Or a WoW quest, which it looks more likely with the Wargen pc...

It is based on a WoW thing I believe (I don't follow WoW or PA enough to know honestly). Blazej was joking about an Andoran mission where the players were told to free some slaves and his players freed a bunch of slaves but not the right ones for their faction mission and it made me think of this.

It was actually a huge controversy and an ongoing issue between PA and many parties both in and outside of the industry. I'm keeping a close eye on this thread, and if any dickwolves flaming starts from either side of the issue, I'll shut the thread down and remove any offending posts. We don't want that sort of vitriol on these boards.

I hadn't realized. Now that I think about it I guess I can see where it would be controversial. Feel free to lock it now if you want.

Not intending to cause any problems, but is here a chance you could summarize the issues/problems for those of us that are outside of the loop?

Thank you for the link, I read the comic when it came out (and saw it as a rather obvious WOW joke about not rescuing slaves/prisoners..), not bad but not one of their best.

What followed is interresting, but I think the decision not to remove the comic was correct, after all if you look through the archives they make fun of a lot of things (the humur is sometimes rather dark).

That said the current comic is about Pathfinder:

Pretty interesting, still as a player I would argue that the liquids in my body are definitely not unattended, but they are kinda in my possession ^^

A blue dragon can cast create water at will (CL equals its HD). Alternatively, it can destroy an equal amount of liquid in a 10-foot burst. Unattended liquids are instantly reduced to sand. Liquid-based magic items (such as potions) and items in a creature's possession must succeed on a Will save. The save DC is Charisma-based.

Reminds me of WoW. :)

You learn to overlook these things, and other times you're glad the respawn is there if there are 3+ people trying to complete the quest at the same time.

Had no idea of the dickwolves thing, I can't believe how much time people wasted flaming each other. Time that could have been spent gaming. :)

This reminds me of

Way of the Kirin:
Where our Andoren ranger had to sing a song, and the lyrics were something along the lines of:

"Freedom is great and birds are great, faction mission faction mission faction mission!"

Not dickwolves! No more! You'll awaken them!

Even worse, now they're undead dickwolves!

2/5

Wow, most wolves just go for the throat!
*gulp*

Or in PF, I suppose instead of a free trip attempt, these wolves get a free sunder...
*re-gulp*

(Coincidentally enough, I believe Dennis wrote Way of the Kirin, leading us full circle.) (No graphic pun intended.)
