When the day is drawing to a close and you still have all your spells, you gotta find things to use them on.
Every party needs someone whose job is to say "Enough worry, it's time to party."
Nothing in the rules that says contacting "a deity" means it has to be YOUR deity...
"Media interest" is a much higher risk than any level-appropriate encounter.
House rule: If it's in the expanded rules, NPCs don't have access to the spell.
"They said my power was petrifying gays, but it works on straight people fine?"
Look, if you ask an NPC to solve the plot for you, you're going to get bad solutions.
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.
I suppose you can have a bonus Konsi.
It's not particularly funny, other than as an extension of the current context. I needed to establish this as setup for the conversation I want the characters to have in the next strip.
Ongoing story be rough sometimes.
It's actually a mimic disguised as a trouser press.
