Thanks a lot for this great comic. You deserve that break and if you think it's getting too tiresome maybe you can post once or twice a week instead of daily.
Also kinda ironic that you are going on hiatus two days before the show's longest hiatus ends.

Take the break, you've earned it. Don't get burned out on our account.
Take your well earned rest, you deserve it. I'm actually thinking of starting a screencap comic involving at least one thing you have technically covered. Just trying to figure out the logistics right now and the best way to get the caps themselves :)
Hope you have a good Christmas and Happy New Years Rastaba!

...am I the only one who actually LIKES Tom? I mean, for a terminator-esque henchman relentlessly pursuing the table's IP, he's a surprisingly chill dude.

Yeah, he's a surprisingly likable guy, isn't he?
Brilliant finessing there. I know people (...me included) were debating about that aspect and it was bothering you.
This works really well, and illustrates how urban legends get created. Seems kinda like the d-infinity, in-universe. Legend makes it bigger than it actually is (and omits that it can give negative results :P).
Also, hit you like a giant robot. Heh.
And of course, 'life isn't like a comic'. :P Classic meta.
Tom's actually my favorite character in any campaign comic. I'd read a story of him overthrowing his Queen and going on adventures of his own.

...Huh. I did kind of wonder how that part worked.
Anyway, enjoy your break; I eagerly await the end of your hiatus!
Good work, Rastaba. Hope you enjoy your break.
I'll be looking forward to reading the next chapter. ^_^
So now that Tom's on his way out and we've gotten a good look into his personality I'd like to remind everyone of comic 319. Each of the girls described some of his qualities and his old characters: Chris McClean (total drama island reality show host, antagonist), Bugs Bunny (I can definitely see Tom making him), and Superman (from the Superman cartoon). Tom "does not reroll and does not respec." I feel like his character has been consistent in these regards and I'll second him being a fantastic, interesting character. A great contrast to Weers too.
Here's hoping we see more of Betty in the arcs that follow. I know that some comics (Darths and Droids) keep the DM in the background, but I have the feeling something is being hidden from us about Betty.

Great! In-story explanation and all tied up in a lovely bow! /sincerity. Wasn't as bad as before! Pretty decent.
I was just rereading this comic and got to this part...and I think I have another possible explanation for how "Weers gets the game via victory" leads to "original creators stop playing" directly.
Imagine you've created this world and characters. You've watched it grow from the initial seed, nurtured it until it's become something beautiful, something worthwhile, something you can be truly proud of...
And then someone comes along and wants to take it. Whether through pressure or whatever other methods, you're forced to use this world, these characters, the children of your mind, to fight to keep it...and you lose. It's theirs now.
It's no longer your creation, your child. It's theirs. And no matter what, whenever you think of it, you can't help but remember that you failed to protect it.
...how easily could you go back to it?

And that is the final page to 'Jailbreak'...seriously there is nothing left to say or do without me scouring for random caps and I am just tired and don't wanna. This whole arc just exhausted me to no end and honestly I am SUPER happy and relieved it is over. I am going on a hiatus! Not an indefinite hiatus though! I am taking the rest of the year off after this year's madcap production that ended in this hot mess.
Any guest comics I receive will be used to fill the time so feel free to send more comics and don't be afraid to use ones I already claimed they have played! Please don't. As me using Roger Smith from Big O should not in ANY way interfere with someone else using him for a SERIOUS campaign comic! I just used him as he is the coolest guy in a suit I could find good screen grabs of!
And this page is primarily for all those out there who are naturally aware of what bull it is to think a person could make people just stop playing their campaign on a whim. Which I myself entirely recognize. This whole aspect has been exhausting and I am looking forward to using up as many episodes as I can until I get to another Jasper, technically Malachite, episode.
The GeMs WILL return January of 2018! Maybe sooner! But you have a definite date to hold me to of January 1st! So see you then, I go take a nap.
Edit: Apparently I picked a good time to call a hiatus on. As guess who just got sick yesterday? Haha. So I may not immediately respond to submissions too soon.
