HOVER-TEXT: The new kids in the group get a little bit of spotlight in this arc. You’re humming New Kids right now aren’t you? You’re welcome.
Sure, if by that you mean this song by the Barenaked Ladies. 🙂
I hope they have…. the right stuff.
Or the white stuff, you know in case someone ate all the frosting off the cookies from the craft services table at the meeting.
+5 Points for the Weird Al connection!
You better be, Forgehand, because this is the kind of campaign where PCs lose limbs and eyes. Even if they get special super-dee-dooper abilities on critical hits and mingle with royalty at 1st level (thus breaking the rule of Goblin-Goblin-Orc-Other).
My style of GMing isn’t for everyone. I accept that.
(Just so it’s clear, I love the Karthun arc, and have no complaint about Sam’s – or insofar as it’s a projection – your DM/GM style.)
I mostly wanted to throw in the callback.
What is this rule of Goblin-Goblin-Orc-Other? Despite being a GM, I have never heard of it.
It’s a callback to the first Karthun arc. Brent was more of a dick back then.
Brett learns us on “Goblin. Goblin. Orc. Other.”
Oh this will be interesting. wonder what will happen to them on the journey? will they make it safely?
So far a pretty decent build-up to the quest. As long as it doesn’t go the CRPG route… 😉
“You legendary company of epic champions and chosen of the gods have been summoned before the throne of the Iron King, in the Iron Halls, under the ominous threat of dire prophecy…to take care of a giant rodent problem in the basement. Oh, and if you’ll notice the glowing golden punctuation floating over my vizier, I’m sure he wishes to ask you to harvest a specific number of an essential organ from these rats, which most of the rats will be missing for some reason, in defiance to all laws of biology. Don’t worry, the vermin will mysteriously never be completely slaughtered before you obtain the required amount, and in fact the basement will still be fully populated even after I have congratulated you for eradicating them.”
This..this right here made me smile.
Good lord, i can’t wait for the Karthun book to come out. I want to have it in my greedy little fingerssssss!!!!
Me too!!!
Hmm… Forge religions are always a fine thing, but I keep thinking back to the Hammerites in Thief.
I think of the Believers of the Source (the Godsmen) from Planescape.
Praise the Builder!
Is that… Is the bearded guy her hammer? Does she have an intelligent hammer? That’d be so cool if she did. It’s like the Black Blades for Magi(Plural form of Magus?) in Pathfinder. Which I really want to play one of now.
Oh, no. That’s just Elder Forgehand Nathan Surn. He appeared in the last comic and everything. Unless…
Umm, nope. Right below the comic we have word of god, that “[t]he older gent is Forgehand Breck’s father, Helvin Breck. Helvin is also a Forgehand of Deknar the Smith and is currently the most senior Forgehand in Andern.†But he does look a lot like the hologram two comics ago. However, it was never said that the hologram looked like Surn. It might simply have been Breck relying Surns message.
I’m pretty sure that’s what’s happening, yeah; if you go back a few pages and look at them together, they look exactly the same.
These… are not the hammer.
This is possibly my favourite piece of art you have done yet.
