Re: Goblins XVII: The shocking end of the story arc
A major problem with the webcomic medium, as opposed to the traditional publisher-author system, is that all authors need editors. Some more than most. And Thunt more than most of those.

Re: Goblins XVII: The shocking end of the story arc
But some seem to still do a great job without needing an editor.

Re: Goblins XVII: The shocking end of the story arc
I wonder if there will be some sight of the world as it's exploding. You know, villages, farms, Brassmoon City... Forgath and the Gap both had to fight various hellish creatures, but there are lots of places that are civilian-populated and probably won't have enough adventurers around to save them, and it would make sense that that's the current major focus/tragedy.

Re: Goblins XVII: The shocking end of the story arc
That would be interesting. Though something else, the corruption around the edges of the panel has shrunk down to barely there. I wonder if that means something. Like, the further they go, the further from the source they are. The invasion hasnt started yet, its barely starting to leak hell juices outside of the original site.

Re: Goblins XVII: The shocking end of the story arc
possible. might be more likely that they just aren't worth the effort to draw all the time anymore since they're not the main focus :P

Re: Goblins XVII: The shocking end of the story arc
I suppose, but considering we are back to the story where heading off to hell is the actual goal to deal with this very problem, it seems like it might be important. Maybe its something that comes in waves. Like first a single flea demon came out, then a swarm, what next? Every time this horrible monster demon god thing pushes against the cracking barrier another surge of corruption comes through, stronger than the last. Eventually he will break through.

Re: Goblins XVII: The shocking end of the story arc
Indeed.
SpoilerI suspect everyone will survive, but I wonder if we're going to have an ongoing situation of a split-up party even more than we already have (with jumping back between this group, team Forgath, and Kin).
That said, anyone else miss Dies Horribly and his cast of companions/opponents?

Re: Goblins XVII: The shocking end of the story arc
Not really. He was always something of a joke character to me and that makes it hard for me to be interested when he's actually in the spotlight. On top of that, the kind of interesting parts of the premise of the whole comic (monsters being adventurers) is mostly absent with him.

Re: Goblins XVII: The shocking end of the story arc
That's interesting; I consider Dies Horribly's story far more interesting than both Minmax and the GAP. It mostly ditches all of the game logic and player character nonsense in favor of a more consistent story and deeper characters. Both Junior and especially Duv are far more interesting antagonists than Kore.
In addition, that part of the comic was actually centered on goblins. The GAP, on the other hand, ever since they left Brassmoon city, have been no more than one-dimensional side characters in Minmax' story about how he got to understand monsters are people too. It doesn't help that I loath the 'wacky' type of character/humor that both Minmax and Fumbles represent, and together they are multiple levels of worse than each of them individually.
Of course most of my gripes with the current story are from after Dies showed up last, so I suspect the general decline in the comic's quality would also affect his story if he showed up again.What did the monk say to his dinner?

Re: Goblins XVII: The shocking end of the story arc
On one hand, Dies is now Chief, so he probably be back.
On the other, I feel that Dies' story would have had a satisfying ending anyway, even if he never came back in focus.Originally Posted by J.R.R. Tolkien, 1955

Re: Goblins XVII: The shocking end of the story arc
dies is not cheif. the ritual duv had her teller perform on him was to determine wether or not he HAD a cheif. the plan was to have her teller make him cheif after that to secure an alliance with his tribe, but the whole biscut/junior attack thing happened before that, and Dies wasn't willing to go through with anyways.

So... Kore also just fell down a "bottomless" pit. Anyone think the GAP and Kore will have a reunion soon?

SpoilerHuh, I think this is the first time we've seen Fumbles with his mustache off in a long time.“Evil is evil. Lesser, greater, middling, it's all the same.

I see comics as a visual medium. The less dialogue is needed, the better.

This was definitely an 'establishing shot'-style strip, rather than a move-the-narrative strip.

Re: Goblins XVII: The shocking end of the story arc
..you don't know if the statue is a trap? OF COURSE IT'S A TRAP. Everything in every dungeon in this world is a trap. You should know this by now. The question is what kind of trap. Is it going to animate and try to kill you directly? Project an illusion to keep you in that room forever slowly starving to death while convinced you've made it to the end room and escaped with treasure? Mind control you into sacrificing your teammates in the name of your new idol? Who knows! Could be anything!

Re: Goblins XVII: The shocking end of the story arc
Spoiler: The statueLooks like a helmet there with a rectangle in the same place as the statue, so I'm guessing a waldo. There has to be drawbacks, so you can't move your own body while moving the statue/golem or you're stuck in it until someone else puts on the helmet?
