    Hmmm… Is it just me, or does Monica just slightly remind you of Jin in the first panel?
    I think it’s the eyes.

      ooh ooh

      maybe it ‘opens’ the grave in the irish cemetry?
      Perhaps thats why its on board a boat of dead people? a huge hint.
      Perhaps the grave will have a germanic name on it insted of an irish one 😀

      (i don’t really want answers. much fun is had in speculating and waiting for the outcome in due course however 😀 )

      Speaking of RPGs, maybe they have to travel around to find the fetch quests and get the power up. Or stinky can just get them stuff.

      Still worried about stinky :/

        Staying on the Subject of RPG. I’m working on a system to introduce Monica’s Demons and the Golmn Girls to some of my existing games(D&D or Shadowrun) I’d love some ideas on other Demon types to add to the mix.

        The problem you run into with any detailed psychological self-examination, especially with things like personal demons is that you create and run the demons and the players create and run the people that contain them.

      • Jay-Em
        April 19, 2011, 12:22 pm | #

        A “dungeon-master” running/deciding the demons’ placement, and the world/dungeon, and player-dice to decide the amount they can “override” the “demons”, or the “demon’ (character-trait, more like it) picked from the pile of cards,could create interesting game-play.. Think D&D with demons/emotions instead of -a troll behind the door- 400 health/380 power/200magic/600mana. Failing f.i. the demon “doubt” will not kill You, but will cost you 3 throws, or something. etc. etc..

        Combine that with a questing for artefacts that can nullify demon-cards an x-amount of times, or enhance dice-throws, and You’ll got Yourself quite the intersting evening…

        Just from the top of my head..not too versed in D&D.

        “RPG” to me means “endlessly roaming Tamriel ,enjoying the world, and make some gold for cool weapons when I’m at it”……. 😛

      • Knight Trap
        April 19, 2011, 2:47 pm | #

        Yeah, I’m kind of going in that way. Not as much making them characters or villiens to overcome, but more of an enhancement to the characters. As with the conversation between Doubt and Monica, although demons are seen as evil they are a nessesary evil. For example Doubt can make you overthink things or doubt those around you, but on the same side will keep you from jumping into a dangerous situation. A good list of possilbe demons along with the possitive and negitive of each one.

        Think of a round plate with a circle of holes in it. The pins go in the holes to the proper depth to push an unlocking mechanism. Then you can hold onto the two round handles to rotate the plate with the key.

    Most adorable Monica ever 😀

    Bud looks…nervous? Could Monica actually do anything to them still. Since she gave them free will i thought that that took them out of her control? or is it just been hammered into the girls that glyph readers should be feared? or is it cuz its an atifact that Bud doesn’t even have a name too and doesn’t want her friend to get near it since it might be dangerous etc
