Web comics

This is this web comic I read,  well there are more than one, but I am only going to  talk about one of them.  I like the comic its a fun time the story is great and in depth and it is on my list of things to check every day. Sure there are parts i don’t understand, such as when the two characters turn into something else and fight.  not really sure what that is about.  However their art style is bright and detailed and full of vim and vigor. Except when its not, recently ( during the last year or so) their style has changed to a very simplistic flat stick figure and body block style. Which gives this great story a very uninteresting dimension and for myself makes this great web comic something that I am hesitant to check on, not knowing which style will be used today.

 

I understand why the artist would use the two different styles. Be it time constraints while still wanting to express a story that is in their head. Or saving the better style for the book of the comic so that is is something special and not just things printed from the webpage. Or perhaps there is another reason I am unaware of that makes doing full detail on the web comic a practical impossibility. I suppose I could find out if I read their blog or the comments. However for the Vast majority of the web comics that I read  I view the imagery or read the entry for the day and that is where I leave things.  perhaps I should read more about the individual artists, perhaps that would expand my enjoyment of their web comic if I knew of the influences and details that went into the comic.  The little that I do see is mostly about conventions that they are attending and items for sale in their online store. This is all well and good for it gets publicity out about the comic and helps to make them money. All of the conventions they attend are much to far away for myself to go to and while I would purchase items in their store most of my money is allocated to bills and food and such.

Adventurer game night the first

Some people in know are getting together to game once or twice a week. these are the chronicles of what happened during the session.

Adventurer is a simple one page, three stat system. Fairly simple but very open ended and leave lots to creativity. Any one can cast spells as long as they pass their Int check.  which can come in handy in a pinch. All spells have a hit point cost which is reduced by how well you roll on your Int check. melee combat is pretty straight forward, with base damage equal to how much you beat your Str check by.  The system can be found on the 1,000 monkeys, 1,000 typewriters site. Which is a fun place to find out about new and different  role-playing systems.

 

DM  :

last nights session was a lot of fun. we have an Elven mage, a human fighter and goblin rogue. The mage almost died. and the fighter cast his first spell

Murray/Shaedyn :

Oooh cool

DM  :

they got summoned by the Vice Roy, because there is a giant rampaging his home town.

DM :

so on the way out of town after getting their assignment they stole a horse and a wagon, and a small cask of wine from this farmer. you can still get punished for your actions, but this trio had been causing trouble around town so the Vise Roy didn't send anyone after them.

DM :

so they got into a fight with some thugs, another mage and his apprentice.

The mage summoned in an earth elemental and then turned him invisible.

Murray/Shaedyn :

Wut!?

DM :

what part? the turning him invisible?

Murray/Shaedyn:

All of it

isn't earth elemental a bit much1?

DM :

well on the way to his home town is when the ran into these guys.

oh yea I forgot to tell you that this isn't a D&D system.

Murray/Shaedyn:

ahh okay true

DM :

so the earth elemental was not all that bad. the rogue and the fighter teamed up on the summoner and took him down. and when he died the elemental went with him.

Murray/Shaedyn:

ahhh okies, makes sense

DM :

his apprentice got sapped by the party mage with this massive lightning bolt.

Murray/Shaedyn:

Ooooh, bye bye apprentice!

DM:

one of the thugs got beat down but the two melee guys, and then the last guy died because the party mage lifted him a half mile into the air and then let him go.

Murray/Shaedyn:

Wow this mage seems pretty strong

DM :

well yes and no. how strong the spells are is determined by how well you roll.

and he just happened to roll max for those two spells.

New Revolution

Welcome to the new revolution not a revolution of guns and blood, but of information and technology. This will be an exciting time for all of here at Confederated bunny and we hope that you will join us as we move towards the future.

Sometimes I wish I could just take all of my anger, hate, and emotions push them into a little ball and hurl it into the sun where they belong. . That way they can’t get involved in my life and hurt myself more than they should. One of the few things that keeps me from accepting the cold embrace of the Reaper is that it would hurt my mother, and people would think I took the easy way out. Another thing that stops me is that I want people to remember me. I hope they do, most of the time I still act like a child much younger than I am I know I am approaching 30 but I still act like I’m in my teens, with imagination and energy, from inside my head I think I look different than I actually do, most of it depends on what I am doing at the time. Yes I know this has ended differently than from what it started out as, but unfortunately that is the way my mind works. Deal with it.

You’re not really here

You’re not really there

Everyone you know is never there

When you need someone

They are never ever there

Leaving you alone inside yourself.

Talking and Thinking.

sometimes; not often it feels like then when I talk to people, friends,, people i have on my messenger lists whatnot. It feels like I am bothering them, like they have something else more important to do. and yet I still try to converse with them. I know that I am not an easy person to talk to and that usually getting answers from me is like pulling teeth.  I just have a really hard time being open and forthcoming with people. I have a few close friends who I know don’t care   and that makes them easier to talk to.

 

Most of them are busy with work, family, gaming or whatnot. And while they are happy to hear from me ( or so I assume) that there is something better they could be doing.  Often I am more open with strangers than I am with family members, mostly because the strangers i talk to don’t know anyone else I know which makes things easier. Easier because if this sense i have that if I tell one person they will tell another and another and so on and so forth. when  all I wanted to have was a nice private conversation with that one person about something. Without telling the whole world about it.

 

I do not know, maybe there is something wrong inside my head. Maybe I should go talk to someone or start taking meds or something. I just do not know. does this mean that I am going to just vanish someday? No of course not that would be silly. I do know that this means that some people may find it frustrating to talk to me. Maybe I like who I am now and am scared of the person I would become if those problems where resolved, I just do not know. Or perhaps I am just thinking to much into this, being to introspective and should stop doing that, I suppose that only time will tell.
