Yes, but how many bartenders are Bards, Clerics, Druids, Sorcerers or Wizards (and can therefore cast cantrips)? If they're none of the above, they can't do it
I can just picture a bartender approaching a spell-caster for help. "Excuse me, Gandalf sir..." Right?

Most are retired adventurers.
So it could be.
Or someone does it for free, for drinks.

[Rath Darkblade]

Hmm. It's plausible, I guess. What happens then if the bartender welches on the deal -- do they get turned into a frog? (Or a spider/fly/whatever?)

[Tawmis]

[Rath Darkblade]

Er, I don't get it? You mean, you draw up a table to see what the bartender gets turned into?

And yes, obviously a d20 can't roll 21.

Well, normally A Natural 20 is a good thing. So in D&D Terms, 20 20 should have been fantastic.

So some white out, and make one roll a 21 instead of 20, and you get 20 21, which hopefully works out better than 20 20.

[Rath Darkblade]

Oh! But, but ... wouldn't the DM notice? Or the players? Someone's bound to say "Hold on...!!!", especially when you announce that you rolled a 41.

Heh. It's a reference to the year 20 20.

Now 20 21.

Since 20's in D&D are good; and clearly 20 20 was not...

I made the joke that maybe a 20 and 21 will be better.

[Rath Darkblade]

D'oh!!! Oops. Clearly I am thinking too much about D&D mechanics and missed something simple.

*goes to sit in the corner*

Quite all right. Could be that the joke wasn't very good, either.

Hmm. Do you have the font(s) that the Coles used in QfG, by any chance? I'd like to try my hand at creating a QfG comic in MS Paint.

(I know this isn't the thread for this question, but heck - QfG, D&D - they're both RPGs)

Yes, I do - assuming you have Windows.
Hah - forum doesn't allow us to attach those file types, however.
However, eons ago - I made it available on the Larry Laffer website:
http://larrylaffer.net/non-lsl-games/sierra-sci-font

[Rath Darkblade]

Hmm, OK ... that's the font for QfG1 and 2, but not for QfG3, 4 or 5. I don't suppose you have those? (Pretty please with strawberries?)

They look like this:

[Tawmis]

The font is exactly the same from the second screenshot.
And I don't have the other two fonts. Though they may just be standard fonts by the look of them - don't know their names.
I love fonts for all my photoshop that I do - so I have like 300 fonts installed. Too much effort to check each of them.

[Rath Darkblade]

Fair enough. I used the "GloryQuest" for yesterday to create the web-comic.

Just wondering, by the way: how do you "wipe the board clean" (as in, make that grey "board" look like stone?) I tried yesterday to do that, using the "colour picker" and the "fill with colour" tools in MS Paint -- as below:

So, I used the 'colour picker' tool on the "slab of stone" to get the grey colour, then wiped off the words with the eraser (which created white spaces), and then used the "fill with colour" tool on the white spaces, to fill them with grey.

But the results were ... um, not so good - it was just plain grey, not a "weathered-stone" grey like the picture shows.

Any ideas how to create the "stone" effect? Is it even possible with MS Paint?

Thanks!

Your best bet is to copy an area without text and then paste it over the text.
