OK, so here we are! Today’s comic is simply about the fireball and how awesome it is. It’s sort of obvious. But now let me direct your attention towards much more interesting things, because I’ve been sighted in the realm of Lonnie Dinello’s “Almost Normal”. Lonnie, AKA “Despair” is an artist/friend I met last year [...]
There is something quite depressing about the aftermath of working an all-nighter, and it’s that if it happens at the very beginning of the week whatever schedule you had for the rest of your week is pretty much ruined. For last Monday’s comic I had to go ahead and sleep about an hour in total [...]
I’m sorry there are no Ninja in today’s comic strip – but I can explain! You know how last week I said I’d be dedicating myself to learning new coloring techniques and all that? Well, the goblins in today’s comic are my first official attempt at doing something different with Photoshop. This time, I wanted [...]
Players like my Cousin Al are rare indeed. I’m not talking about how much he loves the game, or about how awesome it is playing with him. Guys like him get into the game so much that it goes beyond being a good role player and way into a realm where there actually has to be something [...]
Today’s comic came to be as I was planning the images I would draw and noticed that the supposedly “imaginary” parts of the comic (that is, the ones that take place in the fantasy world shared by the player’s imaginations) had been portrayed in a more “realistic” manner than the parts of the comic that [...]
Haven’t you ever wondered? Of course, in epic fantasy not everything needs to be portrayed exactly as it was in the middle ages, specially when the setting takes liberties with the technological advancements of its world. And I’m no historian, but this is one of those salesmen that I seriously doubt existed back in the middle [...]
Of course, Batey’s just “in character” – he’s role playing. Everybody knows that. But let’s be honest here, no matter how much you’re playing the character or “in it” or whatever, there’s something definitely freaky about the whole bearded female dwarf thing. And I don’t mean freaky in a good way. Bearded female dwarves are a [...]
A few days ago somebody in the comments asked why me and my group carry such negative sentiments towards bards – and today I’m going to explain why. First off let’s get one thing clear: I love music. I don’t just love listening to it, either; I love the subject. I enjoy studying it, learning [...]
After so many years of gaming, if there’s one thing my group has taught me it’s to always have backup plans – and backup plans for the backups. And then some more. My gaming group is not composed by the “Frodo” kind of adventurers, which are people that you can convince to go on the [...]
One of the questions that got asked the most in the past whenever RPG comics were published was “why does Al keep on playing with these people if they treat him so bad?” The easiest answer would be: because it’s a comic and he’s just part of my cast of characters. But then that answer [...]
