The Gamers: Hands of Fate Page #6

the entire world is at stake the entire world

the kingdom your father build and you speak of abandoning

perhaps we can escape the cycle

oh get a hold of yourself!

Did you win?

it's a LARP

oh so you all lost?

where'd she go?

hey cardligula

you seen Natalie around here anywhere?

ah, you're confused

you see in human society when someone asks a question

unless she's a card in one of these decks

I haven't seen her

did you see me beat that starvation deck today?

I quested the sh*t out of it

you beat the lowest ranking member of the legacy with a deck

they'd never seen

congratulations are not yet in order

riiiight

oh uhmmm, Jayce and Natalie and some of the story players

have this whole little alliance thing going

I have no dealings with the lesser kingdoms

is that a starvation deck?

cuz if it is... I'm sorry

did I interrupt your sentence with the middle of my ritual?

you dropped this

in each...

in each of these envelopes is a potential future

for the nine empires

nine versions of the story depending on who wins the god head seat

by a vote of 37:
19 the regional qualifying winners have chosen war over diplomacy

and as a result the elimination round will be played under conquest rules

any unique hero killed from this point forward

will be permanently dead in the storyline

Buxtehude, you are summoned to the...

Buxtehude...

something's different

it certainly is

I'm so sorry

if I... stop

do you regret this at all?

would you change it?

have had it never happened?

and in what way have you wronged either of us

Buxtehude!

You are summoned

to the quee... sleep

is it my turn?

and that's 50

turn

ahhh ok...

good game?

yeah something like that

you too? yeah but I tagged every card he played

his whole deck, right there

this guy could ruin our plans

Sean Cassidy vs. Chris Hunter

we're switching tactics

you're gonna lose to the quest deck

what? come on I can take this guy

you don't need to take him, you need to kill off his heroes

we were tarred for conquest rules let's use them

understand me?

sweep the leg

well?

coming?

brilliant, brilliant!

we've seen too much of their army for this to be a split attack

Holden is not the target

we are! why we're but two people?

two people tying up their army

let them pursue us it means Holden's safe

is it now?

I gave you an out

you remember Skafla

Unerring strike

that won't thwart the quest I win next action

yeah

without one of your heroes

so who's for the chop?

sleep

ok thanks

ok who was it?

wow...

wow...

hey hey

good luck tomorrow

congrats on making the semis

thanks same to you

Dundereal

That's

yeah

you know I actually won the tournament that...

brought him to Holden

it really, really hurts my deck

it got wicked bonuses with Myriad in play

I don't know how I'm gonna make up the difference

that's why it's sad?

because your deck suffers mechanically?

not because Myriad lost the love of her life?

what it's not enough to win the damn tournament?

I have to get everyone's favorite character across the goal line as well?

and I'm telling you it is the best way to kill a hydra

ignore the heads with the teeth and just keep chopping dong

until so many have grown back... to gracefully change the subject

if you'd all just sit

how long are you gonna keep me cooped up in here?

I've been wondering that myself

till you're ready to not start any sh*t with CHIBI CHAN

so... gaming? Anyone?

can we play?

can you? you have half a party

yes, yes we can!

we could still play, see?

hey everyone

this campaign's dangerously unboring

but don't worry, I'm here to fix it

first off, we're gonna avoid combat whenever possible

and negotiate with inferior opponents

and remember take everyone's feelings into account

especially random one-off NPC's with no continuing story

tee hee

girl stuff

kiss me up you big handsome pally

muah

muah mmmmuah

see? can't even tell the difference

and how are you going to play without a game master?

who's controlling me, for instance

finally! if it's either of the we're starting now

deliver us from the undead!

please win the tournament save our heroes

take this in tribute

who is it?

ahhmmm

another bunch of freaks convinced I'm their messiah

is this... is this merv?

close the door before Gary gets loose

oak in the wind baby

damnit!

excuse me

Gary! thanks!

hey hey, hey guys

could you just give us a minute?

like, go into his room

yeah cool

the hell was that!

we lost Gary containment

and...

now a bunch of card floppers are in my room offering me bounties

baby naming rights if I beat the undead

I'm sorry, I did not mean to get everyone's hopes up

their hopes are up because they think you can save our game

I know! it's so stupid it's not even why I'm here!

Right

you're here for a piece of ass

hey oh, I'm sorry

is that not the entire reason you came to Gencon?

don't have a stroke I get it

hot gamer chick

the latest in fantasy f*** toys another game to be won

and walked away from

don't need to know anything else do you?

but you don't, right?

know...

anything else about me

at all

yeah

that's about what I thought

and you wonder why I think you're a joke

you may be too cool for this game

or the people who play it

but I'm not

so please excuse me if I'm not swooning over

someone whose idea of a good time

is shitting all over the thing that I love

why do you even care?

all I've ever see is these asshats turning you down and ignoring you

they're fawning all over me and you've been kicking ass

for what, years?

go join the legacy

you belong with them

Natalie...

Natalie!

hey, quest-hole

you're coming with us

really?

cuz it looks like I'm doing the exact opposite

looks like we got us a frisky one

maybe you don't hear so good

or maybe you need me to explain how things work around here

but I said you're coming with us OH!

oh! what the hell, man?

are we not fighting? I thought we were fighting

I'm a hemophiliac you dickwad!

I'm sorry it was clear to me that we were fighting

I have to go to the hospital I'm pressing charges

fine, just least the way I'll go just...

don't bleed on me

number one team team hurray

ninja dragon riders

secret rock star USA

ninja dragon riders

honoring techniques of our ancestor now revenged

ah? yeah!

ninja

dragon riders

what a show huh?

so sad what happened they deserved better

yes they did!

I hate that chibichan

strutting around the con

like we're gonna forget it was his fault the show went off the air

yes! yes exactly!

gone, boom

all of those plot lines unresolved

oshee, is she ever gonna know her daughter is still alive?

huh? or Hekaru

is he ever gonna collect the seven dragon crystals?

we'll never know!

and you know why?

that f***in rabbit

he puts his show on in the exact same timeslot as NDR

sucks away all the ratings we never even got a change to say goodbye

that's so crazy you know

it's like you're reading my mind!
