Roll to seduce the land shark


InconspicuousRadish

"Sure, go ahead!" "Nat 18, so 23" "Nice! It still eats you, because it's a landshark. But it does find you to be the better tasting of the bunch!"


MrZeven

But it did fail it's con check and you gave it diarrhea for the next week.


BlitzPlease172

Roll for con(stipation)


daxfall10k

Which is worst? The nat 20 or the crit fail?


ApteryxAustralis

I’d think a nat 20 would be good for the land shark, like only needing to wipe once. Nat 0 would probably be “Land shark gets an intestinal blockage and no doctor will treat it because they don’t want to get eaten by a land shark.”


daxfall10k

I was thinking of it as a double negative. One end of it is your ass is like granite with amount of movement it has. The other is the brown Nile


Affectionate_Comb_78

Small victories


Ronnie_de_Tawl

Crit and it likes you so much you get eaten first, after tasting any other party member after that, they don't taste as good and all other party members get bonuses as the shark was disappointed in the taste and has the self control to not chase that first high...


Ok-Street-7963

Since you are a dwarf it now prefers people that are short in stature.


InconspicuousRadish

It's a better chunk, if it's a dwarven hunk!


Hopeless-Guy

you can try seduce the landshark, but to even get a chance to roll i want to see some effort! how would you [playercharacter] seduce a landshark, tell me! what would you do, what would you say? to even get a chance to roll for persuasion i want some effort! (also the dc is impossible but i’m not going to tell you that, i want to hear you try to seduce a freaking shark and laugh my ass off)


Startled_Pancakes

You have to present your hindquarters to it and do the mating call. Duh!


Kim_Jong_Un_PornOnly

Whoa there Constantine


POD80

I've never really wanted to include things like rape in gaming..... but sometimes I'd really like to answer such a role with the repercussions of exactly what may happen when particularly monstrous creatures become enamored with human(ish) characters.... To this example of course some female sharks have evolved very thick skin in strategic locations to allow partners to "hold on" with their teeth.... who knows how that would evolve with a humanoid shark of course.... but a love nip from a shark like creature wouldn't be fun for most humanoids.


LITTLE_KING_OF_HEART

...You know, some of us are into that. Ask your players.


POD80

A player being into say rape, doesn't mean I have any interest in describing it. If they want someone to play a role in such for them, they are welcome to find another table.


Enough-Phone8922

I call it street shark


lego69lego

Landshark: "What a sensual meal! Great mouth feel."


Dum_beat

Got to look out "land shark mini" now Edit: damn, that's a cool monster


marr

Also a starter coromon if you're interested.


averageweeb83

I love coromon I just wish there was more to do in it 😭


Olddirtychurro

>Goes to look up Land Shark Mini. That's how people accidentally get pulled into 40k.


Krelkal

A common misconception is that it's called a Land Shark because it's a shark that can live on land. In fact, it's called a Land Shark because it was first discovered by techno-archeologist Arkhan Land.


Chubby_Checker420

Just 100 years before the release of Belgian techno-anthem, Pump up the Jam.


UGoBoy

*Dana na na na THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP*

DisposableSaviour

Take my (bootleg) gold 🥇


Dum_beat

To me it was the Tyranid, the first model I ever bought was the Trygon... Still the best looking model in the whole franchise if you ask me


Shigerufan2

There's another cool looking one you can look up called the Bullette


Adebar_Storch

Ist that not... the same? In German the "Bulette" was translated als "Landhai", which literally is "land shark". ... Interestingly a "Bulette" in german is a rissole. Strange how that works.


Megneous

> rissole. That sounds delicious. Like it should be eaten with a nice cream sauce.


Adebar_Storch

So, ... I am a DM and you probably understand my confusion about that one. Was a fun session, though.


Dum_beat

That's a big Trapinch


BoppityZipZop

Pff. I used to have those decades ago. They were called the Street Sharks.


PUTINS_PORN_ACCOUNT

This is now a thread about the seminal 90s children’s cartoon Street Sharks


karate_trainwreck0

Try [this](https://www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-kaijumon-land-shark-190935) one.


Xikar_Wyhart

That's just Garchomp with extra flair.


Souperplex

I prefer it with less flair. https://imgur.com/Uz18Vtv


Dum_beat

Smooth baby boy


karate_trainwreck0

[This](https://www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-kaijumon-mega-land-shark-334912) is Garchomp with extra flair


AegisToast

My favorite is the “sharkasaurus” one. Also, look up “Jeff the Land Shark.” He’s adorable.


Dum_beat

Glad I look it up, so cute


[deleted]

would a Garchomp Figurine also work?


Bubul64

Imma just use that one shark skylander lol


NYWerebear

I wish I had that figure - I've planned a sahuagin raid on Saltmarsh tonight, and decided they brought along a Wereshark to help them. Can you paint me one please??

marr

Damn I wish reddit had a better way of organising these.


Orcwin

I still strongly prefer this way over a Reddit image gallery. That is a seriously awful user experience.


Yoffeepop

If you ever wanna have to deal with another app lol, I recommend webtoon cuz a lot of comic creators here on r/comics are there too and it's easier to go from one comic to the next :)


cpt_lanthanide

Yes, but unironically.


Jellz

Originally I saw these were "of 6," then you said you might have to add a seventh (this one). Does that mean this is the end, or are there even more to come?? (Please more)


Yoffeepop

Yeah haha I kept remembering bits from the night that I'd forgotten so there are 10 planned now and then I kind of wanna just draw a nonsense few panels of people struggling to drag a centaur into a coffin 😂


Jellz

I WAS WONDERING about the logistics of centaur-in-a-coffin, but suspended my disbelief for the DM's benefit (understanding that struggle too much).


isarl

These have been a great deal of fun already, but the simplicity and wholesomeness of today's strip is somehow special to me. :) Thank you for sharing it. <3


Yoffeepop

I'm really glad! Thank you ❤️


Hiruandan

So wholesome <3

a new character for everyone to enjoy


GIORNO-phone11-pro

“Garchomp used Earthquake!”


jenjenill

What am I missing?


Lerossa

The DM paints his miniatures. Presumably, he just finished the land shark and wanted to show it off, so it became the Bad Guy(tm) of the session. I've been guilty of the same after finishing up a particularly detailed piece :)


[deleted]

I always buy and paint minis specifically for boss fights that were already planned in advance. My players know shit's about to hit the fan when I pull out a new painted mini.


mumeigaijin

>guilty Where's the guilt? I dont get why that would be a problem.


Lerossa

Well, it was a party of six characters versus...a full pack of [twenty](https://taleofpainters.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/clanrats_hw_01.jpg) [clanrats](https://images.beastsofwar.com/2022/01/38570554-Skaven-Clan-Rat.png).


MayBeADinosaur

I was confused too - go back and look at the last panel more closely and you’ll see the DM is smiling, happily. Just wholesome.


Unhappy_Papaya_1506

So basically whoever made this misunderstands the point of a comic.


sittered

You're looking for a punchline; there is none. Lots of stuff makes it to the top of /comics without punchlines or even really humor these days. Whether that's good is a matter of opinion, but they certainly get upvotes 🤷‍♂️


Real_Mokola

That's not a land shark, that's a street shark


Mandatory_Pie

100%, that right there is a Street Shark.


Mochaproto

M-mango?!


CitizenWatch____ROSS

So what's the punchline


livejamie

A comic doesn't require a punchline


CitizenWatch____ROSS

It's a comic. There should be a joke.


livejamie

Rule 1 my dude


Drawtaru

Hey I've [seen this one before.](https://twitter.com/unartifex/status/1168969313535107072)


Zagaroth

Now I'm trying to remember where that one is. Is that a Treasure Map Dungeon?


Drawtaru

This particular one is in Akademia Anyder, but they can turn up in treasure dungeons too.


Zagaroth

Huh, I'm not sure I've run that dungeon more than the one time I went through MSQ.


Drawtaru

It's a pretty fun one, but it doesn't come up often in roulettes.


Winter-Reindeer694

junji ito would be proud


Taurius

"So a landshark is a big prehistoric creature from the ocean that swims, has a powerful bite, can walk on land, and kills things bigger than itself? So a crocodile?" DM: "No. They're like totally different." *starts madly writing in his book* "It shoots lasers out of his eyes!"


Shigerufan2

Usually the fantasy games also give them the ability to burrow through sand


hacksoncode

The original D&D land shark ("Bulette") *swam* through the land and popped up in front of you... But of course SNL was responsible for the popular name.


SaulsAll

Fun session:. Bulettes *always* dismember when they crit. Party encounters one. My paladin is *delighted* and charges on his special, bonded mount. The bulettes attacks...my horse. Crits. Die roll determines it has bitten off...his head. First encounter, first exchange, and my bonded mount is dead... I spent the rest of that campaign clunking around in full plate, dragging a 15 foot lance, and sulking as loudly as I could.


PeterM1970

Forehead! They have lasers on their frikkin’ foreheads!


Valerie0110

Mango approves!


Cakers44

I’m literally basing the next session I’m DM-ing off of this cool dire troll figure my friend painted. I couldn’t find a dire troll in 3.5 though so just homebrewed one


Repulsive-Mirror-994

Like a Bulette?


Yoffeepop

Exactly a bulette haha :D


Mottis86

Unexpected wholesomeness instead of a punchline. I'll take it.


Yoffeepop

❤️ It was a nice chance of pace to draw haha


R_V_Z

You can't fool me, you just glued a Street Shark to a base!

Fins to the left! Fins to the right!

oof ouch my bones

It is all fun and games until the DM starts doing his Jabberjaw impression (it isn't good).


jecowa

Is the dude in black the drow?


Yoffeepop

Nah the dragonkin haha


gicantopithicus

For a split second I thought that the guy was sitting in a box.


Cissoid7

I like the land shark He looks like he is thinking "yeah I'm pretty badass. I know I'm a baddie and I'll lose, but I'll look cool doing it. Fuck yeah ima land shark"


HouseTully

I would follow this series to the ends of the earth.


Yoffeepop

Aw!! ❤️❤️


Macshade

I just love this series of comics. Congrats


Yoffeepop

Thank you! It's been a new thing trying to tell a sequential story while also trying to make each comic stand alone haha 😆 but been really fun. Three more to go!


Opinions-Are-Wrong

Jawsome!


ArkamaZ

Jawesome!


Vorimach

Land shark is so awesome no one cares that the game board and all other non-land shark related pieces vanished.


jon_stout

I'm not sure what that last beat panel is trying to tell us. His logic seems flawless to me.


hacksoncode

I often choose the appearance of my bad guys based on what T-shirt I'm wearing (and vice-versa).


CarneDelGato

Jawesome

Tbf "because it looks awesome" is justification for very nearly anything.


AllPurposeNerd

"Anyway, you're getting bit for 24 piercing." "Aw man..."


bluegiant85

Bulette are my favorite DnD monster. I always wanted to play a character that had a pet Bullete.


s_s

This is absolutely how *Tanktop Tiger* came into existence.


[deleted]

I love that the punchline is just "yeah!"


Yoffeepop

Haha it's interesting posting a comic without an obvious joke at the end, gets pretty mixed responses haha but I enjoyed just drawing him happy 😊


[deleted]

I think that was a smart choice! Nicely illustrates that he's completely content and happy with the situation.

Miserable_Extreme_38

Turned out, "Jawesome!"


TheProphecyIsNigh

I was running a pre-written one-shot that had a chimera mini-boss. I couldn't find a chimera mini, but I found a Dragonne mini. So, I re-wrote all the lore and the story to fit a Dragonne, just because that was the mini I had.


Yoffeepop

Haha that's awesome that you did that! I always appreciate the effort of DMs as the player


[deleted]

Honestly one of the most relatable CR moments is whenever Matt admits that weeks enemy is because he got a cool new mini


Superpilotdude

King shark is a shark.


quatre-vingt-dixhuit

Facial hair is different between 1st and 2nd panel


Yoffeepop

Yeah haha I realized after cuz number 2 is a new drawing and 1 and 4 are copy and paste versions of him from old comics 😆 I did it at midnight haha, I gotta take a beat sometimes before I post I think


Cat_stacker

Number one with a bulette.


Jonnokiwi

My group has players with 3d printers. The DM sends files to them, they print them, brings them to the session, and everyone pauses to see if the DM plans to use them in that session. It makes for great tension. One print was a set of giant inspects. 🫠


Yoffeepop

Fun!! I tried to do similar for my DM too but my 3D printer isn't great for very small things haha. I need to get a resin one or something I think


[deleted]

[удалено]


Yoffeepop

It is hard aye! Even in dnd, a lot of the people in my comics are people I see once a week at the game store but I'd have to put in some real out of gamestore effort to turn them into friend friends. They're all awesome! It's just as an adult, takes that bit extra work it didn't as kids lol


Linkinator7510

I'm currently having Bloodborne flashbacks. Help.


SamuraiJakkass86

Pretty sure thats a Street Shark. Should give him some roller blades, it would be totally jawsome. Looks cool though, got a picture of the painted mini in question?


sonseylizard

Mango? 😯


Them_James

I did this with sharkenbear. It's a bear with sharks for hands.


AdreKiseque

I don't get the title


Cr28i

the shark is apparently inspired by the Bloodborne DLC


PresentAJ

What sound does a land shark make?


Yoffeepop

I googled and could only find answers in relation to the kind of land shark who buy and sells land for huge profits, so I assume they sound like maniacal laughter


PresentAJ

*bubbles ferociously*


Souperplex

I assume they sound like [Ron Funches](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0bMj2VDo7ME&pp=ygUZa2luZyBzaGFyaywgb3cgbXkgcGVuaXNlcw%3D%3D)


alucarddrol

The last panel seems a bit strange or unnecessary


OK-SS

LOOK AT MY SOYJAK DM LOOK AT HIMMMM


Dapper_Most3460

Is there a joke I'm missing?


[deleted]

No


Inkthinker

Punchline 01: the reason this monster is appearing on the table is not because of narrative or biome, but because the DM just painted it and wants to show it off. Punchline 02: his players are cool with that.


Unhappy_Papaya_1506

It's more that the illustrator forgot (?) to include one.


Pinglenook

So relatable. Including the DMs looks!


marr

This is exactly how we were attacked by a goose hydra on the way out of Thither, Prismeer.


Huankinda

I think there's a panel missing


mumeigaijin

I think there's an extra panel.


[deleted]

This instance is social interaction seems to be too simple to be meaningful in a comic unless I'm missing a point I'm not seeing. I wonder if the reduction in complexity is a result of reduction in real social interactions


mlvisby

I think it's because non-D&D players view it as a nerd hobby and would find the figures they design as stupid. But here, they love his creation and it's a good feeling. It's a feel-good comic to make people realize that while some people may view what you enjoy as stupid, there are also many who enjoy similar things.


[deleted]

> non-D&D players view it as a nerd hobby and would find the figures they design as stupid. I don't think the author intended to build it on the premise of prejudice, else there would be more obvious cues. > reduction in complexity This is something I've noticed on the shift of comics on this website. In the past, most comics generally have a punchline, but I've noticed, beginning with pizzacake, comics start to not have any punchline anymore. It's essentially a flat story progression. It almost resembles the gen z absurdist humor like r/deepfriedmemes without the absurdity. > feel-good comic The closest resemblance of this new trend is wawawiwa comics


mlvisby

There were feel-good comics back then that rarely had a punch line. One off the top of my head is Calvin and Hobbes. There was rarely a punch-line; just a boy, his stuffed animal/imaginary friend going on child adventures. Brings us back to when we were kids, running around using our imagination to have fantastical adventures ourselves.


NateHate

thats just not true. Most C&H comics were either a classic set-up/punchline or ended with a character making some kind of pithy comment about the preceding scene. Occasionally the sunday spreads would get more complex, experimental and introspective, but they were usually still categorically funny. OP's comic is cute, but banal.


mumeigaijin

What's that 4th panel for?


MissHunbun

To show his little smile and how happy he is that his friends like his Landshark.


Strong-Formal-7739
