No worries, dude. We have filler because I've been slacking.
Good thing it is cool filler!

Today's update is up and live. It's a bit of a filler - fromtime to time, we'll be doing these parody movie posters. Today's episode is a sendoff of Reservoir Dogs.
As always, comments and criticisms are appreciated!
If you like Loaded Dice, please reddit the comic. This is the single best avenue that we have to expose new readers to Loaded Dice.
Comment there if you like, but please click the reddit link, then click on the up arrow at the top left of the page, near the comic's title.
Thanks!

I knew that the different cultures might put a crimp on overseas orders. Still, I should open that up, no doubt.
Edit: Canadian support added.

Starfleet is a military organization. As such, I would expect that everyone would have access to a standard issue sidearm.
Unrelated: I'm figuring to gloss over this "get to know each other" dinner in the hopes of finally getting out of drydock. Any objections?

Hello, folks. This is wildly off topic, but since this *is* my site, I get to take the occasional liberty. Feel free to ignore me.
As you well know, it is almost Christmas. Currently, I am running another site to help Santa out - Santa4me.com. The basic idea is that we've all written letters to Santa... wouldn't you love to get a letter back from the big guy himself?
If you have kids, or know someone who does, I'd really appreciate it if you'd check out the link, or pass it along.
Thanks!

We only missed one update - the comic that should have been posted on November 26th was instead posted on November 30th. This comic was posted on December 3rd, as it should have been. It *was* posted about six hours late on the 3rd, but it was up on time.
Of course, you could say that we're one strip behind... and thus, we'll be behind from now on.

Today's strip is up, after a little delay... blame it again on my flaking out over the holidays. You will notice that the normal pitchy dialogue has returned.
As always, please feel free to comment and criticize.
Also, please take a moment to reddit the comic - click on the up arrow at the top left of the screen, near the comic's title. This is the #1 method we have to expose new readers to the comic. Thanks!

Topic: Audalis - Leeway Subject: eyep
This is my baby, but feel free to run any sort of game that you like in the setting, just as you would if it were Forgotten Realms, Eberron, etc. I remember that Admiral once ran a game where gods were killed, magic was destroyed, etc. None of it stuck particularly close to my perception of Audalis canon.
Guess what? His players had a great time. I'd call the game a success.
That being said, if you are wanting canon info, but are not sure where to find it, feel free to check with me, Alacrity, or other Audalis "sages".

Topic: Loaded Dice #35: A Dead End... Subject: a mook
A mook is a pushover bad guy - like the individual goblins in LOTR. Something that isn't overly dangerous to the heroes except when encountered in large groups.
I may see if I can talk another Innmate into redditing the next comic - it appears that my submissions are no longer appearing in the comics directories, which means that no new users are seeing them. :-/

I had some issues with sending out 1600 copies of a 1 megabyte file attachment. My sript kept timing out, and I was getting some false positives in the error report. Everyone should have a copy now (check your spam filters if you don't)... if you got seven or ten copies, I sincerely aplogize... it won't happen again!

Strip #35 is finally up. Please forgive me for the delay - Tiana had the strip to me on time Wednesday evening, but the Thanksgiving holidays ate me alive.
Also, please reddit the comic. Feel free to comment there, but up votes (done by clicking the up arrow at the top left, near the comic title) go an amazingly long way toward exposing the comic to new readers.
And finally, please of course comment and criticize here!

One minor detour... I guess we do the dinner on the next day. If you have any posts left for today, wrap them up, else the game date bumps forward a little more than 24 hours.

Topic: Star Trek: No Good Deed Subject: at last
Stardate: 2368.04.10
USS Discovery, captain's ready room - 1720
The door chimed to the ready room and Noah Blair smiled with anticipation.
“Come in!”
The doors opened to let in the Domtarian Commander, although he had to turn slightly to fit through the opening. It had been two years since he had seen Avanti, and in Blair’s eyes the man had gotten bigger. At 6’8”, Avanti towered over the captain, but his body was wide and dense, at least the size of two humans side by side. He had white wire-like hair that grew straight upwards, and a serious face although it did break into a smile upon seeing Blair.
“Captain Blair. It is good to see you again,” Avanti spoke.
"The pleasure is all mine, Commander Avanti," Noah beamed.
“It is good to be back. Seems like so long ago even though it was only two years. I hear that Commander Gavison received his own commission?”
The Captain nodded. "Indeed he did. The USS Charon, a Saber class fast frigate. Apparently, he was needed urgently - he barely had time to pack a bag before he had to leave." Noah grinned. "Not that I would begrudge him any enthusiasm for earning a command... and of course, it did lead to me getting you back. How was your tour aboard the Valmont?"
“It was a tough mission, not what was expected from the start.” Avanti looked down at the chair and decided not to sit; he didn’t have a good record with chairs. “There were multiple factions that wanted to better their positions. A few took militant stances and we were more trying hard to prevent a civil war than oversee a peace treaty. The Valmont was attacked a few times in hopes to stop the negotiations. But we did prevail.”
Noah fixed the XO with a bemused expression. "I heard a rumor that you ripped out the Captain's chair - with an ambassador still in it?"
“Oh. That.” Avanti looked embarrassed, “He came aboard as an ambassador but he and his men tried to take the Valmont by force. He was giving a long winded speech about his superiority and sat down in the captain’s chair. I… decided to take action. Turns out his followers didn’t have much drive once he was incapacitated.”
Noah did his best to contain his mirth - and only succeeded somewhat. "I can't imagine why."
After a few chuckles, Avanti moved to change the subject. “So is this a shakedown run once we leave drydock?”
Blair nodded. "More or less. We'll sail from here to the Cedulon system, where we will take some meaningless sensor readings, all the while posturing to the Romulans that the Federation is strong enough to send a Galaxy class that close to the neutral zone."
“Neutral zone, well that will be interesting.” Avanti said in that understated way that Blair remembered well, “I’d like to meet as many of the chief officers as possible before we get too far – you know, get to know them and let them get to know me. I would think the transition will be smooth as I modeled my command style on Gavison. Can we arrange a social gathering?”
Noah nodded. "Indeed, I was thinking the same thing. I think that it would be a bit rushed to try to do so this evening, but a dinner of some sort tomorrow night - our last in port - seems appropriate to me. It will give the staff a chance to meet you, and for that matter, each other - you are not the only new face for this cruise."
The Captain paused for a moment and eyed the Commander's bags. "That being said, I see that you haven't settled in yet - perhaps you should go and see if the XO's quarters are to your liking?"
“Thank you sir. I will do that.” Avanti replied.
"Oh, and Avanti?" Noah interrupted as the big alien stood to take his leave. "Welcome home."
