I discussed whether or not this was acceptable content with the moderators and creators of this community before I started, and they’re supportive of artists posting their RPG comics here, it’s a part of the community. The community description even reflects this.

Refering to the comics from multiple creators here, not just me: These comic series do spawn actual memes often enough to be a good source of new funnies, but because they’re ongoing stories, it helps for people to be able to follow along.

If you don’t like this, you have a simple remedy available: You can just block me and never see another one again. You don’t have to be mean to random people on the internet.

I double post to the Fediverse! (you can see the mastodon address watermarked on the comics, and my non-ttrpg comics go there too.)

While Fediverse platforms are a relatively small part of my audience, I’m always skeptical that other platforms can last through poor moderation policies, whereas federated platforms will exist so long as people are enthusiastic to keep them running…

Bonus Konsi drank a little bit too much this time.

A fun thing people often forget about Mage Armor is that you can cast it on other people, which is occasionally even helpful!

While Mystery doesn’t have counterspell, Faelys does, and we own a hat of disguise.

You’d probably be able to do that and win the match, but, well, there’s a few problems…

First of all, Addis is a Tymoran priestess with level 5 spells, so she’d be pretty difficult to take down quickly unless you were serious adventurers. Chances of pulling it off without a hitch are non-zero. We don’t know for sure what is and is not on Addis’ spell list, but if we imagine it’s similar to Konsi’s list well… Konsi always has Dimension Door prepared, grabbing her would be very difficult.

Secondly, this is Konsi’s boss, you might win the match by default, but the repercussions within the temple would be much worse.

Third, Konsi would never approve of kidnapping anyone who wasn’t evil… She’s too much of a good bean.

Probably the biggest problem is that the entire point of this match is to have Konsi play a high-stakes poker match under scrutiny, to prove that she legitimately has skill at the game, and doesn’t cheat. They’re staging this whole thing to head off accusations of foul play… Kidnapping your opponent and winning by default doesn’t exactly solve the problem!

OotS has SO much text per strip, I could really do a lot with that kind of real estate.

Exposition’s really difficult in comic format. People don’t really want to read a full page of text when they’re reading comics, so you got to find some ways to at least give it some visual flair…

Bonus Konsi, as usual

Since some people’s clients can’t properly display tall images, here’s the comic split in two for readability.

If that is ALSO not helpful to you, I recommend looking at it on my site

The second picture of Konsi I ever drew :)

Here’s a Bonus Konsi I drew during Pride Month.

Sorry it’s been so long, I’ve been rather busy and have had less time to draw (I’m planning/prepping a wedding.) - I hope to get back on the wagon again though.

Anyway, here’s a bonus Konsi.

You know you always get a bonus Konsi by now.

This is often cited as the most powerful card ever printed.

Very few cards are strong enough that they form part of a first-turn-kill, with the vast majority of decks, it’s not remotely possible to get enough mana to play the kinds of cards that would end the game before your opponent can even do anything. Black Lotus gives you three mana, without having to play a land. If you’re trying to build a hyper-broken combination, it’s much easier to do if you have a black lotus.

Even outside of hyper-broken combinations, black lotus contributes heavily towards mana ramp, a mechanic that a large number of decks rely on to get going.

MtG has a lot of extremely powerful cards, but most of those are still somewhat situational. Black Lotus is a card you could add to almost any deck and improve that deck. It’s so universally broken that it’s impossible to build a deck that can’t be improved with a black lotus… unless that deck already has four black lotuses.

As for it’s value… they printed 500 of them. Total. The cost you’d pay for a black lotus is “highest bid at auction” - they don’t really have a list price, because it’s determined entirely by “is there one for sale right now?”

Aw man, imagine using technology to reduce the amount of time people had to spend working, rather than making rich people more money… what a crazy world.
