rocketrobot posted:Dude is straight up racist. It's really obvious in his Dragonlance work, The Rise of Solamnia. I never read that. What I'm thinking of mostly is the Moonshae series, and the sheer density of crazy poo poo that happens there. There's a chapter early on I've been meaning to dig up and submit to one of those bad-sex-scene mockery boards.

I knew I was going to get them eventually so might as well do it now. Rich is not ok, he is better. He's a good man and deserves my money.

I can imagine a younger Eugene Greenhilt, drunk and screaming at the sky "I'm not impressed, I've read the I of BECMI, you phonies!'

Julia’s non-response to Roy’s “never believed you were too stupid” makes me think that she has believed for a long time that Roy thinks like Eugene, but has been hiding it behind civility. This might be the start of a moment where she recognizes that Eugene was a pretty big poo poo to both of them.

Honestly, I'm torn between her non-reaction being either "I can't believe this jerk rear end brother thinks I don't care about him" or "Wait, really, he never thought I was dumb?"

So this means Roy told Julia about the Snarl and the endless destruction/recreation? That must have been a serious mindfuck for her.

Most webcomics are really neither of those things, and he admits his own is a mix of both. Of course that was in the same answer he said he doesn't read other webcomics, so I guess he's still going on a working knowledge of print comics.

A rare instance of good-dadhood. I guess Julia's getting a quick lesson in the consequences of all that apathy she had earlier.

2,153 patrons. I wonder what the total is? I went in for a lot more than the $2, since I can afford it and I've got so much out of his strip over the years.

Parahexavoctal posted:Not just fine - he's also answering questions. those questions posted:Especially now; there are very, very few new characters slated to appear in this final book—even the ones that are appearing “on panel” for the first time have been referenced obliquely before. This sounds like there's going to be one or more characters appearing for the first time "on panel" who have been referenced before. So who are we finally going to see? Most of the obvious suspects (Serini, Redcloak's niece, maybe the Eastern gods or Kraagor) have appeared before in crayon drawings or prequel books, but maybe he's not counting that as "on panel"? Otherwise, pedantic answer, the MitD hasn't appeared yet outside of magical darkness.

Daikloktos posted:Adding to that, in the commentary from print version of the Dwarf arc he said there was going to be a character showing up who had a single panel appearance up until now. The forumgoers who love counting that sort of thing went wild, finally proving useful. I reread On the Origin of PCs recently, and now I'm personally banking on the two epic-level characters Durkon recruited for the Order of the Stick, before turning them down in favor of Roy's gaggle of misfits.

Xykon's command to the MitD hasn't played out yet and certainly seems like a potentially significant factor.

Most webcomics are really neither of those things, and he admits his own is a mix of both. Same here, especially in light of Scott McCloud's whole thing about the Infinite Canvas, and stuff like MSPaint Adventures that would be unrecognizable at best in print. While it's true that most webcomics are merely "comics, but on the web", there really is a different toolset that comes with the medium.

The Question IRL posted:So not to make this an extended de-rail, but is it just me or is it kind of obvious that Minrah is supposed to be a Transgender woman? From what what Rich has said about how he writes, I suspect the answer is "it doesn't matter what her secret is." Can you interpenetrate it that way? Sure, but 'supposed to' seems unlikely. e: Thanks, autocorrect. Cuntellectual fucked around with this message at 01:43 on Mar 19, 2020 |

I think more specifically it's "If her secret matters to the story, it will come up as part of the story. If it doesn't, it's whatever makes sense to you." Like, he made sure to point out that V's kids were adopted, because no part of the story requires V to be in a heterosexual marriage.

I don't know how Belkar of all people is going to end up with the most heart-wrenching death in the series, but I feel confident in saying it at this point.

Didn't we have a moment like this in one of the previous books, where Roy tried to tell someone about the promise he extracted from his dad to never visit his mom's home in the afterlife, only to get interrupted?
