This comic follows on from the Previous comic which will almost certainly provide context.

You might not wanna be famous, but when you’re level 10, every organization within a mile is watching what you’re doing.

    Here’s a short little “meanwhile” comic as a bonus, since it’s been a while.

    Oh, apologies about my personal website. My hosting is done by a friend with a small server, and… well basically every wordpress site in existence is now under constant effective-DDoS by AI bots trying to scrape all the data. They’re not subtle about it, and just try to download all the pictures simultaneously. My server is too small to handle that load, so just reboots when that happens (it’s usually down for about a minute).

    The fact that it’s near constantly down is just a product of how often I’m getting these requests.

      Welcome back. I love these comics. The website situation is super shitty, I wish you luck on that endless battle.

      I ended up just switching to your Tumblr page in my webcomic rotation to get around it.

      Some ideas for GMs of high level parties:

      • Low level party seeks our your party for advice, or help with something outside of their abilities
      • Newspaper reporter seeks interview for puff-piece about adventurer lifestyles
      • Newspaper reporter seeks interview so they can write hit-piece on a party member
      • Fans of the party’s exploits show up and ask for autographs
      • That play scene from Avatar the Last Airbender
      • Merchants keep pitching increasingly plausible investment opportunities
      • Party encounters someone dressed up as the most famous member of the party, using their identity to claim free drinks at the pub
      • Unskilled squire requests to join party to help with their adventures
      • Legendary Swordsman seeks out party member for a duel
      • Everyone you meet asks for money

        My last character who was getting well known in the local area was also well known for blowing his gold on booze and gambling at every available opportunity, which is a good way to deter the money-seekers!

      I’m making comics as often as I can - this plotline has a fair few left to run.

    Thats funny, because I’ve seen some DMs where nobody cares wether or not lvl. 10, they still treat you as if you were lvl. one and don’t know sh*t about you. (Mainly in campaigns where the characters travel a lot. I still find it weird. Rumors spread quickly.)
