It’s why I like the Pathfinder changes. Instead of outright destroying items they can ‘break’ and be damaged, taking a mechanical penalty until repaired. Let’s players keep using their favored toy and give them a reason to go get it fixed or even improved with the fixing. The hilt and half-a-flaming-great sword can still be deadly in the hands of the fighter you just made very mad.
Could it be mini HR? The story doesn’t seem like it is going in that direction. Probly gonna flash back to the scheming Gastonian parliamentarians before we find out whats in the hole. Or maybe it is time to catch up on what is happening at Hurricane Software. Maybe we will see what’s in the hole Monday.
NPCs should NOT go down the frayed-reality tunnel. Should that universe just suddenly stop working, so too should the character created in that universe.
Universe-transcendent characters need only apply. So just figure that one out, guys.
UNLESS something cool happens. If a person from one reality creates a character in this one, even without knowing it, who’s to say that a person from this reality can’t make a character in the next one?
Well, bear in mind that no one’s seen the slightest trace of Best since he got dropped down a reality hole way, waaaaaayyyyy back when. Also bear in mind the game in the “real” world is at least partly based on honest to goodness (honest to badness? dishonest to goodness?) black magic. PCs may not necessarily be safer than NPCs.
Good point! I had almost forgotten about that guy.
Although, perhaps Best’s complete disappearance means that maybe he wasn’t a PC to begin with. What if he was an NPC in his own reality? WHAT IF WE ARE ALL NPCs OF OUR OWN REALITY?!
Well, there was the various Jonny Quest cameo appearances on “The Venture Brothers.” Where he’s all grown up, but strung out on drugs.
I don’t think they’re quite canonical to JQ, so you could say they’re fake adventures. =)
Well, the company that owns Venture Bros actually owns Johnny Quest as well, that’s why they were able to use JQ characters and lore references so freely and brazenly. Basically, as far as the IP holders are concerned, VB sorta is canon to JQ.
At the very least, VB is a canon continuity fork of JQ.
Cue time travel arc where someone goes back in time to either cause or prevent the VB timeline from happening, resulting a Terminator-style endless death spiral of mutating timelines.
There originally was a Jonny Quest cartoon on Saturday morning TV, back in the late ’60’s (or was that early ’70’s?) I used to watch. I don’t know anything about the modern “remakes” that go by the name “The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest,” because I haven’t seen any episodes.
Well, yeah.
I mean, people hit all kinds of fantastical monsters with swords. Even rust monsters, but either ionly 1 time, or with a wooden one. Also, gods, torrasque and co.
Alt text went there.
Brings a whole new meaning to “down the rabbit hole.”
“I don’t like it sarge. It’s quiet. Too quiet.”
Yep its quiet, send in Sundar to check it out, he is our most…er…valuable guildy.
Well, Sundar, it was nice knowing you.

I wonder if he can sunder it… what does sunder mean?
In a tabletop games, it’s usually code for “loot-destoyer”
In a normal dictionary, sunder means to split apart.
When you’re GMing, it means you just pissed off one of your PCs by breaking their favorite weapon.

Mwahahahaha! >:]
My guess is that Sundar the Sunderer is going to become Sundar the Sundered.
Or maybe, just the Sun-dried
…Or maybe he’s about to run into where(when)ever Dr. Who landed…
Well that’s not ominous at all
Except instead of a hamster it’s a horrible abomination from outside time and space, which I guess is more like a gerbil.
No Sundar, you are the gerbils.
And then Sundar was a Guinea pig.
That’s clearly the burrow of a giant space hamster. A small one.
So do not slay it, otherwise, a very beloved ranger will come from another medieval fantasy setting and he will be very angry.
You point, I punch!
Minsc and Boo stand ready! *squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak!*
Go for the eyes, Boo! GO FOR THE EYES!! RRRRUUUUSK!!!
These are the Dakota Badlands, right? So HR has really managed to create a portal into our world? Yikes.
I do not think that is the Badlands.
Well they’re lands and they’re kinda bad.
only kinda, not road warrior bad? They don’t sound too bad…
As long as there aren’t Radscorpions.
Dude, I’m not sure the sword’s gonna help.
Naw, it’ll do all right. It’s probably just a giant fluorescent badger.
That is a surprisingly common problem.
Dammit Jim, I’m Sundar the Sunderer not Sundar the Sysadmin!
Well, credit where it’s due, Sundar is a pretty brave guy. He’s got a job to do, and he’s going to do it.
Brave? Or just single-minded (or is that simple-minded?)… nah, just a one-track mind: Persistent Stupid
I know how you feel, Sundar. Thousand Needles is beautiful and the devs should really have just left it alone.
Could it be mini HR? The story doesn’t seem like it is going in that direction. Probly gonna flash back to the scheming Gastonian parliamentarians before we find out whats in the hole. Or maybe it is time to catch up on what is happening at Hurricane Software. Maybe we will see what’s in the hole Monday.
I’m thinking more that it’s a data-transfer point somewhere in the computer system. Sundar is about to ride the magic data bus into a whole new world!
I wonder how that Monica Lewinsky look alike is doing filling Farris’s shoes.
So, Sundar’s last name is ‘Redshirt’?
I rather think that somwhere in his name he is called “Worf”.
O Arkerra thou art sick.
The invisible worm,
That flies in the night
In the howling storm:
Has found out thy bed
Of mmo joy:
And his dark secret love
Does thy life destroy.
+1
We seriously need the real Patrick Stewart reading that in his best Shakespearean voice, STAT!!
Not quite Shakespeare, but I loved his work in I, Claudius. Schemer that he was…
oh.. careful papa bear
Woah, that’s like badlands central.
Yay more Sundar.
There’s a duck in the first panel
Huh. There is indeed.
Yeah… pareidolia or easter egg, I wonder.
Quick! We need duct tape for the duck!

I was kinda reminded of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIuuPTM3nSc
Bit of a nostalgia moment :P.
If that was the “Real Adventures of Jonny Quest”, does that mean there were Fake/False Adventures? o_O

Go for it Sundar. Channel your inner Solid Snake and Big Boss, show life what you can do when it pisses you off
Old value set in a new system? I sense a compiling error approaching.

Tron!
Wait, so has Zundar been adventuring in the virtual multiverse for all these weeks and no one in the a
dventurer’s guild noticed?
To be fair. He hasn’t noticed.
Is that thing eateing it’s way through solid rock? And Sundar’s going to hit it with a sword?
Well, yeah.
I mean, people hit all kinds of fantastical monsters with swords. Even rust monsters, but either ionly 1 time, or with a wooden one. Also, gods, torrasque and co.
Well he certainly isn’t going to punch it. That would be silly.
Beware of the Green Monster
It a portal to the Digital world!
