Re: Goblins XIX: New Year, New Updates
I recall for previous unfinished pages she actually confirmed it was for patreon purposes, to post something before the end of the month.
But nowadays I can't read twitter posts without an account anymore, and that seems to be the only way she communicates comic updates, so... dunno.

Re: Goblins XIX: New Year, New Updates
Ah, yes, Elli. Beat us over the head with the grimdark, no one would have realized turning into a demon was upsetting without the flashback.

Re: Goblins XIX: New Year, New Updates
I can't help but notice that Complains is looking increasingly like Grinnorarcen, who could open gates to and from hell (or, at least, easily move between dimensions).
Personally, I'm only at issue with how Complains occasionally turns into a full-on idiot.Originally Posted by J.R.R. Tolkien, 1955

Re: Goblins XIX: New Year, New Updates
I would think it was awesome if it turned out that Complains' destiny was to lead demonkind to throw off the shackles of being monsters who exist to by killed by adventurers.

Re: Goblins XIX: New Year, New Updates
I can't say for sure, but it doesn't seems as a flashback to me. Too much campy, not enough grim. Even when in the old time goblins had nonsensical sketch, they never did a full CareBear routine.
Seems like a fantasy more than a memory.
Doesn't change the fact that yes, it's mostly hanging a full lighhouse.

Re: Goblins XIX: New Year, New Updates
He was clever in the scene with the goblin angel, feigning an attack in order to pull the lever. And the scene after that he used his phantasmal wings to blow away the razor cobwebs.

Re: Goblins XIX: New Year, New Updates
I found that last comic pretty sweet, all things considered.
VC XV, The horsemen are drawing nearer: The Alien and the Omen (part 1 and part 2).
VC XVI, Burn baby burn:Nero
VC XVIII, This is Heresy! Torquemada
VC XX, Elder Evil: Henry Bowyer

Annnd now it's colored. So much for the "intentional artistic B&W theory."

Re: Goblins XIX: New Year, New Updates
Goblin lifetimes being what they are, this could have easily been a year before the comic kicked off, or something.

Re: Goblins XIX: New Year, New Updates
This is the second time Magubluyet has responded to an angry prayer-rant with vindictiveness. Amusing that it's happened exactly twice, etc. etc. insert meme. There's no way he didn't manipulate the cloak so that it came loose enough for Complains to touch the Axe bare-handed.
Still, no one can say he didn't grant Complains' request. If only a full demon can safely navigate Hell and take the Axe to a deep dark corner of it, and there's no reliable chance of reuniting with Kin in time to find a way to summon Old Grinnie, then there's only one option that remains. Not that it's a pleasant or happy option, but when the world's ending one doesn't necessarily have the freedom to be picky.Last edited by ZhonLord; 2023-12-18 at 05:48 AM.
If you think "interesting" is an anticlimax, I feel sorry for you because it means you don't really know about interesting.

Re: Goblins XIX: New Year, New Updates
Basically no demon natively gets Planeshift in 3.5, and those who do (e.g. Bebilith) are specialized in it, and it's the thing that make them unique. The point is to explain why the Material Plane isn't full of demons right now. In the context of the comic, since more powerful demons require stronger bridges, increase in power does not automatically give them the ability to planeshift. Same thing for devils, by the way, since Goblins does not seem to make any difference between the two.
Could he? I'm pretty sure the whole reason he gave his true name to Idle is because he could not go back to hell by himself, could he?Resurrecting the Negative LA thread, comments and discussion are very welcome!

Re: Goblins XIX: New Year, New Updates
Um, hold on a moment. There's a big dramatic fight with the tentacle thing, over like six pages. How did I miss that?

Re: Goblins XIX: New Year, New Updates
Not a fan. Though i do get what vorpal was doing at the end there, talking about goth and vegan demons, meh, it felt kinda silly and off tone for whats going on.

Re: Goblins XIX: New Year, New Updates
Maybe, but it fits the character, and not just in a "he's kind of dumb" way (although there is that too). His whole arc has been about being able to choose who you are. From his perspective, being a demon with a goblin soul probably does just make Complains a different type of goblin. He might not really get what the problem is.
“Evil is evil. Lesser, greater, middling, it's all the same. Proportions are negotiated, boundaries blurred. I'm not a pious hermit, I haven't done only good in my life. But if I'm to choose between one evil and another, then I prefer not to choose at all.”

Re: Goblins XIX: New Year, New Updates
"Oooh‚ but it will be funny!"
I suspect it will start being weird when/if "Chief" ever becomes truly happy‚ at which point his demon body will instinctively take over and start attacking people to torture them.
I also wonder how much Goblin God will like being called out by a litteral demon (albeit with a goblin soul).Resurrecting the Negative LA thread, comments and discussion are very welcome!

Re: Goblins XIX: New Year, New Updates
It happened thanks to a very contrived random effect, and he had the perfect opening to prevent it if he didn't like it. So, that's his fault, really.
