I smiled. It's unique so I'll give it an E.

This reminds me a bit of how RPG's often have an "inside a whale" or "shrunk down inside someone's body" level. They always squicked me out, but somehow the ASCII dungeon going all red all of a sudden feels even more ominous. Definite E.

The RSS feed still needs color! :[

Hm, he still could've eaten his way through the ground, maybe there's less flesh on the next level.

Dogley ought to "facepaw".
#8	ajbRad	Sat, 26 Sep 2009 18:43:29
@ NobodySpecial: After the strip was scheduled, I thought of that, unfortunately.

Too bad Dudley didn't pull this stunt later on once he got the amulet. Ripping out with a wand of digging would make for the fastest return trip ever!

Chish: Well, I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but the rss does have a stylesheet info attached; it just doesn't show the colors, at least for me.

I am put in mind of Phantom Defoe Manor.

Well,it reminds me of Final Fantasy 2,it is where the party recruits Richard. I think it is the worst ever version of FnFty,because the 4th character changes too frequently.

Watch out for those crimeras and face monsters Dudley. Last edited: Sun, 17 Jul 2016 23:32:22
