I love third-panel-Gabriel. Posture, hand and face are all spot on.

RonTheDM

Tycho really loves handjobs.

Ferrus

Having fun during a D&D session? Preposterous!

Peter Ebel

I would not go in a hand job cave.

Who doesn't?

I really enjoy more and more table top games being involved in the comics lately.

This one especially.

Romanian My Escutcheon

Why would you need a tomb for Jet Skis and handjobs?

Those seem like they would be wasted in a tomb; really, it's an inexcusable waste of valuable resources.

Orikaeshigitae

mike's art is really improving, his gesture and hand anatomy is leagues above where it was this time last year

should i put the difference down to mike's constant self-improvemen or to kurtz's good-natured critique of PATV fame?

both, i think

no, no. it's not the handjobs which are entombed.

it's the recipients.

they're that good.

Like what if the handjob isn't any good

and then you can't remember the way out

Ferrus

I imagine a high stamina is pretty important in the Tomb of Handjobs.

Could be Emperor Qin's tomb. It would be an interesting room, really.
Hell, it could be the Tomb of Horrors as well. He had the manpower.

superluser

re the Tomb of Horrors, the best comment I've ever heard was Rob read that again, as in:

Rob: The mithril doors set on the southern end of room 28 are 14-feet wide and 28-feet tall (and 3-feet thick).
Dwayne: Rob Read that Again!

Cosmic Sombrero

Tired of these goddamn spooky handjobs in this haunted forest.

SabreMau

It seems more like the third panel's third speech bubble should be from Gabe.

I don't know if you could necessarily classify a fatal handjob as a desirable product, especially considering the end result.

The Tomb of Horrors is like a Saw contraption. The only person that can derive any sort of enjoyment out of such a thing is the person running it.

Stories like that (and this whole thread) are the main reason I became interested in tabletop gaming

Not sure my guys like the tomb of horrors. I think the old school sensibilities are frustrating for players used to other 4e material.

When they say "I reach for the lever." they don't want to hear "with which hand?"

That is gold.

Pure fucking gold, keep 'em on their toes.

Bulwark

Man that other tomb is fucking hard to find.

Also, this is still my favorite tabletop RPG story:

redstormpopcorn wrote: »

Our party was camping overnight, on the road. Our rogue wakes the rest of us up to the sight of an eleven-foot-tall water elemental heading for our campfire. We let it smother the fire and evaporate to about 6 feet. This gives our cleric an idea; we take our remaining firewood and any twigs we can find & build another fire. I (the fighter) slap enough out of the elemental between the initial fire's destruction and the time the new fire gets going to reduce it by another foot and quite a few HP. I back off, allow it to drown out the new fire, and reduce itself to about two feet. By this point, it's pretty pissed off at us for making so many goddamn fires. It turns its attention towards the cleric. She throws her bedroll onto the elemental. One bizarre Bounty ad later, we have ourselves a water elemental trapped in a sleeping bag.

Two weeks later, we're in a wintry valley forest. We camp out for the night, and when we wake up the next day, the forest is on fire. Apparently our nemesis has mind-controlled a small village of azers, who have torched everything around us. After dispatching a few flaming dwarves, we're rewarded with one of their kilts. It, like most attire of discerning azers, has a natural resistance to fire. Our fight has concluded, but the fact that we are still in a forest that is on fire comes to the forefront of the party's attention. Where others see burning timber, I see opportunity. I grab the elemental-filled bedroll, wring it out onto the kilt, and have our cleric cast Create Water on it several times. The result was a well-dressed, hulking H2O monstrosity hell-bent on fighting fire.

We made a hasty escape from the area, breached the villain's tower, killed him (which rather angered our DM, since he wasn't supposed to die until near the end of the campaign), stuffed half of his body into a Heward's Handy Haversack (like a bag of holding, but in backpack form) with his legs sticking out, high-tailed it through the ebony spire that was crashing down around us, and looted his corpse when we reached the bottom.

I really like how Gabe draws hands now

I like them much better than banana hands

ukiyo e

Tycho's face in panel two, please report to the edits thread immediately.

I was always a Temple guy myself:

Hunter

I have a sword of +3 fun on jet-skis after being the recipient of a handjob, so my half-elf ranger/monk/barbarian/alchemist/ninja/pimp hybrid is set.

Tried to play



Once but couldn't get past describing the purple veiny obelisk writhing with veiny goodness and pulsing with dark power.


Also I might have said 'There are chunks of incest on the table' instead of 'chunks of incense.' It went downhill from there.

DMAC

Our group has been playing through the 4e remake of the original Tomb of Horrors (which is what it sounds like Gabe is running too). There's definitely a feeling of accomplishment when the entry hall alone has a dozen ways of killing you.

After you're all done, do you go spend your gold in the Little Shop of Horrors?

Ditto. It coincides with my own interest and I'm about the same as and GnT.

I always figured it was more of a reminder that they're in a dangerous occupation.

I mean, if I were designing a dungeon to house something I didn't want people fucking with, it would be designed to murder the face of those who entered it. I mean, that's the whole point of the traps and everything.

Now I am thinking about...

Campbell's Chunky Incest Soup With Noodles in a White Creamy 'Sauce'
Incest Scented Incense

How to craft Chunky Incest.
Ingredients:
3 immoral, drunk and overweight family members. 1 Best of Barry White CD. 1 axe murderer.

Procedure:
Bring family members into a cozy, dimly lit room with the smooth sounds of Barry White wafting through the air.
Let simmer for 10 minutes. Mix in axe murderer. Wait for axe murderer to leave and collect the pieces into your satchel.

edit: I really enjoyed this comic and so far I've been enjoying this thread too.

I wish I was a millionaire so I could afford to play DnD.

Abracadaniel

by millionaire you mean at most $40?

To play all you absolutely need is the PHB
