Head’s up! I will be updating TPoH tomorrow all going well, but it won’t be at the usual time- I need a couple more hours to finish the page properly, so please don’t wait up late for it at the usual ‘almos’ time (lookin at you discord)
thank you for your patience, I don’t know how regular updates will be as I am still in the process of recovery but I think I will be updating these next two Sundays at least!
the final part! I can’t tell you how emotionally draining this one was and how anxious I was about getting it right, but the response I got from yesterday’s post was incredibly positive and touching. I’m so glad that people felt connected to it and I’m very moved so many people wrote to me to express that. Thanks for reading! I’ll do my best to get better from my tendonitis and make more soon!
By popular demand, here it is! Toonkind v1.0, ready for the show.
If anyone out there actually goes and tests it out, let me know! I’d love to hear feedback, both for what needs tweaking and just for what shenanigans you get into.
I have some questions/feedback!
- What stats are used for the spell saves for Hideous Laughter and Enthrall?
- For Hammerspace, can they store an unlimited number for 3ft³
objects, or is the entire space 3ft³? If not, what is the max dimensions, and total weight limit?
- I assume from the size that they’re Medium sized but it would be nice to call it out.
- Having Alignment on there would be nice as well, as per most (if not all) racial descriptions.
- Blink at 3rd character level seems a bit overpowered. You typically don’t get 3rd level spells until 5th
character level. I would also have all three subraces get their spell at 3rd level, similar to how Aasimar (and a lot of other!) subraces work.
- To replace Blink, you could consider Blur, Magic Mouth, or Rope Trick to keep in theme. Those are all 2nd level spells.
- Silent Image is okay, it’s 1st level and you could keep it. But if you wanted to bring it up to 2nd level to be consistent, Alter Self or Mirror Image could be thematic.
- Hideous Laughter and Enthrall are both WIS saving throws.
-The whole space is 3ft³. They can store a whole bunch of small objects, or one big anvil, whatever. Naturally, it all still needs to be marked down in Inventory, no making up objects out of nowhere.
-While the majority of the race is Medium, I wanted to leave it a little more open for anyone who wants to go a little wilder with their design. There’s always Tweety Birds and Speedy Gonzales, after all.
-I wasn’t sure if it was necessary to include if they didn’t have a particular alignment, but I’ll make sure to include it in later updates.
-Yeah, I wasn’t entirely sure about that. Spell levels vs. character levels has always been weird for me to figure out.
-I’d like to keep the teleportation effect in here, as reference to how cartoon characters can just show up in places out of nowhere. Misty Step would probably be the best trade-out.
-Silent Image is too thematic to the idea to drop; it’s lower level, which is why i gave it more uses per day than the other, higher-level spells.
Thanks for the feedback, I really do appreciate it. I’m far from the most informed about the nitty gritty of mechanics, and I’ll be sure to tweak things in a future version.
i had a thought today like man, my ancestors would probably not approve very much of me being such an extravagant glutton, but then i was like wtf are u kidding. those dumbasses didn’t live on a fuckin potato ass diet for no minimalism. they didn’t do what they did, whatever the fuck it was, for me NOT to fucking eat my bodyweight in sashimi!!! they would be fucking ecstatic to see me making the most of my opportunities for plenty. they would be fucking cheering me on. every lice-covered cossack and illiterate serf and three-toothed yak herder in my lineage is with me in this restaurant, and they are going absolutely apeshit watching me try to fit an entire samosa in my mouth
me, standing in front of the burger king counter like the blithering hunger gibbon i am: i’ll have… uhhh… double whopper with fries. thank you. large please
the 500 mongolian tatar and polish jew ghosts behind me: [ERUPT INTO WILD SCREAMING AND HIGH FIVES]
can you believe there is a painting of cossacks going hogwild out there that fits this situation perfectly

ask-the-hatbox-ghost asked: Hullo! Just wanted to pop in and say: you know, I don't think Disney will ever take copyrighty umbrage to the doodle-comics themselves… but they might if you keep linking to something as dreadfully illegal as the readcomicsonline website. If I were you I'd just tell readers how to find it without posting a link.
hm, that’s true. I’m not sure how else to let people access the stories though- the books can be very expensive, I read most of them in my local library growing up. If there’s a better way I’ll try to do that! I’d love it if there was a legal archive of the works that I could link to or endorse- if anyone knows about something like that I’d really appreciate knowing about it!
also posting that latest doodle comic part was the most terrifying thing I’ve ever done on tumblr so forgive me if I like, disappear until tomorrow im yikes
part four! I could talk about this part but I’m hoping it talks for itself. As ever, new tabs are best for reading clarity!
Thanks so much to my friends for all the feedback they gave me while working on this part, it was very important to me that I got it right and sent it to enough of the culturally relevant parties to confirm it was working and that I was getting the words across in the most appropriate way.
