Population: Zero

[Dr. Simon]

it's not that I don't like shadowrun. Im just saying, its pretty cheesy. I mean, a metroid crashes down on earth and suddenly everything is elves and magic?

That sounds like a lot of cheese to me. Finest cheddar.

Unless they radically changed things for 4th Edition, that's not what happened.

The concept (with Shadowrun and Earthdawn) is that the Earth's "manasphere" undergoes fluctuations over millenia, thus the strength of "magic" goes through cyclical changes. The Shadowrun setting is during an upswing of the mana cycle, thus magic is on the rise. As well as spellcasting, various genotypes and diseases are surpressed in a low mana era, hence the sudden appearance of fantasy races and monsters as the mana levels become high enough for them to be expressed again.

Perhaps you're getting confused with the Halley's Comet arc, which was basically an excuse to introduce *even more* magical things into the setting when Halley's Comet passes by.





Good comic, BTW :)

[Lyinginbedmon]

Ok, this is what we've got so far.

Spoiler

Show

1. Onasuma?
2. I still think this looks like Tim
3. don't know
4. don't know

I probably covered the cameo that we haven't found up, didn't I? Also, I see some archives.

Yes, you've spotted all the different cameos plus the archives. Now you just have to name them all

Clue for #1: Spiky white hair.

I won't be surprised if you can't put a name to the aasimar and tiefling though.

Clue for #1: Spiky white hair.

Would it be Omicron by any chance?

[Almighty Salmon]

Ok, this is what we've got so far.

1. Could be Omicron.
2. Young Igon/Tim Apparently not.
3. Firedrake?
4. ... Uh, i'm at a loss. Maybe that kobold yelling halfling?

Also, I got a cameo. Epic win.

That you describe that as Epic win means we're doing something right.

[chriky]

Unidentified People so far.
Panel 1
White haired guy talking to Igon: Dunno who this could be.
Panel 2
Green Haired Elf
blue shirted mohawk guy: Dunno.

I think the white haired guy is omicron, green haired elf could be keris rain, and i think the mohawk guy is bor.

[Vulion]

This intrigues me...

[YPU]

Wow, this is cool indeed. And damn nice job on the cameos, makes me wish I had enough grit to get into ABR and keep going. Ah well, at least now I have another comic to read.

Whooo! New readers!

[Lyinginbedmon]

Pop: Zero is unconnected to ABR, at the moment we're considering paid cameos for a very small cost but that's still in consideration.

I think Bor is that Orc/Ogre ninja from the Third Plot.

ah... well i hardly know whats happening in 3F, how could i have any idea about anything in Plot 3...

[Ichneumon]

This really is awesome. I love the cameo's.

[BRC]

Yeah, I'll say that #4 is Rob, though that may just be me seeing my own character,but I'll say it's him.

What do you mean by paid cameo's?

Our eventual goal is for Population: Zero to get it's own dedicated website, at which point we'll need donations and other support to pay for hosting, much like Remember.

One of our ideas is $5 equivalent for a cameo in a given page (Compared to webcomics like Commissioned which charges twice that.). But that's still in development and may not actually materialise.

@V Yes, excepting fan art. We're not quite cruel enough yet to copyright our characters such that they can't be made by hard-working fans with artistic capabilities.


Yet.

Would you accept fan art?

[YPU]

Whooo! New readers!

More like regular checking of what chaos I managed to unleash from all of you.

It wasn't asked for, but here it is! Fanart!

I dare you to guess who it is.

Does this mean we can expect further works depicting the other characters?

[BRC]

So, no confirm/deny that the short yelling guy is Rob?

speaking of which, I gotta make a new Rob and Jack, and I need to do my guest comic.

[Vulion]

Does this mean we can expect further works depicting the other characters?

I am neither confirming or denying anything.
