There was talk of starting new campaigns, but I felt like I needed to move beyond RP a bit. I mean, I could have kept going and wrapped things up better but in my head it was done and writing it out felt like a waste when we all knew how it was gonna go. I think the main thing that made me stop was I felt the story was done. You seem to have very much enjoyed RP, and you seem to fall into withdrawal occasionally. Blah.ĭraw that werewolf three-hundred times, and I guarantee by number three-hundred one it will be among the most badass werewolves ever put on paper :) So I sat down the other day and drew a werewolf, and the head and torso turned out great, but the rest kinda sucked bigtime, and I couldn't help but think that I wish I could draw as well as you. I don't mind "Dwayne" at all either though, so either pronunciation is fine by me. I guess it depends on what you mean by "actual." It's the actual pronunciation in Alderode. 9.9 Is the pronunciation you have for Duane the actual pronunciation, or just one you sort of made up, or liked better? Old question from back when I was too nervous to ask you anything. "The practical wright is able to wage war with ALL of his garments, if necessary." So Duane just has to keep Quigley fighting and eventually, he'll be naked!Īfter he unleashes the megabomb in his underpants. There was a village of its undead sycophants up those stairs and the caverns around it were infested by eyeball flowers, all of which Sucklehead could see out of. A glowing, blood-red lambence waterfall and lake deep underground where a particularly fucked-up demon made a soup out of the souls it had captured from all over the multiverse. I did have to draw this place though - Sucklehead's cauldron. I was a player as well as the game leader, and it wouldn't have been fair to supplement my posts with art all the time. And I only very rarely drew the environments since the point of the game was to sell belief to players via the badassery of your writing ability. When you RP'd were you the GM (or whatever you'd like to call it)? And if so, was it a boon to be able to actually draw the environments you described? His outlook and his condition are going to cause problems going forward. Duane's been kind of a blind bully, kind of a blowhard, kind of a bull in a china shop but he's also an aging relic that doesn't mesh well with the world outside of Alderode, and maybe with this chapter you get a sense of that. The first thing I wanted to do in this fight - and in this story turn, of which this chapter is kind of the threshhold - is strip him bare. I think the lack of cape and his current frustration and the looming lunacy of the night hours is pushing him firmly into the second category.ĭuane's gone five chapters without facing anything that was a real threat. Sure! I mean, Duane is a stickman a scarecrow looking fellow who I feel constantly skates that very thin border between badass and ridiculous. It sort of emphasizes the fact that, for all his pymary, he's actually rather frail looking.

I quite like seeing Duane without his omnipresent cloak.
