What is the commanding officer of the Loroi vessel Clearbrook called? The one Talon speaks/shouts to briefly in the comic?

I believe she is called, translated, "piss artist".

After all that work, perhaps a question?

Had the forest city-states in olden times a tradition of living in or maintaining outposts in the canopies (middle and/or upper) for easier access to resources? I'm mostly thinking of collecting fresh water and perhaps some food.

After reading the article a second (and third) time: In the Didein section: "Large example can grow to almost three meters in length." "Exemplars" perhaps? In the Loshradi section: "One of the deadliest such fungal pathogens is known to the Loroi as "creeper," It remains deadly if untreated;" Twice ...

Since Umiak leadership is decentralized, hasn't it happened yet at the say province level that the way leaders get appointed changes, or the focus of a new batch of leaders is turned from military production to another worthy goal (say the Umiformation of a low-gravity world)?

This begs the question how local Umiak society somewbere inside the territory copes with all that. They don't have an exterior border to pour their energies in. All they can do is muscle the local alien population or transfer expedionary fleets outwards.

I had an inkling you were working on the Insider, Arioch, with the update last March on the Hierarchy races. :D A typo I noticed: Double "The" at the onset of the sentence (marked for clarity); Scale Tree Forests The the enormous scale trees form the foundations of the megaforest biome. And one I'm ...

With no moon to slow its rotation, Taben's day is just 13.6 Earth hours. This fast rotation is part of what drives Taben's fierce wind and currents, but it also makes it slightly less expensive to get objects into orbit from the surface. Taben's orbital period is 431 Earth days. A follow-up on this...

Neat little project. :) Regarding placement of the different functions of the Bennett class, I always thought the shuttle bay doors were those big ventral hatches on the forward section of the ship. Its kinda alluded too in the story, last picture of page 11 , were Sculley gives the order to go "dow...

True, but thankfully Alex only measures about 0.7 Lukes on the psycho-with-a-laser-gun scale.

Don't most people measure 0.73?

Posters with blueprint-style drawings of various ship classes. Maybe cut away to show room arrangements, in the style of those DK cutaway books pretty much everyone autistic on the Internet used to read.

*DING*

Did someone mention shipporn?

You have a good point- where are the vital organs on that thing? Inside the armored body obviously. Barring access, I'd try severing the semi-flexible 'neck', or as many of the 'eyes' as quickly as possible, and hoping there isn't a sort of infrared or motion detector on the main body that can't be...

I wonder if in the previous page Beryl was pinned as well by the hardtrooper. She lost her rifle then, and now I wonder if the "helping hand" picking Alex' dropped gun is hers or Alex preparing for a blind shot.

There've been hiatus in the past. I trust at some point Arioch will find time an/or inclination again to continue.

Why did Taben have significantly less bloody warfare compared to Deinar?

SpoilerShow

Because they had less land to fight over.

Slapstick!

Since moving to the Philippines for retirement (I am 65), the possibility of finding 2 to 5 people to run any kind of Old-School TTRPG in person is asymptotically zero.

Can't be more difficult then providing air tickets and lodging?

Where might some of these enclaves and reserves be on Mestirot?

On undesirable land (deserts, swamplands, steep mountainranges,...).

So their pointy ears are an evolutionary vestige? Like an appendix?

As far as we know, the Loroi are a designed species (by the Soia), whatever they might think of themselves.

't Is nothing. Just a starhanger instead of the good ol' cliffhanger...

Another possibility is that hardtrooper armor can take a couple shots at half strenghts setting.

It occurs to me that if the umiaks are using some kind of psionic detection equipment, they might not know that Alex is even there.

"Loroi head in a jar" anyone?
