History Webcomic / Yamara

* EvilCostumeSwitch: Happens instantaneously to Fea, when Dark Natasha sneaks up behind the heroes and slips a "Helm of Opposite Alignment" over her head. Next panel, Fea's gone from ditzy faerie to black-clad biker chick, complete with viper tattoo.

* FauxAffablyEvil: Yocchi. There's hardly anything "redeeming" about her, as she happily plays villain, but...She manages to be so stylish and funny even in the ToThePain [[http://yamara.com/yamaraclassic/index.php?date=2005-12-08 sequence]] that even her victim [[http://yamara.com/yamaraclassic/index.php?date=2005-12-12 doesn't seem]] to hold too much of a grudge, and after all, she herself is [[http://yamara.com/yamaraclassic/index.php?date=2005-12-22 known to be]] TooKinkyToTorture, cheerfully crazy, ''and'' TheChewToy to boot, so it's somehow hard to blame her.

* GoingForTheBigScoop: [[http://yamara.com/yamaraclassic/index.php?date=2005-10-27 That time when]] Yamara discovered the most outrageous (if not most dangerous) monster...

--> ([[http://www.yamara.com/yamaraclassic/index.php?date=2005-06-02 see the right answer]])

* SpikesOfDoom: [[http://yamara.com/yamaraclassic/index.php?date=2005-06-06 This strip]] features an obligatory spike pit.
* SquareRaceRoundClass: Yamara Tooke [[http://yamara.com/yamaraclassic/index.php?date=2006-05-15 became a barbarian]] before Belkar (from ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick''). Also, the strip contains TooMuchInformation on halflings:

* DeathWorld: ''[[TabletopGame/DarkSun Hard Fun]]'' is set in a world rendered barren by [[GreenAesop overuse of magic]], which in ''D&D'' 2nd Ed. had you starting at level 3 so you weren't killed the first time you stepped outside. As [[http://www.yamara.com/yamaraclassic/index.php?date=2006-02-23 this strip shows]]:

* DigitalPiracyIsEvil: [[http://www.yamara.com/yamaraclassic/index.php?date=2006-02-09 Glathheld claimed skull as his trademark]] and made people pay for "lease" -- [[http://www.yamara.com/yamaraclassic/index.php?date=2006-02-23 when he could]]. Since he forgot about another entity with the right of prior use ([[AC:[[Literature/{{Discworld}} Not the Taxes]].]]), HilarityEnsues [[http://yamara.com/yamaraclassic/index.php?date=2006-03-13 shortly afterward.]]

* {{Familiar}}: Fea has "Poopsie"... er... Ralph the toad. [[http://yamara.com/yamaraclassic/index.php?date=2005-06-16 "Poopsie" has nightmare.]]

-->[[http://yamara.com/yamaraclassic/index.php?date=2005-12-26 "There's no racism like fantasy racism. Like no racism I know."]]

* TheAce: Ogrek the Undisciplined: Irredeemable {{Munchkin}}? [[http://yamara.com/yamaraclassic/index.php?date=2005-10-13 (check)]] [[ChivalrousPervert Has a big bonus to spot ladies whom he deems "cute" even if they are hiding]]? [[http://yamara.com/yamaraclassic/index.php?date=2005-07-25 (check)]] [[GoodScarsEvilScars "Heroic" scar]] and "veteran parade" uniform? Right here. Evading compromising situation ''with grace''? [[http://yamara.com/yamaraclassic/index.php?date=2005-09-22 (check)]] Comment on having 20,000 hobgoblings as neighbors? "[[http://yamara.com/yamaraclassic/index.php?date=2005-10-31 Nice, quiet professionals]]". CrazyPrepared while carrying almost nothing and ''[[ForgottenBirthday remembers her birthday]]'' no matter what's going on? [[http://yamara.com/yamaraclassic/index.php?date=2005-11-10 (check)]] And let's not start on his ''other'' wife.

* BerserkButton: Yamara as a halfling and thief seems to be accustomed to some people's disdain, but ones who miss her multiclassing while showing it provoke her to make a point. It isn't UnstoppableRage, but they just earned a ticket to the world of hurt, [[http://yamara.com/yamaraclassic/index.php?date=2005-05-26 one way]] or [[http://www.yamara.com/yamara/index.php?date=2006-05-25 another.]]

* CerebusSyndrome: Fairly early in its run, did a LampshadeHanging in [[http://yamara.com/yamaraclassic/index.php?date=2005-08-22 this strip.]]
* TheChosenOne: [[http://yamara.com/yamaraclassic/index.php?date=2005-11-03 LO! It is -- THE PROPHESIED ONE!!]] Now, if scrolls specifically said "a halfling, [[NoodleImplements bearing springs, a whoopee cushion, a songbird and an inflatable raft on its jetpack]]", it really doesn't looks like [[MissedTheCall there can be some mistake]]...

* NoExceptYes: The Frinn don't usually give straight answers to anything.
--> '''Yamara''' ''(of the Headpiece of Frinn):'' But tell me - is it dangerous to handle?
--> '''Frinn #1:''' ''Not at all.''
--> '''Frinn #2:''' ''It is an honor.''
--> '''Frinn #3:''' ''Define "dangerous".''

* SocialSemiCircle: [[http://yamara.com/2006/05/18/yamaras-dreme/ A strip]] featured the title character (a halfling in a D&D gameworld) having a dream in which she sees the gaming groups from ''[[ComicStrip/KnightsOfTheDinnerTable KoDT]]'', ''DorkTower'' and ''Commissioned'' and wonders why they're all on one side of the table. The answer: "Because the ''other'' side...is for people like ''you''."

--> '''Ogrek''' ''(criticizing Yamara's pack full of traditional adventuring gear):'' Waterskin? Take a dowsing rod instead. Rope? Extra-long elastic cords are better. And forget all these iron rations. I'll take you to a nice restaurant. You'll need some springs, a whoopee cushion, a songbird, and an inflatable raft - just to be on the safe side. Judicious use of the jetpack should [[MediumAwareness allow you to remain in the 'unencumbered' category throughout the adventure

* FrogsAndToads: Fea's familiar Ralph is a toad, possibly a BalefulPolymorph.

The setting uses [[RPGMechanicsVerse mechanics]] from the ''[[TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons AD&D]]'' [[RolePlayingGame RPG]]. It follows the misadventures of a party of monster hunters: Yamara Tooke (a halfling Fighter/Thief), Joe Holy (a human Cleric of St. Nobian's, the church that funds the group), Fëa of Ping Forest (an elf Magician and former Game Show Hostess), and Blag (a dwarf fighter). Blag and Fea eventually faded out of the storyline, while several other characters rose to starring roles - Fëa's familiar Ralph, Ogrek the Undisciplined, Persephone the love-sick vampire, Matron [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Stress]] of the dark elf city of Ekmuz-Strel-Thridd, and more. Although their adventures started on the generic gameworld planet Wyhtl, the cast did take an extended trip via {{Spelljammer}} to the world of [[TabletopGame/DarkSun Hard Fun]] in order to mock it for a while.

* CrazyPrepared: Ogrek emphasizes the 'crazy' part.
--> '''Ogrek''' ''(criticizing Yamara's pack full of traditional adventuring gear):'' Fifty-foot rope? Use these bungee cords instead. Iron spikes? Try these suction cups. And forget these iron rations. I'll take you to a nice restaurant. You'll need a songbird, some springs, a jetpack, and an inflatable life raft - just to be on the safe side.
--> '''Yamara:''' How... wonderful. And what will ''you'' be taking?
