All these references are near the beginning of the 8 bit theater comic during the various dream sequences.

I would like to know which game the background for the "Missledoken" cast by black mage is from.

I would like to know where the stat spread sheet Red Mage is dreaming about comes from. I assume it comes from Dungeons and Dragons but I cannot be sure.

If someone could email me at ardamaeus@hotmail.com or post it here I would appreciate it!

The first is Bangai-Oh for the Dreamcast. It's an amazing game. There's a DS version but I've not played it.

The second is some kind of custom Final Fantasy tabletop RPG possibly called, I think, The Returners.

How exactly could that information be used for nefarious purposes?

He could try and make a Bangai-oh RPG using The Returners character sheets. I'd say that's pretty nefarious.

That wouldnt be not only nefarious... but how in the world are you going to throw all those d20's when you launch your bangai's missile barrage?

I always wonderd what that was. Thanks for that, now I have to find the DS version.

To give you some idea on the DS version, the tutorial is hard. I'm pretty sure I stopped playing the game after I was unable to beat the first level after repeated attempts. It's not easy.

The Returners is correct and here (http://www.returnergames.com/) is their website. They may have developed the system and/or character sheets in the time since that comic. I always wanted to give that system a shot, but no opportunity has come up yet.

You roll 1d20 * 1d20 to determine how many missiles you shoot, and then 1d20 to determine how much damage each of them do! With a perfect three rolls, you shoot 400 missiles for 20 damage apiece!

Man!!!

I don't know Bangai-Oh, but alternatively, weapons upgrade provides a fixed range of missiles. For instance, your starter missile pod has a missile count of 200 - 400 missile, assigned to dice rolls.

Then roll a dice for the damage. 2 dice needed in total.

Well, since it's Bangai-Oh, you'd probably need to do at least twenty rolls to see if you've blown up yet.

I'll let you know how I do, NonCon! Personally I'm just excited to see a screen full of missiles like in that comic. It looked like fun.

So it's basically 40k?

No, that is not enough dices for 40k.
