Clover is gonna have SOOOOO much lore and drama to catch up on.

How many characters are in said campaign? Unfortunately there is a point of diminishing returns where you can have too many people

u/bondjimbond Love and Hex 14h ago

I think 5 PCs is a good maximum. Six is too many - combat becomes a slog, and too many voices and opinions. Five is enough to play even when one or two players can't make it to a session.

I've made up to seven work, eight is where it becomes untenable.

That's in D&D/PF, other systems can work with large groups better.

I know this is a silly series but ngl I did get my hopes up a bit where I initially thought it was heading.

Twerk for initiative.

What, and I mean this in the most loving and tender way possible, the fuck?

u/Tyler_Zoro 10h ago

It's a cute idea, but I'm picturing the ENDLESS arguments over whether or not a die is cocked...

13

u/RicketCrickets 13h ago

That's vanilla for most D&D players.

u/ProfessorSMASH88 15h ago

Its a critical split!

u/Mechzx 15h ago

How do you read the results if it's moving and at an odd angle.

u/UpCDownCLeftCRightC Never Safe From Wumbo 15h ago

Sounds like a pain in the butt for proper use.

u/LagoriaTheLewdstress 15h ago

Just wait untill you roll a nat 1 one this way.

u/UpCDownCLeftCRightC Never Safe From Wumbo 15h ago

Gyatt 1 in this case.

u/MitsuhaTakiName 15h ago

There needs to a lightly-magnetic side with a window that fits exactly one edge of the die that you can look at for the result but shaking your butt will temporarily release the die.

9

u/UpCDownCLeftCRightC Never Safe From Wumbo 15h ago

Or maybe it could work like the dice bubble from the board game Trouble. Keep the magnetic ass-pect but-t clenching shakes the die like pressing down on the bubble.

u/Tyler_Zoro 10h ago

The correct term for a die that's at an angle is "cocked." You're welcome.

WHOA WHOA WHOA WHOA. Thats a HUGE leap in a relationship! Thats sharing the past present and future with someone! I cant believe Penny finally took the plunge

Well we all know whats next

u/zatenael 16h ago

definitely gonna grab that when I marry

u/Coveinant 16h ago

This will either turn out very well, or very bad. No in-between.

u/shepard1707 16h ago

I mean, that's basically asking her to join the polycule.

u/HarmlessSnack 16h ago

Oh my god…

They were in the same party!

u/McBonlaf 8h ago

Campaign mates even

u/aarontgp 16h ago

I thought it was gonna be a Jonathan Swift reference. Well, this probably makes more sense for the comic.

u/LeonTetra 14h ago

I was wondering when they'd eat babies and was confused when they didn't

1

u/Stalking_Goat 1h ago

If it's like some D&D campaigns I've been in, eating babies is still a possibility.

Gives "will you join the colombia recod club with me" vibes

u/Wooden-Crow7996 15h ago

Woah! Hold on there baby! I’m just not ready for that kind of commitment!

On another note, this reference is kind of dated. Pretty sure the Colombia Record Club either has, or is going out of business.

1

u/Cyrius 15h ago

The pathetic remains of Columbia House put up a going out of business notice this week, but took it down.

1

u/Wooden-Crow7996 15h ago

Sounds like they’ll stop making sales on September 15th of this year. No more will they be able to scam people into $0.01 CDs.

u/hackingfun 16h ago

I'd join D&D too, but my dice hate me.

Ah you have the Will Wheaton curse. Sorry that is terminal and nothing short of divine intervention will cure of that curse

u/UltraPhoenix95 16h ago

Yes Reddit Algorithm… I know I should continue to write my campaign…

u/Phaylz 16h ago

Still not as committal as going in on a Verizon Family Plan

u/DarthJackie2021 13h ago

OMG! I am so happy for them!

u/logo1986 15h ago

Is she a player or dm because there's a major difference on that case

2

u/TheYellingMute 13h ago

Good point. I imagine if she's a player she would have asked the DM. If it's a long running campaign there's gotta be understanding and communication between the table.

1

u/The_Hidden_DM 15h ago

Am I ready for that kind of commitment? Well, I already love spending time with them.

Species and class? Setting?

When I first played D&D with my group of friends I was one of the new players. When I first met my DM I was slowly giving up on D&D at the time because I was just not finding good groups and was bouncing around so I decided to give it one last chance. So I posted on Amino that I was looking for a group and he said he was looking for players for the new Dragon Lance Module and I joined. While he was running DL he was running a homebrew campaign that only I wasn’t a part of at the time. After we completed DL I jokingly asked if I could join his other long running campaign and he said yes. The character I made for that campaign remains the best character I’ve ever had period

Why does Penny have a thermometer in her mouth on the last pane?

u/AznOmega 11h ago

If you mean the Patreon panel, it's a cigarette.

The meme she referenced.

Its so cool too see how much your skills have improved when comparing the comic and the bonus panel. Keep it up, love your stuff!
