Well, what the history books don’t tell you is he was at one point high enough level to cast those spells. but being hot-headed and prone to flights of irrationality caused him to step into it to deep and get killed. Then he was resurrected (raise dead) and he would lose an experience level. Rince and repeat several times and that is what you would see in the 3rd edition campaigns.

And that is the downside of being an ***hole to your friends and everyone around you. instead of True Resurrection you get the wal-mart version of raise dead.

I have just now noticed the alternative text on your comics. I now have to reread them all

I bet she’s lying and you do just put it on. I really want something bad to happen to Sasha, is that evil of me? :\

Well, I guess you miss the chance to have a shared experience with others that you’ve never met. it’s part of the appeal of Living Campaigns. You get to have a shared history of adventuring with others even if you’ve never sat at the same table before. All you need to do is play the same scenario.

But home games also have tons of advantages over that of a shared campaign. The story is centered around your character, not some major NPC that others have created.

I feel like I’ve missed something always playing custom campaigns, we never have these famous NPCs turn up. Having said that, we have a spell research system so my character has invented enough spells that some enemies have started using his own spells against him.

I’ve always found Bigbys obsession with hands to be slightly disturbing, like there’s a spell called ‘Bigby’s Stranger Hand’ that he keeps for himself.

Thanks for the offer, but I don’t plan on any merch in the near future.

I’m delaying a bit on the money making aspect of this comic til at least the new year. The ads are already paying for all the hosting, pens, inks, and paper I need to do the strip right now.

The current story is scheduled to wrap up around Feb of 2011. I’ll have a book (both print and PDF) made a month or so later (I’ll probably be redrawing the first dozen strips or so and include the separate origin stories for Toad, Sasha and Coco).

Once I have an actual book, then I’ll set up an actual shop. I’ll probably experiment with a few merchandise ideas throughout the year just to test the waters and try out designs, but the spring of 2011 is probably the earliest I’ll have merch out.

In the mean time, just letting people know about the strip is thanks enough and greatly appreciated by me (put http://www.familiar-ground.com in your forum sigs!).

Hmm…maybe I should get around to putting up those signature banners that’s been on my to do list for some time now…

Thanks again. It’s nice to know that people are enjoying the comic.

On an unrelated note Cedric, when are you going to release more stuff for your shop? Perhaps something a bit cheaper than the comic strips (which I’d love but totally cannot justify spending money on to the wife).

Comment on Telling the Tail Tale by Matt T

The other question is, even IF the tail did remain, did it lose its celestial nature due to the payment for the wish, and if so, did that nature come back from the other wish, or remain uncelestial since it wasn’t a part of him anymore?
Also, is there a market for celestial horse droppings? I can see that being some funky spell component for a holy fireball or something.

Thank you Thomar. I am forever pointing out to our DM that we want a magic friendly world, but she insists on everything distrusting magic and essentially having it outlawed.

To that extent, my character has gone seriously down the town planner development route, and is currently building a city that will house the game worlds first centre for mage learning in over 5000 years. It’s even going to have a law to allow *any* race a chance at settling peacefully in it.

I love having in character ways of getting around DM rubbish
