That’s a Bargain
Chapter: Season Four
Guys, I am in love with Amy (based on this and other spoilery things). Also: HOLY SHIT POP’S NAME IS BUFORD!??!??!
(It is. His name is Buford “Pops” Tigh)
To save a little space and time, Mel stepped away to browse off-panel. She didn’t leave.
I don’t know if it’s a typo or Sam speaking in broken grammar as is popular among today’s youth when surprised, but in panel 2 he says “Where did get it, Amy?” and it seems a tad out of character…
It is indeed a typo! Let me fix that…
and THANK YOU!
So Brian when will these hats be in the d20 store?!?
I want a new lucky hat!!!
He has a name!
As soon as I heard Pops’ name was Buford, I immediately thought of the most famous one I know.
Sheriff Buford T. Justice, of course!
Indeed! After the comic where Sam mentions Big and Little Enos, it makes me wonder if there’s a pattern here…
I agree. Lucky squid hats for everyone!
Man, make these hats. I’ll buy them. All of them. Every single bloody one you can make.
This is currently my lucky gaming hat (it actually belongs to my housemate, but I steal it for game nights and so on).

Nice, I stumbled on that Rammus hat the other night.
It is literally impossible to be unhappy while wearing it. I put it on and I start grinning involuntarily…
Might just be me, but Amy’s dialogue in the first panel reminds me of the way Amy Farah Fowler from The Big Bang Theory speaks.
Also, Cthulhu puns are awesome! The world could use more Cthulhu puns.
I can see that now that you mention it. I’m okay with it. Amy’s actual inspiration comes from a little bit of Luna Lovegood and a girl I knew in high school (only with her personality turned up to 11).
So, curiosity: is Tigh pronounced like “tie”, or like “tee”? Or does it have a different pronunciation altogether?
I thought it was always pronounced “tie” like in Battlestar Galactica
Yep! It’s like TIE.
I see what you did there…
I like the Amy character too! I hope she sticks around!
Buford? Well, it could be worse, his name could have been Sue… 8(
The comic in the background of Panel 1 reminds me of this picture:

It is copies of “Dead Iron”, Dallas Noble’s latest game. Yes, it is in the Discount Section… Hmmmm…
Feels like a hint of things to come… I quite like the little we’ve seen of Dallas, so I hope this means there’s some more development on the way for her
First off: Whoops! didn’t see the “Dead” part of the title, sorry about that!
Hopefully, this is just a case of “they can’t ALL be bestsellers.” Otherwise, if Dallas IS in trouble…then surely Sam, being destined for greatness, can somehow assist her, or allow her to be a partner in his endeavors…but wait! That might lead to Dallas going down the path of the dark side, and stealing Karthun! WAIT! I see…I see yet another path! If they pool their intellects, will their hearts follow?
If THAT happens, then what of Mel? What of Amy? Will they ALL have feelings for Sam!?
NNAAAH, that kind of stuff only happens in dating games and Archie comics! I’m just getting ahead of myself…
*extreme close up* OR AM I!?!? *DUUUUUNNNN!*
Also, for the record: “Gamers R’lyeh love ’em!” Very nice.
“Will they ALL have feelings for Sam!?
NNAAAH, that kind of stuff only happens in dating games and Archie comics!”
Or in a Chastity Valour audiobook…
Indeed!
Why does Sam date Amy for goodness sake? Look how cute she is! Just, look! Will yeah?
These hats need to happen!!! Aw hell, take my money for them anyway!!!
Right, Mel stepped away to ‘browse’. That’s totally not giggling you’re hearing from the White Wolf aisle.
wait… his last name is “Tigh”!?
Yes, indeed!
That’s right. When we finally have the “Time Jump” story arc, we’ll see a Sam who has an eyepatch and is, for no real explicable reason, more badass.
also bald and a drunk
So what’s wrong with selling hats that would send the spit flying?
Funny, I just won my GF a Squid hat at the local fair… haha what a coincidence.
Ventriloquist Cthulhu hat. great.
I know this is late as heck, but the squid lost its wings from the introduction….
Unless the wings are movable parts… in which case I am somewhat worried for Amy, as her hat could likely be more alive than any of us realize 😛
