Re: Kill6BillionDemons II: The Successor's coming will be followed by 108 burning thr
While I’d tend to agree in principle...
...yeah, this. ^ Also, Lancer is a team effort; there’s at least one other person involved right now and I believe they’re currently looking for more. This is not Abbadon just writing, drawing, and designing an entire RPG/setting from scratch all
by himself.Last edited by rooster707; 2019-04-01 at 05:03 PM.

I didn't know about this before now, but I do think the production rate and quality of KSBD has declined for a while now.

Re: Kill6BillionDemons II: The Successor's coming will be followed by 108 burning thr
We should consider that this is Abbadon's full time job, though. That comic and associated projects pay him almost twice what I make as a teacher. Most other webcomic authors do it as a hobby, in their free time, for little to no recompense. This means he has much more time to spend on his projects than most.
Besides, he's published at least one other PbtA RPG system to no discernible impact on the comic, showing he can handle it. I'm more inclined to think this is less him splitting his attention and more a way to not have to think about the same thing all the time.Last edited by Weimann; 2019-04-03 at 12:54 PM.

Re: Kill6BillionDemons II: The Successor's coming will be followed by 108 burning thr
A LOSS?
Actually, the story has always been extremely obscure. The first book started in medias res, and it's only in the last half of the book that something like "plot" started shining through. You need to read the story many times over. You need to refer to the commentaries and the tumblr to get basic information about anything. In some cases, the K6BD-Wikia has picked up the slack and provides meaningful references.
As far as I know, this is not an oversight, it's by design. To make the story less predictable, and to get the reader involved - you have to research and speculate by yourself, or you get lost there.
Still to this point, we have no idea on so many important topics of the story that it hurts. Basically characters with the exception of Allison are speaking in riddles, based on that they know their world, and we readers don't.participate in fan translations of OotS to your native language:

The LANCER Kickstarter is live and already at about 75% to its goal within an hour. This pleases me.

More Diogenes references!

Re: Kill6BillionDemons II: The Successor's coming will be followed by 108 burning thr
Actually it's reference from the alt text from a few pages back. Maya asked what she should do with Meti's body if she were torn apart by her enemies, and Meti said she should just feed it to the dogs. Meti really didn't give a damn about what happened to her body after death

Specifically, the alt text to this page. Incubus followed her orders even beyond the end.

Re: Kill6BillionDemons II: The Successor's coming will be followed by 108 burning thr
Which actually may be some interested implied subtext, when coupled with the whole head shaving thing.
It doesn't really look like Maya ever actually shaved her head with the sword, while Incubus did it without question. Meti told them to feed her body to the dogs when she was dead, and Incubus actually did it.
I'm getting the impression that what Maya ACTUALLY hates about Incubus is that Meti liked him better than her as a student.

Re: Kill6BillionDemons II: The Successor's coming will be followed by 108 burning thr
Now i am wondering if Incubus actually just challenged Meti to a regular duel,
to test if he had surpassed his old trainer.thnx to Starwoof for the fine avatar

Re: Kill6BillionDemons II: The Successor's coming will be followed by 108 burning thr
I think its possible that Meti never even considered Maya a true student and thus never formally taught her the Sword Law. She has the honorific "ten Meti", but when the girl says "then you became her second [apprentice]", Maya doesn't directly answer her. Its possible that Meti spent her entire time teaching Incubus misgendering him(which is why her Sword Manual refers to her student as a girl), I mean, she wasn't the most pleasant individual.

Re: Kill6BillionDemons II: The Successor's coming will be followed by 108 burning thr
The problem is that the sword manual doesn't just refer to her apprentice as a girl, it says her only apprentice is:
...an idiot speck of a girl with more talent for eating than skill with the blade
Another problem is the way the Seven and Incubus seem to regard Maya vs. Incubus. It wouldn't make sense for them to hold Incubus in contempt and to view Maya as legitimate if Incubus was Meti's only student.
I think it's more likely that:
1. Incubus had already left or been kicked out by that point (hence 'only apprentice'), or,
2. Maya is leaving something else out. It's entirely possible, given Meti's contempt for people who use swords, that she took the incompetent, disobedient student and not the competent dangerous one. That is to say, she'd recognize Incubus' fanaticism and desire to master killing people with swords at any costs, and to her this would be a reason to not train him.
3. Something else weird is going on here.Last edited by Aquillion; 2019-04-18 at 10:43 AM.

Well, Incubus was a starving urchin at that point, its possible that he was just as big of an eater as Maya is now

Re: Kill6BillionDemons II: The Successor's coming will be followed by 108 burning thr
Interesting. I notice that in the most recent now Maya's head is shaved.
And yeah, this is definitely informing us why everybody said Meti only had one apprentice.Last edited by Olinser; 2019-04-24 at 05:57 PM.
