Do we know if she's going to finish coloring this when she's settled in Canada?

Yes, she intends to. (see BOOP! (TwiX update notification).)

But she wanted to get out a second page January.
And since she saw she could not finish it anymore, she posted it "as is".


(just remember, a decade ago she posted 2 pages/week)


But her trip to Canada became an adventure, as the computer system booked her for a different flight than the ticket showed. (much earlier - hence she missed the flight and in the end had to sleep on a bench in the airport Vancouver (twiX thread, and another post about
waking up to strange neighbours)

I'm not surprised the forum is dying. The constant mooching from its fans in return for sparse updates has worn thin. I did speculate that we might see some progression given that its need for money is directly connected to the frequency of its updates. I am beyond pity for it and while I will likely gain the ire of its hardcore fans for my comments, I have no regrets in speaking what I see as the truth.

You're not wrong.

Also, interests change, many readers moved on. The low update speed then is not helpful in gaining new readers.

And there are no public links in the official channels (webpage/discord/twiX) to this place of discussion.

This is what I thought was the main problem.

I would think that if the GoFundMe campaigns were the problem, then the Discord would be seeing similar die off. Is it? I honestly have no idea. I don't go there b/c I don't really care for Discord.

And the GoFundMe campaigns are going much better than I would've expected them to go with the current slow update cycle.

(But then, I read Outsider, a webcomic that's been consistently doing only 4-10 pages a year. The artist is not even trying to live from the work although he does have a Patreon)

Getting out of Hell "really isn't possible." BUT, demon summoning is a known thing in-comic. All you need is to know the demon's true name

I wonder though if the name given in the naming ceremony is the "true name".
And if not, if Complains of Names actually knows his own true name.

(There are plenty of stories around where a demon has to find its true name itself.... That's how I got to "what is his true name even?")

Isn't the true name needed to banish the demon back to hell? I can't remember though...

I think you might be right. That's what Kin did. All I can find in the SRD about summoning demons is that you use a summon monster spell. I can't find anything about what to do to get a specific demon. I guess it works however the DM says it does.

Hah! Even if you collected all the ire of everyone left in this tomb I doubt you would have more than a mugfull.
You won't sleep when you're dead either.
