Holiday Break: 2015
Hello all! As you can see, I am taking a little break from the current Karthun arc for the holidays. I will be on the road a lot this holiday season and to be honest, I kind of need a little break to recharge my batteries. It has been a stressful year. I will cover this and what is coming up in 2016 with my State of the Monkey post around January 1st, so keep an eye on the site and social media for that.
I will be taking a break from December 23rd thru January 4th. The Karthun arc resumes on January 6th and then the Christmas arc follows for a part of January. After that, maybe IGS? We’ll see…
In the meantime, I thought I would leave everyone a little gift with this Reroll certificate. Every year I like to give the players in my group a cool metagame certificate for being awesome. This year, I am not GMing for anyone at Christmas so I thought I would make a cert for everyone, GMs and players alike. Feel free to print these and give them to your players or your GM (ballsy, go for it. I dare you).
Merry Christmas, everyone and thank you for reading.

HOVER-TEXT: Seriously, if you use these and awesome moments or utter chaos ensues, I want to hear about it.
Player used it, a hero point, and another players hero point to narrowly escape instant true death.
It is almost worth it to give ONE to my group, just to see how badly they misuse it.
…might want to tack an expiration date or numbering on them to keep your players honest
One each.
Non-transferable.
Take notes.
There ya go.
Rip them in half after they’ve been used.
Enjoy the holidays, and have a nice break! You’ve earned it 🙂
I have shared this with my gaming group. My character, Raster (5th level, half-elf, wild magic sorcerer with a fire fixation) needs that bad…
Happy Holidays and thank you very much for another year’s worth of great comics.
Welcome to the only officially sanctioned “re-roll” ticket to any game I ever run! lol
Merry Christmas Brian! Have a great Break!
Thanks for the heads up Brian. It’s very much appreciated. have a safe christmas break.
I will allow this at my table.
I’ll have to try this at next week’s session if I need it.
I’m running something starting in January. This will definitely come in handy. Thank you, and Merry Christmas!
I just shared this with my gaming groups, but I also told them that they only get one total, rather than one per player. I look forward to seeing what situation requires them to use it.
Enjoy a well-earned vacation, sir. Thanks for the stories – looking forward to seeing what you have in store for 2016.
Lvl 1s trapped in dungeon. Dm the kind who likes to put things.. that may be out of our level .. . Long story short, attempted to save ally. got knocked out. Ally pissed off guard and character was roasted alive by 8d6 flame damage.
Well… That was fun.
Ended up using the re-roll ticket on a cold-coated greatsword attack from my Suli Barbarian, where I golf-swung at a hellhound (a la Dark Souls 2 (our GM let’s us describe the attack and may add special effects based on the style)). Went from a Botch to a Nat 20. And then base 12 damage.
The hellhound was bifurcated, frozen, and flung away as two ice boulders to slam into two other hellhounds, scaring them away.
Well. Shit. That just sound fucking AWESOME.
Although we don’t celebrate Christmas around here, I sent a copy to my GM. He responded by giving me inspiration. So thanks, Brian. You may yet save my character from being troll food.
Dammit! Now I’m caught up! What am I going to do for the rest of the year?!?
Reread it again!
I’ll be savvy and give it to my GM. She rolls horribly when she plays a character, yet crits all the time when she’s in the GM’s seat. Sooooo next time she takes the tank’s last half of her HP in one shot, she’ll be able to reroll instead of just saying “Oh sorry.”
Wish I could go back to Sam’s last game and give him one, too.
I used it in a group, I’m not sure how your going to take what one player so far as used it for. The character in question called himself Tremont the Playa. every time he’s in towns he likes to check out the houses of ill repute well, he finally chose a woman of the evening that was sick and in turn caught it. So, he used his reroll certificate to do the scene over with hopes he wasn’t infected this time. In this case the infection was the Werewolf disease which is ironic since he’s in a group of werewolf hunters.
This one wasn’t a result of the re-roll token but is still funny. This happened in a Cyberpunk setting and my character is a Feline Hybrid named Felix. Felix was in a car with another member of the group driving. We were tailing a group of Mafiosi through the city, it was all going fine until they decided to warn us off with snipers. My GM asked to make a Notice roll which allowed me to spot the laser sights they were using however, I failed the Spirit check that followed and gave into feline urge to “Catch the Shiny!!!” and so with our cover blown, the driver had no choice but to get us out of there. Not my finest hour.
Now see, youcould have used the reroll on the catch the shiney check, although I’ve failed that one myself a time or three when playing cat based races……
So, I thought you were only on break till Jan. 4th. I hate to be that guy, but I like when you manage to post three times a week.
You are. You are that guy. No one likes that guy.
Actually, he said he’d put a webcomic up on the 6th, the 4th is I’m assuming when he’d start making said webcomic, as contrary to common belief webcomics are made from time, effort, and planning, not fairy dust and good intentions. Even so, we know that it has been a stressful year for Brian, and if he needs some time to get his game back to one hundred percent let’s not give him crap for it.
HEY MIKE! GREAT NEWS! THERE IS A COMIC UP!
