[Nevitan]

That first post sort of made it seem like there was only one of them, but I actually made a few of them. The second one I made is up.

[Green-Shirt Q]

I would recommend putting all your comics into the original post.

And...Is that the Dancing Fox Inn? From The Freeform Roleplaying Games Section?

That takes me back. I remember roleplaying there constantly a while back. I don't think I was very good at it, though, since nobody liked the stories I was a part of. Or my characters. I think I left because people were getting too mean. I don't know what it's like nowadays...

Very interesting comic. I will continue to read more.

Yeah, I'm a bit of a sucker for Cameos. :smallbiggrin:

Very interesting comic. I will continue to read more.

Why thank you. :smallsmile:

[Nevitan]

Third Comic is up, just so everyone knows..

[Threeshades]

I like the way its written and the art is good too, i might check back more often. :smallsmile:

[Nevitan]

Aha! Yes, more readers, more, more! :smallbiggrin:

[The Succubus]

Mmmmm....promising comic. Has solid artwork, no immediate textual errors (aside from "Drink" being capitalised in the first strip) and most importantly a slightly saracastic and wry sense of humour. Will add to watch list.

[Darklord Xavez]

The one problem that I see is the text is a bit too small. Besides that, this looks like a very promising comic. Will be reading this!

I'm still trying to figure out a good size to make everything because Photobucket shrinks these when they run long, and the tend to run long.

[Prince Zahn]

I'm still trying to figure out a good size to make everything because Photobucket shrinks these when they run long, and the tend to run long.
Even so this comic looks great! But I wouldn't worry about reader's if I were you since you know people will be reading this and your audience will grow as you go on. :smallwink:

[Nevitan]

I know you've all been tearing your hair out in anticipation for the next comic, so it's uploaded. :smalltongue:

[Threeshades]

Good, very good. Go on. :smallamused:

Two ideas for your photobucket problem:
- Cut longer strips into several pages to be released at once
- Check your setting, you can raise the maximum file and pixel size considerably if you haven't already

[Nevitan]

Good, very good. Go on. :smallamused:

Oh, I will. :smallbiggrin:

-That's what I had to do for the first one.
-And that seems to have been the problem, looks fixed to me.

[Cealocanth]

I like them. They remind me of the first 50 or so OOTS strips, you know, before thaat stupid storyline thing...

Well done!

[Nevitan]

Lucky for you I have no idea for this comic's story :smallwink:

[Lupy]

Even though I've read them many a time, they're still good in the re-reads.

I award you, the Archdiocesal seal of Approval.

[Herpestidae]

Well, this comic is certainly good-looking. I like it. Small nitpick: Your orc is a bit too green. Mix it with a hint of gray.

[Prince Zahn]

I like the way this is heading, charm person when your "teammates" want to quit, I never seen it work out so well:smallamused:

[Ninjaman]

funny.
Keep up the good work.

It is very OotS styled compared to some of the other comics, that´s good

[Nevitan]

What do you mean "Five days since an update"?
I'll have none of this heresy in my thread!
Fifth Comic is up.

[Nevitan]

Not one reply?
Well let the record show that it was because of all the other posters of the playground that I was forced to make a double post to tell everyone that the new comic is up.
So any infractions should be sent to all the other posters, as opposed to me.

[Lord Loss]

I love the comic! It's hilarious! Keep up the awesome work!

Required lame Pun: I can't believe how funny it is.

[Threeshades]

I think we might have someone with a little secret here, he might not wanna share with the paladin. :smallamused:

[Teutonic Knight]

Interesting. The rogue has a problem with the paladin, but not the necromancer. :smallbiggrin:

[Threeshades]

Interesting. The rogue has a problem with the paladin, but not the necromancer. :smallbiggrin:

He's guild certified, so I guess the necromancer has nothing to worry about.

[Nevitan]

Comments galore!
Well, three of them at least. And... and... is that a discussion I see? :smallbiggrin:
As a thank you, I'll release the seventh comic only two days after the sixth! Almost like how a real schedule should work!
Oh, and I've added Titles!
Ha ha, I got you to re-read my comics to see how he titles pertain!

[mucat]

Heh heh. Mean trick, paladin. Good is not always nice...

By the way, in panel 5, is the elf fixing her hair for the alignment test?
"'Cause mostly I'm good-aligned, but split ends are evil!"

[Anterean]

I love that paladin

Yet another comic in the arts craft section I'll be stalking

[Threeshades]

that paladin does seem to have a veeery loose opinion on alignment. I mean they're bandits, not demons, why does he want to kill all of them?

[Prince Zahn]

Is Joel casting something on Will?

Anyway, great comic yet again.

[Herpestidae]

that paladin does seem to have a veeery loose opinion on alignment. I mean they're bandits, not demons, why does he want to kill all of them?

We don't know how powerful these bandits are. They could be a pretty large number, or part of an organization. And the paladin will probably give most of them the chance to repent, like he did with the Orc.

Is Joel casting something on Will?



Probably Misdirection. It fools divinations, and Detect Evil is a divination spell.

[mucat]

I didn't think he killed the orc either, even after she refused the chance to surrender. Unlike the guy who Will stabbed, the orc didn't have x'ed-out eyes when last seen, just a "Hey, that hurt, you bastard!" expression.

[Nevitan]

Heh heh. Mean trick, paladin. Good is not always nice...

"'Cause mostly I'm good-aligned, but split ends are evil!"
She's posing, after all she is an elf.

that paladin does seem to have a veeery loose opinion on alignment. I mean they're bandits, not demons, why does he want to kill all of them?

He has an energetic personality and kill is a strong word to use. He isn't bound to what says though.

In other news I have it on good author-ity that the Eight comic is ready to be read.

[Nevitan]

I am disappointed by the lack of comments on that last comic.
As such I am updating with only a bonus. It's the first cast page I made for the characters that were made by the old comic's writer.

You require comments for comics now? You choppy Turtledove!

*Scribble scribble*

Anyway, the comic's good, the bonus' good, everything is blajibble! :smallbiggrin:

[Nevitan]

Forever and always! It's is the coal that fuels my fail train!

[mucat]

Nevitan, Strip #8 was a good comic -- it revealed more of the personalities of both the characters involved, it cleared up a question from the previous strip, and it established a sense of scale for the cave they're exploring -- there just wasn't all that much that needed saying afterwards, though. Comics that raise mystery spawn lots of speculation, while comics that settle mysteries leave the audience saying, "Ah, so that's how it is."

Both kinds are good, but they won't provoke the same numbers of comments. :smallsmile:

[mastermind]

I like it.

[Nevitan]

It's only been a little over a week, the quality is good enough to warrant that sort of update schedule, right?
>.>
<.<
Well I've uploaded the ninth comic and as a penance for the update gap here's a bonus.
http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n365/b_nebb/comics/Apathy.png

[mucat]

Nice one! I am starting to really like this paladin. And I look forward to seeing what the bard has planned, if the paladin hasn't just beaten everyone up before she gets there...

[Nevitan]

What's this? A mere day between updates? Surely this offering is worthy of your comments. :smallwink:
For your viewing pleasure, please look to the first post for our 10th comic!

[Herpestidae]

Typical bard. Everyone's fighting and you're playing the harp.

[Doran_Liadon]

I am a big fan of your comics name. Clever and rememberable...

Is that greensleeves shes humming?

Ladies and Gentlemen I present the person who was supposed to be writing this comic. Also the person who I stole the title from.

It's actually just some song-like sounds that I've found people tend to make. It's not any particular song.

[mucat]

I like the scat-singing bard. It must drive her friends nuts that she gets to lounge around and play music while they fight, but they can't even chew her out for it because she's actually being perfectly effective at helping them... :smallsmile:

[Nevitan]

I have traveled to an obscure mountain village to train.
The fruits of my training are now uploaded for your consideration.

[Prince Zahn]

Makes me wonder if she's gonna come back to the story at some point,
at least Joel spares one person alive, that's good to know.

Let us know how that turns out Nevitan.

.................................................. ......
P.S. I still like the comics. :smallsmile: out of :smallbiggrin:

[mucat]

Good for Joel. I was feeling sorry for that cleric already last strip...I think it was the way she had never even for one panel stopped making the (oo) expression. Didn't seem like her heart was in the fight.

[Teutonic Knight]

A villain or potential ally in the making. Nice.

[super dark33]

damn, i never saw a paladin much paladinier then him

as for the cleric: i think she will come back and become the party cleric!

[Lupy]

If only you really had someone to fight off apathy. :smalltongue:

I quite like the paladin, and Joel.

[Nevitan]

New comic right on schedule.
That schedule being about ten minutes after it's finished.

[Prince Zahn]

Well, Will knows it as well as I do.

It was worth a shot.

[smuchmuch]

You know, spoils of war is actualy how mercenary were paid for a long time, so actualy he'd be pretty much in his right here.

[Keveak]

You know, spoils of war is actualy how mercenary were paid for a long time, so actualy he'd be pretty much in his right here.

How is the key-word here.

He is obviously being paid by other means (the employer's own income) and as such he do not have the rights to claim anything but that.

The fact that mercenaries are only bound by honour and in some regions, laws is worth considering, though.

But what does it matter? He gets money and the others get to save people, everybody is happy! :smallbiggrin:

[mucat]

Layala's puzzled/annoyed expression in the last frame is the first time I've ever seen her look surprised by anything. Usually (including the beginning of this strip) she's three moves ahead of Will, and calmly tolerates his greed because she's anticipated his actions and figured out how to make them work in her favor...

[Anterean]

I must say, that paladin is mighty persuasive

[super dark33]

nice, he's getting some nore personality.

and if you want to know, layala means night in hebrew

[Prince Zahn]

hmm... funny, I always thought her name was pronounced La-Yay-la.

[smuchmuch]

But what does it matter? He gets money and the others get to save people, everybody is happy! :smallbiggrin:

But he could be even happier if he took more money while the others would still have the same nice warm glow of knowing people are safe*, wich is priceless, hence woth much more than any money the rogue could take.** Hence why he's getting burned in the deal and feels rightfully outraged.
See, it's mathematical, you can't argue with that logic !
(Unless you are a paladin, that is. A paladin with a big scary hammer.)

*Albeit a litle poorer but what does it matter ? They just had not to be robbed in the first place, anyway.

**This argument is offered to you by Roguelogic (tm)

[Keveak]

Ah, but that money was supposed to go to the victims/poor and give more of that warm glow that you just mentioned being worth far more than said money.

[Nevitan]

Well they say you can't keep a good dog down. Apparently they same is true with the comic. 13th Comic is up.

[mastermind]

YAAAYYY!!!! I like updates!

[Anterean]

I have been waiting for this update, and it is nice to have a name for our paladin

[super dark33]

that is the kind of paladin i like.

[Nevitan]

Update'd all over this thread. :smallcool:

[mucat]

I love that bard.

A rogue wields daggers and ingenuity. A paladin wields a sword and the will of the gods. A wizard wields spells and an unmatched intellect.

A bard wields rogues and paladins and wizards.

[Teutonic Knight]

Panel four. Internested is supposed to be interested, I guess. Thought you might want to fix it.

[Doran_Liadon]

Need update...

[Nevitan]

And that is one official update. Comic 15 is live! :smallcool:

[araveugnitsuga]

And that is one official update. Comic 15 is live! :smallcool:

And it's good.
I like it. The art is rather good and the humour is also good. Ergo it's good, above mediocre good but not yet into great territory, still early though.

I think I'll follow.

[Ninjaman]

Yes, i thought it was dead.

[Prince Zahn]

Glad you continued!

minor nitpick: Joel doesn't have feet at the edges of those legs...

otherwise great!

It was but I had some extra time yesterday.

Glad you continued!

Well those are supposed to be the feet, which start inside of the robe.

[Ninjaman]

I love that bard.

A rogue wields daggers and ingenuity. A paladin wields a sword and the will of the gods. A wizard wields spells and an unmatched intellect.

A bard wields rogues and paladins and wizards.

Well that would be a clever bard. Elan is just runing around naked.

[Nevitan]

Comic Sixteen is a-go.

[araveugnitsuga]

Comic Sixteen is a-go.

This one got me laughing, great, clever and insightful on the party mechanics.

One thing though, How was a Necromancer Wizard able to use Illusion?

[Nevitan]

This one got me laughing, great, clever and insightful on the party mechanics.

Well, that should come up later but for now just assume that he didn't choose illusion as one of the schools he isn't allowed to study.

[Ninjaman]

Very clever bard. Very clever mindcontroling bard

[araveugnitsuga]

Well, that should come up later but for now just assume that he didn't choose illusion as one of the schools he isn't allowed to study.

I remember something about opposite schools being unaccesible. And Necromancy and Illusion are opposed. But I can't remember if this sticks for 3.5, I can only verify for 2nd Edition.

[M@XWeru]

Those guys suck! The girl, on the other hand...

Pinky: No, that's back in 2nd ed, when men were men and giant space hamsters were miniaturized!

[Prince Zahn]

Apparently Layala thought everything through, she must really have every little problem - involving the party sticking around indefinitely - covered, huh?

@^^ as for 3.5 school specialization, a specialist Wizard(Joel the Necromancer in this case,) can pick almost any 2 schools of magic he wanted back at lvl1.\
EXCEPT Divination, that's a rule for all wizards.
so, as far as we're concerned, he may have picked anything else,
let's see:
Abjr:uncertain; Cnjr:NO; Div: no; Ench:uncertain; ILsn: NO, obviouly; Tran:NO(Spider climb (http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n365/b_nebb/comics/Unbelievable010.png) row 4); Evoc:debatable(lightning bolt here (http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n365/b_nebb/comics/Unbelievable010.png) is from which caster?)

@V I ninja'd the ninjaman? that's almost Ironic...

[Ninjaman]

Those guys suck! The girl, on the other hand...

Pinky: No, that's back in 2nd ed, when men were men and giant space hamsters were miniaturized!

Almost sigable.

[Nevitan]

Well it's a couple days late because I threw out the first script since it was so bad. I think this new one is one of my best yet. Comic seventeen is up for your viewing pleasure.

[Prince Zahn]

1. don't worry about a few days late... 90(+-)% of the time it's worth it.

2. you have many "best ones yet" (in chronological order,first page, even if one or two don't count), it's a good one, but I have a good feeling that the next few, as well as the last one are/will be better.

keep goin'!:smallsmile:

[Qrod]

The cameo of master thief Diablo Deathbringer is hilarious, and could not go by unappreciated.

Also, I feel as if your attention to what's important in illustration is growing more keen (although not necessarily with vorpal or icy burst qualities).

Was the second to last panel inspired by inception?

Mucho Bueno.

[Ninjaman]

That rouge should be a bard so much he is "fantasynating" not sure what word to use.

[Nevitan]

That would be an update, I do believe.

[Prince Zahn]

Update - Whooooooooooo!!!
A bard's life - yea, you get sore fingers from playing the harp all day and you might earn it too..:smalltongue:

It's comin' back to stay?
*hopes*

[Maquise]

You got another subscriber. I like the characters so far.

[Doorhandle]

Add another lurker. Can't get enougth of these fancomics.
