NEWS: I am away on vacation from 21 June to 10 July. Comics should update as normal, but if anything goes wrong I won't be able to fix it until I get home.

Cry "Havoc!", and let slip the dogs of yore.

Characters in games can have pets too.

Or they could be pets. Imagine a game where everyone is playing a domestic cat or dog. Or perhaps a bird. Something's going on in the neighbourhood and the humans are blissfully unaware, so it's up to the pets to go out and fix things up.

{inside Ochi’s spaceship}
Poe: Where’s the place the dagger said?
C-3PO: The Factory Gate on Kijimi.
Poe: Kijimi. That’s a planet?
GM: Yes. In the Mid Rim, not far from Wobani.
Poe: There better be a Dagger Bar there.
Finn: {looking out the window of the ship} What’s Rey doing?
Rey: {out on the desert floor} I’m out on the desert floor trying to get a fix on Ren with my Force Vibe.
GM: You’ve walked a few hundred metres—
Poe: You’ll need more than that to triangulate if he’s in orbit.
Finn: We don’t have time for this. Let’s just go before he arrives. Chewie, fetch Rey!
C-3PO: Yes, Chewie! Fetch!
Chewbacca: As if being named after your dog isn’t undignified enough.
Chewbacca: All right, I go get Rey.
{Chewie heads outside}
GM: <roll> Knights of Ren observe as you fixate on reaching Rey.
Chewbacca: Do I spot them?
GM: <roll> Your dignity takes one look and nopes out. You’re captured before you can react.
Finn: Bad dog.
