August 31st - #59 - The Plot Hooker

Hi folks!
Not used to such a fast update from me these last few months, huh? Well, still, the new strip is here!
Not only did I have the time to produce this latest Casual Gamers, I also had the time to add a little tribute of my own to Hellbound's 100th strip. Check it out here: Hellbound.
Or, if you prefer, check out my guest strip here. But just so you know, it's well worth checking out Hellbound from one to one hundred!

Now, many of you may know, Casual Gamers is inspired from real events/games. Now, before you start searching for an adventure module featuring a certain Lady Drakka, you'll have to know that I opted to pretty much make it all up. While I am cherry picking some elements from various Dragonlance modules, I invent most of the "adventure" stuff. So nobody can sue me for copyright infringement or something. So IF there really is a Lady Drakka somewhere, that's a total coincidence, and a testament to how unoriginal her name is (which is the whole point).

Ok. That said... PLEASE come talk to us on the forum! Be cool! Be hip! Be the shizzit!

August 25th - Prizes You're Just Bound to Use

Yes! FINALLY!
I'm done moving from Montreal to Ottawa (or rather Gatineau), resolved my computer problems, and paid my outstanding debts to the phone/internet company so I can get online again!
In 12 days, I officially begin my Bachelor's degree in Art & Design: Cartoons. I do not kid, such a programme exists. Why do I return to college (yet again) in such a programme?
Because it looks like fun, and it beats finding a real job.
:D

And so, the final version of strip # 58 is finally published. It had been written ages ago, as you can guess, but did change a lot over time. What has changed the most are the prizes themselves, obviously. Over the months, I thought of countless useless and pointless magic items. Evidently, I've forgotten almost all of them. I do enjoy that Chastity Belt of Sardonic Castration, though.
If you have a player who loves to hit on the NPC wenches, it just seems like the perfect magic item to start including in your campaign.

Meanwhile, even though I lost my internet over the last months, they were kind enough to archive all the mail I got. I'd like to thank Ron, Allen, Erik, Pinot Noir, The Duke of URL, Adriana, Frank, Caroline of "Gamers: The Podcasting," and Heavybolter for the emails of worried encouragement and/or indignation at the lack of updates. In some cases, I received the emails very late, but it looks like I finally received them all! So, I'll be answering soon!
