Dungeon Run: Liar Liar
Chapter: Comics, Season Five
WHAT A GREAT POKER FACE, AMY!
Hey guys, GenCon event registration is up and that means it’s almost time for the annual d20Monkey & Dick Jokes seminar! I will describe it more in detail soon but know that good things are planned. There will be gaming stories, announcements for secret things, and the usual Q&A. Here is another link!
I love Amy.
BlackAdder reference?
A CUNNING PLAN, SIR!
I totally imagine someone who didn’t hear her the first time hearing that and thinking the Lava’s an illusion. xD
That is what you get from metagaming. Never forget that Character and Player knowledge seperation are there for your fun!
This is very similar to why nobody will play risk with me anymore. Or any strategy conquering type game, really. I spend all the “Not my turn” offering carefully worded strategic whispers to everyone else, which tend to be accurate, but in my favor. The beautiful bit is, usually, as long as ONE of them does it, I benefit, and the others get screwed. So everyone is tempted to do it. Granted, this may just speak to the stategic failings of the people who want to play those games that I know, and not my own skill. But allow me my delusions
And your survival, in some cases.
And this is also a bunch of guys playing for a prize so I think there’s probably plenty of the meta goin’ on.
I can attest to the non-illusory properties of the lava.
:-p
Damnit Dustin
just gonna leave this here…

Really the ‘lava’ just swept you away to a room of pizza, a couch, and Wil Wheaton. (howsthat for a tabletop reference meshed with a vague futurama reference)
That’s possibly the most adorably hilarious attempt at a cunning ruse that I’ve seen in years.
Have to admit, I expected to see a strip involving the gamer bros flipping their shit that they all just got taken out of the game right away by another player. A female player nonetheless.
Sounds legit.
My money says that Amy and Dallas are going to win and everyone is going to put it down to Sam playing favorites.
I can see it coming down to Amy and Darth Jack***. I mean… what’shisface.
Oh yeah! Forgot about Philip Dove. That said, m
y prediction stands.
I’ve been staring at the background of panel three trying to discern what the creature was.
I can only guess it’s a dragon or similar.
I think either a dragon, or from the context, some kind of magma elemental.
I do think I recall something about dragons being extinct in Karthun, though? Maybe that’s just my brain, though.
Yes. It’s in the flavor text for the contest. There is, of course, a decent chance that that’s just there to throw people off/IC knowledge.
Hmmm. I remember this section of the dungeon being called ”blood of the wyrm”, if it’s not metaphorical then it could be an elemental originated/corrupted by draconic blood.
Heh, reminds me of old school my beloved Dark Sun. “the world has only One Dragon… Evrry major villain is turning into a dragon!”

Sorry, couldn’t help myself. I’ll, uh… I’ll just see myself out…
No need! *Punts Sean out*
Actually, that was fairly amusing. Come on back in and snark with the rest of us.
*singing* Lava’s lovelier the second time around! *end singing*
If the other players did catch most of what Amy yelled out, a fantastic ruse would be to follow it up with “I think there are other players alive in the lava!”.
If they believe her they either think the lava is an illusion or look for the magic lava-immunity McGuffin and either die or waste time and not make it to the next round.
OT: How do you sign in to Gravatar?
OMG I CAN’T KEEP IT IN ANY LONGER. HOW DOES DALLAS MANAGE TO LOOK SO CUTE YET BADASS AT THE SAME TIME!?!?!?
