Original Commentary

Five points if anyone recognizes where they have seen Jake's character before... of course they are expired, but they are five points all the same.

This comic gives the impression that Robert doesn't get the chance to have his own morale stance defied by women much (other than those on-line, and he don't trust those). -Isabel

Modern Commentary
Jake's character showed up in Final Battle Adventure Online, a NamirDeiter.net bonus book. He was on the Sherup server. Blue's character flirted with him and he gave her a hundred magic potions.

I'm not entirely sure when we decided that Sherup and Hippedown would have separate servers. That doesn't prevent the You Say it First and Namir Deiter folks from meeting up online but it makes it a bit more complicated.

Also, I'm not sure why we chose "brood" instead of "party" or "guild" or "group". The terminology hadn't really been settled just yet and we figured we'd strike out in a new direction. I think we had just decided that FBAO was its own thing and, therefore, had its own terminology. - Terrence
