    Jon Good Loves You; it's a bit of an inside joke. The prequel, Roleplaying Experience? It takes place over a span of 20 years or so, ending right at the start of Murphy's Law proper. The sequel, Masters of Aequar? Takes place about nine years after the end of Murphy's Law.

    And by judge of character, what do you mean and what are you thinking?

    And by judge of character, what do you mean and what are you thinking?
    Hum.

    Well by judge of character I meant that I thought the cleric character who just appeared in Murphy's Law was genuine and would become some sort of foil for Janine that we'd come back to later, but this most recent update has Cyrus calling him "Uncle Alistair". The Alistair in the piece of writing with the noodles comes across as being... really not too nice... and thus if they were the same character I'd probably have got things a bit wrong with my guesswork. Another thing about the extract you posted in the fourth thread is that Alistair thinks about a boy and a girl and a sacrifice and there being not one but two and the girl being more cautious than the boy. If it were near enough to the end of the prequel the boy and girl could have been Cyrus and Lucille although they look like they're meant to be pretty young to me so it could be that they weren't really viable candidates for those roles...
    Also it kind of read like the albino guy might have been the boy... or like he was trying to protect the kids... too little to go on.

    Basically: not really sure what to think. I got the impression of someone at least slightly older than the cleric when I read the extract the first time though. I guess it could be a family name. Or they could be the same. Or you could have changed the names as you developed the plot more. Or they could be different characters with the same name by coincidence. Or it could be an elaborate ruse....

    Speaking of which, maybe the point of Janine's encounter was to get her to make the Divine Vow. Alistair's goal could have been removing her ability to cast magic, not killing Lucille and Cyrus. If he is a villain, I imagine him to be an honorable sort who wouldn't hurt a couple of kids, but would deprive someone of magic at a crucial moment. Or maybe it was the goal of someone the party hasn't run into yet.

    Or it could've been a freak coincidence and some big bad decides to make his move within those next 72 hours without any knowledge of the Divine Vow.

    *snort* Something happening that is extremely helpful to the villian by pure cosmic coincidence? Lunacy! =O


    Slightly less silly:
    Silver, do you know why Chekov's gun always fires? Because you were told it was loaded

    While everyday life is full of mundane, useless things that are just there to be there and are really unimportant to what you're doing at the time, everything put into a book or comic is there for a purpose, ranging from scene setting (the sounds of seagulls in a port) to making you laugh (marmalade on the kitchen table)

    The divine vow may have been there just to show an aspect of Janine's character, but considering how long it's going to last, it's probably going to come up for some other purpose.

    Well, I'm just guessing, here. For all I know, the only thing that could come of that vow is a gag based on the trials and tribulations of a character who has suddenly become something very like a superhero without the powers.

    No. It just jumped back as a "Meanwhile, back in drunk'sville". The spell itself doesn't take 72 hours to cast, it just you can't cast any spells afterwards for 72 hours.

    Actually, I'm reading an online web novel (Tales of Mu), in which certain diseases are cured by a potion that temporarily makes you undead, since, if your dead, the disease no longer can live in you. (it also makes a great morning after pill, apparently)

    I really want to know how an owlbear will be related to something happening in the strip. I'm thinking drunken shenanigans. Anyone else have a guess?
