Noted as well. But, perhaps this is a clue to the timeline differences required for the development of AI

Pretty sure young Marten is wearing a Smashing Pumpkins shirt there π

well, they were named, but hadn't yet collected enough signatures to qualify for statehood ...

That Periodic Table in the background lets us know that Marten was in ninth grade in 2017 or so. Oganesson and Tennessine weren't named until then. :)

I thought that 5e gave every class healing so that no one would ever have to worship a god ever again?

They can shred face and then you heal you to full now. Its pretty awesome.

5e cleric are no joke btw. They solved the "who is the cleric" conundrum by making them all stars.

Clerics are no joke, you can build 'em to be just a great blend of combat-capable and support. Or you could back in 3.5 and Pathfinder, anyway. I have no idea what they're like these days.

I'm guessing that Clarissa is now a vegan Buddhist living in an ecologically-sustainable yurt.

Clarissa and Bronzebottom from PVP can never meet.

Oh Martin, you dork. Did you get peer-pressured into D&D or did you get peer-pressured into thinking D&D is lame?

I didn't discover D&D until college (1985), but getting drunk at a church college was still more socially acceptable.

In Marten's case, probably, but it goes back further. The shirts were originally made by the Zero skateboard company and popularized when Billy Corgan wore one in the music video for "Bullet with Butterfly Wings" (1995).

Such limited imagination to think only a fighter can use a sword.

Oh Marten just play a rogue/thief and put frogs in Clarissa's pockets or something, be creative about it.

Isn't there an old strip where the gang is role-playing, and Marten is an especially useless Bard? Or has my subconscious been writing fanfic again?

I love _you_ Jeph Jacques and the alternate reality you've created. It's such a wonderful place to escape to during these (or any other) times of stress and uncertainty. Thanks for creating people and AIs with more humanity than we see in the 'real' world humans.

...You know, teen Marten had really good hair.
Patrick Liston
2020-05-13 01:19:43 +0000 UTC
I'm not sure what upsets me worse... The fact that I was basically long-haired Clarissa at that age, or the fact that it was basically guaranteed I would have boinked Marten in a Pumpkin's shirt for certain at that phase in my life.

You can totally be the sword guy as a cleric. 3.5e gave lots of options for that

Totally could have gone War Cleric.
Though Marten would probably be Niche-Indie-Band-Knowledge domain.
