I seemed to have missed this the first time I read through the responses :laugh:

And, sure, there's all kinds of hideous mites on your face, but I think it goes along with facts like that most peanut butter jars and bars of chocolate have something like 4-6 insect legs/other parts in them. Sure, it's gross at first, but 5 minutes later you're eating a Reese's cup and trying to ignore the smell of cat urine that's been on your friend's face for a few days.

It isn't clear to me -- that statement about Dwarf beards in reality 51... about the length of time it takes to grow beards... is that something unique to 51? Or is that a standard defnition we have for Dwarves in general?

If there are tiny microscopic cats, there are probably cats that are much larger than standard... providing a higher challenge, and more XP.

Lions and such are cats that worth some XP.
Oh, and think about how pouncy the katgaroos are.

Or you could just float away from them all on your wonderful Catamaran.

FUN!
Updated the list, left old notes on WizMax reality, because there were some minor stuff not in the today's official story.
I'm not sure i want to update the cat-reality image because, while super-shading is cool, it pretty much hides any understanding of how Thunt originally coloured them ._.

FUN and CATS!

Imagine how dungeon builders must accomodate to cats setting off traps and killing monsters.

I agree that was sweet. As for the second: They met in a bar. :meh: :paranoia: :roll:

I think cats are not suited for being dungeon monsters. Except, maybe, cat pits.

So does that mean we're all super cool super monsters, since we casually go through life with these horrifying things on our faces without even noticing them?

I can live with that.

Oh, and http://www.mewgenics.com/ is hopefully going to be out eventually... You'll have to Google it to get any information, though, that site is just a placeholder. *sighs*

They didn't seem to be in the tower room brawl, and wizmax was there. It's probable the arrogant jerk left them behind.

Oh, I think Thunt could do better than THAT...remember issue 50 of Dragon magazine where they adapted These Cats to a DND setting?

http://aliens.wikia.com/wiki/Kzinti

The article's description of the arrival of the Kzinti in the AD&D world:

Several hundred years ago, there lived a magician of such extraordinarly powers that he had partial control of several gods. As is typical of magicians of extraordinary powers, he wanted to rule the world. He commanded the gods to deliver to him intelligent monsters that could help him conquor the world. The Gods wanted to deliver them in such a way as to kill the magician. They were Tired of being ordered around.

The specs he listed fit Kzinti pretty well. The gods bargained with other gods, who in turn dickered with other, more outlandish gods, who then dealt with truly bizzare alien gods, who, in return for godly favors, delivered a hundred square miles of the planet Kzin, complete with Flora, Fauna, two hundred feet of dirt and rock, and five thousand puzzle Kzinti.

The wizard survived the sky falling on him, but lost most of his troops and magic items. The Kzinti were looking for and found the wizard. Three thousand Kzinti died before the wizard, who after all had extraordinary powers, was rent into bite-sized morsels. Score one for Kzinti recklessness.

That's my guess. I he might have even left them in the first room. Maybe he has some sort of teleportation spell that would bring them to him should he have made it to the treasure room? :shrug:

Well, they did say that Charisma was his worst statistic. Perhaps they died off and WizMax simply doesn't care.

Technically it is binary ASCII (American Standard Code...), which is odd if you think about it too much. He could have also used Baudot code, which uses only five bits per character. As for the ASCII, I see "49 20 41 4D 20 47 52 45 41 54," which does translate as "I AM GREAT" in all caps. I wonder what he makes of the codes for miniscule letters.

Which means he's from a reality where there is an America.

Actually, I'm pretty sure it's WSCII (Wizard Standard Code for Information Interchange) which sounds a lot like the favorite beverage of booze guzzling wizards everywhere...

Didn't know where else to put this...

But I really hope we get explanations of Ruby's, Saphire's and Onyx's universes.
