Running behind again… That’s a theme of this comic.
Introducing two of my favourite characters to write for: Lizzie, and Robb.
Robb was in chapter one, but we only start seeing his interesting manner of speaking here in #43.
Seeing as I was basing this largely on Darths and Droids, I wanted to bring in one of my favourite elements of that comic (especially in the first arc), which was Sally – the younger sister of one of the first two PCs.
Lizzie’s not as present as Sally is, and she’s got a different personality (I hope).
More of them both, next week.
One session down, nine more to go with the re-upload. Hope you’re enjoying reading (or re-reading) these back-to-back like this.
I’m particularly happy with a couple of these. I think they’re already improving in quality from the first dozen.
There’ll be wild changes in characterisation for some time yet, but the tone’s starting to settle down.
Bring on Episode Two!
Transport yourself back to 2014, when the Winds of Winter was just around the corner. Season 4 of the biggest TV sensation ever had just been released, and it was just as good as the first three. The show showed no signs of decreasing in quality and as they moved into (in my opinion) the best book/books a young Thrones fan was eagerly expressing his love of the show with RPG themed fan-fiction.
That is, I wrote this at the age of 16, instead of revising for my A-Levels. That’s why a lot of these early comics are riddled with mistakes, and the tone jumps around a lot. It settles down soon, (and I stop using comic sans) so give it a chance.
I’ll be posting re-runs of the comic, half a chapter at a time every Sunday at 12 noon GMT until I catch back up with what was already released on the old website.
As you can probably guess, this web-comic is heavily inspired by Shamus Young’s DM of the Rings and The Comic Irregular’s Darths and Droids. Both of those are great, check them out. Also, TV-tropes has a list of similar screencap comics (called Campaign Comics for confusing reasons) so if this sort of thing interests you, check out some others.
Hello! You’ve scrolled back to the first thing on the site, so I might as well make it worth your while.
I’ve been writing these strips since 2014, and was using a different hosting site to publish them to a steadily dwindling audience. I was pretty happy with writing stuff that nobody really read, but since that website’s had a total overhaul to remove all customisation, destroying all of my formatting and blog posts. It also set each of the 300 comics as it’s own chapter, meaning it was really annoying to read.
Anyway, long story short, it seemed about time to pay for something more reliable (if less web-comic oriented). If you’ve not already, give it a read.
The style takes a few chapters to settle down, so stick with it. See you in the new updates
