OK, I got talked into reading this by a few people on the goon Dominions 5 discord, and have been slowly binging it, finally caught up.

My guess: There will be some sort of reset or time travel shenanigans, because the wise old Zoss-y Alison K6BD that ominously showed up at one point needs to happen somehow.

quantum mechanical processes aren't deterministic (except when they are) (?)

Technically, if locality doesn't hold up, it's possible for us to live in a universe that is entirely deterministic, with quantum mechanics still as is.

It looks like a proto-Zoss. Same complexion, eye color, and earrings. Could also be Zaid, who may in turn be a proto-Zoss.

Zaid being Zoss would certainly be a funny twist.

Hm... Which would give new meaning to the old Zoss-y looking Alison from a while back.

Considering the wording of the failed heirs and the "he who masters the wheel" stuff, I wonder if the failed heir is the 'new' Zoss, moulded into being 'Zoss' by mastering the wheel much like seeing the wheel moulded Jadis and to a lesser degree Alison into what they are now.

He's left to "do the cleanup" (end the universe) after whatever it is that Zoss pulls off, which carries... interesting implications. I already mentioned the other scenario I have in mind, but the whole thing doesn't really mesh with "Jag whacks heir, Zoss resets". It would place all narrative weight on Jagganoth as the ultimate centerpoint of everything, and he's clearly... not.

Yeah, I was getting some serious Dominions 5 "Rejoice!" vibes from this.

I wonder if the goon who was making the K6BD mod for it is still working on it. He was mostly finished with two demiurge factions last I checked.

If I had enough skill and guts to write K6BD/Glorantha fanfiction that lives up to the standards of both, I'd make my own setting.

Knowing Glorantha fans, you'd just have to write the word "Eurmal" and you'd already have an audience.

A goon was making a K6BD mod for Dominions 5. IIRC Mammon's and Mottom's factions were mostly completed, but the goon had something come up irl and had to pause work on the mod.

pity that the engine doesn't support some total dumbass punchiness action for full glory

Thugs/heroes and supercombatants/monsters do sometimes enact hilarious action movie poo poo. In one game, I had a disgraced crab general who lost all his shrimp soldiers, and later redeemed himself by single-handedly holding off an entire enemy army by beeing too stupid to realize he should run away, and too much of a giant crab man to die to trivial things like people trying to stab him to death. Admittedly, my giant network of assassins, astral duelists, and mind hunters that prevented the other player from bringing in any wizards who could try to kill said crab with magic instead of stabbing probably helped. :v:

Maya criticizing her dead children instead of talking about how much she loves or misses them, especially that she was criticizing that they were too happy and loved her too much, is a great character moment for her.

I'm not going to try to guess what Maya's deal is, but I'm like that when I'm talking about my late great-uncle. I dearly loved that old man, he was more of a grandparent to me than my actual grandparents are, but when I talk about him I usually bring up the little annoyances and weird quirks of his because anything else just bring up too much emotion and I just don't have the right words to talk about it.

Meti states herself in the manual she has only one apprentice, so yeah, it seems likely it was written just for her.

2. I am Meti, of no house but myself. In my 108th year I am surrounded by fools. My compatriots cling obsessively to their destiny, and my only apprentice is an idiot speck of a girl with more talent for eating than skill with the blade. Therefore I have decided to die drowning in the boiling gore of my enemies, of which there are many.

Fair enough.

To be completely honest, the vibe I got from a lot of KSBD is that it's (alongside most works in the general vicinity of the genre) heavily poisoned by Nietzche. I didn't comment much on it because I'd like to first see where it's going with the end of the comic before leaving a, for lack of a better word, comparative review.

Hey, I could be making this up, but was there a discussion in this thread comparing Incubus to a type of character from uh... another comic? a manga? a tabletop RPG?

Basically a person who had a chance at true enlightenment and rejected it and was all the more dangerous because of that? Does anyone remember that, and if someone does, can you point me in that direction?

Sheng Seleris, the setting is Glorantha

e: the archetype is called Occluded iirc, realizes that the world is an illusion and then goes "and i'm gonna be in charge of it"
