But Hogwarts has plenty of opportunities for Fun, there's the tree that will kill you, and the snake that'll kill you, and  a giant three headed dog that will kill you, and a giant spider that will kill you...


Oh, you meant the other type of fun.

Don't forget that it has a large dangerous woods filled with monsters that you have to travel in if your in detention. At first I thought they were joking or monsters were a rare occurance... Nope apperantly at anytime one of the detentionairs could have gotten gobbled up.

Quidditch is fun and Fun, since you're flying around supported by broomstick, Dozens of feet into the air, while heavy magical balls randomly fly at players.

Which once again, I originally thought there was a magic safety net of some sort or a special group of safety wizards. Something to prevent the players from hitting the floor and dying. NOPE! Harry BARELY survived falling from a great height.

Yeah, they seem to be perfectly content to just use Cleric's Feather Fall, even though they are wizards and apparently have a slow-fall charm that they use on the Quaffle.

Not to mention the bludgers. They both fly towards players and are hit by players with clubs towards other players.

I'm surprised 11-year-olds are allowed to play the game, for heaven's sake. It kind of contradicts the whole ideology of wizard blood being precious. It'd make more sense if only, say, people above the age of 70 could play. That way you wouldn't be thinning out the gene pool - You'd just be having a good old, evil fun time!

I mean, who doesn't want to watch a whole bunch of old people fly around on broomsticks at high speeds and altitudes in extremely dangerous conditions?

[Descan]

I thought that was handwaved as wizards being more durable than muggles?


... Maybe that's only HP:MOR. >_> I'm getting my canons mixed up.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I almost spelled it cannon. That'd be hilarious.

The expression in the last panel is simply priceless.

Maybe that's the reason why wizards are so rare: lots of wizard kids keep getting killed off by Quidditch, and they don't have the sense to mitigate it in any way.

As for the most recent comic, I'm pretty sure no good can come from having a free, unlimited money generator in a game.

Short-term, infinite gold seem all good and dandy.
Long-term, infinite gold might not be a good thing for the economy.

I bet the DM is sadistic enough to inflate shops & service prices depending on how much gold the players have.

[Neonivek]

YEAH Finally at comic 50, that means I can finally start reading the series!

[monk12]

I lol'd pretty hard.

[Neonivek]

After reading all 50 in one sitting I realised something.

This seems to take place in some sort of weird freeky universal system that combines everything into one. I already notice Dungeons and dragons, Call of Cthluhu (the good one), and possibly Shadowrun

Also WOW did Harry Potter's sanity start low if he already is getting halucination effects after one popscare.

Actually you see Dungeons and Dragons unlike most systems in existance has a universal constant that sets the prices of several objects. That being Magic.

Want to make a +1 sword? well you will need 1000 gold worth of materials.

Better yet even if you say "Well you can't possibly use 1000 peices of gold to make a sword" the system has you covered there to with the ability to transmute gold into more valuable objects.

So in essence the only thing of value would be the labour to create those items and EXP (but the system ALREADY ignores the EXP required to create most objects for NPCs as it is. Yeah Dungeons and Dragons doesn't make any sense onto itself and a lot of the plotholes have to be explained away by the DM... such as "why isn't every PC a level-1 commoner multiclass?").

This would mean people would have unlimited charges of any spell. Food and water... HECK Hero's Feast.

So it isn't like our economy where printing an infinite amount of useless stuff would bring doom on us all. This is Dungeons and dragons and gold has an infinite number of uses.

In my opinion, even if I do like playing D&D oonce in a while, it is a rather.. strange way they handle things.
And the exp loss for creating something? I mean, experience is something you gain by experiencing something (rebundancy department strikes again!), so you suddenly loose parts of your memory just to create something? 

[Neonivek]

The exp lost is supposed to represent the bit of your soul or power you need to remove in order to create the object. Also yes losing part of your memory and experience is a acceptible interpretation of that rule. There are a few rules where the interpretation of "why does it work that way?" is left open.

Pathfinder (Dungeons and dragons 3.75 so to speak) interestingly enough entirely eliminates that rule. Which frankly makes sense given that any high level dungeon has soo many magical traps and creatures that the Wizard probably lost several levels just to make it.

Though yes Dungeons and dragons has several interesting odd ways they handle things. Heck for some of the rules there actually is no clear cut ruling given in the book (any of the Image/illusion series)
