Hee hee hee hee... Penis go boom. A point for Kin 
Also, tell me you didn't feel a little tug at your heartstrings at "C'mon Kin, let's go."

No, I did not feel a little tug... It was a great big one.
Yeah, there's one where Forgath appears to have the Axe, though that doesn't necessarily mean he's a paladin there, since non-paladins apparently can wield the axe too. There's also:
A room with Klik, and Minmax appears to have a metal arm
A room with Kin choking Minmax, as well as a room where Kin and Minmax are making out
A room where Minmax appears to be some kind of fish
Fat Minmax
And a whole bunch of other stuff to spot.
Also, according to their forums, each of the "zoomed in" panels we see in the comic has a corresponding backstory. I'm most interested in the one with a Goblinslayer Kin, I think that one's bizarre.

I'd imagine those are mostly just earlier character designs and or plot developments. Like the first one might just be what each character started out as, while others are concepts he may of had like having One Eye survive the battle and I guess join MM who had gotten to the chest with the shield of wonder and +1 sword.
You guys know he's revealed the general ideas behind all of the focused on guys, right? It's on the forums.

I'm kind of worried about the MinMax that has the Shield of Wonder. That is going to cause no end of havoc when they meet him in the maze.
Really? Because I'm pretty sure it's going to cause no end of amusement!

What would Groundhog Day have been like if Phil knew he was reliving the day, but didn't remember any of it? That would have been a very different movie.
No, it'd be the first 15-20 minutes of it, over and over. The only reason the situation works out in the comic is because they are removing/adding factors each run, which makes it different every time. Without added factors, Bill Murray would have been stuck forever.

Where?
This should be the post.
The realities are described in the order in which the panels appear in the comic. So the first alternate reality we see is #87. This is all transcribed directly from what Thunt told us in the chat. There was some information he was not able to reveal, especially with #16 because of spoilers due to ongoing plotlines. Everything is pretty much a direct quote from what Thunt said, but I put quotes around a few things just to make it clear that it's his wording (like the "much" part from #88). Also, Thunt gave me permission to post all this on the forums, so enjoy.
And sorry if some of it is a little hard to read, but Thunt talks fast.
218 realities represented (meaning 218 parties in the maze concurrently) in maze of many, including the comic's reality
Reality #87. Characters are able to freely multiclass as paladins with no alignment restrictions. Cleric/paladin Forgath and fighter/paladin Minmax.
Reality #9. Evil reality, evil god gained more control than he should have, his "thing" is insanity, taken over most of the "realm," most individuals are hardcore chaotic evil and absolutely insane. Forgath was not effected by evil god. When the god took over, the world became hellish and very very hot, so people wear a lot less clothing. Evil conversion wasn't sudden, but gradually over the course of a year, like a sickness (it hurt =P).
Reality #114 in that alternate reality, when MM and Forgath attacked goblin warcamp, drow died the same. Forgath was killed in battle with young and beautiful. Big Ears was killed instead of one eye. With Forgath dead, Minmax had revelation about goblins not all evil, when One Eye got upset over Big Ears dying. they were drawn together in friendship when they were feeling the same over the loss of their respective best friends. eventually grew into a full blown friendship. Minmax had successfully killed complains and got to poorly locked chest first and that's how he killed complains. There was a lot of animosity at first, but eventually became close friends. They went into Brassmoon together, MM wears "This is a Helmet" piece around his neck. Minmax in this world is not happy, due to what he did and Forgath dying; why he has bags under his eyes. No GAP in this reality. They used cloak to sneak One Eye into Brassmoon. Met GS at his house and fought and killed him. Since Forgath died, no one made MM buy pants.
Reality #51. Wizmax universe. Not much story, focuses on differences. Minmax still minmaxer, but focused on intelligence. Kin is a moron in this universe, still Kin just "absolutely stupid." Forgath didn't get helmet because her dad didn't intend her to be adventurer. MM's charisma is terrible, he's very rude, no idea how to interact with normal human beings. Overuses intelligence to such a degree he'd make any DM facepalm. Like "if he got backstabbed by rogue, he'd say 'with my intelligence I'd know the liklihood of being attacked in this area and so weeks ago I'd fit armor into the back of my shirt. I'd calculate all known variables.'" Still got stabbed by Complains, Complains still survived and GAP was formed. Forgath still Forgath. MM's belt is in binary.
Reality #16. with girl looking GS. Can't be talked about. Kin is the one who looks like GS, has the same part wood "situation" as GS does in normal reality. Minmax still a fighter, wearing chainmail.
Reality #88. Minmax and Forgath are the same as in normal universe. Difference is the goblins are "much much much much much much" tougher. Goblins can tear through solid steel with their bare claws (hands are twice the normal size, other appearance is the same), are very fast and almost impossible to damage. Same injuries, just more extreme damage from them (helm and eye). Complains almost took off Minmax's head. Scars are all over from fighting goblins. MM and Forgath have been on the run constantly, universe all about escaping goblins because "they're a'coming." They still have warcamps, but formed from overpopulation as goblins have no predators. Brassmoon not budding metropolis, it's very combat oriented spending all it's resources to stay alive from goblins. Need all their money for city defense and stuff, very little in way of replacement armor. Won't say who owns axe, but demon escaped the axe and goblins destroyed him by ganging up on him. Didn't seek out goblins, stumbled upon them. Would be stupid to seek them out, but they're everywhere. Not a fair universe to play D&D in. Only other creatures because goblins desire it to be so
In normal reality (not reality #1), Thunt was gonna have GAP to use cloaks to sneak into Brassmoon, like One Eye did, many alternate realities are from early drafts of the main story. In our reality, another adventuring party stopped the evil god from evil reality from succeeding in turning the world EVIL.

Well I guess time doesn't pass in the real world while they're in there or they're going to be way into the future when they get out based on the amount of failures they've had.

Ahahahaha! The obvious cliche shows up. I really should have seen that version coming.
I kinda feel bad for the Zombie group. They are never going to win because any zombie based victory is going to involve converting others into zombies. This doesn't work well when your on a time limit.

Well, the multiverse is infinite, so, there is a infinite number of groups that are a even slower.
Minmax seems to be the only constant among groups, there is even two "groups" that is only him.
The group with red helmets, are they a reference to something?

There are 217 alternate reality Minmax/Kin/Forgaths with canon background written out. I'll tweet about 1 every 20 followers starting @ 3620

BTW, when is the next Tempts Fate supposed to go up? The goal was met a long time ago.

Interesting, specially because in TVTropes there are a lot of people complaining about how the entire thing makes victory something obvious.

FMK Reality 32: Complains' Shield Of Wonder turned Minmax into an aquatic humaniod. He needs to soak himself at least once / 2 days. (cont)
.. And Forgath has found magic armour made of mud (yes, it's effective. Don't ask). Kin has much higher strength and is pretty buff.
The mud armour offers different bonuses, depending on whether it's wet or dry. This group can be seen in today's sneak peek.
