Well That Was Unexpected Thread II: Now with 230% more lasers!

[Emperor Ing]

That's what Sawdust is for

So I was looking through some DnD spells and I found this interesting one, Brain Spider. Mind affecting spell that lets you read thoughts of up to 8 people. Then I saw the Material Component and I just couldn't resist.

Hey, I can make comics for my own amusement too ya know!

Comic 295 is up. A bit more development on WTF is with Kayl. (I'll give you a hint, at one point someone did guess correctly )

Also you'll notice a tiny text bubble error in panel 1. Inkscape was glitching and it wouldn't let me fill it in, i'll see if I can fix that later.

I'll take another guess. Kayl was already a dragon or dragonoid?

[Elder Wraith]

Epic-level exposition detected!

[Emperor Ing]

1) Im not saying anything
2) Dragonnoids are a homebrew race I made of dragonlike beings. They're almost identical to dragons except for their relative stunted size, bipedal posture, and they don't grow past Medium sized. The same way that Rand and Marnia are a homebrew scaleyfolk race (so they're not lizardfolk.)

Comic 296 is up. I had a bit of fun making this one.

Heh, interesting way to put in some expos into the comic.

[Green-Shirt Q]

Last two comics have been really good. Great storytelling. Glad that has (probably) been explained (I mean, for all we know, she could be lying, but this sounds pretty probable).

Keep up the good work, Rand.

[sean o the dead]

i agree. great work, Rand, looking forward to more!

[Emperor Ing]

I had the idea for Comic 295 for a VERY long time, however 296 was a bit of a random idea that came to me the next day.

The Major's Arsenal 6 is up.

...

well...Comic 297 is up, we're coming close to the end of the chapter.

"How could this possibly get any worse"...The literary forbidden words.

Also, I'm slightly surprised that in the bastard sword review, there was no reference to it being a bastard. I guess that would be too easy a connection, wouldn't it.

Also...

Guest Strip from Smooth Moves

I would like to clarify that this is an error. This is a guest strip from The Q's Comic Review.

[Emperor Ing]

Fix'd. You were running 2 comics at the time so I had no way of knowing.

And Comic 298 is up. Not really a comic that continues on the storyline, more of a mini gag.

And with that Chapter 5 (I think) is done. I was kind of hoping to end it at 300 for obvious reasons but I can't think of a comic 299 and comic 300 idea that would make sense for it to take place on the same chapter, so we're just leaving it there. So i'm going on haitus for the next week as per tradition.

Also, in order to make an adequate (and extremely late) anniversary strip, i'd really appreciate it if everyone could jot down some non-storyline based questions you'd like some of my characters to answer, either questions about their backstory, advice to real life problems or any of the like.

Nice detailed background.

[Emperor Ing]

I tried, if I added any more details Inkscape would implode.

Chapter 6 is up, so that means Comic 299 is up.

What's Rand angry at?

[Emperor Ing]

Well considering he has to concentrate on a spell he's not really casting for 48 hours, even after a few minutes you'd probably be pissed off too.

Comic is up.

Comic 301 is up. I love making 4 panel comics.

And the reason it's a sprite comic is because I felt like it. Inkscape is working fine, computer problems are minimal, I just wanted to make a sprite comic.

Also, I made this. It's the first 6 panels of an incomplete version of Comic 301 that I wasn't able to finish due to...blocks. Or it just was a crappy comic. -_-

...or maybe it is complete I dunno.

Comic 301 Alternate is up in the Extras section.

Questions? Comments? Critique?

[memnarch]

I like the alt comic better for some reason.

[sean o the dead]

i agree. the alternate made more sense.

[Emperor Ing]

Okay, due to popular demand Comic 301 alternate will now be Comic 301 and vice versa. I still like the 4-panel comic 301 though. :P

Comic 302 is up. This time there's only 1 version of the comic and it's in my regular style(s). It's post valentines day and love is still in the air.

Panel 4, missing part of a speech bubble.

[Emperor Ing]

Wait a sec, you notice the subtle missing arrow that's supposed to be pointing to Kayl in panel 4 but not the obviously incomplete bubbles in Panel 3?

fix'd

Also, I don't know if you noticed but in this comic i've laid out some clues as to what Kayl's gender might be.

[Emperor Ing]

Damnit people I need comments! How else am I gonna make the comic not suck?

Comic 303 is up.

COMMENTS?!

[memnarch]

Kayl should be ok, provided she's still got her teleport armor on and the camera moves away.


Good job with the perspective.

[Green-Shirt Q]

Also, I don't know if you noticed but in this comic i've laid out some clues as to what Kayl's gender might be.

Don't we already completely know what her gender is?

[Mad Mask]

Don't we already completely know what her gender is?

I believe that by showing her discomfort with being loved by Torn, Randomizer makes link with the traditional homophobic masculinity of American culture. Therefore, she's mentally "male" because she doesn't like Torn's love of her.

Yeah, but women can also have discomfort of men's "love", too.

[sean o the dead]

i like mad mask's theory, though i have no idea how you can be "mentally male."

is kayl turning back into an elf somehow related to Powers and Xeno's fight?
