Konsi did once break the plot of an adventure wide open by having the right detection magic running, for entirely unrelated reasons. Just realized the plot-twist 10 sessions early...

Oh yes, although with roleplaying setting metaphysics, it's probably good to define this to be true if you're using it in your game. (To make sure it interacts with the rules correctly and has the right keywords etc etc.)

For example if you cast "detect poison" do you detect bottles of alcohol, or a hidden wine cellar, etc etc. If your DM has never considered whether or not alcohol is a poison it probably wouldn't occur to them to mention it, but if they have then they might!

While I have not drawn a comic of it, I can say that Konsi would have previously provided Razira permission to pick her up, for any reason whatsoever. (Also she's secretly enjoying herself here.)

Ah, I've been super busy with planning a wedding! The Konsi is continuing though, just slooow...

I also recently transferred all my notes from my 10 year old, completely full, notebook to a new one, and... I think I might have enough plans for about 100 Konsi comics... (There are 11 plotlines I have ideas for.) Here's a picture of what my new ideas notebook looks like.

This part of the notebook is for generic comic ideas - the ones I draw in the in-between weeks, so there's no worry of plot spoilers in this image. My notebook is a constant companion, and ideas for jokes go into it whenever they come to me. Some are fully formed and ready to go, some are half-formed and need workshopping before I could make a comic out of them. Some of them are probably so bad I'll never use them, but sometimes seeing the note at a later date inspires a new idea.

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.

The previous comic (not a DnD comic.... although technically I did draw a Konsi in it hm.) was comic 1000, so I took my time over it.

Well if you're looking at my comic you might know why I took my time over the last one. We're back to normal service now.

Normal service includes a complimentary Konsi.

it's based on the Blahaj, I tried to get the expression as close as possible. :)

Konsi is exactly the kind of person to misinterpret her instructions, mess up, and avoid the bullet.

You know you always get a bonus Konsi by now.

One thing we often do is we gate the ability to roll on a check through whether or not the skill is trained - for example in our games with lockpicking, you can only attempt to pick a lock if you have proficiency.

This prevents the situation where the character with years of training and practice in a specific niche skill beefs it, but someone with no idea what they're doing then tries and succeeds - we say some things are only possible to try if you know how.

Don't apply this house rule to everything, but it's worth considering, especially in games where your party can casually drop a +10 or a +15 onto any skill check through the right magic to force a success anyway.

When making ttrpg characters to play, it's very easy to just make your character "you" if you don't think about it or plan anything - you'll naturally revert to how you approach situations without conscious effort - however that means after a while your characters all start to feel the same.

If you want something that feels unique or different to your previous characters, the easiest way is to take some aspect of your personality and greatly over-exaggerate it, and build the character around that - This way you're still using some of your natural reactions and inclinations, so it's much easier of a role to inhabit than someone who's wholly different to you.

I really should add a couple of new T-shirt designs, it's been a while, maybe I'll make a Konsi shirt to celebrate comic 1000 :D

I did once have a patreon, but it lapsed - literally nobody signed up for it in over a decade. These days, I'd feel a little bad having a regular payment, considering how little content I actually produce.

I don't need any financial support to keep doing this, I'm lucky enough to not need financial support, and I draw to relax. The absolute best way to "support the comic" is to introduce more people to it, especially on bluesky. https://linktr.ee/ahdok for the social media streams I use.

If you really really want to put financial support towards me, there is a paypal link on the comic site, and also a few t-shirts at the "shop" link at the top - but again, I want to stress that the comic is not dependent on donations in any way.

Bonus Konsi?

Konsi did have a necklace of fireballs for a while. She's used one of them, but eventually passed it off to Toron, since she has access to AOE magic anyway.

this is what the gauntlets of ogre power are for.
