    Default Marvin the Mage

    Follow the adventures of Marvin the Mage - misanthropic mage, medieval grifter, and middling card player, as he tries to make his way through a perilous multiverse with as little effort as humanly possible. Marvin only has one iron clad rule: NO dungeons, and NO dragons!


    BONUS: We’re giving away a personalized Marvin cartoon to the first 25 Facebook “likes,” and we only have seven left to go - so don’t let the pit trap hit you in the rear!

    The regular comic story will update once a week, guaranteed. It may be more, but that's the iron-clad promise. Bonus art, single panels, and extras will happen more often than that, with RSS, FB alerts, and tweets going out for each update!

    You know, that just gave me ideas for my game.

    So far I am really liking the comic, though the jury is out on wether i like Marvin or not, not as a character but wether i would in-game so to speak.

    Also, poor poor Spork, though now that i think about it i really want to see wether he will become an example to an expanded "melee can't have nice things".

    I'm liking what I'm seeing so far and the comic is definetly going on my "to watch" list.

    Now if only we could get updates more often...

    Well statistically at least, Spork now has three times the chance of getting goodies as anyone else at the table... *evil laugh*

    So he got the Throne.
    I can't really see anything definite for the other two, maybe Balance and Star?
    The money could indicate another Gem considering the rules of the deck.

    Those were excellent guesses, Re'ozul! You almost had it perfectly. Spork drew:
    The Throne: Gain 18 charisma and a keep.
    The Star: Gain 2 ponts in your major ability. (Despite being a half-orc fighter, Spork's primary ability was intelligence. You'll note that although he speaks in a stereotypical dumb-orc dialect, his thought balloons depicted a higher intelligence, perhaps indicating it's all an "act.")
    The Moon: You are granted 1-4 wishes. Spork wished for (at the very least) two French maids and a wheelbarrow full of money.

    The moral: sometimes melee types do get to have nice things... New page tomorrow!

    So he drew Death, but the dread wraith was on his side. Is that about correct?
