NP Comic for Thursday, May 25, 2023 Sense this makes not. Rogue or whatever, you should be benefiting the party, or perhaps if you are evil, benefiting yourself. This just seems chaotic stupid. Hence the "WHAT." from three other players. . . . Maybe she has a plan? I don't see it.

NP Comic for Saturday, May 20, 2023 This overly convoluted cultist plan does not seem suitable for an introductory module. Even if the cultists had successfully kidnapped Nanase's character, she would have been unable to translate the hieroglyphic message. 'Sick' dates this comic as being framed in a previous generation of slang. Not as bad as 'tubular', 'rad', or 'bad' though. It's really hep, isn't it, daddy-o. I'm hoping this wraps up soon. The eye opening of Rich has been accomplished, now we're just beating a dead horse, er, uhm, chicken. Hopefully not actually dead yet. So far I think no one has died, including cultists.

NP Comic for Tuesday, May 16, 2023 Those aren't inaccurate. George's is not a 'fancy chicken' in the same sense, though. I don't think I've seen anything that looks like the head feathers on the third one, though. They seem to be doing better at this than Ellen did.

Comic for Thursday, May 11, 2023 Ruse works. " (Don't think too hard about the logic of me saying she definitely would have rolled a three, for there is none there) " - The die has '3' on all sides.
-
NP Comic for Tuesday, May 9, 2023 Hoping to trigger a reaction by pretending to read the inscription. Sure, why not? Savvy cultist would hesitate and see if she seemed to actually understand. But I think we are on a railroad here, so it should work.
-
NP Comic for Saturday, May 6, 2023 Dan has a plan. I don't see anything beyond George and Larry's speculation, so wondering what Nanase's additional insight is. The checker board configuration looks improbable. It seems that white should have already taken that piece that is threatening to jump and king. The white piece blocking the white jump had to move after the black jumping piece moved, in which case why did white not jump the black piece earlier? Now we need a black chicken to jump the white chicken . . .

NP Comic for Thursday, May 4, 2023 It's a pretty good picture of a chicken, basic though it may be.
-
NP Comic for Tuesday, May 2, 2023 Well, that kind of breaks the player/character separation boundary, doesn't it? "I want to make sure Maribel is OK." "Roll to perceive the chicken." - Seems a bit over board, really, so I expect there should be a real surprise here. There ought to be anyway, unguarded sacrificial chicken and what not. "Hey, Maribel, what's cooking?" "Bwawk!" <thud> "Maribel faints when you ask her about what is cooking."
-
NP Comic for Saturday, Apr 29, 2023 The chicken is in an empty room. I'm tempted to say check for traps, take the chicken, and leave. Come back to deal with the cultists if necessary.
-
Here. Yeah, once you been in a few magical battles for your life, rolling dice to save a fictional chicken pales by comparison. Nanase needs to borrow Grace's imagination.
-
NP Comic for Tuesday, Apr 18, 2023 How did those people happen to know to drop down just then? Why weren't they focused on their cult's ceremony? Weren't the large holes in the ceiling obvious? Did the party get a spot check? It's a D20, Ellen.

NP Comic for Saturday, Apr 15, 2023 If you ever want to add tension to a TTRPG game you are running, just roll some dice and then flip pages. It could mean something. Pointed questions are useful, too.

https://www.egscomics.com/egsnp/wie-116 Brilliant strategy. On par with the Grail Knights' classic tactic of RUN AWAY!

NP Comic for Tuesday, Mar 28, 2023 Rich makes a valid point, as Nanase attests. What he was responding to is also is also a valid point, all to often, property is seized from a suspect, and they have to fight to get it back, in spite of not being convicted. Look at Steve Jackson Games. Imagine how often this happens to folks without a public voice. I think she should have said, "Right, I already looted that room."

NP Comic for Thursday, Mar 23, 2023 Seems that Larry would already know subdual vs lethal damage. Odd question. In spite of this, Ellen explains, then realizes she jumped to conclusions. George saves the day, sort of. This seems to me to be too much detail, bogging down progress. If you know this material, this explanation is unnecessary. If you don't it's not enough to really explain it. It's kind of a weird mechanic anyway. The gist is that beating something up inspires loyalty. There may be some truth in that in the short term, but in the long run, you are only making enemies and setting up future challenges to authority. In terms of simply not killing things, though, it works.

NP Comic for Tuesday, Mar 21, 2023 Nanase is frustrated that she can not float all the time. Meh, walking is healthy exercise, Nanase. I guess she's getting a handle on role playing. It kind of feels like she's overthinking it.
-
Comic for Saturday, Mar 11, 2023 This may be what Rich needs to hear?
-
NP Comic for Tuesday, Mar 7, 2023 No real surprises, they beat the small group. Mission focus might mean sparing the cultist is a foolish risk.

NP Comic for Thursday, Mar 9, 2023 This is interesting. Nanase is being honest and giving heartfelt thanks. Rich is not taking it in the spirit it was intended, it seems. His world view still needs work, which makes sense, we don't change overnight. Still the 'Error' storm cloud is foreboding. He went from 'Girls can't roleplay' to 'These girls know exactly what they're doing' and now she's saying 'I don't know what I'm doing'. Huh. Which direction will he carom off of that? In the commentary, Dan talks about writers writing what they think the audience wants to see. It's a subtext, after he talks about writers writing what they want. I think pandering to the audience is a mistake. A write should write their story, their vision, and not water it down with other people's issues, elsewise you loose direction. Yes, you will loose some readers who don't want to share your vision, but you will be true to yourself, and have a loyal following. The alternative is a pile of mush that satisfies no one. Of course, there is room to grow, and your vision can change. Then there's Randy Milholland who goes out of his way to piss off readers that annoy him. This amuses me. Does it amuse you too, New Friend? (0) (o)

NP Comic for Thursday, Mar 2, 2023 Lemme see those dice. That 20 was awfully convenient. "Rich smash." "You wouldn't like me when I'm angry." "We barely tolerate you when you're not angry!" "See, I'm right!"
-
NP Comic for Tuesday, Feb 28, 2023 Cue Larry's bard: "When danger reared its ugly head, Nanase turned her tail and fled; Brave, brave Nanase!" (Which is bad news, because if I remember correctly, the bard gets eaten.) The good news is they will run into Rich when they pursue her, and he should have a moment of surprise.
-
Here. Rich to the rescue?!?

NP Comic for Thursday, Feb 23, 2023 Nanase's rogue goes full lawful stupid. Oops, indeed. "What did she just do?" Reactions: Larry's face is consternation, along the lines of "We're screwed" - probably not true, but the situation got more difficult. George's is confusion, "Why would you do that?" Riches is inscrutable, ellipses - He's either pissed, or "I knew she couldn't role play", or "I knew girls can't role play", or "Hey, that's my role!" Difficult to say which. He's clearly not thrilled though. Ellen's response is priceless. "You f***ed up, Honey, I'm explaining how ..." Pretty gentle, really, and hopefully preemptively defuses anyone else's presumably hostile response. Nanase's "Oops" response says she learned something, but it may be overwhelmed by "I knew I hated this." So, for today's comic, she's actually playing a rouge, applying the red to her cheeks as clown style makeup. Which may be appropriate if they have a TPK before they even reach the climax of the module.

NP Comic for Tuesday, Feb 21, 2023 Nanase is determined to role play. I am curious if this works for her.
-
NP Comic for Tuesday, Feb 14, 2023 No, Nanase, you're supposed to roll the dice, not tumble yourself! Good thing she saw the wire. That could have been a quick session.
