#63 - Weight is a State of Mind.

Yay!
The website's redesign is almost done! I think I only need to fix some slight problems with the F.A.Q. and Links pages, which is no big deal. Unfortunately, since I'm heading back to Montreal for the rest of the week and week-end, I'll only be able to fix it sometime next week.
As this new design required technical expertise way beyond what I know and understand, it couldn't have been done at all without Fodi's Matthew Buchwald. In fact, he did it for me. So please, do what I did and convert to FODIANITY! If there are enough of us, and become a legitimate religion, Matt'll be able to save a hefty sum on his income taxes!

Normally, I would have titled strip #63 "Encumbrance Only Matters When You Remember it Exists," but I ran out of room. Of course, a player only remembers it when it adversely affects monsters and NPCs. GMs just don't remember period. There's a lot of other stuff to think about than a character's weight allowance, most especially if you suck as a GM to begin with.
And I do enjoy how Thoar's attacking with his spetum like it's some sort of pogo stick. That's cool. Had I a spetum, you can bet that's how I'd be attacking!

#62 - Encounters of the Ninth Kind

Phew!

This newest comic was supposed to be online yesterday, but it was so damn long to draw, ink and color, it needed an extra day to complete. In fact, from now on, there'll be a new comic published every Monday... unless they're particularly long to draw... in which case they'll be published on Tuesdays.
So I guess the site'll be updated on Mondays or Tuesdays. My shedule up until roughly Christmas allows me to do that, I believe. Except for a possible exception when the mid-terms'll come around. Anyhow, enough about that!

On to the actual comic!
In the 3rd panel... Tygrib's facial expression is pretty much stolen from the repertoire of another Eyeskream cartoonist. Can you guess who? ;)
So I guess you'd like to know. Exactly how many chapters WERE skipped? Well... a good number of them, I guess. But fear not, the quest is in three adventure modules! :D
Discuss this comic in the forum.
