Re: D&D Aangvanced (Avatar: The Last Airbender Screencap Comic)
To be fair, they have gamed together for a few years at least, so they've all invested a lot of time into a shared friendship. Unfortunately, as Damien pointed out, Manny is not exactly going to win 'Human of the year' any time soon, particularly with his behaviour of late. What that doesn't mean is that he's willing to turn his back on someone he's known for X years.

Re: D&D Aangvanced (Avatar: The Last Airbender Screencap Comic)
I think you have to think of the players as being just as cartoony as the original cartoon characters or maybe even more so. After all, one of the players is an AI who is obsessed with its creator. Asking why the players are still playing is a bit like asking why Elmer Fudd kept hunting rabbits.
I hope you wouldn't enjoy it! You couldn't even know if the snacks had drugs in them. It's almost surprising that Manny doesn't throw rocks at the players each time their characters get hit with an earthbending spell, and burn them for firebending spells and hose them down for waterbending spells.

Re: D&D Aangvanced (Avatar: The Last Airbender Screencap Comic)
I'm liking this DM'ing by committee thing. I'm not sure it would work in most situations or groups, but it'd be interesting to try and I like seeing the gaang working together this way.

I'm definitely enjoying the tonal shift. It was getting just a tad depressing the last little bit. The levity is nice.

Re: D&D Aangvanced (Avatar: The Last Airbender Screencap Comic)
So... Manny's going to be absent for the bulk of Book 3. Iroh's definitely his viewpoint character at this point. Damien briefly visits him during the 'Avatar and the Firelord' episode, then Manny rejoins the group just prior to campaign end, though remains separate from the Gaang anyway. Possibly he plays Piandao as well?
Edit - Bonus comic is amusingly meta. Also, Mac definitely doesn't know how to roleplay Rollplay, sure, but not roleplay.
Edit the second - Think 'Pink haired nerd' could be a reference to our very own Nerd-o-Rama?Last edited by Comissar; 2016-06-13 at 05:49 PM.

Re: D&D Aangvanced (Avatar: The Last Airbender Screencap Comic)
Wow, I assumed that was a random tumblrite, but given my avatar, that's possibly the first time I've gotten a shout out in a webcomic.
Anyway, congratulations to the author for giving me just as much of an "oh hell everything's about to go to ****" at Azula's reappearance in this comic as happened in the actual series.Spoiler

So, Rube's a minor as well. Was that brought up prior to this? I knew he was Manny's younger brother, but those don't come with age tags.

Re: D&D Aangvanced (Avatar: The Last Airbender Screencap Comic)
I don't think it was specified, but since Manny's probably college aged or just past it in his 20's, it stood to reason. Plus, aside from his obvious empathy for the neurodivergent, it helps explain why Rick has the best rapport with him. In fact there may have been a throwaway line of Rick calling Rube his little buddy, but I can't be asked to search for it.

Re: D&D Aangvanced (Avatar: The Last Airbender Screencap Comic)
I just realised that The Guru is well suited to Manny and Rick's talk. As they continue, the set will grow lighter, (hopefully) mirroring Manny's introspection and movement toward being a better person.

Re: D&D Aangvanced (Avatar: The Last Airbender Screencap Comic)
IDK. Rick is going to try to help Manny during the Guru episode. It will be a role reversal, unless Manny plays Aang for some reason. At the end of the episode, Aang rejoins everyone else. Will Manny go back? Or will Manny just strengthen himself and prepare for his comeback like Iroh did?
Will Damien use the opportunity in Crossroads to teach Mac how to roleplay? At least a little bit?
Just a few days ago:
You aren't the only one who has said something like that, but you are one of them.
But, the Puppetmaster episode should either let her see what a control freak she is, or let her roleplay a control freak. Probably the former. Also The Southern Raiders.Last edited by eschmenk; 2016-06-15 at 12:57 AM.

Re: D&D Aangvanced (Avatar: The Last Airbender Screencap Comic)
"Mac can't roleplay" is a joke in-comic, though, albeit delivered by Manny through Mai so maybe it's best to take it with a grain of salt.
That said, I do agree that she's very well-suited to portraying Katara regardless. Katara is an absurdly powerful Bender in-universe (so are Aang and Toph, but Aang has a plot excuse and Toph is played here by a character-building savant) as well as having a personality that's dominant and tempestuous (well okay, she just has a shorter-than-average temper, but the pun was too good to pass up) as a counterpoint to her capability and general altruism. Mac lacks her empathy, in-character, but the rest of Katara is there.Last edited by Nerd-o-rama; 2016-06-15 at 08:43 AM.

Well the climax happened...now it remains to be seen how Damien's going to develop from here. And also why the players decide to keep playing.

Re: D&D Aangvanced (Avatar: The Last Airbender Screencap Comic)
Well, the solution has been foreshadowed here:
http://dandaangvanced.tumblr.com/pos...17-aborted-arc
Last panel on the bottom left. It should work.
Of course, there is also the possibillity that the author does decide to end the run there. I do not think so, but, it has been a wild ride. :)
Just realising: I *have* understood you correctly, Aurilee, that you meant "how can the game continue with Rick dead"? Or did you mean: "The game has reached it's end, the story is or should be now over"?Last edited by Adaon Nightwind; 2016-06-23 at 09:18 AM.

Re: D&D Aangvanced (Avatar: The Last Airbender Screencap Comic)
Yeah, it was more like "with all the players thinking Rick is dead, how are they going to carry on?" They all seem pretty eager to end the campaign, so Manny will have to do something to give them a big morale boost. I mean, I've watched the show so I know how it will theoretically progress, but I'm interested to see how the comic does it.
And the author has confirmed he'll be continuing on into Korra, so no end in sight.

Re: D&D Aangvanced (Avatar: The Last Airbender Screencap Comic)
The way I see it, the table has wrapped the campaign around their feelings for Rube and how to "fix" him. Manny and Rick at least believe that if Rube wins while he's stuck playing Azula, he'll be irreversibly damaged and will lose himself in the character. Mac, Shelby and Lex go along with that because they think it's the right thing to do. But Damien, saying that D&D is the escape he had when things were at the worst in his life feels that Rube deserves the same opportunity that they have all had.
So when the story continues, that's still the focus: does Rube need fixing, or should he be allowed to play through as his character?. . .

This is the kind of zombie campaign I like. Remains to be seen if Damien rolls with it or not.

Re: D&D Aangvanced (Avatar: The Last Airbender Screencap Comic)
So I guess the point of this was to show that Rube really is lost into the character of Azula rather than simply being really into roleplaying.

Oh my. If Rube is really that deep into Azula's Character, this could take quite the dark turn when we reach the ending of the series. Unless, perhaps, he believes Azula can be reached by Aangs' Mindbending at that point? Or maybe the story will continue with the print books?

Re: D&D Aangvanced (Avatar: The Last Airbender Screencap Comic)
Also, I'm guessing, to make fun of all the delays in getting AtLA Book 3 out.
Which is also distressing if that joke gets played up more for the finale episodes. Or Korra in general.Spoiler

Re: D&D Aangvanced (Avatar: The Last Airbender Screencap Comic)
I was thinking that Aang's mindbending might be used to cure Manny's addiction to power. Azula would have a breakdown, leaving Rube back in control. I suppose the most Azula thing to do would be to seize her father's character, though.
I'm pretty sure the author has a pretty large backlog, so I wouldn't worry about that. I expect we will continue to have little intermissions. I notice that Damien talked about introducing aliens. We could hope for Plan 9 from Outer Space. It has everything: vampires, zombies, space aliens and plenty for the players to bitch about.
