Blackmantha's post was too amazing an idea to pass up. So here goes a tongue-in-cheek recreation of your favourite webcomic: Gunnergeons and Kriggons.Or something.   It's my intention to eventually do the whole comic, say a few pages per chapter. All art etc belongs to Tom Siddell obviously and is used only for the purposes of parody etc. Suggestions, advice, participation, criticism welcome! |

Oh, wow, that's really nicely done. I'm really looking forward what else you can do with it.
Where did you get the picture of Annie in that dress? Did you just make it?
And the Luftterrasque ;D. The only CR 21 creature that can be defeated by a strong breeze.

Thanks! Nope, the picture was from one of Tom's sketches, I just messed around with the colour.  |

I know little to nothing about D&D, but as I've just started reading Goblins and OotS I actually get some of these jokes. Plus it's about GKC, so I guess what I'm trying to say is... I love it!

Remember that in Goblins and OOtS, the *players* never officially appear in the comic. (Although there are some places in both where the fourth wall has some gaping holes in it.) The entire comic occurs in-game, even when the characters demonstrate awareness that they are characters in an RPG universe. But in THIS glorious abomination, the players are very, very much present. In fact, so far we haven't heard from the characters at all. |

This seems to follow (so far) the format of DM of the Rings and Darths & Droids, where the text is all out-of-game dialogue between the DM and the players, with the former represented as narrative boxes and the latter as speech balloons attached to the in-game characters. |

Yeah it is some sort of awesome combo of Darths and droids and DM of the rings.
But turned into an abridged series of gunnerkrigg.

I've DM'd for my group a few times. You're going to need a lot more facepalm panels.

Heh, the one playing Annie has a very similar style to Jim in Darths and Droids ;D
Where does the lufttarrasque come from? I'm pretty sure I've seen it before, but I can't remember where...

Where does the lufttarrasque come from? I'm pretty sure I've seen it before, but I can't remember where... Research Fairy to the rescue. *Ahem* Legend reported among others by the Golden Legend has it that the creature inhabited the area of Nerluc in Provence, France, and devastated the landscape far and wide. The Tarasque was a sort of dragon with six short legs like a bear's, an ox-like body covered with a turtle shell, and a scaly tail that ended in a scorpion's sting. It had a lion's head. The Tarasque was said to have come from Galatia which was the home of the legendary Onachus, a scaly, bison-like beast which burned everything it touched. Some speculate that the story of the Onachus may be related to either that of the Unicorn or the Phoenix. The Tarasque was the offspring of the Onachus and the Leviathan of biblical account; disputably a giant sea serpent. The king of Nerluc had attacked the Tarasque with knights and catapults to no avail. But Saint Martha found the beast and charmed it with hymns and prayers, and led back the tamed Tarasque to the city. The people, terrified by the monster, attacked it when it drew nigh. The monster offered no resistance and died there. Martha then preached to the people and converted many of them to Christianity. Sorry for what they had done to the tamed monster, the newly-Christianized townspeople changed the town's name to Tarascon. A carved early Gothic column capital at the Church of St. Trophime in Arles, 14th century, depicting the Tarasque; it is one of several carvings here that show legends of local folklore as well as biblical figures The story of the Tarasque is also very similar to the story of Beauty and the Beast and King Kong. The monster is charmed and weakened by a woman and then killed when brought back to civilization. A similar idea is found in the myths of Enkidu and the unicorn: both are calmed by sending them a woman. The description and legend of this creature is curiously similar to other dragons of French folklore such as Gargouille and Peluda. There you have it, courtesy of the drones at Wikipedia. I would assume that "luft" denotes a Tarasque that can fly, in this case with the aid of a... balloon. |

Shouldn't the DM say "Haha! What?" instead of just "what"?

I'm not sure, I just found the picture of a Tarrasque attached to a hot air balloon in one of my image folders. Research Fairy to the rescue. [...] Interesting. I'd just always assumed the Tarrasque was a purely D&D innovation. Shouldn't the DM say "Haha! What?" instead of just "what"? (Warning: TVTropes) Although Kat(hy) might have said it... |
