Welcome back to Waiting on the Trade, a comics book club for people who don’t have time for monthly comics!
In this episode, guest host Jonathan Gurney gets railroaded by a stubborn DM, as we discuss the final volume of Kieron Gillen, Stephanie Hans, Clayton Cowles, Rian Hughes, and Chrissy Williams’s DIE.
This Month’s Discussion Questions
- Do you think this volume’s meta-commentary helped or hurt the story?
- Can you go home again?
- Do you think you have found yourself?
Explanations, Observations, and Links of Note
- First off, if you’re reading DIE for the first time and haven’t already listened to our discussion of Volume 1, I’d shamelessly recommend it!
- Do you think Sol sent his die to the past (thus creating DIE)? We decided that he certainly did …
- Here’re some RPG players discussing the pros and cons of railroading, which we (ironically) got derailed by.
- And finally, if our two hour conversation wasn’t enough DIE discussion for you, here are some post-game interviews with the DIE creative team.
