I just realized Liv Tyler was with Rose and Dave when they created the green sun. Does that mean she's dead now too?

I'm betting that all of the kids will have names that are 11 letters long, with 4 in the first name and 7 in the last. Lalonde and Strider already fit, and Crocker fits too, so I'm thinking J will have a new last name.

Also I can't wait until the kids meet their guardians-as-kids. The antics with all eight of them are bound to be good.
I think it's going to be J___ Clemens.

I hope he eats the poster before anyone else can see it in some attempt to assuage this nightmare.

Not even just captchalogue it and refuse to bring it out. Just eat it.
Technically if he does captchalogue it no one would be able to get it out since if he still has the encryption modus.

Haha, the lyrics of this thing are half in Latin and half in Quenya. I thought that cover font looked rather tengwaresque. It's massively kitschy but I love it. I'm the turbonerd, it's me. (Although not enough of one to really judge how well the Latin lyrics square with the chosen classicist pronunciation, say.)
Having taken a little bit of Latin, the only problem I found pronunciation wise was that vento should be pronounced wento.

This is a song about the Warhammer of Zillyhoo, greatest of weapons. "Forged in fire by the smiths of Pipplemop, commissioned by the sage Lord of the Wozzinjay Fiefdom in the Realm of the Snargly Fruzmigbubbins"; majestic, poweful, and wielded only by the bravest warriors (and Gamzee), muses have sung of it throughout the universe: that a legendary hero would inherit the great warhammer and use it to smite down evil in all its bahahahahaha oh god i just wrote a big, totally serious song for this thing

(click it!)
As much as I love this song, I think it might work better as the theme for HEPHAESTUS (Dave's Denizen), either way amazing job.

Why do I like the term "Bad Fanfiction Zone" so much?
You lock this door with the key of imagination. Beyond it is another dimension: a dimension of incest, a dimension of noncon, a dimension of crackfic. You're moving into a land of neither consistency nor substance, of random things and bad ideas. You've just crossed over into... the Bad Fanfiction Zone.

Gonna post this poo poo right now before anything happens. Vriska made John fall asleep so she could make Tavros jealous enough to propose to her.
I am throwing my literal hat into the metaphorical ring of plot guesses here.
That might work, since it would also explain why Tavros inexplicably fell asleep right in front of the ring.

So what I'm getting from this update is that Sburb's single-player campaign has a broken difficulty curve and you can't beat it properly unless you're playing co-op.

You can tell it never got out of beta, huh
I more see as something similar to Earthbound's copy protection where tons more enemies would spawn.

The question then would be, what would happen when she used the code? Would she get (a) nothing, (b) a fake magic-less or detrimentally enchanted imitation juju (like a fake Amulet of Yendor) or (c) something else entirely?
My guess it that it will create the items that eventually become Caliborn's and Calliope's respective JuJu's.

Trickster Dad is regular Dad, except that he wears a silly and colorful tie. He's really cutting loose.
This is pretty likely, since Trickster mode seems to remove most of the person's inhibitions. I'm willing to bet that Dad without inhibitions would be pretty much the same as normal Dad. Also he'll probably have a small cake on his head.

I'm more interested to see what this powerup actually does in regards to Heart, Hope and Void powers, now that we've seen what it does to a Hero of Life.
Well to be fair Dirk just broke Jake's heart.

Edit: Also thinking more about this, it's kinda fitting that Dirk doesn't become happy go lucky considering his class. Since he's the prince of heart he breaks everyone's spirits in effect becoming a major downer.

It did. It is 100% canon. It also lasted longer than what we were shown. Much longer.

They will probably all remember it in vivid details.

Actually since the kids probably aren't here yet it couldn't have lasted more than a few hours.
Edit: Also it's kinda funny that the final big battle thing is coming up and all of the alpha kids probably have huge hangovers.

If, indeed, all four kids are to kill themselves on their Quest Crypt beds, we've got several wrinkles that hopefully won't cause huge problems:

- Previous Crypt godtiers have all involved Green Sun -powered fire. We don't know if that's a coincidence or a requirement.
- Aradia, Dave, and Rose all God-tiered when their dreamselves died on their Quest Crypt. Jake is his normal self.
- The last time Jane's dreamself died, it Lifey-thing'd itself back to life. Would this happen again?

One more problem.
-Whenever people go god tier they go to the battlefield, but CD blew up the battlefield.

I'm theorizing that Lord English is no single person. Instead in every universe Lord English appears in Caliborns will affect somebody, Jack Noir in A2 and Doc Scratch in the B2 case. Effectively meaning that Lord English is no one single person.

Bobulus posted:

That would be funny, but for a more practical attempt, couldn't you just the Dave-like player 7x attacks per turn, but a 7x susceptibility to AoE attacks and such? It would be overpowered, but a lot of Sburb abilities would be, and you impose an ability cost on it with date points and such.

Edit: whoops, didn't see that addition page.

Another neat thing that could be done with this is that each version of the player further into that players respective future could each have a slightly greater resistance to hit since each one has slightly more experience in dealing with the attack.

Though the main issue with this is that it would restrict the time player too much ultimately making every one of them pretty much a knight of time. And in particular it would make the knight of time all the less unique and the uniqueness of each class aspect combo is kinda what makes the system interesting in the first place.

Guys, the juju was just dropped. What if it survived the explosion? What if we ended up with four god-tier trickers? :ohdear:
