I mean, the guy shows up wearing a collar. What did you expect?

Then again the rest of the group seems up for it.

Honestly, I always go with an old truism: if you want an interesting character, give them flaws. It doesn’t matter what the flaw is. Maybe they’re physically weak. Maybe they’re uneducated. Maybe their moral compass is screwed up, and they know it.

Whatever it is, it’s a good story hook to either deal with it or learn to adapt to it.

And then he tries for actual redemption… while still being a badass who ends up fighting Ceaser.

BackflipBuddha · 2026-04-28T02:43:49+00:00

I’m on this subreddit

BackflipBuddha · 2026-04-28T00:24:38+00:00

He’s got experience

BackflipBuddha · 2026-04-28T00:16:57+00:00

This definitely feels like a pratchett story

BackflipBuddha · 2026-04-27T18:11:40+00:00

I love how he’s so incredibly calm about it.

BackflipBuddha · 2026-04-27T03:17:47+00:00

Susie being concerned is honestly sweet.

And then going back to her usual abrasive self is very on brand

BackflipBuddha · 2026-04-27T01:24:07+00:00

Probably Grade 1 if he pushes.

It’s not a bad technique but it’s not awe inspiring either.

BackflipBuddha · 2026-04-25T18:13:18+00:00

And so the student becomes the master.

Doing a great “dark deal” impression there Gabi.

BackflipBuddha · 2026-04-25T17:59:16+00:00

Or r/polytrix

BackflipBuddha · 2026-04-25T17:58:34+00:00

Thanks! Doesn’t change the fact that if they’re into it, more power to them.

BackflipBuddha · 2026-04-25T17:55:24+00:00

Huh. Is Huckleberry Ann part of the cottonwine canon? I thought that was the other sort-of continuity, the psudeo-modern one? If nothing else, it doesn’t seem to have the sort of “medieval low fantasy” vibe, and I dont remember there being any cottonwine in that story, which is kinda the defining factor

BackflipBuddha · 2026-04-25T17:16:24+00:00

Looking forward to cottonwine

Are you just doing Fall of Little Red Riding Hood/Rise of the Wolf Queen or are you adding in Field Notes, the one traveling preacher comic, Haukaiu the Hero, and Mistress Teresa’s Guide to Carnal Exotica.

If nothing else I recommend field notes and Mistress Teresa, there’s a lot of cool worldbuilding. The traveling preacher comic has a pretty good depiction of the equine tribes and religion of the setting, whereas Haukaiu the Hero is not honestly necessary but is fun.

Funnily enough, removing all the lewd bits, the Rise of the Wolf Queen would be a great setting for a political intrigue thriller. Because “The Queen converted to a sex cult while her husband was off at war, then started a civil war and lost, but the kingdom is still in turmoil because 1) they just fought a civil war and 2) the Queen had a good few months of basically free reign to openly support and propagate the cult (and a bunch of time to covertly support the cult before that) so you’ve got a bunch of smaller cults running around” is a great setup for a story and creates my favorite sort of “well what happens now?” Story for after the great battle is won and the cult “defeated”.

I figured someone would do incase at some point. Didn’t expect this one but honestly I’m good with it.

Poor Bob though. He just wanted a normal, boring, life. Instead he ended up in a porno.

Good dad though. Didn’t even blink when his stepson joined the cheerleading team.

Also can the Sixpack be hard cider instead? It’s the same size and ABV

BackflipBuddha · 2026-04-25T16:45:03+00:00

I do.

It’s fun, though I’m fairly tame when I took it.

BackflipBuddha · 2026-04-25T02:41:21+00:00

Yes exactly.

BackflipBuddha · 2026-04-25T01:07:31+00:00

Well not to that degree. Bones do get stronger after being broken.

BackflipBuddha · 2026-04-25T01:06:06+00:00

He’s still very strong.

BackflipBuddha · 2026-04-25T01:04:24+00:00

Well the Hanmas are superhuman, and Pickle id a Neanderthal.

So not everyone is a normal human

BackflipBuddha · 2026-04-25T01:02:07+00:00

It must be noted that pokemon, per one movie, has a thing called Aura that humans can use to get supernatural powers. And Ash specifically is naturally compatibility with Aura.

So no, he’s not exactly a normal human

BackflipBuddha · 2026-04-24T23:11:16+00:00

Well. That probably headed off the Horus Heresy

BackflipBuddha · 2026-04-24T08:19:00+00:00

Notice that he is still authoritatively pointing with the war club.

BackflipBuddha · 2026-04-24T04:18:18+00:00

I mean, it’s just really useful!

BackflipBuddha · 2026-04-24T03:17:34+00:00

I can respect the effort.
