MY Secret Identity!

Cheerleadra and Villain Cheerleadra fight over the Mild-Mannered Elliot Secret Identity form!

And no, this doesn't make any sense!

And yes, Sarah probably would take some offense if she ever noticed similarities between the "Mild-Mannered" form and herself!

Commentary

I imagine this new edition of the game is more "new to Ellen" than "very new in general", so George would've listened to this more faithful adaptation of the tutorial adventure a while ago.

I'm not sure how often this sort of issue comes up, but there are pre-made adventures for RPGs that people can use, so the possibility does exist that someon...

What's missing?

- At egscomics 

Commentary

Nanase will enjoy punching you as per a pre-agreed sparring arrangement in which punches are pulled, and over-the-top dramatics are declared.

She won't enjoy punching you if it's because you're a jerk who's being a jerk, as she's all too aware of real life seriousness that is serious.

She might get some satisfaction out of it for vario...

INTENSE COMBAT!

COMBAT!

- At egscomics 

Commentary

The more common way of putting it is "roll for initiative," but I don't know how game-specific that phrasing is, and I'm aware not everyone reading this knows common RPG mechanics.

(That latter part is also why I left out any mention of initiative modifiers that they'd to their dice rolls.)

Turn order!

Like George, I've ...

Next Sketchbook / Milestone Image Next Week

The next one will be Friday, April 28 (early access April 27). This will be an image that was voted on with Cheerleadra in conflict with Cheerleadra.

Production on Monday's story comic page was delayed due to rewrites, and I wound up making most of it today (Sunday).

I've decided not to have a sketchbook image this week in the hope of avoiding burnout, and to avoid delaying Story pages and/or EGSNP.

It's all fine. Nothing to worry about.

Neither is me flipping through the book.

I'm not looking up anything you need to be concerned about.

Character Only Suggestions for End of Month Poll

Please suggest 1-2 characters for the end of month poll! (End of month poll will begin midday Thursday, April 27th, and end with the month.)

Please only suggest characters. Possible forms and scenarios will be sorted out later.

I will also be considering answers to a previous survey, but what I really wanted to...

Dan's Choice: Another Bunny!

Elliot, a bit shorter than normal, joins the party!

What does this mean for the odds of this being canon? Well, it could still be a dream, of course, but for this to be something for the review show, they'd have to be feeling EXCEPTIONALLY bold!

And probably give Elliot yet another secret identity, as though Elliot didn't have enough of those.

Party order

I just wanted to draw a side view of the full party walking in a panel, and I somehow wound up with this?

That panel's still going to happen, mind you. Just remember: No matter where Rich is, he's technically in the front.

Nanase NOT smash?

- At egscomics 

Commentary

Thank you, everyone, for your patience during the EGSNP break! I really, really needed it. I'll probably take another short break after this storyline is over, though I might not. I'll figure it out when we get there.

My understanding of sneak attacks in some games is that they're not necessarily that sneaky? This might just be because of ...

Elliot Joining The Bunnies

Here are options for Elliot joining the bunnies! (Ashley and Susan.) 

Note that when I say "join", I mean it. Susan and Ashley will be on either side of Elliot in the resulting image.

Elliot's form will be feminine with their normal feminine figure (identical to Ellen), and will be in a bunny outfit. What's up for vote is height, an...

Dan's Choice - Susan and Ashley Easter Rabbits

BUNNIES!

I think the closest this can get to becoming canon would be Susan becoming more bold while on camera with her review show, finding a place to record with a green screen, and Susan assuming no one will conclude "magic" if they use magic to mess with their hair and eye colors.

That, or Elliot's dreaming this. That, too, could totally become canon.

EASTER!

The color nonsense in this image is because it's the sort of colors I associate with Easter...

OH SNAP EASTER (Poll for next sketchbook)

I'm going to make a milestone image tomorrow, and I need help choosing two characters for Bunny Girl duty! The two with the most votes will be chosen! (Can vote for more than one, characters are in alphabetical order)

If there's some sort of tie, I will choose the two that amuse me most of those chosen, and keep in mind whoever I didn't choose from the tie for something else later.

All forms will be feminine. Other than that, characters won't have their f...

Susan Additional Practice Survey

If you could have Susan practice physical contact with anyone in the comic (knowing that it would very likely be platonic), who would you want to see?

View Post

PRACTICE

Ashley, not pictured, is an impulsively helpful person.

One day, Susan was talking about how she was working on becoming more comfortable with physical contact.

On that same day, Elliot had been talking about the struggles of keeping both himself and Susan in frame and in focus when filming their review show due to the limited room they were working with.

Before she knew what she was doing, Ashley leapt at a solution that would help everyone, and Elliot and Susan found thems...

Short EGSNP Break - Return Tuesday, April 11th

I've decided the next EGSNP is going to be Tuesday, April 11th.

I want to sort some things out about the conclusion of the current storyline, and if I keep going right now, it will effectively be haphazard filler. I think the end result will be best if I take a short break from it.

My apologies for this delay (and not deciding on it yesterday when I could have cleanly announced it with the Thursday comic).

Chicken names

Commentary

There have been plenty of times when I've felt sure of someone's name, but still felt the need to double check before saying it.

There are also plenty of characters in fiction whose names I simply do not remember. I remember their appearance, I remember the things they do, but ask me their name? Unless their names get said a lot, odds ar...

Milestone Image Time (Sometime Thursday)

There's still going to be a milestone image this week, and I'll post it to early access as soon as it's done, but it's going to be sometime during the day Thursday (instead of approximately an hour before Thursday).

I apologize for it not being a full 24 hours early access this week.

Commentary

Before we get to the rest of the commentary, no, a character using a "rogue" class doesn't have to behave a certain way in any games I'm aware of. It's just a set of skills that they could have for various reasons.

I would have just had that as a note at the end of the commentary, but I know for a fact that, for s...

Dan's Choice: Legendary Rhoda

100% original concept in which a legendary doggo wants someone to cook lots of food for them.

Any resemblance to Campfire Cooking In Another World With My Absurd Skill is entirely coincidental, and any mention of it is, itself, absurd.

Okay, so maybe this started out with me wanting to have another try at making Rhoda's hip obviously big, and somehow turned into an homage to an anime / manga I like.

They still somehow don't look very big to me. My mind has been WARP...
