Authorā€™s Notes: The death scene in LH is a lot different than in RtRPH, but this one is probably closer to canon if it was.

Skin, Cloth, Ambrosia? Rheaā€™s going for a redesign! Iā€™ll be looking forward to it!


#172

Possibly, but she is a brand on her design. Iā€™ll put the items to good use though. (Ofcourse in this world, soulbound doesnā€™t exist entirely, so dyes would be tradeable in theory, but I wonā€™t pull that big of a plot hole.)

The FINALE!! Lets see where our story ends:

Authorā€™s Notes: Well, thatā€™s my story. 300 pages, a ton of errors and improv along the way, and only in under two months. I appreciate everyone who stuck along the way (last comic I believe took well longer), and hope this will be with you for your Realm careers. Iā€™ll probably do more after the holiday (perhaps a holiday themed one), but thatā€™s into the future. If there isnā€™t any tied-off ends in this story, let me know, but I think I got them all.

Thank you everyone, and Iā€™ll see you next time!

Aww, that last ending! Youā€™re right about Rhea being quite iconic on her own, though that deadly vixen is sureā€¦ Clashy as you have described. Love the reactions to it!

For the next one, Iā€™m just afraid about one thing; death seems pretty cheap now. You get reborn with unmaxed stats, but it wasnā€™t shown in the comic (since it ended).

Perhaps it should be taken note as a major conflict cause in the later stage, thus making the audience hope that she didnā€™t die, restoring the tension of death.

Also, glad to see Ballister becoming a better member of society. Was kinda hoping that Ballister would work as a Barrista, ayy.

(Also, dat jab at the yatchs tho)


#175

The concept of the restart after death is a bit mixed in my mind. Ofcourse, it should be an uphill battle after losing a 6/8, but these days people buckle down and get back on the horse in about a day or two of play (including having good friends like Gollo and Geronimo to feed you pots.) But perhaps thats at the perspective of a 5 year player. I want to frame death as just being out of commission for a while (as Iā€™m sure everyone dies or kills themselves for fame, especially in this universe where there are no multiple character slots for the sake of consistency.)

I could of made a small montage, but itā€™d just be about six panels, each showing a moment in a dungeon, conveying they ran enough to max a stat. But, I get where your coming from.


#176

Rhea choosing another class after her death would have been an interesting plot twist.


#177

ā€œShe doesnā€™t need the Hax, and actively finds heroes cursed with it to help them out as well. Many are too far gone, but there might be hope.ā€ (300)
How I feel when Iā€™m the only realmer in my group of irl friends who doesnā€™t need the Haxā€¦


#178

casual henez reference on pg 279

#180

I just saw that the second comic ended, so I read the first one as like a prequel of sorts, and I already miss them.
Please consider making more, this shitty MS Paint comic is better than I could have ever hoped for.


#181
There's a spy creepin' around here!

Iā€™m sure Iā€™ll do more in the near future. Though, I did have an idea about putting our heroes in short comics presenting some of the fan-made dungeons Iā€™ve seen around. They all look great and all we got ingame is a boring puppet master reskin with bullshit enemies.

So yea, weā€™ll see.


#182

Thereā€™s a party at the Manor that is to die for!

So to anyone still following this thread, Happy Spooktober (hopefully). Just drew up a quick image to celebrate and tell DECA to hur- I mean, get it out in a timely manner. Aside from that, just a quick update of what Iā€™ll be doing for the comics.

Currently, I am making pages for a winter holiday comic. Iā€™ll do as many as I can since this will be one on a deadline, and release them day by day. Rhea wonā€™t be the star of it, but Iā€™m sure youā€™ll all get a kick out of it anyway.

For the next comic in the official canon, Iā€™ll post a poll sometime soon with all the ideas I have. They mostly convey the same story but from different points of view or different paces.

Anyway, have a fun holiday season, and Iā€™ll see you all soon.


#183

Rhea with that maid skin I see? Iā€™ll be looking forward to the festive comics!

Also, I just realized how much your comic fills that void in my day. Iā€™l be waiting patiently for your next one!
