Let's Play: OoTS Adventures

[Darwin]

As some of you know I'm by now a semi-talented avatarist capable of drawing stick figures like the rest of you. My creative node has been on a bit of a lazy streak recently and I was hoping to revive it a little by running an adventure similar to the very popular MS Paint Adventures and all it's spinoffs.

So here's the idea: I draw a short strip (I'm thinking 3 panels or so) based off the input I recieve here from the boards, by you guys. Sounds boring? Unoriginal? Possibly a little over-exposed by now? Sure it does! But nobody's forcing you to participate

Episode List
Episode 1: Sharp steel hurts!
Episode 2: Cool Ninja Factor increased by 16%!

Good to see that we inspire more MSPA-type games here. There can never be enough of them.
Seeing how most of them don't last longer than 5 updates... which is a pity. :(
A tip though: This needs more setup. Declare the world, the setting, maybe some meta information. Add a hook of sorts.

1. Yes

2. Male!

3. Either a human or a kobold

4. Wizard (our numerous spells will shearly destroy all enemies and solve all challenges)

[GrlumpTheElder]

2. Female
3. Neko

Thanks for the tip, the more the merrier. I did plan on introducing the world through the game though. To be honest I haven't even settled on anything. I think I'll wait until the character voting has finished tomorrow and I'll think up something where he/she'll fit

Alright, the vote has been tallied and it's time for our very first update. Please keep in mind that this is my first time ever pulling off a project like this.

Vote Results:
1. Do we really want another shnook drawing up half-*beeped* stick figure stuff here?: Yes, apparently!
2. Our hero's gender. Male
3. Our hero's race. Kobold
4. Our hero's class. A swift, deadly ninja

And thus, our journey begins:
Episode 1: Sharp metal hurts!

Our scaly hero, awakened to find himself stabbed to by an autographed sword? What happened? How will we find answer? You decide! Cast your votes for the next episode of OotS Adventures.

[Domochevsky]

A couple more tips:
1. Don't spoiler the image
2. The details are a tad small. You may want to spread the content out over two or more pics for this particular update so you can keep the panels bigger
3. End every update with a definite jump-in point for the readers, possibly even with the little "What will you do?" prompt





That being said...

> Unknown Protagonist: Pocket blade, try not to bleed out in doing so

[Darwin]

2 good ideas, I'll use those immediately, thank you for that prompt gif

I'm not so sure I want to make the images bigger. This is roughly the same size as the one the giant uses. I'll likely experiment a bit with at first, but we should probaly be able to settle in with a good-looking format soon enough.

[Grim ranger]

> Unknown Protagonist: Check carried items and use healing ones, if aviable. If there are none aviable, use the ninja mask to make bandages for the wound. In any event, remove the blade and keep it. You might need a weapon soon.

[M@XWeru]

> Use blade to cut stylish banner into bandage-sized strips of cloth. Use bandages to bind wound.

[The Dark Fiddler]

>KN: Look around, leaving the blade in the wound. What if it's barbed?

KN of course standing for Kobold Ninja, lacking a proper name (and a scene where we give him a ridiculous name only for him to deny it ).

[Ninjaman]

Rip off some cloth.
Take out the sword.
Use cloth as bandage to wound.
Run forward, armed with the sword.

[Zefir]

> Have a giant epiloge and introduce yourself in a monoloug

[M@XWeru]

That's a monologue.
