Perhaps we get to see Roy's Grandfather in the afterlife. I think that's the ancestor who originally wielded the family sword.

Great-Grandaddy Greenhilt wielded it first.

But yeah, I'd love to see the family reunion in the Higher Planes.. Especially since it's now obvious Roy's father was the real Black Sheep of the family (turning wizard instead of fighter like his dad and grandad)

You know, maybe I'm in the minority, but I like Roy. I still like heroic, honest characters. Fiction needs more of them.

You're in the minority? Then so am I! Roy is great.

Oh, and my reaction to the strip:

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Well, here's to the minority - Roy is my favorite character. I get more laughs from Belkar and Elan, but I care about Roy. The strip is about Roy. Everything in the strip exists in relation to Roy.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

It would be mine reaction too if I did not think that Roy was the only character that the strip couldn't do without. Any other character might die not get resurrected. But Elan can tell you that Roy has to be, because a story demands the protagonist live to the end of it. Roy can only die at the end of the strip.

It ought to be a feat.

I think the real RBDM thing to do would be have the talisman break when it hit the ground.

I too like Roy, I think he is one of the more well-rounded characters. At least his merits and flaws are a little easier to see.

You're one of those odd minorities with lots of members, all of whom believe they are alone.

I haven't seen anyone who dislikes Roy for being honest, or heroic, or Good and very few who think he is too boring as a straight man. Most people who dislike him do so because he manages to be all those things while also being a rude, self centered, martyr complex riddled drama queen. Some folks dislike him because they like Miko. I manage to dislike them both in only slightly different ways.

I dislike him because he kept slave trading out of the OOtS comic. http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0171.html

and I am disappointed that Roy still has not suffered for ignoring the blacksmith's warning.

Other than those, roy don't seem that bad to me.

How are you still alive?

I'd like to know this as well!!

Not that Roy is not in the picture for a while....
any chance of Julia coming in to bash Xykon to avenge her brother ?
