIt's 3.5IT'S 3.5!ELLIOT IS A GROGNARD!
>>150190935Hey now, no one's a grognard until they say old good new bad
Non-lethal damage is something my former DMs have struggled withOne time my barbarian punched eight guards to death in a row
>>150191016>You're a Rogue.>You're a Paladin!
>>150190915I can think of zero scenes with either Larry or you at the school. I get your dumb but this level of stupidity is unbelievable.
The evil of ANCIENT EGYPT
This is a fun check for players actually
>>150191186Dan was been watching Linkara videos around then.
I was picturing something like Rich's
>>150190463It keeps happening!
>>150191204A medieval chicken would look nothing like modern chickens. Modern chickens where the result of a concerted effort in the early 1900s, to crossbreed all the different types of chickens into one super, egg laying, meat amount, meat taste, and even making it so males have a single feather longer then the rest at birth so they can be separated.Medieval chickens would look wildly different depending on their type and what they where breed for.
>>150191305Also, New World crops are forbidden!
>>150190211Ive never actually seen someone fuck up playing the opposite gender before. I dont think it happens as much as people expectWell, i did make a twi-lek smuggler once who got a bunch of shocked "wait, you're playing a girl?" Reactions at about session 3, but thats probably on me for not making it part of the character. Ironic given that i spent the whole time trying to handcuff people, but smugglers get fuck all gear. Its my one toy and im using them damn it!
>>150190505BRILLIANT!
>>150191109So, George helping Ellen with the rules actually happened.
>>150190532>Marik The ClericFuck it hurts when that happens.Bernard the Guard was a personal low point for me.
Show of hands right nowHow many of you had a goblin for a team mascot that your party kidnapped/adopted
>>150190353Is nanase playing a mundane character a microagression?
>>150191253On the one hand, there's an obvious joke in Maribel being identical to the Fake One in the cage.>>150191256On the other hand..
>>150190411The weird part to me is that she apparently doesnt know uroyimocco yet. Its a free language proficiency and somehow noone has bothered to teach her. Even stranger, it means elliot probably never taught ellen, AND she didnt pick it up from the multiple uroyims at her dream school
Rich, no!You're flying too close to the sun!
>>150190697Getting out of your head actually helps you get into your head more objectively, it's like one of those paradox things.
That was a fun little adventure, good job DanTomorrow we head back to Diane's drama with her father>>150191670But Elliot, what if you actually see something?
>>150191332What's "taters" precious?
>>150191624I could see AU Ellen never thinking to ask someone to "teach" her.
>>150191512If this was a Cat, Marik the Cleric would be dead.
>>150191624I forgot that Elliot knew alieneseBut I also doubt I'm the only one
>>150191125Ellen and Nanase sparing well that never happened the 56th. To bad to, it would be a perfect opportunity to showcase Ellen's beam spells>>150191579Follow up game, Well that never happened the 57th. Even if it would star the 3 least interesting characters.
>>150191539No. It was a Kobold.
>>150191849>Well that never happenedIn the..two years since it was posted.
>>150191721>That was a fun little adventure, good job DanNah, it was a lot of what's wrong with current EGS. It went on forever, wasn't interesting, wasn't that entertaining, strawmanned gender bullshit Dan got from whateve social media hellhole he frequents but all of it done in the most boring way possible to try not to offend anyone.
Oh also, Dan just using the comic to comment on games he's into but replacing the characters with the EGS ones.
>>150190656Because larry is hot? We all know it, Its not weird if its true
>>150190935We dont know that! It could just be naturally high dex or expertise
>>150191721It was fun. Better than the card games especially.
>>150190999Only melee strikes can be nonlethal. Magic is always a killshot
>>150191109Being uncertain whether or not it's a d20 for initiative is an argument in favor of Elliot originally playing 2e or earlier.
>>150191721>But Elliot, what if you actually see something?>You're in an alley, being held at knife point>This guy has no pants on, and clearly intends to rape you>Suddenly, you look up and see a local super heroine flying by>Relief floods through your body>Your eyes meet>And she flies away
>>150191816Yeah but... still. Actually over 5000 years im shocked it isnt common. You'd think everyone would speak it for the convenience
>>150191539Ive done a donkey. RIP maplehoof...
>>150191539I accidently left a drow twink NPC unattended and the party fighter was played by a woman.
>>150193018>Hold Person>Entangle>Sleep>Grease>Hypnotic Pattern>Otto's IrresistibleDance>Deep Pockets>Duo Dimension>Gender Bend Beam>Summon Clown IV
>>150193629>Summon Clown IV>Not a killshot
>>150193203That opens up the hysterical possibility that Elliot and Ellen can calculate THAC0.
>>150193729THAC0 is ungainly and counterintuitive, but it's not by any means difficult.It's good modern versions don't use it, but it wasn't as bad as people pretend it was.
Wasn't this comic about transformations and clones and aliens and furries with DragonBall Z powers when it started? How did it become people sitting around playing D&D?
>>150193629Anything over Summon Clown II is practically guaranteed lethality.Hell the Summon Clown III options are->Ghost Clown>Blood Clown>Lesser Space ClownA enemy isn't surviving any of those without some kind of protection like an Amulet of Clown Repulsion.
>>150193858Dan will make up any excuse possible not to develop characters or the plot, only when he has exhausted all other options will he progress the story
>>150193912You're not summoning 4th (or 3rd honestly) level clown you maniac, you're summoning first level clowns and trading the level for more dice to summon. 4d4 Clowns out on the field, throwing pies, tripping into enemies, interrupting spell casting with HONK, it's pure mayhem but it won't kill anything at level.
>>150193325That actually is pretty screwy. Chalk it up to the perils of retroactive continuity, I suppose.
Lagnuege classes in a world with open presences of Umocrons would take 5 seconds and give you native level skill.
I remember reading EGS 20 years ago and thinking to myself, "This Lord Tedd guy seems cool, I hope Dan gets back to him soon."Imagine how much I'm laughing at my old self right now.
>>150193629Okay sure but none of those do damage except the clown, and its (technically) making melee attacks with its disgusting clown fingers
>>150194443It would solve the weirdness with heads-earthers speaking english too. If everyone was actually unknowingly speaking uroyimocco that whole bit of strangeness disappears
>>150190172Well, no because it' ambiguous for Elliot to be aware of that. His favorite movie was: "Dragonheart, but with an alcoholic" however, he's still a normie jock type on top of it.
>>150190656Oh, come now, Daniel.
>>150195432Ellen is textually referring back to Elliot's experiences playing in Junior High, before she existed as an entity in of herself.
>>150191305That's interesting.
>>150191394Kind of wild seeing Ellen have a flashback to her real childhood.
>>150191653>>150191658O.K. that got a snort out of me. They're such nerds lmao
>>150191698I know the cast is bloated, but I would be super down with this. While we run the risk of George getting Shived, if he didn't his sardonic wit would really balance out the cast who've all turned into middle school girls who act like the baby looney tunes
>>150191721I can't remember what happens but it's obscene that we're going to have a whole arc about Diane dealing with her Father drama and still somehow not meet or interact with him in any way>>150191849Ellen and Nanase sparring would actually solve a lot of problems. 1. More anime fights2. More reasons for their magic to get shown off AND level up3. More fanservice (I don't see why they wouldn't have the same makeout rule she had with Elliot)4. An excuse to have Ellen and Nanase DO SOMETHING
>>150192191While I did enjoy it, and it is better than card games, you are right because ultimately it's just filler. I'm super down for filler and slice of life/iyashekei content but when they plot is as stifled and meandering as EGS's has been, it needs to be treated a bit more critically. If we were still clipping along like Goo-Birthday Party did then I'd say, heck yeah, why not take a breather and have some filler every once in awhile, but we've been taking a breather for like ten years.
>>150195871Yes, I don't feel there are enough indicators to make it in-character for Elliot to have DM'd D&D campaigns with Tedd in which he wasn't twisting his arm to do it, and I really don't think Sarah would've done it even if she was crushing on Elliot and wanted to hangout with him. It would've made more sense if Ellen played the game with Kaoli in the other dimension, but then we'd lose the bit about her reconnecting with/reclaiming a part of her past that she gave up when she accepted she wasn't Elliot anymore.
>>150190172I went with the assumption Ellen played D&D in her weird alternate universe memory thing
The latest two sketchbooks from this year, yet relevant to this NP storyline.
>>150196261
Stupid as it sounds, I will never forgive Dan for outgrowing the anime fighting before1.Letting Elliot fire off a Hadouken2.Letting Elliot succumb to his evil side to unlock an Akuma-esque Raging Demon super with gender bendingTamashii Gekido or whatever it was called was the closest thing we got and it went nowhere.
>>150190211>>150191340In 20 years of playing RPGs with multiple DMs and numerous players I think I can count on the finger of one hands the time I have seen "a male/female character" compared to "a character that happen to be male/female". 90% of the time the sex of the character is chosen as a purely aesthetic choice and 9% because of in setting reasons (for example this order is made only of females)
>>150197025Saying this in a shive thread might bring a pharohs curse down upon me, but i just dont care about gender shit. I dont want to explore gender roles and i definitely dont want to hit on guys or have to look for a husband, if i wanted that id go outside
>>150196261Reading the gray comic it always surprise me how colorful the hair is.
>>150193242And then you turn into a super villain.
>>150191229>LinkaraThat explains some things.
>>150196213I know it's common to cast Sarah as "the girl" in a lot of cases, but between the three of them she might be the biggest fantasy nerdAnd we saw during the card game tournament that she's ready, willing, and able to construct a fantasy narrative I think she would have been happy to play, assuming she wasn't the one to propose it in the first place
>>150191394>>150196026If we got moments like this before Magus I could see his pov instead of his sounding like s schizo.
Therapy session aside, this was one of the best representations of playing and GMing RPG I ever saw in a comic.I agree with the dude that said that, as fun as this was, the entire arc is filler tho. So I reinforce what I mentioned last thread:Dan should have ended EGS years ago, and made a low stake comic about fat guys playing RPG. It even gives him reason to have harmless transformations scenarios.
>>150196269Not to be a jerk but this looks AI stiff.
>>150196153>>150197794Well yeah it's fillerIt's EGS: NP, it's where filler goes
>>150198215I get what you mean buy the main comic already has filler, so this is filler on top of filler.
>>150197804Dan’s work has been stiff as fuck ever since he started relying on CG models for everything
>>150196126>Ellen and Nanase sparring would actually solve a lot of problems. Just having general spars between the characters would also be great in general. It something members of both the North and South cast both do, so no need to contrive a reason for them all to meet at Tedd's basement for the 50th time. They can talk about things, and showcase their powers as the same time. And it a chance for Dan to practice actions scenes, without it being plot relevant.. >>150197367I can see Sarah wanting to play and even be willing to GM a RPG, I can even see Elliot and Tedd going along with Sarah. I cannot see any version of Elliot, randomly picking up a RPG and starting to run it..
>>150198352I still assume it was Tedd’s idea.
>>150198352If only there was some kind of Dojo where they could spar with their anime style powers.
>>150198352>I cannot see any version of Elliot, randomly picking up a RPG and starting to run it..AgreedActually, Elliot kind of sticks out of the main group. Tedd, Sarah, Justin, Susan... they're all various flavors of nerd. And Elliot's a jock. Who met all his friend's (Tedd, Justin, Noah) by doing jock stuff
>>150198906Well Sarah and Elliot only really know each other because they lived near each other, since it stated they have known each other since they where kids. Elliot meet Tedd at the earliest in middle school. Susan is Sarah's friend Elliot does have a notable friendship with Susan until they started movie reviews.
>>150198776There was one, but it closed
