Reorganize, need to

I’m clearly not creating comic strips on a regular basis, so I think I need to rejiggle the design of this page. Why should there always be a crusty strip at the top? Why ever! I think I’ll simplify the page, and just make it a blog where I can post my dungeons and dragons drawings and whatnot, and then have links/thumbnails to actual strips. Rejigger, inc.

Caterpillar with Trident

Some more dnd art. Below is a centipede we battled. It had a trident and a shield. And it farted a disease cloud. I accidentally drew a caterpillar. And there’s a demon gate.

winter mix

This was meant to be a fall mix. But now it’s winter. So it’s a winter mix.

I didn’t muss with the metadata of the songs, so the order may come out to be whatever. But I did put them in an order. If you feel like making a playlist to set the order to what I intended, here is the order.

If you don’t feel like doing that, I’m sure everything will be okay.

Notes: this is examples of some of the stuff I’ve been listening to lately (it’s not really representative, though, since at least 50% of what I listen to is hardcore punk, and there’s none of that on here). The first few songs are nearly entirely synths and drum machines.

Does anyone have more Kilowautthours? I also have a 7″, but it’s early stuff and is unspectacular post-punk. I like this travels in constants vol.17. Are there really 16 other volumes?!

Fleeing

Here’s a sketch from last session. A giganto fire elemental emerged from some lava after we killed a Derro, and we were like, “Nuts to this!” So we fled. This picture shows Johanna, Cirocco, and Kolm (vaulting over an anvil).

Dungeon drawings

Hey there. Here are a couple more drawings I did during this last campaign. They depict real (fake) events.

At one part we entered a room, and in the middle was a cactus with a potato-man tending to it. Twinkle walked up and touched the cactus, and he tripped out.

Later on in that dungeon we battled a young dragon. The dragon was flying just a few feet above the ground as we battled him. My character is a gnome, so she’s short. So for my attack I marched right up to him and grabbed his dragon balls, inflicting moderate wounds via pull/twist. And so:

It’s fun to draw these. I wish I made more scenes. I’ll be DMing soon, though, so I might have to start devoting my spare time to actual work.

DnD Character Icons

I drew these pictures of the party members of the dungeons and dragons campaign I’m currently involved in.

Then we made buttons out of them, and a complete set was given to each human playing in the campaign. The buttons are useful for moving our characters around the grid map, and knowing who is who as we do it.

I even drew the dungeon master! He’s in a throne, with a crown, and has an orb and some books.

DM

Here is my character, Cirocco MicroMender. She’s a Gnome cleric. Just hit level 5. In this image, she’s wielding an alabaster staff, and holding a scroll.

Cirocco

Here’s Dulcinea. Dulc is a Half-Elf, of the Duskblade class.

Johanna recently joined our party, after we discovered her entwined in some vines deep in a dungeon. She has proved herself useful, if not entirely trustworthy. Elven Rogue.

Kolm is a Human Fighter. He grew up on a farm, and is still tightly gripping his scythe.

Kolm

Twinkle is a Gnome Bard. He loves playing songs to boost our spirits. He currently has a harp that causes him to fart when he plays it (so the picture’s not totally accurate, but oh well).

Twinkle

Here is Zara. She’s an Elven Ranger. This image depicts the time when she hopped on her shield and slid down some greased up stairs while popping arrows into some nasties.

Turbonium

I remember when this was my favorite commercial. A new element! Discovered by scientists! So exciting.

I also like how the woman just says a bunch of sciency things, but never really completes a sentence.

McGriddle full text

Beasts,
As promised, here is the full pdf of McGriddle Defense.

I don’t have many physical copies left. I could make some more, because I already have covers printed. But I don’t know if I’ll need to.

Enjoy,
sysadmin

When I Die

Heya! Here’s another “notification” ringtone. Like, it’s nice to have different tones on your phone to make it so that you know, say, that’s a text; or, that’s an IM; or, that one’s an email!

So that’s how this short ringtone can be useful.

When I die

Any idea who this is?

1026

Today’s 10/26. The time - 10:26 (am or pm) - is a time that I end up noticing about seven times a week. For some reason I always pop my head up to look at a clock right then. Not sure why.

I sort of referenced that once in the panel on the left.

It’s also my sister’s birthday.

I’m thinking of putting a PDF of the entire McGriddle Defense on the site for download. I’ll try to get to that this week.
