Comic #798: In Real Life - Part 1 (Patreon)

I usually do a story arc at the end of each 100 comics, and I wanted to do the same here. I didn't want to do another 5-part story, as they often go on to long, so this one will just be a 3-parter. I already have the general outlines for the next two, because I hate making it up as I go along.

I liked the idea of taking real world tasks and placing game mechanics on top of them. It's a direction that I haven't really explored that much in my comics, so it was fun to do.

Initially I had a panel with a quest log open showing some quests like "Make a Friend", but in the end, I thought it was a bit redundant with the daily trash quest.

I had a ton of other real life game mechanics I considered putting in, but I'll have to save some of those for the next comic.

Also, I FINALLY completed all the tags for the archive. So if you head over to the DLC archive, you can see I've added a list of working tags you can search for. My favorite of which being "NKC", meaning "Narya Kill Count".
