Hey guys, long time no game!
GM:
Hey Dom! Have a seat, we're playing Exalted. Grab a book, make your character and we'll get started.

Panel 2:
Dom:
Hmm, I've never played Exalted before, what's it like overall?
GM:
You've played White Wolf games before, right? It's the same thing, without the angsty teen vampires.
Panel 3:
Dom:
Oh, hey, it says here that you get bonus dice if you do stunts and flashy stuff...?
GM:
Yeah, the better the description, the more points I award you.
Dom:
I can do that. Let's start.
Panel 4:
GM:
...and the red-haired warrior stares at you in shock, yells "Demons!" and charges. His friends follow his lead. What do you guys do?
player:
I'll activate my prey-freezing gaze ability!
player:
I run for cover.
GM:
Okay. Dom?

Panel 5:
Dom:
Let's see, I will use the spider-foot technique to dash past him and up the wall onto the ceiling above him. As I run past, I'll combo it with another ability, flawless pickpocket...
GM:
That's pretty interesting, I'll award you a--
Dom:
Wait! I'm not done yet.

Some time later
Dom:
...and then from the ceiling, I'll take off my hat and mock him with an upside-down bow, saying "Thank you for the gift"...
GM:
Hold that thought, Dom, I need to feed the baby.
player:
Zzz...

That evening
Dom:
And after I drop back on the floor, I'll land in a reclining position, then let out and exaggerated, contemptuous yawn! So? What do you think?
Panel 8:
GM:
Get out of my house.

Hey all, It seems that somehow we survived Otakon 2005. I'm sitting here getting ready to head back home, and i'm actually looking forward to the nine hour drive :) Hey, i like to drive, it's relaxing :P

Otakon 2005 went really well, i think. It looks like people had a really good time. Our booth really worked out well, and Seraphim did a bang up job on pulling everything together. As for me, even tho I felt like the Naze Nani panel was more like Piro's Howling Disaster than the more slick show i had hoped for... people seemed to enjoy it enough, and in the end thats what matters. If you were at Otakon 2005, and I either had a chance to see you and sign/draw stuff for you, or if you came to the panel, or if you were kind enough to purchase stuff from us - thank you, it was a lot of fun seeing everyone, and having a chance to connect with fans makes me feel like maybe i'm doing ok with Megatokyo after all. ^^;;

One of the best things about the con that i've heard is that the Artist's Alley was a huge success this year, and everyone had a really good show. I was very disappointed that i was never able to make it over to it (it's on the opposite side of the convention from where i was, and i just never could make it over - in retrospect, i should have tried to go over friday night :( Anyways, i'm glad everyone seemed to have a good show.

It's always fun to do conventions, but I am looking forward to getting home. Next comic will go up wedneday and we can start to really dive into chapter 7 :)

Why is there no SGD today? Simple.

Because two SGD in a row is simply too many. And you guys deserve better than that--but I'm not the person who can provide you with that. Fred will be back shortly, and MT will resume its (admittedly erratic) schedule then.

Plus, I spent most of today alternating between playing Exalted and making googly eyes at our GM's 2-month-old baby, who's chubby and smelly and absolutely adorable. I don't have much hate left in me after that.

So yeah. Wait 'til Wednesday.

Edit 8/22: Okay, okay. Enough people have asked for one that I'll do one. Expect it in a few hours.
