World, Cup (OotS-style Fantasy)

[M@XWeru]

Yes, another one is coming up. It's almost done, but I'm having a hard time finding time to work on the comic right now.

I promise I'll tell you if I ever decide to give up.

Well, I got delayed even more (now there's a surprise) and didn't get to doing the thing that I wanted to do to completion. Maybe next week. Any longer than that and I'd have to go back to advancing the plot. O:

This page wasn't meant to be a standalone, but such is fate.

That he said he will directly say if he is canceling/stopping the comic?

Six days since you last posted.

Anti heroes went without updates for nearly six months. Calm down!

Six days where noone posted. This thread is dying and i will do anything in my (very small) power to hinder it from doing so.

You're not helping

You're not helping

well it got 8 post in very few hours this might catch m@x´s attention.

[CrimsonAngel]

Dude, stop it. This is getting kind of wierd.

It's just a webcomic.

[Savannah]

It doesn't need to catch his attention; he has said he has no intention of stopping and if he did stop he would tell us. He has a life outside of making this comic. You know how the Giant doesn't want us asking about OotS updates? It's likely because he doesn't want to be nagged the way you're nagging M@XWeru. That's why everyone's telling to you relax.

[M@XWeru]

Look, it's got nothing to do with attention. I look at the Fan Comics forum practically every day, but I haven't had the time to update this comic lately.

I really do appreciate that you like my comic, but posting in this thread is not going to make the updates come any faster. Also, If you complain about the slowness just before an update comes around, all that'll do is make me look like a desperate attention whore, which is not something that I want.

As I said last time, the next page is almost finished, and I'll tell you if the comic dies.

So please, stop posting to ask for more updates, and stop posting to complain about people asking for more updates.

What happened to 19?

What happened to 19?

My guess is that it was intentional.

[Ninjaman]

Yay new one. I love it. And i love the guys smile, looks like a selffish prince or something.

[smuchmuch]

I love the details in the background.
I guess it's the downside to having a large size category.

Oh yea now you say it those are pretty funny.

[M@XWeru]

Mastermind & Strife: Cough, ahem, yeah, about that... That thing I wanted to try turned out to be wa-ha-hay more time-consuming and difficult than I could deal with at the time, and was holding up the comic something terrible.

Smuch: One of the downsides. ;P

Ninjaman: Hee, that's not the guess I would've expected~

And just to prove that I'm really, truly, honestly back, here's another page, fresh from the printing press.

In this episode, our heroes learn of the many uses of a party wherein basically everyone is a god of social interaction.

Nice comics (surprise surprise)

I kind of wondered whether you'd planned to skip over #19 when you wrote #18 but the jokes at the beginning of #20 were solid enough to make me consider that having been "your plan from the beginning" as a possibility. Sounds like it wasn't really though.

And I noticed it more in #20 than in #21, but my, Richard Fortune's hair is hee-yow-je. I thought you'd actually given him a bigger head template to emphasise vanity for a little bit there with the grin and the hair...
Nice to see that the party's making some "friends" too. I wonder if the minotaur will notice the halfling hurtling out of the building? Kind of makes it look like a medium creature exclusive joint...

I liked what you did with the dialogue in the last panel, quite a smart effect (I realise it's been done before but that doesn't mean it's not good). Not sure what "second floor" means in this context mind; I've grown up aware of two systems - one that would have the second floor as the second floor from the ground (first floor at ground level, then you go up some stairs and you're on the second floor (one flight of stairs to climb/fall down)) and one that would have the second floor as the third floor from the ground (the floor at ground level is called the ground floor, the floor above that's the first floor, and the floor above that is the second floor (two flights of stairs to climb/fall down)) I tend to think in terms of the former system automatically but always ask for clarification since where I live the latter system seems to be prevalent. I guess in this case it doesn't matter a whole lot - she fell from the window of a floor that was at least one flight of stairs up, which is usually bad enough to be honest....

nice falling effect

How a lame page
I love it

[M@XWeru]

Eleanor:
My original plan *was* to skip #19, actually, but then I went and turned into into a massive project instead, sucking up loads of time and making everyone wait forever for nothing. It was a bad, bad idea. Might put it in later as a special "lost page" or some dumb crap like that, if I ever get to finishing it.

What does 'hee-yow-je' mean? Googled it, found nothing. I tried giving him a bigger head. Didn't turn out very well.

The place is rather medium-centric. It's part of the attraction (you'll soon see why) and it makes it easier to defend against jungle ogres. >.>

The second floor is one flight of stairs up. The punchline was that halflings are so short, it takes them forever to hit the ground even from a short fall. I guess it would have been funnier if she'd said, "Noo! We're ten feet uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuup..."

Super & Ninjaman: Thanks. :J

This sounds like the sort of approach I take to projects! I tend to get over involved in specific details until it takes over the whole project and I end up with nothing to show for it for ages. I also change my mind a lot. A lot. It's sort of due to being both a procrastinator and a perfectionist who happens to have quite a few ideas (occaisonally).

What does 'hee-yow-je' mean? Googled it, found nothing. I tried giving him a bigger head. Didn't turn out very well.

'Hem. That was my silly way of saying "huge" whilst trying to both a) overemphasise most of the sounds in the word and b) use as little of the original format of the word as possible. It seemed like it would be witty at the time. If I had a day job I probably wouldn't be wise to give it up to become a comedian!

I think the hair being so much bigger than his head is probably a better look than an actual massive cranium - the contents of his head are probably less voluminous than usual and the hair's a big priority.

I'd have been more likely to have 'got' it but that doesn't mean it would have been funnier. To be honest, my sense of humour is sophisticated enough that I was happy enough with the punchline being "heh: she chucked her out of the window with considerable force because of appearances... imagine the (lack of?) reprecussions!" although I did suspect I was missing part of the intended point.

I suppose a lot of d&d settings are likely to be pretty medium-centric given that it tends to be played by humans who gave themselves a medium template, suggesting that anything significantly larger or smaller was not the norm and that our own race is the default.

PS: I just noticed by the way that the ogres have proportionally smaller eyes (and I think probably just smaller eyes in general) than the medium sized human races. Nice touch. Will have to look at the OotS ogres to see if that was borrowed or "invented"...)
