Words cannot describe how happy I was when I saw a new Dropsy thread :neckbeard:

I had to go back and find the Dropsy song from the original thread to satisfy my nostalgic Dropsy urges!

Also, play the wheely stick game. Who needs gold anyways?

Donate gold to Kickstarter.

Can we steal a coffin from a church if we find one? I think that should be our new thing.

I am confused about the whereabouts of Dropsy's rat friend. We can't leave him behind! Also, the new cactus buddy needs to come along somehow. There's a wheel and what appears to be an axle (or a stick that could serve as one), so this could happen. And should happen. Please, Dropsy, please!

There is nothing sadder than a lonely homely clown.

Break off the head of the new cactus companion and put the head on the stick. Carry him with you wherever you go. He will both defend you (cactus bat, anyone?) and love you.

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack
Offer the stick and wheel to those nice men trying to fix the tracks. Maybe it will help!

Triangulating the position of the sun, the rock structures in the background, and the overall lay of the tracks, determine...

Or, wait, we're already marked on the map aren't we. I vote to use our amazing clown powers to fold the map into a hat for Eughh. We might lose the map ourselves (you ever know a clown to not lose something everything?), but surely the dog will never, ever, lose such a glorious possession. Also, you wouldn't want the dog to get sunstroke, would you!?

Second, call for mousey (what's the name of it?) and go investigate the reeds there.

I think we all need to pitch in and help promote the kickstarter to get it more money. I know several artists and a few game developers who would think the game was cool, so I can start there.


I wonder if the yogscast would be interested in helping show off the game some? Like if there was a look at the game and an interview with the creator on their channel. Let's see if we can get in touch with them, since I'm sure they'd be willing to help out a fellow goon's game project - especially one with as much potential as this.

Thanks guys! I worked really hard on that music. And it was fun cause I just got my Torn's Peaker in and realllly wanted an excuse to use it.



Oh man, sorry about that. Here's the end!

The whole adventure was a series of end-of-life hallucinations by a man dying in the cold. Had I not shifted focus to Dropsy again there would've been more exposition of this + a trippy game.

So... I'm new to Dropsy and THe SAclopedia is limited on its explanations. What is the history of Dropsy? I don't have Archives so I cant read the old thread.

Whats his origin? What are his motives? Where is he trying to go? Why is brimming with retarded Malevolence? I have many more questions but this is enough for now.

Failure is always an option.
I like that, but I don't think Dropsy is motivated by greed. I think he's motivated by Shiny Objects. Pick up the gold, Dropsy, put it in your pocket, and forget about it. It's likely that someone later on might recognize it's got value, other than being shiny.

ALso, it's probably not gold but fool's gold, iron pyrite, since it's lying about on the ground. Unlikely someone would dig it up and leave it lying about. Neat thing about pyrites is you can get sparks from them and make fires. Again, Dropsy probably would not know that, though.

THe wheel? I don't know what the gently caress. I am concerned about the dog's paws, though. Baked desert floor can get really, really hot. Dog needs shoes, or Dropsy needs to maybe carry him somehow.

I visited his site a few weeks ago to look at the whole story over again and was super excited when he said there that there was going to be a new thread soon. Glad it's out now and I'm going to be watching over it like a hawk.

That being said: Eat one of those pink plants (flowers?) in the background. They may provide magical powers!

The dog is showing some real talent by balancing on that wheel, we should teach him some more tricks. Plus his paws aren't hurt by the heat of the sand/dirt anymore. The sign obviously points to the mine cart from the map, follow the sign until you reach the mine cart then check out the red X nearby.

Oh man, a new Dropsy thread! I named a retarded goldfish I inherited "Dropsy" in honor of the old threads and I'm excited to see my favorite clown still around.

As for what Dropsy should do, he should break the sign off the post and add it to his inventory. No telling when it might come in handy again, either as a weapon or as a clue.
