this is what i liked about the campaign we played while i was in the service. while we were underway, if we hit a good patch, we were playing NIGHTLY. no cliffhangers are too much when you’ll find out in 18 hours.
Pff, yeah. If Sam wanted to do a cliffhanger, the proper time would have been BEFORE the person-to-die was chosen. Let the players argue it amongst themselves for a week. ;D
we had the classic ‘the child must die to save the world’ scenario go down. the GM ended the session before we started talking about it, and we weren’t going to play for nearly three weeks. plenty of time to think about it and argue about it before the next session.
I suppose it depends on if you want in-character conversation about it. That seems just a touch less likely to happen away from the table. Of course, it depends on your group more than anything.
Methinks that we readers are suffering from the cliffhanger as much as the players! 😉 I discovered your comic last week (searching for beholder images – happy to see they appeal as much to you as they do to me), and I am HOOKED! I’ve caught up over these past few days, and now I must suffer as any other long time reader the slings and arrows of outrageous updating 😛
But seriously, I am thrilled with the quality of your comic (art and story, both), and am happy to wait for you to get it just right. I can be patient and persistent and loyal – heck, an old favourite webcomic was Elf Only Inn, where I had to wait sometimes weeks or months between updates, and where persistence paid off in its re-animation (yup, I went there) after a TWO-YEAR hiatus!
I love, love, love the ideas you are sharing with us of your homebrew campaign, and am in agreement that it should be kickstarted for publication. I’m just in the pipeline with some friends for starting up a game of D&D (after having played just two campaigns as a kid with my babysitter/godbrother) and have just funded my first two KS… so bring it on! I like original, creative, deep storytelling, and getting in on the groundfloor of something new.
Ok, I’ll go back to lurking for a while, had to get 389 comics worth of comment out before I burst 😉
Damn, Karthun is making my homebrew feel slackass by comparison. Sounds like a fun world to play in, and is one of the few that makes playing a mage sound interesting to me.

See, if it was me, I’d go out of my way to put cliffhangers at those type of points. Because that would be funny. For me, anyways.

that’s actually the proper way.

Old Stabby needs a tag. Just sayin.
Does Old Stabby get a +2 or an extra d4 against DMs who kill your character and cliffhanger it there?
Ha! That’s funny…I call mine Sugar Shiv too.
“Sugar Shiv.” That is SO metal. And by “Metal” I mean awesome.

*taking notes*
Gotta remember those names for next time I play a rogue or rogue-esque character.
