I absolutely love sub-plots in a game. They aren’t directly related to the main plot (which I actually have one, surprise, surprise), but sometimes you can get extras out of it, like better equipment, more experience, or even opening up new doors. So, the idea that a player asks for a sub-plot, or is offered one, is one of those appealing things to me. Some of my favorite games, Torg for example, players can request a sub-plot that seems interesting. In my Exalted games, I do the same thing: offer the players interesting distraction. Sometimes they take them, sometimes they don’t.
This is the end of the second arc. I seem to have done the gray-scale thing again, maybe that would be a good indicator of the end of the arcs. Of course, then I’d have to change it since this one uses more than one shade of gray! I’m going to try a couple new artist things with the next one, mainly because I want to see if the format I’m trying to do for a computer game would also work for this comic. It is a, um, flat style of artwork instead of the pseudo-perspective I’m using now that is a royal pain in the ass to do. It looks nice, but I wonder if a full-on 2D would look more fitting with the style.
