Oh... Oh my...

[Xantalos]

Damn ninjas.

Seems the game's been going on a tad longer than we thought. Explains the mostly flippant attitude towards it the gods have.

[Madman198237]

...well then.

[TD1]

Ye gods.


Ye very, very naughty gods.

[smjjames]

Talk about multiverses, like every DnD world created and played and completed, and we're just seeing a fraction of all of them.

Theres gotta be millions or even billions of them, meaning that they've been going at it for eons. Also gives a sense of futility, as if it's inevitable that the Snarl will destroy the world.

Doesn't explain the apparent planet inside the Snarl, maybe it's the embryo of the next world? Given the cycle of creation and destruction, it makes some sense for the seed of the next universe to be inside the Snarl.

So is the implication that every time people play a game of DnD and then finish it, once the players are no longer involved, the Snarl destroys it?  Or would that be too "meta" for Rich's tastes?

[smjjames]

No idea what would be too meta for Rich, and he went pretty meta in the previous page.

Last I checked there may have been a few who made a similar meta observation on the GitP forum, but it's not a major line of discussion.

[Egan_BW]

Reminded me of this, a little.

...Except the OotS version manages to be infinitely more grimdark than the Goblins version. Wasn't expecting that, really.

[NRDL]

You'd think the gods would try some new gravestone designs after the eleventy billionth time.

[smjjames]

I'd chalk it up to Rich Burlew not wanting to do eleventy billion unique designs.

I'd get why the first and maybe second one were blank (the first one lasted four minutes, for one), but why have the rest of them blank?

[Mephansteras]

Clearly the gods still have a lot of learning to do.

[Dorsidwarf]

Thats..... horrifying.

Theres a layering error in panel 7 too though.

edit: This actually raises an interesting point... the gods can beat the snarl, and handily at that. They... might not be afraid of it on a personal level like we've been told. They've clearly beaten it millions and millions if not billions of times, and I doubt there were millions of pantheons to be killed like the greeks Eastern. They're just afraid for the mortals and the safety of their souls.
This probbably has some serious implications for Redcloak and the Dark One's plans.

[Arcvasti]

They can only cage the Snarl because it's mentally incapable of recognizing the fact that it's being trapped and because they have all these threads lying around on the Material Plane. Even then, they can only do that since they're safe from the Snarl on the Outer Planes. The Dark One's plan would let the Snarl loose on the Outer Planes, which would remove those advantages.

[smjjames]

Theres been a couple of people on the GitP forum speculating that either the Dark One is unwittingly being a proxy of the Snarl or perhaps the Dark One IS the Snarl. I haven't looked at how long that speculation has been going on, but several people are talking about that on the thread for that specific comic.
