Dungeon Run: Untz
Update: Let’s clear up a few things that folks are speculating on.
1. The Karthun system is d20 based but there are key differences that I am keeping a little vague at the moment. You’ll see what I mean when the playtest document is released soon
2. Trevor is playing a thief (one of the four core classes) who is trained as a monk (a profession in the case of Karthun).
3. Trevor used two move actions to sprint ahead of the lava flow, using a special pole jump ability his (monk training) as part of the move action.
Believe me, I could easily spell every move and action out in the strips but it would take forever and a lot of the pacing/humor would be lost. When it is all said and done, I will write up a nice post explaining some of the off-camera action.
Thanks to everyone who came by the table at Denver Comic Con! It was great to meet so many nice folks.
More on Friday!
Hover Text: Make that booty clap, Trevor.
I’m glad he succeeded. I’d hate to see Douch-sorry Dove proven right so quickly about the protagonist’s gaming ability.
Welcome Back. …What did Trevor do again for that, clearly epic save?
Welp. Thanks to this comic, it confirms it. They are playing Pathfinder. I wondered which edition the Dungeon Run was being played in.
Yes and no. The Karthun system is d20 based but there are some key differences that I am keeping vague at the moment.
I pegged it being a Homebrew off of the Pathfinder rules. So far Pathfinder is the only edition that has an official Sorcerer Class with Elemental Bloodline. That isn’t to say that it can’t be played in 3.5e.
Ah well, can’t wait for the playtest document though.
Yeah it’s Karthun which is it’s own world/setting/game. I didn’t realize it was actually a real thing, can’t wait to read it.
Something tells me that the dungeon is designed to require the groups to at least marginally worked together. They might be in a contest to be the last one standing, but, quite literally, wiping out the rest of the party at the very beginning of the first encounter doesn’t seem like the best decision….
Nah, the rules said that whichever group gets to the center of the maze will win. Each tier of the dungeon only admits half as many people as the previous tier so killing off half of the participants is a requirement.
I’m quite sure that they’re playing in Karthun, But with elements of other realms, At least as far as class/abilities
Sometimes it isn’t about winning but ensuring that unplatable players lose.
HAH! TOLD YA! TOLD YA ALL!
LMFAO…. caw caw muthafucka!
No one likes a showboat. I mean I don’t like Dove, but I would’ve told Trevor to shut it as well.
“1. The Karthun system is d20 based but there are key differences that I am keeping a little vague at the moment. You’ll see what I mean when the playtest document is released soon”
May or may not have squeed like a 6’7″ 300lb fan boy after reading that, I am VERY looking forward to that.
Oh and I can’t wait to see dove get his, the battle isn’t over yet between him and Trevor. Personally I think giving Trevor some humble pie and lighting a solid rivalry fire between him and Dove would be a fun turn of events.
Uh… isn’t the lava supposed to be alive? We saw someone try to jump over it get eaten by lava.
There is only one magma beast in the lava and he is busy at the moment (You’ll see next week).
How many action points did Trevor personally use for his Dance?
I am SO looking forward to seeing Karthun’s playtest sheet, or rules sheet, or rule book, or art, or anything really!
I know I speak for a large number of the fans when I say: GIMME GIMME GIMME GIMME GIMME GIMME GIMME!!! *Makes grabby gestures with hands*
(Active Encounter, CR: Mostly Harmless)
I love Trevor.
ayyyeee homestuck reference
