Charles. Speaking of Truths
Chapter: Season Six
Wait. Charlie has a brother?! Huh. Interesting.
Speaking of interesting, did you know you can pick up d20Monkey t-shirts over at T-Shirt Diplomacy now? You totally can. I will be offering up some greatest hits designs and rolling out a steady stream of new designs as well. For the time being, my online store is closed, as I do not have the space to warehouse, pull, pack, and ship orders in my current habitat. That will change eventually but for now, all of my shirts will come through the otherworldly beings of TSD.
HOVER-TEXT: If there is enough demand for a flashback, I MIGHT present the events associated with the diaphragm incident. Maybe.
Do it, Brian. DO IT!
Yes please.
(If at all possible, I’d love to see Charlie’s brother make an appearance at some point. Very curious about this now.)
Naw, let The Diaphragm Incident remain the perfect McGuffin.
Noddle incident, McGuffin is an object (usually) thats important to the plot and is special for reasons never explaned
Never! Such things are better left to the imagination.
Can’t tell too much about the Noodle incident, without ruining it’s Noodle-ness.
Pro: Do it, sounds fun! Con: Leave it a mystery, let people imaginations run wild. Pro: More comics! Yay! Do it!
Nothing wrong with just letting it be your noodle incident.
Flashback!
Well that’s odd. It ate my comment.
*Insert me chanting “Flashback!” here.*
Flash-Back!
Flash-Back!
Consider this my official demand. Sounds like an interesting story.
MAKE OUR DREAMS A REALITY! JUST DO IT! DO IT! DO IT!
I’d lean towards “There are some things that are better left unsaid.” I think it would diminish it if it were explained. š
Dewitt! woo!
Please do.
Pretty please?
Assuming that the diaphragm in question is the birth control device, I recommend leaving it a mystery.
Nah. It’s like the Noodle Incident from Calvin and Hobbes. Way more horrible and funnier if left to the imagination.
Consider it demanded.
For the sake of this being a perfect Noodle Incident, don’t do it. But, should the demand for The Diaphragm Incident be overwhelming, then go ahead… and make it available to those who chip in $5 or more to your Patreon.
Am I too late for all the demand? I want to help the demand!
Hot Damn! I got my wish. š It really does more weight coming from Charlie.:)
does have, even. (stupid typos)
You know mic drops are a lot less cool when you say mic drop.
The diaphram incident might be a good excuse to pull out a cetrain owl…
Is that a mantled-up mic…it has a very “candy cane” look to it.
I’m intrigued by what this this “diaphragm incident” may be (have been)
Yeah, I’m 99% sure he wasn’t holding that a second ago. He might want to remember that Carlos isn’t in on the secret, though.
I so totally must see what is up with the diaphragm incident.
SHut up and roll some dice… also diaphragm incident ?
Totally with Carlos on this one.
What, you dont?
Weirdo.
Of course he carries a mic. He’s fucking Santa.
Aww, poor guy is just afraid to lose his friends.
He had to be away from them for so long he doesnt want to see it fall apart now.
Flash back or Flash Dance, I would be happy with either.
“sit down, shut up, and lets roll some dice” That’s a shirt
WotC did a marketing tagline for 3E like that: “Sit Down, Roll Some Dice, Have Fun.” http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_egME-wKAc1g/SqrRCZmP2LI/AAAAAAAAAW0/7SBEobSW8pI/s400/56.jpg
The diaphram incident could have potential. Especially if its left out of context. š
Thank God *someone* finally told Brett to shut up. Dude might be a fierce friend and all that, but sometimes he just embodies the worst traits of gamers, and needs someone to rein him in.
Also, I imagine “The Diaphragm Incident” is probably quite a tale.
dude. i know he gets annoying, but he also takes their rules very seriously, especially after things like the diaphragm incident. he does yell alot but he holds his rules highly and this is breaking one of their longstanding ones
Game rules are not more important than being an adult and handling things maturely.
I know Brett is pretty popular around here, quite possibly because a lot of us see ourselves in him. Shit, I have no doubt I had some Brett-like qualities 25 years ago. But that doesn’t change the fact that he’s kind of an asshole, when you get right down to it, and sometimes an asshole needs to be told to shut up, particularly by his friends! š
It’s not like brett is too out of line here. Dungeonmaster’s girlfriend is its own tv tropes page for fucks sake. And he is experienced to know they rarely go well, and he loves both his gaming group and his girlfriend, and doesn’t want this thing, which often goes wrong, to screw up either.
While I agree with this in general, I think it’s worth pointing out that Jeanie is only planning to become the DM in the short-run. I know Brett said there have been individual sessions ruined by couples involvement, but it seems less likely to crumble than a relationship between the permanent DM and one of the players.
Also, have you seen how the two of them met? She hated his guts and he was infatuated. They’ve come a looooong way since then.
There’s a lot of talk about GMs and their SO’s playing in the same game. I have to say I have never had this be an issue, I treat them like any of my other players. It come with time and maturity š I look forward to gaming every week because of it.
I wasn’t planning to comment, but I must second all motions for a flashback to that incident. Sounds hilarious!
Damn. And here I was hoping Sam would get to shut him down in return. Fair play.
I would love a flashback
I don’t know why, but Sherri from Something*Positive and Carlos are now connected in my brain. Probably because they’re both quiet gamers who get really into their roles.
My head canon is that, because the mic was candy cane striped, Brett magicked it into existence.
Santa has the power to magic objects into existence, but they all end up being candy-cane striped. This is why he never magics up things like sports cars.
I think if he actually creates a candy cane, something explodes.
And the only reason he wouldn’t drive the candy-cane striped car is because he wants to keep his secret identity. C’mon, you know you’d drive the shit out of a car like that.
…I want to see him rocking out in his “Santa” persona off-season, in a car like that now.
Hell yes there is demand for it.
And there damn well better be an arc about Charlie and is brother š
I have a feeling that face Brett is making means he is thinking about resigning from the table. Which would piss me off, because his attitude is needed in their games.
Hey Brian, Why isn’t that quote on a T-shirt or hat design?
Alright I have to say I’m curious about this Diaphragm incident, somehow I think it could be really funny and worth the time to do if nothing else than for the laugh….
Must…Have… Diaphragm …. Incident….
Knowledge is Power. Knowledge of Diaphragm Incident is Power.
Blue Wizard needs more power.
