Re: Prediction Page, (bring your quatloos, gps, and internets, you'll need them.)
I believe the line was something like, "It'll be seven books, even if the last is as big as a phone book." So no guarantee it's the longest, but I think from Rich's perspective there's a lot to get through. (Even from the sheer number of unanswered questions or plots that need to be resolved, I think we can say there's a lot left to do.)
It wouldn't surprise me if the final book broke 300 strips. I would still be surprised if it was as high as 400, though.
Edit for one last piece of statistical information: Blood Runs in the Family is currently the longest book, at 273 strips.Last edited by Ruck; 2023-05-23 at 07:19 AM.

It's not a matter of "I believe" or "something like". The post is still available online and for free!

Imean, if we want to be just as pedantic as possible, I've lived in a town so small the phone book was arguably thinner than some grocery store magazines, and definitely thinner than a couple of the OotS books.

And I haven't seen a phonebook in years, so it might just imply it will be of dubious existence. (Which is not to say I'm not really curious now what an OotS book with such a cover design would look like, mind you.)

Phone books were wild. They'd just print out where everyone lived, and an unstable person could open it up, pick a random name, load up their rifle, head on over, and then shoot a bunch of cans near that person. Especially if he hates those cans. Everyone had to get away from the cans.

Five gold on "Redcloak destroyed the phylactery".
This also necessarily implies the round holy symbol he switched back to is just a holy symbol. Probably not great odds for me on this one.Cuthalion's art is the prettiest art of all the art. Like my avatar.

Re: Prediction Page, (bring your quatloos, gps, and internets, you'll need them.)
Yeah, I'll bet against that.
If Xykon is somehow destroyed before the ritual is completed or before he and Redcloak have turned on each other, Redcloak is probably gonna want to bring him back.
Scratch that, since if Xykon regenerates in Redcloak's holy symbol, it's all over anyway. The better argument is that destroying it beforehand might somehow alert Xykon, and thus be an unnecessary risk, when Redcloak can wait until Xykon's body is destroyed and he can't do anything to retaliate until it's regenerated (which Redcloak can simply not let happen at that point).Last edited by Ruck; 2023-05-23 at 07:27 PM.

I have nothing to bet, but I predict that Redcloak is planning to throw it into Snarl.

Re: Prediction Page, (bring your quatloos, gps, and internets, you'll need them.)
New wager: I bet one whole internet that Serini will also be on the list of permanently dead after the big climax, and the party - most likely Elan and Haley - will adopt Sunny and take care of him til.he matures enough to go off on his own.
Reasoning: Haley is the most parental out of the group, as opposed to Roy's leader personality, and Elan would be a brother as much as a dad. It would also emphasize the plot aspect of relations between monstrous creatures and non-monstrous ones needing to change once the Snarl is dealt with for good.Last edited by ZhonLord; 2023-05-24 at 05:56 AM.

And there's another possible read on the nature of their relationship one might want to consider. (Also, frankly, both options are somewhat disturbing.)

Re: Prediction Page, (bring your quatloos, gps, and internets, you'll need them.)
Actually, betting point:
300 GP on this book being longer in terms of strips then Blood Runs in the Family.
200 GP on it being over 300 strips long.
100 GP on it being over 400 strips long.

Re: Prediction Page, (bring your quatloos, gps, and internets, you'll need them.)
"Oh, I had that character growth already."
(I take the bet, too)
These are all separate bets, and value bets at that. Two scrabble tiles each:
There's going to be a fake finale RSN, when the whole party fights Team Evil.
Tarquin, Ian, and everyone else associated with Elan's plan to defeat Tarquin is going to miraculously appear in a way that screws the pooch and everyone is going to get segregated into plot-sized chunks.
The plot-sized chunks, where necessary, will be forced to cooperate because of the hostility of the Final Dungeon.
Team Negotiator: Redcloak, Durkon, Minrah, and Belkar. Belkar is going to break the ice with Redcloak the same way he broke it with Serini. Worlds will be saved.
Team This Is Your Life: Monster in the Dark, Oona, Greyview, O-Chul, Lien. The Monster in the Dark's allegiance will go on trial. O-Chul is the prosecution, Oona is the defense. I expect O-Chul to win, but subversion is a heavy possibility here.
Team Odd Couple: Xykon and the Quinton will be together long enough for a few jokes and then Xykon will kick the dog somehow by killing the Quinton.
Team Oh Shoot, I Think I'm Out of Scrabble Tiles: V and Tarquin will be together. V will be called away. Sabine will agree to free V from the comfy chair if V kills Tarquin. V will kill Tarquin and then be dragged away for V's third timeout. The power of Lawful Evil will prevent the fiends from compelling V to finish the timeout he escaped. V will return in the nick of time. We will find out whether Outsiders are absorbed into their plane or regenerated somewhere else after losing all their hit points.
The story from this point will be a race for the gate where everyone is absolutely convinced they have to keep moving to accomplish their objectives.TinyMushroom drew my avatarSpoiler: A shaggy dog storyAn evil sorcerer in command of a dark cult is trying to unleash a god-killing abomination more real than the gods themselves.

See, if you were betting gold instead of scrabble tiles I'd take all those bets.
