In the middle of a pandemic, I manage to go and catch a common cold... There'll probably be a couple extra updates this weekend, since I'm not doing as much extra work IRL.

>>133912
A refined taste in musical instruments

>>133248
Was that cat dude originally going to be his partner instead of the lovely Sgt Dane?

Digging through my sketchbooks, Dane predates him by a bit, but I was kicking the idea around for a second. As time went on, he sort of evolved into KYLE.

>>133697
It's definitely very frenchy. I'm reminded of a lot of those more cartoony Metal Hurlant strips, and other stuff from the 60s-70s.

Sorry about the tardy update mates, I was finishing up the rest of my work before the big holiday break. I've got a lot less on my plate now, so I'll try to increase my output! For the holidays I'll post with (slightly) more frequency, and return to weekend updates in late January/February.

>>134513
awesome to hear! I'm always excited for the next update.

Your updates are always big and filled with new twists, so I'm excited to see them whenever they happen.

You're doing great!

AAHHHHH WHEN DO WE GET DANE BACK AAAHHHHHHHHHHHH

I appreciate your zeal for her, haha. Almost there!!

I've recently gotten a pack of brush pens, I'm pretty excited to start lightly experimenting with them on posts. The greyscale ones will probably see the most use, they'll definitely be helpful for shading certain things and extras. Not looking forward to when they inevitably dry up, though...

>>134563
I look forward to seeing your use with greyscale in your art style.

...look I know that was a very dry sentence but it's true I'm looking forward to it.

After a few days' worth of packing and travel, I'm back in the city! I think I'll have another week or two of increased output before work catches up to me, and then we'll be back into our weekend groove.

My job's started curbstomping me a little faster than I anticipated... In the interest of self-preservation, I'll go ahead and make the switch back to mainly weekend posts. I feel a little blue-balled, hopefully I'll have a chance to post more frequently for longer over the summer.

Speaking of, BAN BAN's not that far from turning a year old, haha. I feel like I should thank everyone who's been sticking with it so far, it's always fun to see familiar "faces" among the post IDs.

Happy BANiversary.
This quest has been a pleasant surprise, and has been way better and more exciting than I thought it was going to be.

I made the first post, but you kept me making more.

Nom d'un chien! Sorry about work getting tougher. Not surprising, though, considering the last couple months.

Thank you so much for a year worth of adventure. You put a lot of effort and it shows!

Happy Valentine's Day, mates!! If you don't have a significant other, take a page out of BAN's playbook and just use the holiday as an excuse to score some brownie points in the workplace...

Awww. Tsundere + Space Cadet is a winning recipe (for trouble)

To the cultured fellows who noticed our little friend in the back of last week's update, you made me smile, haha. He's just another ex-soldier, but this guy often gets told that he has a very famous face.

Things are getting a little insane in my life, I hate to say it but I think my best option is to skip this weekend and aim to update next weekend... If I manage to stop folding fast enough then I'll try to do an extra post during the week, as well.

>>135362
life comes before quest man, you burn out we don't get more good content.

Focus on the health, come back when you got the time to do it and not murder yourself in the process

A day late, but we've reached the conclusion of the first thread!! Thanks to everyone who's been posting with me for a little over a year. Feel free to do any post-quest debriefing in here.

Going forward, I think I'm going to take a weekend off, then start running something short for fun--either a shitpost or an actual interlude for BAN BAN, I'm not sure which yet. Once that concludes, we'll be into the actual second thread. Thanks again for playing so far!!!

Was no casualties for 1P a best-case scenario considering the choices we made?

Anonymous 2021/05/31(Mon)17:21 No. 135660 ID: 0b9353

5 second precint casualties? Will oye injured not survive the night?

>>135660
The concept of casualties include injured - it’s not necessarily that they’re dead, it’s that they’re out of the fight.

BAN's been one of the better protagonists in recent memory, and I'm excited to see what else he's got in him!

>>135668
for real, his spacey personality makes a really good balancing measure against overly-complex plotting from suggestors, and I'm liking the hints that picking combat options too often wouldn't be a good idea with his PTSD.

I've been digging through my sketchbooks for more old BAN BAN-related material, enjoy a very early form of The Major.

>>135659
It was a very solid outcome, to be sure.

>>135660
>>135665 has the right idea, I was counting injuries alongside the dead for the casualty stats. Outside of KEN and Chase, most of the raid team that hit the traphouse should get through this.

>>135668
>>135669
Bless you both, I'm glad you've all been enjoying him so far. I've had a lot of fun writing for BAN, and for the other leads. On some level, I think my own personal enjoyment of the cast has been part of what's kept me (relatively) consistent so far, haha.

Huh, so is this thread implying Dane was trans, or is this a different Dane?

Don't answer that here because I want to see that answered in quest, I just wanna put the idea into the thread here

>>135678
Or father/daughter. Or just coincidence: there may be many people with the surname Dane.

shit, of course they were flashbangs, what cop shop's gonna have frags? shit!

My reference to 'tubes' is intended to mean LAWs, MAWS, ATGMs recoilless rifles etc. I don't know exactly what's available, and the details don't matter, but this is the kind of mission we want it for.

Looks like summer's more or less over for me already, damn!! I was hoping to be a little more frequent with my posts, but I'm still happy with our forward progress. Even while shit's hitting the fan I should be able to keep up an update per week schedule again, and once winter rolls around maybe I can get a little more productive.

>>135975
I follow, haha. Each of BAN's squads grabbed a couple launchers in last week's post, I guess you could compare them to M72s.

Things are getting crazy again! This coming week will be particularly absurd for me. Ideally I'll have my life relatively sorted again by next Sunday, but if I end up missing that update I'll try to get an extra one or two in the following week.

Happy Turkey Day, gents! I wrote today's update in between some very intense cooking sessions. Next up, the annual food coma/binge eating regret party.

Today also marks the end of this interlude thread!! We'll be back into the investigation proper either this weekend or whenever the universe decides to stop railing me next.

I can't unsee that now that you've pointed it out, haha. Sometimes I don't realize what kind of goofy shillouettes I've given some of the demon characters until you guys open my eyes, like BAN's secret existence as a capybara.

I remember back in the day there being that legend of the 'curse' for quest authors... I've spent the past couple weeks getting bitchslapped by COVID and my job back to back. Hopefully that's the full extent of my curse haha, that was a pretty miserable ordeal.

For your patience, regarde some Danes that I found in an old sketchbook during my quarantine/recovery period.

Glad your feeling better!
