Let's be honest: we're all just passing time until A Fun Day For KC Green comes out. In the meantime, this looks like it might be fun.

You don't just critique a DM's adventure before it even starts, that's just bad form. Do you have any idea how much time does it take to put the whole thing together?

Tollymain posted:like 5 minutes, if they're doing it right Even if the whole thing is just going to be a hack n' slash slaughterfest, you've still got to create interesting encounters that manage to be challenging without murdering the characters the moment they step through the first door. Ideally you should have at least one encounter that highlights the abilities of each of the PCs. If you want to do an halfway decent job, you should explain what exactly your dungeon is and consider that when you pick its inhabitants it: the ruin of an old, cursed abbey is going to have a very different layout and menagerie than a series of caverns where a family of dragons has taken residence. If you want to graduate from "decent" to "good", I'd say you need at least a couple of non-combat encounters (cave-ins, gorges, curses, surrendering orcs that spark moral debates between the thief and tha paladin...) and, most importantly, sweeping descriptions of the place, with its unmoving air and claustrophobic darkness, filled either with bizarre rock formations or granite statues of forgotten kings.

I dunno about Dave but we can already tell that this writer isn't smart enough to write Rose. Unless her seer powers are telling her that there's going to be something whimsically amusing about this particular dungeon

Although to be fair, "Droll" could easily be a synonym for "stupid" in this setting

"How droll" is a pretty good sarcastic put-down for someone being very dry. I always enjoy seeing stuff that happened during the three-year journey, so I'm willing to cut this Paradox Space some slack until we see another few pages.

It warms my hosed up retard heart to say that this is actually a good Paradox Space. It's funny, and made me LOL (Laugh out loud) and might even be funny for two more pages.

Those do all feel like the characters that those players would roll up, so kudos there. Terezi having an undead crab sandwich ready for Karkat is also right on the money.

This is the second role playing arc that is shaping up to be pretty good. Maybe this is the real well they should be going to instead of the KC Faces.

Or, more likely, the writer forgot about the "drunk" thing, and the writing improved for it.

or keeping things 100% canon and perfectly aligned with the source material is actually a really insufferable way to go about making these things.

I can't loving believe this. A fanmade semi-official non-canon Homestuck internet comic straying minutely from the Homestuck canon... is this what we've been reduced to? LOLling at loving non-canon poo poo? loving disgusting.

Alcoholics aren't always drunk all the time (though some surely are). It's the same way Terezi's playing a game with the group rather than soaked in Faygo and Gamzee's face paint. I also sympathize with Terezi at the end there, I've had more than one game session broken up because everyone got distracted by a movie or started showing each other youtube videos or something.

I felt like this comic could have gone on for at least several more pages that filled with goofy RPing(and more arguing) between the characters before quitting. It just feels like a funny set-up and then ends abruptly. To be honest I wish this comic went on for two weeks than the 100dmuseum one.

I suspect the author couldn't come up with content to fill an actual game. I'd rather it end here a bit abruptly than get drawn out for several pages of not being funny. As it is we got a drat good Paradox Space.
