Haha, wow. They've been there long before I first started reading MSPA.

This is pretty consistent of me actually.

If the invites haven't gone through, IM me at thisisbonetail on AIM or pester me at analogApothecary on Pesterchum and we can get it figured out. There have been a few problems already, so you guys aren't the only ones not getting invites if that's what happened.

Are there any plans to start up another for people who didn't get into the first one? I was at school when you guys started talking about this and I'm sad I couldn't make it in time.

This by no means has to be the only one. If someone else wants to start another one up go ahead.

Is there an example of a game session I can look at? I've heard about these kinds of games but I've never been in one, so I don't really know what I'd expect If I'd ever get in a session myself.

Well I don't know how helpful this will be, but this site compiles a bunch of threads about this very topic. I'd suggest going into the archives, sort by highest vote, and then just read things that sound interesting. Of course, not everything is strictly about the processes of tabletop roleplaying, but some of the best stuff I've read came from here so that's why I suggest it.

The Underlings had the powers of badass redcoats (AKA, were Dante ripoffs) or were ninjas, and the Monarchs got Gygaxian and just preemptively killed everyone right after Medium entry, actually. :eng101:

IIRC, NLTM posted transcripts of some sessions in the PYF Homestuck Art Thread. Maybe checking those might be a good idea?

Apparently it is shortened from FancySantakind, since the whole thing is too long to fit on the card. Which only makes it that much more ironic.

I wonder how many of these callbacks to Act 1 are the result of Hussie doing the commentary for the Homestuck book and remembering various plot-points and one off jokes.

People wanted transcripts of chatlogs and stuff, so you can see them all HERE. Follow that blog and you will eventually know and love these characters. (God knows I don't (Yet!)) It starts of very slow because I don't have much experience doing this sort of thing, but I kinda fell into the groove about a half an hour in.

Dirk Strider himself. He's running around and giving him a fist bump nigh-simultaneously.

Well, he did say his methods were rather more subtle than the Handmaiden's (and, by extension, her successor's).
