Oh hell yeah Prequel.

It's awesome Katia is finally learning how to be useful

>DRUGS

Prequel is great. I just wish the command-givers didn't feel like they need to write a fucking novel to Katia every time she screws something up.

It's not MSPA or anything else done by Hussie, nor is it related in any way but the place it was started, so, no, it doesn't belong here.

>>48137
Agreed, at a certain point she screws up so much there is no need to do a whole hugbox session.

>>48163
We've had fanadventures on /mspa/ and discussions about them before, and no one had a problem with them. The owner of +4 even did one. Learn your history before you bitch about something on a site you only started frequenting, thanks in advance.

Also can someone please post the link to this one? I haven't been on the mspa forums in ages.

>>48172
It broke free of the MSPA forums and now has its own site.

Love Prequel. I disagree that the big "comfort session" influxes should stop, though. As long as the author doesn't bother to include separate reactions to too many of them - which is kind of a waste of time/effort - wishing better for Katia is a huge part of experiencing the comic. If it weren't, she probably wouldn't be made so sympathetic through the workings of cruel plotfate and her weird-ass neuroses.

So it makes some of the commenters look white-knighty. Eh. Personally, I'm more glad than embarrassed for the attention it's getting.

prequel is like if TES and homestuck had an alcoholic cat baby
i love it so fucking much

tell me what she does with the pineapple

you tell me right now

>>48274
She slices it, adds some sugar and proceeds to eat it.

>>48274

Can I just jump into this story without knowing anything about Oblivion or whatever?

>>48285
Yeah. I read it today and it is pretty good, and I don't know fuckall about Oblivion aside from the fact that the Alternian text in Homestuck is upside-down mirrored Daedric letters. I guess it might enhance the experience if you do know it, but being oblivious doesn't really take much away.

>>48285
yeah its pretty easy to jump into, hell might even be a bit more enjoyable because it then reads like a good high fantasy adventure.

>>48181
I like them because of this page here: http://prequeladventure.com/2011/05/361/

>Some legends do speak of heroes whose fates were unwritten. Their destinies were said to be ambiguous even to the gods, who could only respond to the heroes’ actions – or attempt to guide them with no guarantee of success. Often, these mortals would grow unimaginably powerful, and their choices would affect the lives of millions. It was said to be a blessing and a curse: to hold your own fate, but to be the unknowable black wall that clouded the future from the divines…

It basically implies that we, the readers submitting commands, are the gods of the Elder Scrolls universe directing Katia. And when she screws up, the gods feel bad and try to comfort her and get her back to her journey.

Though if the comic becomes bombarded with them, and I doubt it will happen, then it would get annoying.

>>48285

you might miss out on a few jokes but otherwise you'll be fine

I just want Katia to get to Skingrad and meet up with Glarthir.

welp, I wonder if this will turn into a thing or if Katia will also thing it's a friendship diamond.

>>48905
>friendship diamond
moirallegiance

>>48934

I don't know what this means, but i'm liking this new necromancer guy, even if he is top heavy.

>>49194
I really hope that panel becomes canonized.

Well this update was fun, hopefully next update Dmitri will actually be able to leave.

>>49199
It pretty much just did the opposite

>>49436

yeah, didn't see that shit coming.

so wait, if luck can be compounded, what if...
(oh man this is so stupidly nerdy)
what if you had a potion of Felix Felicis and you used it during the most crucial and dangerous parts of brewing a huge batch of Felix Felices and used that to brew an even bigger pot and so on until you had enough to have perfectly good luck for the rest of your life

>>49513
man this occurred to me like immediately after reading about the stuff

>>49515
>>49513
This is basically exactly how the alchemy exploit in Morrowind worked. Not sure if it also works in Oblivion.
You'd simply brew a potion to enhance your character's intelligence, which would allow them to brew better potions of intelligence etc. etc. until your intelligence was so stupidly high that you could then brew a potion that made your character so strong they could kill just about any enemy with one hit. Tended to instantly shatter the weapon you used, too.

>>49565
And that's why I loved magic in Morrowind. Shit was crazy.

welp, if he gets that ring then I can see exactly where this is going. Katia will be unable to do ANYTHING to him, and she'll cry. again.

>>49624
I just set up a table just so I could flip it.

something tells me Gharug may be the final boss of Prequel. also..
>Gharug's lower back
oh my gooooodddd

>>49658
he's actually the real hero. he kills katia and ends up in the jail cell where oblivion starts.

i mean he is a guy who goes around killing things and taking stuff. basically already a rpg protagonist.

here's hoping ASOTIL saves the fucking day on this one, in a glorious flash of course, and that Dmitri doesn't die, I love that guy so much you don't understand.

>>49624
It could have been worse. Out of all the possible gifts, the fire resistance ring was probably the least harmful one. The amulet reflected spells instead of simply absorbing them, and the wand was an offensive item that silenced the caster.

>>49796

yeah I guess, I just hope Kaz doesn't pull something so that the ring gets stolen anyway from the letter, since he didn't steal or check(if I remember correctly) Quill-Weave's letter last time.

aw shit, this hurricane thing is effecting even us outside of the east coast because Kaz is out of internet and can't update.

new update.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKING SHIIIIIIT

Dmitri and Katia are monumentally bad at not getting mugged.

LOOK AT HIS FACE
LOOK AT HIS GOOFY FACE

>>50229
It looks like his "Clover!" face.

NO FUCKING WAY.

NO FUCKING WAY THAT JUST HAPPENED.

NO

NO WHY DID THIS HAPPEN THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN I THOUGHT HE WAS A MAIN CHARACTER

well.... damn

Guys, don't worry! He's necromancer! He'll just walk his ass right out of the afterlife!

Right?

>>50265
Kazerad kept reminding people that even though Katia seems to be the main character of the game, there's still a strong possibility that she'll wind up dead on the side of the road somewhere.

I guess they weren't quite getting the hint!

DROPPED

I stand corrected.

Betastuck where people are beta as fuck in a medieval settings and minor characters are the superior ones.

Yeah that's not convincing at all.

>>50265
because someone suggested it.

some reader out there wont be happy till katia is in a dungeon somewhere being gangraped to death. comic dropped

You know, I didn't think I was that emotionally invested in this comic yet. But I read that update and felt this horrible, churning sadness.
HERE'S TO HOPING THINGS GET BETTER 8D

I was getting bored of the necromancer hijinks and whatnot.
But this!
Damn it all to hell.
I mad.

>>50292
ahahahahahahahahhahahahah

Yeah no, joining in on the Dropped.

Not even joking.

I'm interested to see how many fans Kaz loses today.

>same MSPA art style
>occasional MSPA jokes
>character develop on par with MSPA
>kill em off nonchalantly like MSPA

>same crazy reaction like MSPA

this guys got it

>>50306
>I'm interested to see how many fans Kaz loses today.

I watch most of the Prequel discussions around the internet, and this is actually the <i>only</i> one I've found where anyone has talked about dropping it because of the last update.

Discussions don't always represent the bulk of visitors, though. I'm definitely going to be watching my stats page over the next couple days to see if the latest developments have an impact on readership levels. If anyone else is curious, I can post the graphs after they've had time to develop.

>>50310
dont worry bout it kaz.

My (the first, on here) "DROPPED" was just a little riff on what i thought was to come.
You've got a nice comic here, and I'm looking forward to read the rest of it

>>50309
I doubt it will make much of a difference. But post graphs please! We are homestuck fans we love graphs (especially time travel ones)

>>50309
I'll be sticking with it for the long haul! This sadness is only temporary. Make me laugh again, plz.

"This sadness is only temporary."

you don't know kaz very well, do you

funny
it was but moments ago "dropping" the comic was unanimous.

I feel bad for not understanding why people are so up in arms about this.

>>50309
Dude, this is a MSPA forum. Everyone DROPS the comic every update.

When a new update is posted, everyone picks it back up again, rages, drops again, picks back up when new update is posted. etc. etc.

>>50313
>dont worry bout it kaz.

Hah, don't worry about me worrying. Prequel is a pretty big learning experience for me, so I love tracking people's reactions to the various events.

It actually looks like we've hit an all-time readership high today. Attached is the graph showing the number of viewers over the last month, with today at the end. Of course, what really matters is the data for the next couple days, when we can see how many current readers choose to leave and how many new readers choose to stay.

You might notice that there's usually a peak when I update and a crash the day after an update. I'm not sure how much of this is due to people using RSS feeds for notification, how much is due to word-of-mouth ("have you seen the latest Prequel update?"), and how much is due to people realizing I only update every other day or so. When I have the time to update daily again, it'll be interesting to see what this does to the bumpyness.

>>50319

I can't put it into words why I liked him either, but I did, and now he's dead, possibly forever, we just have to be more careful with the other side characters we like. Quill-Weave for instance.

>>50324

Kaz, everyone will still love you. Gambino and Bibliophael though...they might have a tougher time when they post in your threads. Also just wondering, was Dmitri going to be robbed no matter what item the people chose?

>>50324
>When I have the time to update daily
This must be prevented at all costs.

GET THIS MAN AN IRC CLIENT.

Eh, I am sad that Dmitri died, because I liked him

But this is a comic about making a cat cry. We knew this going in guys.
I'd like some good things to happen to the heroes, but I know that's not very likely.

So, yeah. Not going to lie, didn't like this update but you know. opinions.

>>50325
You realize that by mentioning her by name you've doomed her?

>>50336
You realize it was only a matter of time before she was killed anyway.

This is Oblivion. The main hero jumps in and kills random strangers for no reason. That's the only way to play this game man.

>>50338
HEROISM!

>>50340
Exactly

>>50340
The more I stare at it, the more the orc gets closer.

>>50325
Quill-Weave is an actual NPC in Oblivion. Since this is a prequel to Oblivion, she should be safe until someone murders her while playing the actual game.

>>50358
Well, sure, that seems logical, but keep in mind she's a non-essential NPC. You could kill her immediately when starting a new game with no consequences for the storyline whatsoever. Actually I think the only quest she shows up in is that pet rat thing for the fighters' guild.

>>50359
Just because she's not an important character doesn't change the fact that she's in the game this comic is a prequel of. She would still need to survive Prequel in order to be killed by the player in Oblivion.

>>50360
And then, somewhere kazerad says "challenge accepted".

>>50361
He's going to introduce another Argonian named Quill-Weave and have her move into the old one's place after she dies., isn't he?

>>50363
stop giving him ideas, you fuck!!

>>50324
drop the comic and go back to drawing weird enderman porn for /v/

>>50370
Enderman whatnow.

>>50372
new minecraft monster comeing out

>>50370
I've never actually posted in /v/, but this isn't the first time I've heard something about me drawing Enderman porn there. Source?? :o

>>50375
unfortunately /v/ threads disappear in like an hour. all I saw is that there was an anon artist drawing enderman porn there and everyone was calling him kaz and telling him to get back to makeing prequel.

And he never got to hug all kittens. :(

>>50388
What will all his cats do without him ):

What will Mr. Scuffles do without him, does anyone even know he is inside that chest...

well that was a sudden change of pace, everything is going Katia's way, she even said that nothing could possibly go wrong.

everything will go wrong, ASOTIL will probably die and then shortly after Gro-upp will show-upp and just rub it all in her face that everything has gone horribly by robbing her of whatever she has and she has to hobble home to Quill-Weave who will be upset and won't believe that story that a demon's gate has opened up and Katia will be homeless and in the rain.

You know what the REAL problem with the Dmitri thing was? it destroyed the trust between reader and author. I mean we all liked Dmitri and had no reason to think anything bad would happen to him ever, however now any time there's a new character introduced that the story shifts to, we'll assume he'll just die and even at Katia i'm wary to suggest ANYTHING at all because she'll just end up crying and alone again. This time far far away from Quill-Weave's house to break into.

>>50432

although the Jiub song was great.

I'm not believing Dimitri's dead until we see a headless body. And the head.

And even then, he is a necromancer.

"it destroyed the trust between reader and author."

lmao

good stories should upset you and challenge you emotionally, not pat you on the back

>>50450
also prequel is a fanadventure in which harrowing misfortune is a central theme, and the narrative is close in spirit at least to mspa/homestuck

what were you thinking

>>50430
Why do people expect daedra to just suddenly show up in Kvatch? It was stated several times throughout the game that those types of gates were physically impossible before the assassinations. Kvatch should have contractual immortality until the end of the comic.

>>50430
>>50453
Gates? Did I miss something?

>>50454
Oblivion stuff. Don't worry about it too much until/unless Katia winds up in prison.

Or just go play the game, if you like.
