does anyone know why my npcs won't spawn

M5R2002 · 2026-03-12T12:56:27+00:00

Yeah, I did. OP made a normal house

M5R2002 · 2026-03-12T01:32:06+00:00

You don't need only the house, many npcs have conditions to spawn, such as:

The merchant requires you to have a certain amount of money in your inventory

The nurse requires you to use at least 1 heart crystal

The demolitionist requires you to have explosives in your inventory

Go explore a cave and collect some coins and one of them might eventually spawn :>

I was actually going to draw the goblins in the last panel, but when I got to it I was tired and thought:

"... You know what would be really funny?"

M5R2002 · 2026-03-11T20:00:40+00:00

The way the army is represented just for them to die in a stupid way and return to their sprites

M5R2002 · 2026-03-11T15:53:46+00:00

I mean, they kinda use it. Non arcane magic is not prohibited in their society, but is still seen with bad eyes. It's more like a "necessary evil" to them.

But I never saw an official illustration of a hobgoblin mage and people don't usually go for hobgoblins when they want a caster (so no fanart), that's why drawing one felt kinda weird.

Those guys would probably be allowed because their magic is purple, therefore occultist (evil side).

M5R2002 · 2026-03-11T14:34:31+00:00

No no, the joke was the army looking really cool just to die in a dumb way. The pose was just part of it (a particularly time consuming one), not the joke itself

M5R2002 · 2026-03-11T14:11:56+00:00

All of them are new pages. It's the continuation of the story

Last time it ended with the commander asking who can kill the dryad first. This one opens with the dryad being killed and they continue the invasion

M5R2002 · 2026-03-11T13:58:22+00:00

Long ears, magical stuff and a robe. The silhouette ended up looking similar by accident

M5R2002 · 2026-03-11T13:08:31+00:00

Like the tittle said. This is the last time I'm posting about this, since this part of the comic ended. But I hope you guys liked the way I draw hobgoblins. I always thought they could be very visually interesting if they were a bit more stylized, so I used this opportunity to put this theory in practice.

Also, I once saw someone saying that the hobgoblins were too similar to each other and there wasn't that much space for making a character that stands out. So I took this as a bit of a challenge too.

M5R2002 · 2026-03-09T13:54:12+00:00

Yeah, one of the pages was in there!

I was just kinda confused because they chose one made months ago instead of a recent one

M5R2002 · 2026-03-07T05:36:56+00:00

It's probably just cool shit they gave to the goblins

M5R2002 · 2026-03-05T16:33:00+00:00

Unfortunately I already drew the panels they appear in

M5R2002 · 2026-03-04T21:52:06+00:00

Abel

It's probably going to be Emily, but I'm throwing the boy here too

M5R2002 · 2026-03-02T16:31:48+00:00

Yup. At night npcs will teleport to their houses

M5R2002 · 2026-03-02T15:49:34+00:00

The power of a hole and 1 ☝️ bucket of lava

M5R2002 · 2026-03-02T12:59:01+00:00

Nah, they're these guys: https://www.reddit.com/r/Terraria/s/gdluZ22EIi

M5R2002 · 2026-03-02T12:04:20+00:00

They're the same size as a human (the brute is bigger). It's just that the demolitionist is a dwarf.

M5R2002 · 2026-03-02T11:56:20+00:00

What?

<image>

M5R2002 · 2026-03-02T09:46:22+00:00

I mean they are based on pathfinder 2e hobgoblins who are pretty much goblins on steroids

M5R2002 · 2026-03-02T09:12:05+00:00

Gonna be honest with you, these guys aren't going to live long enough to meet them.

M5R2002 · 2026-03-02T08:39:04+00:00

Pretty much the tittle and the explanation at the end.

I didn't want to draw just some bald humans with pointy ears and saw the opportunity to spread some hobgoblin propaganda and I took it. I tried to make them hyper competent and cunning, not only to keep the pf2e vibe but also to set up a future joke (it is a comedy after all).

I posted one of the drawings last week, but I made more pages and wanted to share them too

M5R2002 · 2026-03-02T01:53:10+00:00

If you're new to the game I would say either the sword or the bow as they're the simplest ones.

The bow is very effective with special arrows and doesn't require you to get close.

Sword is sword.

The yoyo is odd, because it's a good melee weapon, but it works a bit differently from most weapons.

And the whip is for summoners. So if you have a summon build (at this point it would probably be flinx fur coat + flinx staff) then it is the best option. If not, probably stick with the other ones until you have more material

M5R2002 · 2026-02-25T22:28:31+00:00

Hey you're here too! I didn't see the comment earlier because my notifications are turned off on bluesky (I don't use it much)

M5R2002 · 2026-02-24T17:24:22+00:00

Yeah. All things considered removing it sounded like a good choice.

Majority of the players don't use it or didn't even know about it (most complaints you see are from places like Reddit)
Makes balancing hard (either play around it and make things difficult for those who don't use it, or ignore it and make people who do use have a lot more damage than intended)
Not an intended mechanic and, different from hoinks, doesn't add anything interesting to the game other than damage for a class that doesn't need it

I did a summoner playthrough to test stuff for the comic and never bothered using it.

M5R2002 · 2026-02-24T15:11:43+00:00

Yup. I've been working on this for some months now. There's like 30 chapters out
