OotS #663 up

[LoneWolf23]

Oh, O-Chul is very much subject to the laws of dramatic convention. But his status as an utter Bad@$$ protects him from random quote-related death tropes.

Simply put, O-Chul isn't the guy who gets killed to show the heroes how serious things are.

O-chul is the guy who makes his last stand holding off the great threat so the heroes can go and save the day.

#666 will be drawn by guest artist, Jack Chick.

No, not Black Leaf!

 

[ProfessorCirno]

No, not Black Leaf!

Yeah, but the only PCs we've seen that would die soon are Belkar and Durkon, and none of those sound similar to Black Le-

Oh god. Black Leaf. Belkar Bitterleaf.

As Elan would say, DUN DUN DUUUUUUNNNNN.

Oh, it's real all right. A lot of people took that guy very seriously back in the eighties; he was one of the great "authorities" on D&D, the satanic game that seduced impressionable teens into black masses, witchcraft, and suicide. He's lost a lot of his street cred since then, but I daresay there are a fair number of folks who still hold his views.

I herd the horro stories...but I thought that was making fun of those people...that is really what they thought???

Every bit of it. There's really no point in parodying folks like Jack Chick. You can't out-crazy them.

Incorrect tense. That is really what they think.

I thought we got past this...

 

[Dausuul]

Well, the craze is long over. Society at large has moved on from thinking D&D players are satanic cultists; now they just think we're loser geeks. (To which my only reply is, Vin Diesel.) For the most part, teenage D&D players don't have to worry about having their books burned any more.

But people like Jack Chick, and the folks who swear by him, don't change their minds.
