HOVER-TEXT: I don’t know what his problem is. You put Erotic in front of anything and it makes it better. Well… almost. Erotic Prostate Exam is where it all falls down.
Apparently you’ve never seen Road Trip.

“Erotic mammogram.” Nope, doesn’t work. And I’m saying that from a position of not ruling out “erotic chiles rellonos”! =((O.O))=
“Erotic Cast-Iron Skillet Cooking”

… I’ll be in my bunk.
… I’ll be in my bunk.
… Damn you, Dominic! 😛
Ehm, how about erotic castrations? That definitely kills all the action in your balls… 😛
I actully know people that are into that…
And yet erotic colonoscopies are a thing:
‘Erotic Immolation’…nope, still pretty nad! Kinda fun to say, tho!
I expected today’s comic to be 3 panels all with Brett holding his facial expression from Friday’s final panel.
And honestly, I would have been OK with that.
Entirely agree!
Seconded
I would have been okay with it too, and laughed entirely too loud about it, but I suspect Brian didn’t want to push the “broken Brett” angle too far. 😉
Erotica Booger Eaters from Planet Ten, powered by GURPS.
As someone who has been part of a group w/ a GM/Player couple, I wholly understand Brett’s reaction.
We do this all the time. Hubby and I even co-ran two separate campaigns that were able to mesh into one big awesome adventure (which we’re probably ending this week, woohoo!!). I get that it can be a mess, but if the couple in question can put that aside for the game table, it can be maaaaaagic.
Ok, I am gonna catch massive amounts of shit for this. Brett. Your best friend needs you. Quit being a whiny little sphincter muscle!
While I get the rule, and I expect we the audience probably finds it funny, I’m pretty sure everyone else is getting sick of Brett’s constant knee-jerk outbursts when things change. I wonder if it’ll be Trevor or Charlie tell him the it’s now his turn to STFU, MTFU, and game on. Personally, I hope it’s Charlie; being told that be the most easygoing and laid-back member of the group will have a mess of weight behind it.
Eh, couple gaming is fun. I’ve been DMing for my partner as long as we’ve been together just about. It can definitely inflame issues though. My partner knows that I pull no blows when I DM, but when her character faces near certain death, it’s always tempting to introduce a bit of Deus Ex Machina to save her. And sometimes when the dice just hate the players, you’re not only the one “responsible”, you’re also the one to support them afterwards when they’re sad about character loss.
In-Comic: Eh. Brett will be Brett. His redeeming qualities outweigh the baggage. By a very slim majority. And I say that with the full knowledge that he is literally Santa Claus.
Meta: conflict is the soul of story. We get to watch and enjoy how this plays out. We also get to enjoy “Monday-morning Quarterbacking.” Win-win.
Good points! 😀
From what little I know about Steve Jackson, this seems like it’d be -more- likely to make you sponsored by them.
You might have a point there. Come to think of it, several Munchkin cards have had art by webcomic artists…
I’m with Brett, this would ruin my relationship if this where to happen to me.
I just agreed to run a game for a party of four:
My Wife
My Son
My Daughter
My Daughter’s boyfriend
This can only end in tears…..
Blog about it! Now!
No, seriously, I’d love to hear how a game like this would play out 🙂
The boyfriend’s character dies horribly every game session. EVERY. GAME. SESSION.
“Okay, X, what do you do?”
“I proceed down the hallway, checking for traps every ten feet or so.”
“Okay, I’m going to need nine saving throws.”
“….what!?”
“Well, you were so busy looking for traps, you forgot to keep an eye out for boggards, kuo toa, Satan, various dragons of all hues, the bubonic plague, ninjas, pirates, the rodents of unusual size…”
Rodents Of Unusual Size?
I don’t believe in them.
I did something similar for my family a few years back. everyone loved it except for my partner.
She said “It might be nice for me to be spending time with the kids, but they kept deferring to her as Mum, and relying on her to advance the story, so she felt she was the only one playing so it wasn’t fun for her.
Which I found surprising having heard of some of her old gaming experiences – until I realised in her old games she got to be the female unicorn gamer that everyone fussed over and the guys in her old party were the ones providing the actual gaming and entertainment…. she just got to ride the wave (which is why she [use to] enjoy it (no work, no commitments).
Huh. I never knew about this rule. I also hadn’t noticed that Amy never played in Sam’s GM games.
I can think of a few others where it would fall down too, and none of them are polite for the mixed company which reads this comic….
My group has yet to have that problem and I’ve been the GM on Saturdays and my boyfriend was the GM for Mondays. Though A: We had been playing together before we started dating and B: everyone knows neither of us are playing favorites.
