These situations are a great opportunity to ask your party members questions that they normally refuse to tell you about.

These comics are always a joy to see. The traditional coloring rather than digital really complements it.

Oh dang, that's one fabulous Konsi!

*saves*

[-] ahdok@ttrpg.network 4 points 1 year ago

If you want all the different faces I've drawn for Konsi (they're for vtt tokens) then you can get them here - the 7zip file is everything in that folder.

All of these tokens are Konsi, but some of them are disguises. "Yendi" is the half-orc version of Konsi, which exists for campaign reasons.

Ooooh thanks a lot!

Your art is so cute.

[-] Graycliff@ttrpg.network 14 points 1 year ago

Hey, @ahdok@ttrpg.network would you be alright with me sharing your comics to my local facebook group for gaming if I link back to your site? Our gaming community isn't huge, so I wouldn't expect it to be a ton of extra traffic, but they're really cute comics and I know some people will like them.

[-] ahdok@ttrpg.network 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yes, you are always welcome to share any of my art anywhere you like. If you want to credit it back to me that's very appreciated: Here's a link to places I normally post art, if you have a preference for tumblr/mast/twitter or my site.

If you just want to share the comics about Konsi, then this link will filter my webcomic by only those comics (it's in reverse chronological order, so the earliest one is at the bottom).

But I thought Doppelgangers could Read Thoughts?
Who's to say they don't know all the facts the victim does/did?

Although the last panel is clever, that could work on a constructed Doppelganger!

[-] ahdok@ttrpg.network 5 points 1 year ago

Yeah, you could just ask questions that you wanted to know the answers to, then go off vibes, or you could write a list of questions that only you and the person knew the answers to, and have someone else ask them, write the answers and bring them back to you.

It specifically says only surface thoughts, so no they couldn't learn everything about a person to better be them. They'd only really hear what you are currently thinking about. Maybe if the victim was super vain and constantly thought about themselves... 🤔

[-] Marchioness@ttrpg.network 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah. If you've ever used detect thoughts repeatedly in a campaign, you know how little information you actually get from surface thoughts.

[-] lord_ryvan@ttrpg.network 1 points 1 year ago

That is a fair point, though. I've never had a Doppelganger impersonate a player's character before, so I hadn't thought of the impact of that wording.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 2 points 1 year ago

I told this to my sister the other day and she had another good point in counter to mine: They may not be able to completely mimic the victim's memories, but they could read the thoughts of the person probing them to similar effect.

"Please check the box that says you are a real half elf"

[-] bradorsomething@ttrpg.network 4 points 1 year ago

Click the boxes that are the elf half

[-] bradorsomething@ttrpg.network 4 points 1 year ago

Trick question, one of those horses is a Druid!

[-] GTG3000@programming.dev 3 points 1 year ago

You linked to the image as opposed to the comic page.

Also cute goblin.

[-] ahdok@ttrpg.network 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I normally link to the image rather than the comic page - If you link to the comic page, it opens the page up when people click on it to look at it - which drives traffic away from here (I don't really want to do that.) - I probably lose out on followers for it, but I'd rather help build the community here first.

She's pointing at herself when she asks "what's your favourite thing" - imagine the disappointment of being beaten out by a hat.

[-] MorgoFett@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I thought the last panel was gonna be “do you enjoy fish sticks in your mouth?”

[-] imikoy@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago

cuuuute!

also, do I select the box where there is only a horse tail? It has a horse in it but it's not a lot of horse...

[-] ahdok@ttrpg.network 4 points 1 year ago

I think in real life, these captchas often accept your answer in both cases, in the case of ambiguity.

These captchas often don't actually have the answer included - they're collecting the answers so they can train bots in object recognition. They take your answer and compare it to a bunch of near simultaneous answers from other people, then accept it if it's close to what other people are saying.

[-] lord_ryvan@ttrpg.network 1 points 1 year ago

This is true!

So to answer “Do I select one that only has its tail?”, it depends on what most people pick, so just trust your gut feeling.
