You feel foolish!

Can't believe no one thought of this earlier... but then great ideas usually make you think that. Love the unicorns as knights, too.

Absolutely beautiful.

Love it. A brilliant idea.

Next up? Archon? For those of you on my lawn with no clue what I'm talking about: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/index.html?curid=201171

But white unicorns are lawful, and Green-elves are chaotic. (By the same token, titans are typically lawful, as opposed to the chaotic black unicorns, though that may very well apply to the demon prince/lord as well. Of course, those purple H's might be Lord Surturs...but he's also lawful. Also, that better not be an Elvenking.) Aw, heck. It's a funny comic. Last edited: Fri, 17 Jul 2009 15:25:14

minmay: the two armies are sorted by color, not by alignment. Yes, you may call it a color joke. The & is Death (dangerous, female). The purple @ is Wizzy. My idea was that Dudley had actually a much weaker army.

Rated Poor. Just another comic that depends on knowing some obscure game. Kidding!

You begin praying to Tyr. --more-- The voice of Tyr rings out, "Thou must relearn thy lessons!"

Oh gee, that's a really terrible opening move ... but point has been made.
