Three Little Words
Chapter: Season Ten
Together.
New page goes up on Thursday.
- To let this moment bask in its glory. It is a 9 year payoff for me as a storyteller and on a personal level.
- I am wrapping some freelance and commissions to get some money.
- I am running D&D on Wednesday night for friends to take our minds off everything for a little while.
So say we all.
Excuse me while I go sob softly in a corner.
This is the way.
This is the way!
This is the Way
This is the way.
This is the way.
This is the Wae.
(I may have ruined this)
I do not know da weyDx
This is the way
This is the way.
I don’t believe in faeries!
This is the way.
This is the way
I have spoken.
This is the way
This is the way
This is the Way.
This is the way
This is the way.
This is the Way.
So say we all.
And my axe!
This is the way.
And in ten rounds, it’ll be ‘This is the slay’
that last panel needs to be a dang wallpaper, stat!
I agree. Sam is a fucking BADASS! Hell, damn near every other panel in the arc has been wallpaper-worthy. Brian’s really been pulling out all the stops for this!
or a T-shirt. The sentence has been used often but seldom with such an epic picture to back it up.
No no no…
GM’s Screen.
Right.
DM’s getting all grudgy, hope you got another character in mind doubty.
So we’ve got this great new diceless conflict resolution mechanism we want- why YES that IS a paper shredder. Good of you to notice!
Ever wo Derek is the party is the boss who constantly TPK the orc adventurers? Here is your answer.
“SAM… ON YOUR LEFT” *Portals begin opening around them as other dms and players step through*
That last panel could make for an AWESOME tshirt if it was retooled a little for printing purposes.
Roll you giant purple vagina! May the odds NEVER be in your favor.
Chills and tears. Excellent work as always!
“Let’s show this doubtbitch how we do it in 2e.”
That last panel had me tearing up and holding my breath with anticipation! It looks so good and I want to use it as a big card whenever it’s time to roll for initiative!
The “NO NO NO NO” panic of Doubt is a wonderful detail. You can almost see its eyes getting wider – “Wait, hold on, you shouldn’t just be able to negate me that easily!”
Been reading back over the early years of this wondrous journey and it’s astounding how far things have gone and changed. It’s been a bizarre and awesome ride. Looking forward the Innsmouth stuff next.
FIRE THE ORBITAL FRIENDSHIP CANNON
Yay! Friendship IS magic! 😀
…
…Ok, excuse me, I have to go lie down in a darkened room for a while after making that reference!
Yay ponies
And at the same time an RPG metacommentary, that it’s a process of collective imagination and creation rather than being just the DM’s world…
Hmm… Starting to wonder if all this is going to be some kind of messed-up Dream sequence or extended game session.
Are you familiar with weregeek? They do a similar thing in that story, though anymore information about it would be spoilers
Yeah. That’s what made me wonder
Nope. Not a dream. Not a session. This is all real-world for them.
And, of course,
HOOOOOAAAAAHHHHH!
Getting a really strong THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN vibe here…
…. I am screaming this at the end of the year… This will be my battle cry now. When the worst things in life pile down on me I will now stare it square in the eye and say….
“Roll for inititive “
Man that was powerful, made me all tingly when I got to the titular three little words… Home run all the way man, awesome work I love it!!!
Sam came to roll crits and chew bubblegum. And he’s all out of bubblegum.
Amazing stuff Brian! Love this and really love the big drops these past few pages. I don’t know what your group runs but all of you enjoy!
If the comic ended right here, right now… I would sit back and smile and be satisfied.
One little word…BRAVO.
So it took me a little while to figure out how to words this.
I love this page and the wholesome and *important* message in a few simple words: “You are not the boss battle at the end of our story.”
I love this. It’s *BLOODY F*CKING INSPIRING* to me. We as readers know that, actually Doubt-y McDouchenozzle here kind of is the final boss. But to the people in this world… he isn’t. It isn’t the end for them. Their stories go on. Sam and Amy will keep being adorable. Jeanie and Brett will keep making Christmas miracles (with some Carlos help). Charlie gets to be (presumably) kicking in all kinds of accessibility doors as the first known blind honest-to-King of Seasons wizard. And Dallas WILL rebound and make an even BIGGER name for herself in the gaming industry (that’s my headcanon until Brian corrects me) plus be adorable with her awesome girl. Trevor and Lee. Lee and Sam. Even Phillip freaking arsewad Dove. Their stories go ONWARD.
And every one of us reading… no matter what it is, our stories keep going on too. The election? Not our final battle. Depression? Not our final battle. Layoffs, pandemic, getting dumped, getting married… none of it is a final battle. Maybe… a chapter closing. But the next chapter is there. The next season is there. Our stories, our narratives… they’re ongoing.
And that’s powerful.
Vin D would be so proud of this “Family”
Ooo I got chills
