I'm about to walk out the door and go to my favorite con in the world, VCON. For those of you who'll be joining me this weekend, I'll have a table in the dealer's room and I'm scheduled for all sorts of panels, so come and say hi! Due to my absence, I won't be able to update the comic in the conventional sense. I will of course, be updating on Friday and Tuesday as always, but I'll be posting character backgrounds on October 1st and 5th. After that, we return to the current Goblins storyline. I hope you enjoy these backgrounds, which offer new insight into the story with previously unrevealed details. As for Tempts Fate, I'm taking that with me to the convention, but I won't have much time to work on it. I promise to have that up as soon as I can. The final door is something I'm pretty proud of, but it's taking me even longer to draw than the zombie door did. As always, thanks for reading and I'll be back late on October 4th! ~Thunt

For those of you who are a little confused as to why Minmax is giving Kin a birthday, it's because of this page. As always, thanks for reading. ~Thunt

Hey Dungeon Masters and Game Masters, has your gaming session been going on for too long? Are you exhausted and want to stop, but your players are still going strong? May I suggest, the Chair of "Adventure". The Chair of "Adventure" can be found anywhere at any time. It can be encountered in a dungeon hallway, a forest clearing or even a crowded tavern. No one knows where it comes from or why it exists. The chair appears to be simple, wooden and unpainted. Any character who attempts to move the chair will immediately take a 50% hit point loss. Attempting to pass the chair by walking within thirty feet of it will result in that character's legs liquefying instantly. Pointing at the chair will cause that character's finger to explode with enough force to disintegrate most of the arm as well as causing damage to anyone standing close enough. Saying the word "chair" will result in the character's lower jaw transforming into a gate to Hell and sucking his head into the fiery abyss followed by a 25% per ten minutes that a small demon will crawl forth through the newly created Hell-gate. Turning one's back on the chair will immediately summon fifteen feet of barbed wired into that character's lower intestines. Backing away from the chair will cause the ground below that character to turn into a gelatinous cube. Any character who attacks the chair in any manner will instantly turn into pure sound. The force of the sound wave will explode the eardrums of anyone within two hundred feet. Looking at the chair will give you the stomach flu. Sitting in the chair will transform the chair itself into a black hole that will suck in the characters, the landscape, the planet, light and time and squish it all into a quantum singularity. The Chair of "Adventure" has multidimensional capabilities. For instance... Any player in your game that says the phrase "saving throw" must give the DM three of his favourite dice. Any player that raises one or more eyebrows during the encounter with the chair will owe the DM five dollars per eyebrow. Double this amount if the player's mouth is open at this time. If a player has been stacking dice at any time during that game session, he must give the DM seven cents. If he does not have seven cents on him, he must never play original Monopoly ever again. He may only play variants such as Dog-opoly or MileyCyris-opoly, etc. Any player who has ever rolled a die only to have it bounce off the table and onto the floor now belongs to the DM as his property. Forever. Anyone who named their character with a play on words such as "Cill E. Bugger" must rip up that character. If said player has ever come to a game and forgotten to bring that character, they must then eat the ripped up character. Any player who has ever gotten Doritos cheese dust on any game figure must legally change their name to "Cill E. Bugger". Any player who has ever placed dice on the gaming area to represent their character when everyone else is using carefully selected and painted figures must go to the nearest tattoo parlour and ask for a tattoo that says "All tattoo artists are morons, especially this asshat tattooing me now". The DM now and forever has prima nocta rights over all of the players. I hope you all enjoy the Chair of "Adventure". As always, thanks for reading. ~Thunt

Firstly, thanks to the many thousands of people who did the survey. Blind Ferret has told me that they have all the information they need. Secondly, thanks again to all of those who've been donating for Tempts Fate! If you haven't received a 'thank-you' email from myself or Danielle yet, you will soon. Thirdly, great job on that zombie door! And finally, I'm offering a bribe... er... I mean contest to gain more Twitter followers and further spread the word of Goblins. Here's the deal... If I get at least 5,000 Twitter followers by September 29th (my birthday), I'll randomly select five people from my list of Twitter followers and send them each a signed Goblins book. If I get at least 10,000 Twitter followers by September 29th, I'll randomly select ten people and send them each a signed book. Also, each book will have some original panel artwork tucked into it. I'll select some good panels too, I won't send people a picture that just contains Minmax's foot or something. If I get 15,000 Twitter followers by September 29th, I'll randomly select fifteen people and send them each a signed book with original artwork tucked inside. If we get enough followers, you end up being a winner and there's a particular panel you're hoping for, well... we'll talk. Remember 5,000 followers = books with no original artwork in them. This is a link to my Twitter. As always, thanks for reading. ~Thunt

Goblins readers, you have homework. Blind Ferret is interested in finding out what sorts of people read this comic and so they've given me this short survey to pass onto you folks. By filling out the survey, you'll be helping us out a great deal. You'd also be making this site better for yourselves, because knowing exactly what sorts of people read this comic means the ads that appear on the site will be geared towards your specific interests. Personally, I'd rather see an ad for a new D&D book than for teeth whitener. Unlike regular homework, you don't actually have to do this, but it's very short (seriously, it's thirteen 'check this box' questions) and I'd be very grateful. As always, thanks for reading. ~Thunt
