It'd be funny to see a character very deliberately do this to get out of predestination. Like, Rose sees Lord English killing Jade in a vision, so she very meticulously constructs a Lord English costume and gets Jade to pantomime her own death in exactly the manner that the vision showed her.

This flash was incredibly awesome and seeing the B2 kids adventuring around their incredibly hosed up sesion rekindled my desire to work out a Homestuck tabletop RPG system. I remember that some people were doing something similar via the internet a few months ago - doing some kind of Homestuck RPG - so does there exist some material there that I could use as a starting point? Obviously it would be preferable not to start from scratch on account of how drat...Homestucky it would have to be.

If someone could help me out I would be eternally grateful!

I would play the poo poo out of a homestuck Fiasco.

It even involves rolling a massive handful of dice, which was one of Hussies qualifications for a Bona fide homestuck rpg experience.

Eh, most situations where donations are going to be used anyway can be benefited by a kickstarter. The idea being that people are more willing to chip in cash when they know they'll get the cash back if the whole amount isn't reached.

The only downside being the percentage Kickstarter takes.

Don't get me wrong, I get why they're doing it, and if I were in their shoes I'd probably do it too. But isn't the story behind the first game that the game was the result of a bunch of college dudes getting drunk and loving around? Taking donations for something building on that just sounds silly, as valid as it may be.

ATMOSPHERE 500 seats, three levels, three bars, one chaotic mess.

So he's been tearing pages out of the book in order to leave a trail for himself.

Odd that the pages aren't blowing away. Dunes usually imply wind. So I guess there's no wind wherever he is. Judging by the black sky, it seems the planet he's on is now inside the black hole he created?

They're making a sequel, not "going big". And yes, I do think that getting people to pay you to make a sequel to a game you came up with while drunk is inherently silly. :colbert:

Not saying it doesn't make sense or that it's dumb/entitled/whatever, just that the whole thing is kind of silly in the "holy poo poo this is actually happening" sense. I never expected the second chapter to come out ever, for one.

This is not a planet in the Medium; this is the actual mysterious planet in space that they were living on that orbits the massive red supergiant. This planet itself may have moved to the Medium, of course, but it is not one of Sburb's Lands of X and Y.

I mean, yes, it's the same planet. But that doesn't preclude sburb retroactively making it also his sburb land.

It would explain the statues.

Villain characterization incoming.

This is actually pretty interesting. Sort of a narrative reminder that Caliborn is just one of the players, albeit the biggest problem case we've encountered so far. Assuming no funny business about Caliborn becoming Lord English, it's actually a little surprising to see the big bad monster villain being put on the same level as the dozens of troubled teens we've met before. Scary skull monster Lord English can inspire some dread and erase souls, but unless he does something to stand out Caliborn's just hanging out on the jerk end of the player spectrum with the Amporas and the Makaras.

Admittedly we'd already met him as a petulant player through Calliope, but this looks like he's very explicitly being made one of the player-characters.

Wait, wait, wait, loving, wait. How the hell does this fit in with the narrator-insert thing that's been going on with Doc Scratch/Hussie/Calliope's fanfic?

Giving us power over the story's BBEG when I thought him taking over the narrative in Hussie's stead was going to be the thing?

Ahhhh, my head!
