I realize “The Gray Luchador” is supposed to be about aging, but I first thought it was a euphemism for Death, and suddenly I just need to see the Grim Reaper doing a Hurricanrana.
All of this adds quite the brutally realistic touch to my perspective on adventuring (and I’m used to the average RPG’s take on it). Sure, not having to grow old (or bored) and being able to heal and rest super fast in a world where apparently no one else does is good for game mechanics. But if it were real life? Growing old, fighting the stat loss year by year, trying to finally scrape together something but being unable ’cause you’ve always travelled so light. Woa, adventuring would have been a seriously tough profession.
Depends on your skill-set. Wrestling, tracking, cooking, and archery = a rich and food filled life.
If you devoted yourself to just combat, well I’m amazed if you even knew how to use a fork and knife!
Learn to feed yourself, Then! bash peoples skulls in!
Gotta consider that game is prohibited inside the king’s lands, I guess the same goes to Gastonia.
By game I mean hunting for subsistence. You have to get royal permission for that a patch of land.
I’m not sure. There are the five in the tubes. But presumably, other characters are the avatars of normal people sitting at their computers somewhere. Are the other adventures PCs or NPCs?
Oh no, Merl’s getting friendzoned or maybe even colleaguezoned. Once the adrenaline fuelled excitement of being trapped underground died down so did Rachel’s passion for the pointy eared hobbo-trickster.

I’m surprised they have luchadors in a medieval faux European steampunk fantasy kingdom.
Which makes me wonder where the gnolls got it from.
Arcane meme resonance, obviously.
That’s also why people on Zoakk know the word Kitteh, even without cats.
ESTE SABADO – EL LUCHADOR GRIS CONTRA LOS AVENTUROS!
ยก Hombre, que bueno sera !
Rachel’s gonna drop the “It’s not me, it’s that you’re not manly enough for my religion” bomb…
Oh, aging! I thought it was the tax-man. Beards being wallets in this figure of speech. Aging makes much more sense.

five will get you ten that Rachel will drop the “i’m pregnant with your baby!” bomb shell.
That was my first thought on seeing that pose.
On the other hand, this is an MMO, and so pregnancy wouldn’t actually be a consideration.
On the gripping hand, I’ve known more than one ardent role-playing couple to play out a pregnancy plotline.
the mmo now has a life of it’s own. no limits now.

PCs, I guess. HR once said something along the lines of “it’s fascinating how deeply they interact with normal players”.
I’ve been assuming that the nun’s habit is supposed to imply a commitment to celibacy, which would explain why Rachel is upset.
Not all Nunery Orders are celibate, and considering Rachel is a follower of (an extremely reluctant) Frigg…
“Not all Nunery Orders are celibate”
Oh ? Which ones aren’t celibate, pray tell ? I’m just curious.
Any one that would dedicate itself to Frigg, for starters.
Well, maybe Rachel heard about the reputation of the Roguish types, and decided she wasn’t ready for that kind of intimacy yet.
Oh come on Guilded Age… Please, please don’t do this to me. My heartstrings don’t need the sorrow of forbidden love.
Wait, you thought a near-death snog was based on for-reals-feels? O_o
Obviously you sir need more near death experiences!
Looks like Bandit got the hang of things here.
Your gravatar makes it look like you’re disgusted by your own pun.
Oh no, Merl’s getting friendzoned or maybe even colleaguezoned. Once the adrenaline fuelled excitement of being trapped underground died down so did Rachel’s passion for the pointy eared hobbo-trickster.
“Or, you know, you could get a REAL job!”
Never would have thought Bandit to be the inverted one in the group.
Second to last panel is priceless.
Bandit is an admiral on the side? I woulda never guessed. :)
Stay right there, Bandit. There’s something from a scene in Spiderman that I want to try.
Pregnant Nun Fetish Inbound.
Been reading Sister Claire?
I used to like that… until I discovered the creator was a Neo-Progressive and using the comic as a medium to peddle their SJW ways.
E-Merle’s last ditch effort to keep Rachel: dye his hair red and punch things.
Seriously, could Bandit get anymore like-able?
