Page 1308 – Them’s Dicin’ Words, Part 7

Guest Author’s Note:

“For something only double the length, doing a double comic felt like it took a lot more than double the effort.

I like to believe Tianhuo is my favourite character not merely because I love dragons. The Longma isn’t a commonly used mythological animal, especially when compared to the similar Qilin/Kirin, and the best way to improve the concept of a dragon horse is to take the descriptor ‘fiery hair’ literally and setting the thing ablaze. Admittedly its a pain to draw her fires all the time and it’s not as cool having Tianhuo with her flames extinguished.

And with that, that’s the end of our excursion into Them’s Fighin’ Herds. For now, at least. The game is currently in Early Access but will reach Version 1.0 soon(-ish), which’ll come with the first chapter of the Story Mode that focuses on Arizona. That’ll be useful for the dungeon masters in the community looking for more world-building. I would like to run a campaign at some point in a TFH setting when we know more about it. But nevertheless, I hope you have enjoyed my comics and have an excellent day.”

TFH DM: And so, with Arizona’s knowledge of The Prairie, she leads you to the wagons of her herd, where you hope someone will have knowledge of the whereabouts of the cursed Salt Mine. Time for a quick break, I think.

Velvet: Ooh, while we wait, do you want to see some art of Velvet that I made?

Arizona (TS): Actually I’m gonna text someone quickly.

Velvet: Ech. Later then.

Arizona (TS): Hello. We are on a break now. The game is going well. We are heading to some Salt Mines soon.

DM: Good to hear. You’re not going to ask for secrets about the Salt Mines are you?

Arizona (TS): Of course not. But I was curious if you had invited anyone else from our group but they said no.

DM: Well, the only people who had the time to go was you and Rainbow Dash. But you can imagine why I didn’t invite her.

Rainbow Dash: Dragon Horses? You’ve been holding Dragon Horses with Fire Wings out on us this whole time? Can Rainbow Dash be a Dragon Horse?

DM: No.
