I don’t think that sneaking should really be accompanied by yelling at your party not to follow. But I always do, because I am terrible at sneaking.
At Basic, they gave me the “light” machine gun and radio, and told me to sneak up to the target. This is about what it sounded like: https://youtu.be/PrQQZuLru9s?t=32s

Hey, why aren’t the arrows on fire? All fantasy arrows have to be on fire, if you believe movies.
The best moment in movie battle history was in “Timeline”. The enemy *doesn’t* set their arrows on fire! The use of these “Night Arrows” is clearly cheating, and everyone is offended!

I miss being able to brainstorm with @lledra-art and @neshtasplace. I also miss getting @lledra-art to help me with special issues because she can draw.

This is why *I* drive places. I’m so used to driving that I get car-sick as a passenger . I think something and the car doesn’t do it, it hurts. Also, most of my friends don’t drive at all, so I am the only choice for pilot.
That map is my attempt to draw the Kingdom of Ealdormere in the Society for Creative Anachronism. Vindalf’s world is highly inconsistent being both medieval-fantasy and modern. The geography tends to change based on what I can draw.
Next issue is #200, and a special guest comic from @lledra. Make sure to follow and enable notifications to see that!
That puts us half way through my reserves. I really should start working on new ones…
And yes, I see the typo, but I’m not about to fix it after 12 years. It’s traditional now.

So, it turns out that attacking a bunch of Jedi is a bad idea. Especially if you’re a team of three idiots armed with cheap laser swords and no reconnaissance.
On one side, I just heard Darth-tagnan shouting “Avenge me!” as he went down. Our other companion was not to be seen, but his girlfriend (now wife) was telling him to just stay down.
Luckally, I had a plan. I bought a few gallons of the legendary Pennsic chocolate milk right before our raid on the Kingdom of Lochac. It was enough to ransom our freedom.
They did make us eat some Vegemite to learn our lesson. 😛
The number of followers my terrible comic has is getting out of hand. 6 more and we get a bonus issue. :-p
You guys are going to make me start drawing again. Who has time for that?

Scientifically, the Gold-shirts had an 18% chance to get killed on the USS Enterprise, under Kirk. The infamous Red-Shirts only had a 10% chance of being killed. (https://nerdist.com/star-trek-red-shirts-werent-statistically-the-most-likely-to-die-after-all/)
But the stereotype remains. I think it’s why they switched colours in TNG, the Redshirt union demanded a safer colour. It didn’t work.

So, with the medical tent selling a hand full of laser swords, to raise money for bandaids etc., at Pennsic: how many lightsabers could be out there?
We failed to take into account that some nerds might bring their own from home. Turns out, that the group from Australia brought a bunch of high quality FX lightsabres with them. So we begin our raid on their camp, and just hear several, much better lightsabres igniting from all directions.
It was a calculated risk… I failed maths twice…

So, way back in issue 183, I recalled the time at Pennsic when we failed to storm a cool pirate ship. Later that next day, one of our friends was telling a story about the bunch of Jedi who took the coll pirate ship. Apparently, there was another group who managed to get their hands on lightsabers. So we decided to raid them, because like how many laser swords could there be in a medieval war?
