DnD comics

I really should be doing homework right now....but instead, I'm advocating for two awesome DnD comics ^_^ Hey, geeking out is keeping me from freaking out right now, so there.

First is Goblins, which I've recently discovered and is also really awesome! It follows a group of Goblin adventurers who are sick of being attacked by adventurers for XP all the time. If you like Elfquest, the style should appeal to you, and the idea of watching DnD through the eyes of the "enemy" is really cool and original. Check it out -

Second is Order of the Stick, which I've been reading for a long time now, and it just keeps getting better and better! It follows the adventures of, well, a party of adventurers, with a kick-ass plot and fun stick figure illustration to boot. I highly encourage any DnD fan to check it out -

And that's that. If you already know of these and like them, I share in your liking. And if you haven't, go read now!

Game ramblings

There's no game this week because my girlfriend and I have had to travel to her parents' house because of a family emergency, which I won't get into here, but anyway here I sit rambling about game as to feed my addiction ^^;

I actually have an announcement. Zoey and Tharf got married last session!!! Yay!!! It was very sudden, since Zoey wanted a full Gnomish wedding, but they decided to have a small ceremony first and sooner just in case they die before they could have a full wedding. Of course, when Zoey went to set everything up for it, what ended up happening was that the entire Gnomish population in Karth (which is where we are, and the Gnomish population is pretty small, so it wasn't as bad as it sounds) converged for it, and the Priestess who performed it just smooshed all 7 days of the ceremony into two days. It was pretty crazy. But most of the party came, and so did Zoey's father, so it was pretty awesome. Zoey's mother is going to be upset that it happened without her, but Zoey still wants to have a full Gnomish wedding after everything settles down, so hopefully she won't be too mad. Of course, if Tharf doesn't want to go through all the craziness again then Zoey will just let it be, but we'll figure that out later.

As for the upcoming campaign, I'm still very much looking forward to it. I'm a little worried that I won't be able to play some aspects of her personality that well, like her big 'ho-ish-ness.....actually specifically that. Otherwise I think she's going to be amazing. There's going to be this weird balance in her, I think, of her sweet kindness and willingness to help others against her very free sexuality. Hmm, very "girl next door," now that I think of it. You know, that's probably going to be a lot of fun. She's going to seem like this innocent, goody-good girl, especially since she's Neutral Good, and then all of a sudden she's going to be hitting on the prettiest members of the party and the prettiest NPCs. Now that I think about it that way, maybe its not going to be so hard.

And now I better get going so I'm not hogging the computer ^^;

Now with DnD Podcast

Oh yes, I got an iPod this week. I've been very much against them ever since they came out, since it seems that they're taking over the world, but I must admit this is pretty kickass. This will help me out a LOT when I want to listen to music in the studio, but I now also have the D&D Podcast from Wizards of the Coast on it, and I'm subscribed to the Podcast so iTunes will download it for me every time a new one comes out. Yay! There is an odd joy to listening to grown men babble on and on about Dungeons & Dragons. Honestly, it makes me feel like less of a dork, because these people actually do this for a living.

....Of course, I do this for free, so maybe it doesn't make me less dorky after all.

Anyway, there's no gaming this week, which I'm actually kinda glad about. My final semester of college just started and I'm already exhausted. I'll need the time to do some homework, since I've been avoiding most of it. Also, and more important to this blog, it will give me time to continue the e-mail roleplay with my friend Heather. My character, Zoey, and her character, Shino, are in the middle of a rather angsty conversation. I feel that the two of them would actually talk a lot more than we roleplay out around the table, since Zoey considers Shino her best friend, so it makes me happy that they're having a long conversation for once. I also have some e-mail roleplay stuff to finish up with Brennan, who plays Scotty. But he hasn't written me back yet, so I'm not going to worry about it.

Now off I go to upload more and more music onto my iPod (which I have named "Bitchface"). Soooooo evil.
