Told Point Blank
>>97886323I'm still waiting for whatever is supposed to make Nale's return worthwhile. Other than just padding the comic out so Rich doesn't have to get a job in this economy, of course.
>>97886423As always, the Linear Guild is a foil. They're the only player on the world stage that is operating entirely for petty reasons. Everyone else has a higher calling, some awareness of what's at stake, or a reason to give a shit. Nale is coming at this the exact way the party came at the first few Gates, in just as clumsy a manner.
>>97886566Yes it's a comic about them.
>>97886566Well, duh.
>>97886323Never really liked Serini, and this comic just keeps reminding me why. The “old hag that berates everything you do” gag got old after the Order kicked her ass, and it’s getting more old than Xykon’s bony butt now.
>>97886323oh shit is Nale a demon now?is durkon still a vampire?are they still in hueco mundo?
>>97886943Yes, no that got fixed like a decade ago, and no but they are still on the boat
>>97886949when the comic finally ends I'm gonna go back and read it all start to finishdid they ever convert to 5e or are they still in 3.5? I 'member like the first joke in the whole comic being "guys, we 3.5 now LMAO!"
>>97886958The good news is that even with the atrocious release cadence when you read it as an anthology the comic has extremely good pacing, though there's no getting around the multiple decades of webcomic trends causing strange eddies. They're still on 3.5, though there was a fun non-canon side comic where they fought their 4e dopplegangers. The direct references to game mechanics and the overall structure have dropped off as the plot has picked up, so it also matters less.
>>97886977cool TY. Man there are so many webcomics I used to read that I just... don't, anymore.>Girl Genius>Gunnerkrigg Court>Questionable Content man that one got REALLY shit after the robot fight club arc finished thoughThe more I look back the more I'm glad my first webcomic Bob and George finished its run, wrapped, and went to look back over what it'd done from a cliff overlooking the city, as befits a megaman credits sequence.
>>97886943>hueco mundoOh boy, that brings back memories.
>>97887008>Gunnerkrigg CourtI can't fucking believe this is still going. I've kept up and I'll probably re-read when it's finished, but I think I'm going to come to a conclusion like "drop it when Tony shows up".
>>97887008Girl Genius is out of the castle through a series of side castles and onto another castle which is on fire.It helps the Foglios are old hands at comics and can actually pace things when read over a monthly/yearly basis. Pointless adventure sidestories aside.
>>97887008>Questionable ContentThat one's good again and by "good" I mean there's a googirl with fat tits and a drawfag that frequently puts them in lascivious positions.
More and more I feel convinced that Serini's going to be the one to destroy the Gate out of spite against everyone else.
>another wasted strip>>97886708She reminds me of Kreia
>>97886977>there was a fun non-canon side comic where they fought their 4e dopplegangersWhere was this
>>97887189Not Nietzschean at all.
>>97887199
>>97887212where do you read this
I'm sick of Serini's constant bitching
>>97886323What are the little red people floating around Nale supposed to be?
this comic is nearly a bigger meme than grrm or gaben (meaning hl3) in terms of just dragging on foreverthe story should have wrapped up ages agoeven fucking one piece is gonna wrap it up before oots at this rate
>>97887533wotc might actually pull out 6e D&D before this 3e-era comic wraps
>>97887499Souls from the fountain in the lower planes, they're powering him up and it's what turned him into a demon.
>>97887205Both are annoying cunts
>>97887269Going to my shelf and grabbing the book
>>97886977This anon is basically right, though the pacing definitely starts to drag in book 6, with unnecessary subplots and even a few filler strips. >>97886423This time Nale is here as an agent of the IFCC, not as his own man. The payoff to Nale's return is likely that he'll serve as the fall guy for whatever the three fiends' REAL plan is (I have a hunch, but w/e)
>>97886949The boat sailed off over a hundred comics ago now.
>>97887008Is darths&droids still active? Have they finished rpg-ing the original trilogy?
>>97888350Yup, they're now on the last of the Rey Sequels.
>>97888350It's how I am experiencing the sequel trilogy.
>>97888360Jesus i must have read it last time like...10-12 years ago, ending college
>>97888350I'm pretty glad that I dropped it at the end of episode III.
>>97888350Huh, I could swear I heard the guy died a year or 2 ago.
>>97887205>Kreia>NietzscheanShe's Max Stirner in space.
>>97887726Might?I'd assume it is certain at this point.
>I don't think can't heal
>>97889271Rich is in a rush, he doesn't have time to double check every phrase. He's living fast and furious.
>>97887008Rip to the whole Bob and George webring I used to read. Starslip, MS Paint Masterpieces, the like. Including the living horror that is Questionable Content. OotS is the last one left.
>>97889271Elan is concussed
>>97889373kek
>>97887008I remember I used to read Paranatural because the premise was interesting enough, but lost interest because the pacing was even worse than OotS's is and they spent over a year playing fucking Dodg-I mean Hitball.
>>97886559>They're the only player on the world stage that is operating entirely for petty reasons. Everyone else has a higher calling, some awareness of what's at stake, or a reason to give a shitXykon already fills that role, though.
>>97889670Fair, but I'd still distinguish that by saying Xykon doesn't care what's going on and thinks he's above it, Nale is getting involved without knowing the terms.
>>97889670It’s mostly the difference between someone trying to end the world to give a middle finger to the gods, and someone trying to end the world to get paid a hundred bucks. Nale doesn’t care about the world ending since he thinks he’ll get to live on in Hell with Sabine and be allowed to plan out his brutal petty vengeance against his dad and/or Elan. If that were threatened, he’d be coward enough to reconsider what he’s doing. Xykon wouldn’t. He’d hear that the structure of the universe is at stake and not just the world, and his plans wouldn’t change. He’d be willing to go down with the ship if it meant spiting the gods unless he gets something out of any acquiescence part, and possibly not even then.
>>97887008I still keep up with GG. It's still ok in my opinion although I really do wonder if the Foglios will keel over before it's done.
>>97886323You could have an entire tournament complete with rests and advertising between rounds in the time it'd feasibly take to say all those WORDS.
>>97889923And a half-time show or two, as well.
>>97889565>MS Paint Masterpiecesis that officially over? I thought it was just on a forever hiatus
>>97889861>Xykon wouldn’t. He’d hear that the structure of the universe is at stake and not just the world, and his plans wouldn’t change. He’d be willing to go down with the ship if it meant spiting the gods unless he gets something out of any acquiescence part, and possibly not even then.maybe, maybe notXykon might as well decide that he wants the world to continue so he can wreak havoc in ithe's the biggest wild card of them all, his actions are unpredictable
>>97890070I don't fucking know man, I stopped checking for updates after like three years of radio silence. It wasn't the first Bob and George sprite comic to just end without notice (RIP to Metroid Prime Third Derivative) though it might just be the last.
>>97886323Thog.
>>97889271thog got to him>>97890192damn he got there before me too
>>97890260>AM!Alright you got me motherfucker
