The Dragonboard

Happy Halloween, folks!

My last caper page is tomorrow, though I'm kidnapping Dark Eyes for a couple of months thereafter (just to make more work for Hogan)

Tink

Aaaand finally, I've arrived on-scene (well, okay, as of about 2 hours after this message). No cameos 'til Friday, but I'm here!

Tink

The more the merrier, I think.

Good to have you on board, Riley.

Tink

Cool! Here we go again, then (well, three and a half months to go ^_^)

Does it matter? It's not like any of us are writing hard sci-fi. We've never worried about the laws of physics in prior capers.

Gnume says the ship can't be destroyed. Jim: Your mission, should you choose to accept it...

Good to have you on board!

Tink

I'll try to put something together, but it'll have to wait until July, because I'm mental busy at the moment...

Tink

Well, let me be the first to sign up! Wouldn't want to miss one after four (?!) years on the trot... Anyway, I don't really have an up-to-date cast page, but I'm guessing anyone who cares already knows all my characters. Mike, Tink, Skin and Mysterious Cloak Guy will be boarding the Nostromummy in l...

I dunno - you want the bridge to be small enough that the captain or whoever's in charge can talk to anyone easily without having to do too much running around. It will need to be big enough to fit all the participants in comfortably, but let's not make it enormous just for size's sake. Make it too ...

I don't know that we want to partition things off so everyone can have their own area - won't it be easier if we just throw all the characters more or less straight at each other? Alternatively, if the bridge are has atmosphere, does it make sense to have all the guests, whereever they enter the str...

Beyond a certain point, though, all size becomes meaningless because there's a limit to what the average human imagination can process - a few miles is about the largest distance most people can imagine as an abstract size, and even then they'll only visualise at most a few hundred metres. It's all ...

You realise we're currently talking about a ship big enough that you could probably fit every character from every webcomic ever inside and still not have any of them see each other? Can we at least impose some condition that means characters actually end up running into one another?
Tink

Only if the pyramid is on Earth... but actually, I think I can manage to put things together so that my story adds up and I still manage to make it to the caper for a few days. After all, I need my gang to meet Dark Eyes somewhere, and meeting her in space seems a lot more likely than meeting her el...

Well, just because it's a spaceship doesn't mean it has to be in space, at least, not all the time. On the other hand maybe your gang is in the pyramid, passes through a Door of Ho Gon & ends up on a spaceship? Although personally I was hoping for a three-way tie, but it doesn't look like it's ...

I don't suppose our spaceship could do me a massive favour and land on a pyramid, could it? (I really need a pyramid). It could be a pyramid in cameocomic... You know, Stargate SG-1 had pyramid-shaped spaceships... :wink: I kinda need it to be a pyramid on Earth. Nvm, I'll just do a one-shot of som...

Thanks, dude! Good to finally link up

Tink

*groan* Anyway, sorry I've been so absent from the discussion etc. I had a real burn-out just before Easter and went almost three weeks without raising a pencil in anger, but I'm back now (and, hey, I broke the tie! Booyah!). As far as the presentation goes, I dunno. some people probably do sign up ...

Well, no worries. If we aren't doing a pyramid, I'll just do a one-shot for the caper and keep the pyramid to myself.

Tink

Could have the party in a pyramid. Mummies, snakes, other creepy tomb-like stuff. It would actually be massively convenient for me if it could be a pyramid. (hey guys, sorry I didn't get to the discussion sooner ;D). My plan for October has my characters arriving at a newly-discovered pyramid (in o...
