I feel like Elan is kinda tricky. The bard class card is literally RG, but his illusions and healing focus seems like WU instead. Not sure if his dashing swordsman is more W or R tho.

Belkar loves murder, lording his power over others, and has no respect for life. Black/Red seems pretty reasonable, imo.

G/R also loves murder and lording its power, the difference is that they do it against the people that piss them off and they do it for fun (not because of their ambitions). Who does that sound like? Besides both red and green cannot stand blue. And who's blue in our group? yeah.

Depending on how "full party" is defined this becomes commically overpowered if you control a creature with Changeling. Even without that it's pretty ridicuous.

Any creature can only fill one role in the party. Like, if you have a Warrior Rogue it can either be the Rogue in the Party or the Warrior, not both. So if you want a full party with nothing but Changelings you need four on the board, not just one.

The really funny thing is that the party mechanic isn't even from the DnD set. The DnD set came out later.

I don't mind Serini but I do feel tired of this fight scene by now.

I am super tired of this fight scene by now but jeez, trying to look at it objectively it's a really, really cool fight scene with an antagonist that's honestly a lot of fun. It's going to fly by really quickly and be a great part of the collected book, but right now it seems specifically calculated to make it seem like it's taking forever haha -- the Order has been on top of things and working together, except every time it looks like they've won she's got another trick to prolong things, and she's actively splitting the party and pushing back the fight with Xykon (or Order of the Scribble infodump) that we've been teased with for so long (but not actually for that many pages).

It also feels a bit like it's a callback to the early strips a bit, getting back to the dungeon with a range of weird dungeon monsters, since it's the last chance for that.

Tbf it started as an internal coding that the players adopted, so it wasnt really meant for public use. But 30 years later its hard to try to replace it

You wouldn't want the epic level rogue fighting on her own turf with at least weeks of advance planning for this specific fight and party (and decades of planning generally) to be chumped in a few pages... As much as we all want to get to the good stuff.

This fight has gone on for less than 10 pages. That's barely even a scene, let alone one that's been dragging on.

homestuck was never actually "written for the archive reader" like hussie claimed, but k6bd and oots actually really are. that one infamous blunder doesn't negate that as complete works each of those books really does read smoothly, so there'll be way more people seeing it as intended than getting into slapfights while it's running
