Girl Genius Comic for Friday, January 08, 2021
Added 2021-01-08 03:11:45 +0000 UTCOh noooo! Play stupid games, win stupid prizes, right? Nobody ever accused our Professoressa of being terribly clever.
We just finished getting all the interior illustrations to Steve Jackson Games for the Girl Genius GURPS book. This is a huge deal for us, and we are very happy about it!
Now that this page is up, I'm back to working on BackerKit for Sparks and Monsters, as well as those pdfs that I promised everyone. That's a really good thing too, because one of them (the one for Rain Games' Girl Genius video game Kickstarter) includes Buck Godot: Gallimaufry, and getting that done will be a HUGE monkey off my back. I can't wait to send it out!
One sad thing, Offworld Designs is going out of business. They're having a big 50% off sale that includes all of our T shirts, so visit them if you're in the market for some fun stay-at-home loungewear.
Thank you for reading, and a very Happy 2021 to you all!

Living under the Heterodynes is exhausting and maddening. Most of the time they don’t mind, but a chance to chase after them and try to beat them to a pulp is a good way to let off steam.

2021-01-11 02:34:08 +0000 UTCThis has to be a game to the Heterodynes or else they would have turned all the townspeople into weasels years ago. Bearing in mind Agatha is relatively sane (still a spark) by Heterodyne standards and is still rarely seen without a death ray on her person.

2021-01-09 05:04:40 +0000 UTCI'm pretty sure that "No" isn't a safe answer there, either. I mean, it's possible they could take offense, or something. You really need - um, hold on just a moment. What was that you asked? ... Oh, right. I'm not sure. Ask Le'letha here, they seem pretty official and stuff. Where was I? Oh, right. I need to go get something for just a moment, but I'll be right back. Could you talk with this mysterious glowing child who asked me about who should wear this mythic hat they have while I'm doing that?

2021-01-09 03:31:14 +0000 UTCYou missed the guy in the very front on the left. He doesn't look happy at all, despite the fact he said it was 'very good' that she'd gotten started without him.

2021-01-08 20:12:37 +0000 UTCI'm sure the Heterodynes have historically considered it *great fun*! A big game of tag/hide-and-seek, in their own home, with their own devoted people, with edged weapons and fire? Outrun mock enemies all night, make it back to the Castle triumphant by morning, sleep the day away. Sounds like something they'd be into.

2021-01-08 15:16:26 +0000 UTCI assume that this is why the Heterodynes retire to the castle. the question is: do they do so before or after this has a chance to happen?
Paul Rendell
2021-01-08 08:08:46 +0000 UTCI was wondering about that, too. If so, the Heterodynes live through it, which is a good sign.

2021-01-08 07:32:27 +0000 UTCI'm thinking of Lord of Misrule customs, as well.
Le'letha
2021-01-08 06:00:21 +0000 UTCIs this what they do to all their Heterodynes, then?
RoofPig
2021-01-08 05:08:08 +0000 UTCOK, class, let's review: When someone asks you if you are a god, you say YES. When a mysterious glowing child asks you to wear a mythic hat and play an unspecified game, you say NO. This WILL be on the test. Class dismissed!
Le'letha
2021-01-08 04:53:54 +0000 UTCYes, because smiling townspeople are *always* a good sign.

2021-01-08 04:32:22 +0000 UTCShades of the Wild Hunt?
Robert McGann
2021-01-08 03:54:50 +0000 UTCOh, townspeople--she was just wondering where they'd all gone off to, and it turns out they were getting their party shoes on...
Ed
2021-01-08 03:37:13 +0000 UTCSo, ghosts of victims or of townspeople?
Connor
2021-01-08 03:17:24 +0000 UTCWell at least they're smiling (except for the two at the front left corner).
