    Unfortunately, it's hard to talk about this without giving spoilers given that people are getting caught up in archives, but I think that was a bit of a spoiler right there. At least it would have been for me at the time.

    ADDED: Ironically, in the latest update, we learn that McKenzie will still be talking about Praxis in updates that won't come out for a while.

    Now that it won't do you any good then, I'll point out that it's possible to download the entire Book 1 contents here in cbr format. Unfortunately, they pages don't seem to be divided into sessions, but it still might be much faster than going through the pages online. (It just dawned on me that it would be a good to post that. Actually it would be good to add to the OP, although I can't do it.) (And now I know that you would have already seen that, anyway.)

    OK, so here is what I thought would have been a spoiler:

    I really thought that "David", who was playing Blue Spirit, was really an AI created by Manny until it was revealed that it was Damien when Zuko was unmasked. If McKenzie could create Praxis, why couldn't Manny create an AI, too?


    And now, way out of order:

    I'm pretty sure that McKenzie really did delete Praxis. I would also bet that she has backups. And I also think she dumped Lex as a boyfriend and is a least thinking of Praxis as being a better alternative.


    And yeah, it's a pretty crazy world, isn't it. And the Book 1 has a foreword which talks about the characters being based on real people. Hmm. I really really hope there is a lot of exaggeration.

    Well, like the Darths & Droids cast, they definitely echo gamer archetypes that you'd expect from the canon characters (okay, D&D has Jim playing foil to Qui-Gonn's wisdom, Padmé's peaceful nature, and Han's competence, but you know, in general), and just like the canon characters end up exaggerated, it doesn't surprise me that the real-life gamer bases are also exaggerated. Terrifyingly.

    I don't think Rube is being a bad person, he's just playing the role he's been given, and playing it to the best of his abilities. Of everyone, save perhaps Damien in more recent comics, he's the one who gets most into character. Azula just so happens to be an unpleasant such and such, and was written that way by Damien. Note that Rube's much less antagonistic when DMing Damien's 'Zuko Alone' session.

    Well, it's not what he's doing IC, it's his OOC comments. Manny wants the game to be immersive, so he's making the players suffer when the characters do, and Rube is helping his brother. (It's a wonder Manny didn't throw a glass of ice water on Lex each time Sokko fell in the water while talking to the princess.) Nice people normally don't say things like this. That's pretty evil! And funny. As with the romance scenes in Darths and Droids, the distinction between what's IC and OOC is becoming very blurred at times. While OOC, Rube is acting evil, like Azula, at least during the current pages.

    I'm loving all of the "That's not how roleplaying works!"

    I'd argue that's still in character. Yes it's mean, no doubt about that, and hellishly cruel to use OOC information as IC ammunition, but I still read that as Azula rather than Rube. Note he refers to himself as one of the 'girls'. The party as a whole has a very shaky grasp of IC/OOC separation. The question then becomes 'Is Rube socially aware enough to know why he shouldn't do something like that, even if he is acting as the kind of person who would?' It looks like he very much isn't, or perhaps wasn't aware that Lex was unaware of the state of things. He drops that particular line of pressure after the linked page, after all.

    Speaking of IC/OOC separation. Lex's switch to being Sokka protecting Katara rather than himself protecting Mac is an interesting, though entirely understandable, method of coping enough to continue.

    The 'That's not how roleplaying works!' comments seem to come at really bizarre times, I personally loved the 'Roll for Dander'

    But Azula wouldn't be close enough to talk to them and when Rube said "girls" it was in quotes, so I'm taking it as OOC. (If it had been Azula, there would have been no need to quote "girls.") But yes, I agree that there is a very thin IC/OOC separation. To be clear, though, I view them all as good people who get a bit carried away with their gaming, so no I'm not making a moral judgement.

    Good catch!

    Now a question I have: Why does Katara seem to start the argument over who is the real McKenzie? Are we just supposed to assume that the argument had already been going on for a while before we switched back to her? Or was McKenzie so zonked out that she merely imagined that Mai had been claiming to McKenzie? My guess is that it's the first and I think the author has jumped into conversations mid-stream before.

    Mac and DJ are female, the rest are male. I believe they're just all friends, with Rube and Manny being brothers, the cast page is outdated, but does give some info.

    Shelby is also female.

    Recent pages suggest Lex thought He and Mac were dating. Shelby's response (to me) suggests that she also once thought the same.

    She's been up for over 26 hours, peoples thinking goes wonky after that amount of time. Manny's playing Mai as though she were Mac, which can't be helping. Note that Mac, despite her frequent protests about what is and isn't roleplaying, roleplays the least out of everyone. That's probably why Mai's personality is basically just 'This is Mac'. In contrast, Ty Lee's personality does not match Lex's. She's still pretty one note at this point, but Lex at least isn't just himself when 'roleplaying' (though there isn't a massive divide between his IC and OOC).

    Mai's behaviour may have triggered Mac's protests, which then gave Manny the impetus to actually have Mai claim to be Mac.

    Here is the cast page, which is accurate for Book 1. Mackenzie (I've been misspelling her name) is female, everyone else is male. Rube is Manny's brother. Praxis is Mackenzie's dice-rolling app that Mackenzie overclocked and messed with too much. The people, other than Rube, have been playing together for a while. There may or may not be something a little more going on between Mackenzie and Alex, but there aren't any other relationships.

    In Book 2, Shelby Brady is introduced to play Toph. She taught Mackenzie how to play and is so good at D&D that she's banned from tournaments.

    A few other people stop by to play for a session or two occasionally.

    Actually, now that I looked back, I can see how it comes from Episode 3. And it finally clicked that Alex created a female character who was in love with his main character. It didn't work out quite so well for him, did it?

    My almost certainly wrong guess: Damien and Mac bond a little over the pain of being overshadowed by someone else (Shelby and Damien's mother). Damien will still be too insecure to roleplay in front of people who've played with his mother. Rube will offer to help him develop his skills and may frame the others as a bad influence. Damien sides with Rube.

    I don't suppose Damien's mother would show up as Kuzo's father in Book 3, would she? The parallels are so obvious. Or maybe she is one of the speech therapists Rube worked with?

    Based on my reading of the Zuko Alone segment, Rube is setting Damien up with a devil's deal parallel to the one Azula sets Zuko up with in the finale:

    "Screw over the party and Manny and become GM again."

    Whether the last part means hijacking Manny's campaign or just derailing it irreversibly so he can run his own game remains to be seen, but the former is pretty feasible given lightning-shank on the main character.

    The cast page has now been updated with a "Season 2" section, so that should help some people out.

    Also, seeing the DM play Mai and Ty Lee must be hilarious. This is one table that I'd love to watch.

    Looks like my speculation on Rube's endgame was spot on, but now I have to wonder if he's being honest, or if this is just more method acting - creating an Ultimate Villain to get the party to rally against and forge stronger bonds over, IC and OOC. Normally any plot that gets announced ahead of time is a decoy, and there are other ways Crossroads of Destiny could be played. Zuko joining the team in intent but going Double Agent on Ozai springs to mind.

    Also if Damien is Mr. Speech Impediment (aside from Rube having some not-even-concealed self-loathing going there), I wonder if he's referring to all the sighing and not talking to NPCs, or if Damien shares Dante Basco's subtle lisp.

    Given the latest strip, I'm inclined to think this was all a ploy by Rube to get the party to band together. He even suggested he and Mac team up to destroy Manny's campaign (which makes me think that Rube also acknowledge's Manny's sadistic tendencies. It seems almost like Rube watched the first book play out, saw everyone's issues (and Rick's notes), and has made it his mission to help them all (including Damien). Awwww

    Re: Damien's speech impediment...I'm going with the subtle lisp explanation. Although I do like the idea that sighing constantly is a speech impediment.

    Manny initially tried to get Damien to join the other PCs. Perhaps Rube is also assisting with that, to finally give Manny a united party to work with?

    Looks like my speculation on Rube's endgame was spot on, but now I have to wonder if he's being honest, or if this is just more method acting - creating an Ultimate Villain to get the party to rally against and forge stronger bonds over, IC and OOC. Normally any plot that gets announced ahead of time is a decoy, and there are other ways Crossroads of Destiny could be played. Zuko joining the team in intent but going Double Agent on Ozai springs to mind.

    Also if Damien is Mr. Speech Impediment (aside from Rube having some not-even-concealed self-loathing going there), I wonder if he's referring to all the sighing and not talking to NPCs, or if Damien shares Dante Basco's subtle lisp.

    What you said before involved setting Damien up as DM and "...hijacking Manny's campaign or just derailing it irreversibly..." and no, I don't think that's part of it. I think Manny is pleased with what Rube is doing and they both seem to be working so well together that I think Rube is actually supporting Manny's plans, not undermining them, despite Rube telling Katera, "Together, we can destroy Manny's campaign."

    You may be right about Rube meaning Damien, but I thought Rube meant Rick when he said "Mr. Speech Impediment." I thought it was just because Rick had just said, "Damieeeen." I thought that Rube was acting angry because Damien had continued to be loyal to the other three, so Rube asked how could he be lower than the three of them. Also, at the time Rube said, "Mr. Speech Impediment here," Azula was looking at Aang. Zuko was flat on his back out in the street.

    So I just binge read this. Am I seeing these time stamps right and the comic is updating multiple times daily? If so that is insane, but I love it all the same.
    If my text is blue, I'm being sarcastic.But you already knew that, right?

    About one week ago, the author started updating about four times per day. It wasn't like that before, though.

    They built up a queue for exactly this reason. Tumblr makes it really easy to autopublish, even if it's still crap for everything related to readability.
