@forgottenrunes @Reilly_Brown @wizardbottle @ToBeIsToBreathe @ChuckCharger @RuniverseGame @rare_labs @ibroughtcake @dotta @MagusTumbaj 51/ We have a few more interesting pages to close out the issue. First is an ad for the "Billy's Gonna Get Ya" action figure series! This is @bitvargen's creation, and it looks legit! As in, that appears to be a real PO Box you can mail that slip of paper!
@forgottenrunes @Reilly_Brown @wizardbottle @ToBeIsToBreathe @ChuckCharger @RuniverseGame @rare_labs @ibroughtcake @dotta @MagusTumbaj 50/ The head and body match, but the staff is different. And the most tell-tale discrepancy - this Dark Arcanist has a slime familiar. A quick search of the collection reveals it can only be Magus Kazem of the Steppe (owned by Magic Machine)!
@forgottenrunes @Reilly_Brown @wizardbottle @ToBeIsToBreathe @ChuckCharger @RuniverseGame @rare_labs @ibroughtcake @dotta @MagusTumbaj 49/ The "hooded figure" who watches it all is the only featured wizard who is not identified by name in Issue 0. I know what you may be thinking - is that's Kel's main wizard, Druid Faiz of Arcadia?
(If you weren't wondering that, I certainly was!)
@forgottenrunes @Reilly_Brown @wizardbottle @ToBeIsToBreathe @ChuckCharger @RuniverseGame @rare_labs @ibroughtcake @dotta 48/ On the final story page, we get a glimpse of our final featured wizard. However, in the dialogue we have an Easter Egg - @MagusTumbaj receives a mention as someone who's cornered the market on "those mushrooms"...
@forgottenrunes @Reilly_Brown @wizardbottle @ToBeIsToBreathe @ChuckCharger @RuniverseGame @rare_labs @ibroughtcake @dotta 46/ We switch to another building - this one is by a harbor. Archmagus Crowley of Atlantis (another MM wizard) is doing a bit of unauthorized searching...
@forgottenrunes @Reilly_Brown @wizardbottle @ToBeIsToBreathe @ChuckCharger @RuniverseGame @rare_labs @ibroughtcake @dotta 45/ Who was at the door? Another cliff-hanger, it's time to move on...
@forgottenrunes @Reilly_Brown @wizardbottle @ToBeIsToBreathe @ChuckCharger @RuniverseGame @rare_labs @ibroughtcake @dotta 43/ Well, that was fun, but onto more stories! The next snippet features Alchemist Danny of the Fey. This wizard is also owned by Magic Machine.
@forgottenrunes @Reilly_Brown @wizardbottle @ToBeIsToBreathe @ChuckCharger @RuniverseGame @rare_labs @ibroughtcake @dotta 42/ On the next page, we learn about the wonderful Kelpie Pups! Of course, this is a play on the Sea Monkeys that looked so wonderful in the ad, but when you actually them, they were tiny shrimps that didn't look monkeys at all!
@forgottenrunes @Reilly_Brown @wizardbottle @ToBeIsToBreathe @ChuckCharger @RuniverseGame @rare_labs @ibroughtcake @dotta 39/ Exploding Toad Timer. What happens when the timer hits zero? I guess you'd have to purchase to find out.
@forgottenrunes @Reilly_Brown @wizardbottle @ToBeIsToBreathe @ChuckCharger @RuniverseGame @rare_labs @ibroughtcake @dotta 38/ Lore Lust Juice. I wouldn't buy it for my kid...but maybe they wanted to have an item for the adult readers!
May also be an indirect reference to the Passion Potion.
