Is 1181 the end of the book?
Seems like a good ending, the increased frequency of strips slowed down, perhaps while Rich (our patron saint) is getting the book layout ready.
Thoughts?Ancient gamer slowly rising from torpor, please forgive my ignorance of these modern times.

Re: Is 1181 the end of the book?
We're probably Close to the end of the book, but we haven't seen what Haley and Elan are up to at the temple, and we will probably get some sort of dramatic reveal for the very last strip of the book. My Money is on Team Evil finding the Gate, but I have been surprised in the past.

Re: Is 1181 the end of the book?
We have like five pages left, one of which will mostly be a splash page. From the pre-order info, I expect Rich will get us there by the end of this month.

Re: Is 1181 the end of the book?
Put me down for two comics totaling 3-4 pages at this point. I think we are very near the end. If nothing else, printing is a bit of a long process, so things will need to be done quite soon if Ookkoodook is going to have them December 2nd. Of course Rich could finish and delay posting, but I think it's more likely things get posted as they are done.
In any event, I'm sure we'll get something more than 1181 to end this book (the last panel is nice and all, but if this were an ending page, that panel would be at least a half page).

Re: Is 1181 the end of the book?
I feel like it will be obvious when we hit the end of this book. It's possible the last page is without a cliffhanger or foreboding thought, but I doubt that.

Re: Is 1181 the end of the book?
Each one of us, alone, is but a drop in the sea
Our powers pale compared with the great heroes
Our battles don’t hit theheadlines or shake the earth
But they are few, can’t be everywhere, and we, many
So, when the world or universe needs saving, they come
But when people needs saving, we are the ones to appear
We're underdogs, but we rise up to the challenge to be heroes.

Re: Is 1181 the end of the book?
Quite possible. On the other hand, we haven't seen what Haley and Elan have been doing during the denouement, so we might get a Quick check-in with them. Don't quite know what it would be, but on the other hand it would have been easy showing them drinking with Roy and Belkar so maybe they have their own thing coming up. We will see I guess.

Re: Is 1181 the end of the book?
The longer it takes for Rich to release strip 1182, the more I'm thinking that 1182 is going to be the last strip of the book...

Re: Is 1181 the end of the book?
My feels are for a splash page with lien and ochul dead with Xykon talking about terminating the roaches or something.

Re: Is 1181 the end of the book?
First off, why would Lien and O-Chul be killed off? What would that do whatsoever and how could it not feel like a meaningless death.
Second off, why would he the roaches? They only do minor structural damage to the fourth wall, he’s tolerated them hanging around
Spoiler: SODfor the past 30 years
I doubt he’d kill them now, if you’re using some metaphorical language make sure it’s not easily applicable to them doing something else.Arrrgh, here be me extended sig!

Re: Is 1181 the end of the book?
Sorry was waking up. Nah, Xykon called Ochul and Lien roaches. I hope it's not that, but I think that's the only kind of splash page that could make my jaw drop.

Re: Is 1181 the end of the book?
If you think of it as a possibility it won’t make your jaw drop, I think that there seems to be a 0% of it being true (much like Minrah dying), so it would make my jaw drop, but it won’t happen so it doesn’t matter
In a mostly off topic tangent: My only jaw drops have been Roy’s death and the reveal of the more than two worlds (Durkon and Nale’s deaths in BRiTF would have been but they were spoiled) all the other surprises were just surprises, because I didn’t have the time to think of any possibilities that could happen, while those were so out of left field that I couldn’t have thought of it if I tried.Arrrgh, here be me extended sig!

Re: Is 1181 the end of the book?
My guess is that this book ends with a splash panel showing Xykon and the rest of the baddies looking at the final gate in all its glory, figure it'll be a good way to convey just how dire the situation in book 7 will be.

Re: Is 1181 the end of the book?
The end of the book will be blatantly obvious. I bet it will also coincide with a long Christmas vacation for the author. One gets the impression that the comic is a chore to him these days.
How to turn off these annoying .sigs:
- Edit your profile options.
- Scroll down to "Visible Post Elements".
- Uncheck "Show Signatures".
- Save changes.
- Enjoy a much less cluttered and noisy forum.

Re: Is 1181 the end of the book?
It'll be done before then, given the dates listed with the pre-order. I do agree that he deserves a vacation, however much we're jonesing for our next comic fix.

Re: Is 1181 the end of the book?
And I will continue to argue against this, mainly because if Kraagor’s Gate’s defenses simply stall them for a week it will feel incredibly ineffectual, especially since the first two took months and the defeat of an epic caster, the third took an entire army and defeat of an epic paladin, the fourth was defeated by the most powerful spell we’ve seen and for the OOTS to get to it they had to fight off a team of near-epic enemies.
If it will be blatantly obvious, what will it be? I had a lot of options written in 1180’s thread but all they were was a bunch of random people and places who could be involved.Arrrgh, here be me extended sig!
