Brave Story 2

It's taking me a little longer than I'd hoped to get comics out. Not because of artist block, but mostly just lack of materials and some details that I just can't quite remember. Like what Synova looks like and who was in what scouting party.
So I've been working on cheap alternatives for coloring that show up well on Will's scanner's resolution. Enjoy.

We should have known from the start!!!

Hmmmm Well this'll do till I can get the bugs worked out. Click on the image to see it enlarged.

A new road

Since I'm figuring out I'm waaaay better a story telling than I will ever be at Journalism this Noob Tale is going to take a different path than when I first started out.
I'm going to draw.
No, don't run away. I promise it won't suck that badly, especially if Sir Matt is kind enough to let me use his photoshop program from time to time to help me color (because I'm not very good at it if I can't use crayons. XD!

So as I was saying, I'm going to draw memorable things from the campaigns that I'm in right now. I should have the first one up in a few days. Maybe It can be a weekly thing provided I have a scanner available for my use.

Hoping not so much to change things as to overturn them~ Remerly

And Tacit Strikes Again!

I have a striker, her name is Tacit, she's 16 and girly and odd. Even when she's saying things like "let's cut off their heads and throw them in a bag to take with us, as evidence." she's still super cute and innocent.

Well our adventurous adventurers found themselves in an Oasis, surrounded by baddies. Not only did my Sorceress not take any damage, she also ran up to both the enemy casters and dealt them something in the neighborhood of 19 damage with her morning star (and she's a level 2). She's a striker in every way, she just can't take a bloody hit!

Anyways I get a little too into playing Tacit sometimes (not crazily or anything, but like anyone really into drama would tell you I 'become' the character for a little bit). So when she got a double critical I got excited and played her as I imagined her. Dropping her dainty umbrella to pull out her huge mace and run screaming around a sand dune to smash the enemy party's healer in the face! As Matt would say: "She was a vicious ball of screaming hate holding a mace."

Oh I haven't told you nonexistant readers about Matt's campaign yet. Let me just say that the way Matt does things holds my attention and excitement way better than the way Adam does. Maybe we just roll in the same general direction, but I digress.

Jex and I are probably going to be playing every day because, well, going from being very busy to having ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do is hard on him. I have the internet and am very good at busying myself (hooray for bookworm artists and their antisocial tendencies) so I could care less. But I have to keep the man occupied or suffer his despondency.

Random Encounter: From Dungeon Magazine

In all my minute experience with D&D I've never played a prefabricated dungeon. We've played in Adam's version of Faerune (or however it's spelled). Jesse has a world of his own. I made up an island. So, far we've all thought out the encounters and story line ourselves. We made up the badguys and good guys, the NPC's that you run into are guests from our imagination to guide or distract the players from what the 'grand scheme' is.

Jex pulled out a level 1 prefabricated dungeon today. Mostly because there's not much to do at Leon's. And let me tell you... it's different.
In some ways it's a little freeing. Jex can play with me at the same time even though there's not really a "DM" it makes it more of a two player game than the traditional set up.
The different mostly comes in the form of the monsters you fight and how the DM reacts to it. Jex didn't sit down and memorize the prefab, so there's lots of cheezy dialog that get's thrown in, a few flash backs and fast forwards. A lot of things like rolls to avoid encounters and such that aren't as obvious when the DM has laid everything out themselves (yay facial expressions!).

Today, our adventuresome little group comprised of a 15 year old human sorceress, a deva psion, a dragon-born warlord, and a gith (can't remember if it's yanki or zerai) sword mage nearly got slaughtered in the desert by a swarm of beetles. Ew.
It was fun. For the most part. Till everyone dropped but the girls who only had an AC of 13 & 14. lol But we survived!
