Try again, Amanda. Belated note, but I am extending the deadline for guest strips to December 15 and projecting my hiatus to begin December 21 for two weeks. That will let me double-dip my off time with holiday time 😀
Today's edition of the Secret Commentary is empty, because Dave failed to come up with something for it.
To my fellow Americans, happy Black Friday! I hope your brought chainmail and a good sword with you as you venture to market. >:D (Fixed an issue with Selkie’s dialogue coming out of Amanda’s mouth)
I wasn't originally going to have Todd flinch back quite so dramatically in the last panel, but after the reactions to yesterday's strip where he storms forth upon Andi I thought maybe a little bit of counter-storming would be fun. Also, I wanted to with "that" dialogue choice but felt the pictograph cuss words wouldn't work in this moment, so I went this route. I suppose you could just assume she's saying "Rock" and Todd's head is hiding the short leg of the R.
I made a meta-writing decision not to fully recap Amanda's past with the Sandersons because the readers have already heard it, so I figure the details can be gone into off-camera a bit. Flows quicker this way.
Just a quick note, I am still accepting guest strips and guest art for the two-week hiatus I plan to take after this arc finishes. Plenty of time left if you wish to submit one! -EDIT- I’m removing the previous[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Alternate dialog for the last panel had Amanda saying "God, be quiet for once in your stupid life". I decided the current version was funnier (comparatively, anyway)
Just a little dressing-down. Reminder: I am currently accepting guest strip submissions for a short two-week hiatus I will be taking after this arc conludes. Deadline is December 1st.
Theo's suggestion is a Grand Melee. Sharpen your blades, polish your armor, thump your squire 'twixt the eyes to cure sloth.
Just a quick announcement. After thinking about it for a bit, I’ve decided that after this story arc concludes, I’d like to take a brief hiatus from updating. I’d be spending this time working on building a buffer of strips,[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I’ve enjoyed this little piece of the arc with the board game I made up. Thanks to everyone who gave their thoughts and feedback on it. It’s a fun idea. Some of you suggested I work on making it a[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
If Treasure of Dragon Mountain were a real game, I think the annoyance factor of getting shaken off the mountain every so often would need a lot of balance tweaking to prevent, well, exactly the scenario Theo just pulled here (effectively hard-resetting the whole session). Defensive cards like the Lasso are good, but player mobility and speed of ascension up the mountain would need to be factored around the periodic shaking. Not going anywhere with this, just a thought.
Good job, all y’all who called the Scorpion Maneuver. :3
There is no in-game mechanic that says "You punch the goat in the face", but when you successfully win a Monster Space there's no harm in narrating the victory a bit.
