[MethosH]

That is so cute... The first comic to come out from the comic lab. It almost makes me feel like some sort of fan comic godfather :smallcool:

[Maharrg]

very nice looking forward to more

[Szilard]

Beatboxing golems would be epic.

[John Cribati]

Well, you can normally tell a lot about a comic from its first joke. Yeah, the sight of beatboxing golems would be pretty ridiculous, so as a gag, it works well. What I want to talk about, though, is the characters. Yeah, it's the first comic, but please remember that the characters (or, at least the PC's) are exactly that; characters, and not devices (save that for NPC's).

[CrimsonAngel]

What is beatboxing, anyway?

[John Cribati]

What is beatboxing, anyway?
Making spitting noises and turning them into a catchy rhythm.

[icastflare!]

What is beatboxing, anyway?

I can show you a really cool korn vid with some epic beatboxing if we ever decide to have beatboxing golems

[Draconi Redfir]

i hearbuy approve of beatboxing golems, hip-hop dragons, thriller zombies, Rap gobnlins, polka hobgoblins, and most of all: tango bugbears.

lemme guess, been done already.

[Dogmantra]

In just about every D&D comic ever, yes.
That said, the rest of it was nice. Not too cliché. I may continue reading this.

Yeah, like everybody did it. Including me (back in 2008).

[CrimsonAngel]

How long has the new comic been there, i've been waiting for this to update all day.

[MethosH]

art tip:
when flipping the faces and bodies always remember the correct side of the injuries, tattoos and scars. :smalltongue:

Nice comic

[Cizak]

Why does he scream "Aah, my eyes!" when he tripps? :smallconfused:

[John Cribati]

Why does he scream "Aah, my eyes!" when he tripps? :smallconfused:

A golem shone a light in his eyes in the first panel.

[Cizak]

No, the golem isn't doing any visible magic in that panel. Isn't the light coming form the druid's magic?

[Dark Faun]

This comic makes me realize how much important to dwarves beards are to me since I constantly have to remind myself Led Stone is a beardless dwarf, not a gnome.

I like the designs, especially Laetak's, and I love how you draw her staff, CrimsonAngel.

[John Cribati]

No, the golem isn't doing any visible magic in that panel. Isn't the light coming form the druid's magic?
Looks like it's reflecting off the sword.

[CrimsonAngel]

I like the disign, too. The light source will always come from werever she points it, as I am NOT changing the reflections every panel.

The light is coming from the druid.

[CrimsonAngel]

I can double post, right? I own half the comic.

Anyway, i'll be telling ya'll when there's a new comic up from now on.


Oh, by the way, new comic is up.

[icastflare!]

Oh, by the way, new comic is up.

its more like 75 percent because This story would probably suck on paper. So ya your extremely important in the workings of this comic

[Cizak]

Um... what the hell is going on in panel 2? :smallconfused:

[icastflare!]

malfuctioning that apparently defies gravity

[Szilard]

I'm gonna guess breakdancing.

[icastflare!]

by the way, nice new avatar crimson

[CrimsonAngel]

Thank you. :smallsmile:

[CrimsonAngel]

I sent the new comic to him, so it should appear any moment.

EDIT: He's offline.

[icastflare!]

the comic's up. place your theories to see whats in the hole

[Dogmantra]

Free hugs for everyone!

[Arti3]

Lies. It's just black paint, so that it appears to be a hole.

[icastflare!]

good try but no. I am not that inventive

[Dogmantra]

Guys.
There was no rebuttal of my theory.

Clearly this means I am correct.

good compromise. I wish that would happen in my dungeons

[Evil Mustache]

A new comic is down the hole! That or that thing from Star Wars. :smallsmile:

[Felyndiira]

Down the hole is horrors that cannot be comprehended...in the Darkness.

*tosses in support for comic and for Crimson's awesome art*

[smuchmuch]

Down the hole is another hole, of course.
Now what may be down that hole, here is the question.

Also nice comic from what I see until now. Although the action is a little confusing at time.

[icastflare!]

the new comic is up. we gavea free shout out to dogmantra and arti3. might have some problem viewing it because I am setting up an archive currently

[Dark Faun]

I like the updates. I'd be more wary of what's under the box than of the staring floor, though.

[Threeshades]

Does Laetak have an animal companion? Animal companions are the coolest class feature in the game.

[icastflare!]

Does Laetak have an animal companion? Animal companions are the coolest class feature in the game.

she does but its only strip 6 so we havent had much to show stuff up. dont worry we have stuff ready for backround. Its based off my campaign setting with a full history and geography. I even have a backround for gausra and the super wacky tiefling cleric of skamos,Araver.

[Szilard]

I'd suggest putting the comic itself into every post you have announcing the comic, then people won't have to go to the first page every single time.

alright no prob.

Edit: Might have time for an additional script and plot conspiracy ideas cause
i am in a business meeting in a floodzone with a noreaster coming. staying at a friends house. his house is raised and his power/ internet never went out when the one that brought up 4 feet of water so i am in good shape.

Heheh awesome. Although it could still be magic paint; whenever you press the button four yellow "eyes" (paint) appear :)

If you don't know what TAKS is, looks it up.

Is that what they call taxes in Texas?:smalltongue:

It's the end of the year major test that deterins if you pass or fail in a subject. You're only aloud to fail one of the subjects or you get held back.

EDIT: If you do fail one, you take the class twice next year and lose an elective.

on my way. I will get the ghosts of the beatboxing golems and the mysterous friend of skamos. We will teach him a lesson.

[Draconi Redfir]

mind If I sig quote that?

not at all. might wanna spellcheck it though

[Dvandemon]

flare if you want to, make the banner in your sig a link by highlighting the entire image code and click Insert Link

[Lix Lorn]

I like it! ^_^

[Tulio d Bard]

Nietzsche, isn't it?

[Lix Lorn]

Does that mean nice?

[icastflare!]

yay down time between strips. anyway just wanted to tell you guys something. Things will be heading to a less funny zone and momentarily in to a super cereal zone. might be a while, but its coming. It isnt all giggles grins, and whatever expressions golems can use.

[Lix Lorn]

DunDunDUN.

(Eagerly awaits)

[Lawyergoblin]

I completely like this comic. I do, however, really want that guy in the next to the tiefling to be a major character. Is he going to fill the role Redcloak filled in the early comics, as just that random spell-caster with the villain, and has no name?

[icastflare!]

I want the nameless person to be central, but I am having a hard time giving him a name. First choice is saint anger. I will now claim my metallica fan badge

[Draconi Redfir]

Do what I do when I need to come up with names. Smash a bunch of keys, and work with it. For example:

*Twitches fingers, pressing any key he can reach*

d,nhjscfdjcnvds
This is our starting group. Lets see what we have here....

Danihijsca
Lets remove the "," and add some vowels, remove some letters we don’t like, and capitalize the first letter.

Danjsicah: Dan-j-sickah
Clean it up a bit and say it aloud to work on pronunciation.

Dasikah: Dah-sickah
Clean it up a tad more, remove what we don’t like, edit, ETC. and you have a perfectly good name. Don’t like it? Tap some more keys and try again!

optional:
add some punctuaition to add veriety. I.E.
Da'sikah: Dah-shickah

[Lix Lorn]

The punctuation is tacky. Otherwise, surprisingly good plan. XD

[icastflare!]

hey guys, wondering where the new comic is. well there have been some delays, including my own short horror story called "The Eyes Of Vith'ir. Was thinking about posting it here or somewhere else to sate your everconsuming appetite.

[CrimsonAngel]

I was thinking Bob for the hooded guy. >.<

[icastflare!]

yay for genericness. were their bobs in the dark ages,any?

[Szilard]

There were probably Roberts.

[CrimsonAngel]

Here, look at this while I work slowly on the comic. :smallfrown:

As this comic godfather I demand updates. :smallannoyed:

Did that work?

[Meirnon]

Blatant, unrelated fan service for microphiliacs and xenophiliacs? I think that this works for the meantime.

May I suggest a warforged in the middle of a burlesque routine for the next one, with big, pink-feathers.

[CrimsonAngel]

What's Burlesque?...

Actualy, i'm a little scared to find out.

[MethosH]

http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e381/CrimsonAngelChris/7.png

Did that work?

SWEET MOTHER OF... MY EYES!!! :smalleek:

[Lix Lorn]

(Still distracted by the first one)
Pretteh... @_@

[icastflare!]

crimson now has my praise and I am afraid of him.

[Lix Lorn]

Heeheehee. XD

[Dogmantra]

Nekkid!

Did that work?
Is it wrong that I find this one hotter?
:smalltongue:

[Lix Lorn]

No, but you might want to look at the third link on my signature. :smallwink:

[Dogmantra]

Been there, done that, T-Shirt is on hold though. :smalltongue:

[Lix Lorn]

...I wanna t-shirt.

Work faster!
...Or more fanservice.:smalltongue:

[icastflare!]

our system for making comics involves me sending crimson scripts and sometimes he completes them or draws fanservice. We dont have 10 issues out yet and we have 2 articles of fanservice. what does that say about this comic? :smalleek:

[Lix Lorn]

One/both of you are slightly perverted? :smallamused:

[icastflare!]

Probably:smallwink:

though to tell the truth, I did not tell him we should have fan-service. That was his marvelous idea.

just a quick survey: How many of you would like to learn about the world itself? I probably will put in articles so you get to know the world itself.

[Lix Lorn]

Sure. ^_^ Ten! Is a magic number~

[icastflare!]

alright here is something I whipped up. It explains a race in my world. Some details like the great betrayel will be explained eventually.

now here is my little piece of work


In the northern wastes lay demons and other horrible abominations. One of the most blood thirsty is the Fel Orc. During the great betrayal, many orcs became tainted. Slowly they started to turn slowly toward violence, more so than regular orcs. Their skin turned to a dark red. They saw no logic, only fury.

The Fel orcs are known for intimidation more than strength. While a regular orc might kill a victim on sight, a Fel orc might take it back to his home and torture the victim. They have been known to worship demons, though most is directed towards the god of Fel orcs, Tekugvon.

The Clerics of Tekugvon are known for leading raids against humans, elves, and dwarves. The blood is collected and half is given to their patron god, and half goes to Skamos. This is for Skamos’s act in the great betrayal. He is as much a key part in the existence of Fel orcs as Tekugvon, though some fanatics do not want to admit it.

Fel orc society is based off of power and fear. The Chieftain will often have to deal with people taking his spot in society with weapon in hand, and a spear for holding the losers head on a stick. Villages will often break up over a simple issue. The break up is always violent.

Few towns survive more than 40 years. If they do they are an official Fel orc city, and are most structured. Guards will watch over the streets, and wars for power normally become less frequent. Once a city is established, Fel orcs from destroyed towns will start flocking there.

The most powerful city is known as Gravilug. It is ruled by Slagworth, an experienced chieftain. About 5,000 fels reside in the city + the 3,000 slaves. It is on top of a remote mountain. The guard has about 700 orcs and 200 slave lookouts. The reason for the large number of guards is counter raids. Many have laid siege or tried to destroy the city. They need as many people with weapons on hand as they can in those moments.

[Lix Lorn]

Interesting!

Your spoiler didn't work, btw.

[icastflare!]

Interesting!

Your spoiler didn't work, btw.

fixed. as a former wow addict , the fel orcs there heavily influenced these fel orcs.

[Lix Lorn]

Hehs. XD Awesome.
(never played WoW.)

[icastflare!]

want to be filled in on the fel orcs from WoW?

[Lix Lorn]

If you like~

[icastflare!]

meh I wont. its tidious and the lore isnt important in that game, its getting people together,killing stuff, then argueing over the loot because someone got one thing and he got 3.

and also about trying not to aggro the whelps. MINUS 50 DKP. yay for inside jokes

[Tulio d Bard]

Do what I do when I need to come up with names. Smash a bunch of keys, and work with it. For example:

*Twitches fingers, pressing any key he can reach*

An Update??!?!

Gasp! The End Is Nigh!


Comic 7 :DUN DUN DUN!!!

Comic 8: Jump in the fire!
http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e381/CrimsonAngelChris/oots/875.png

[CrimsonAngel]

Sent the comics to Flare, expect a post from him soon.

EDIT: Embaresment.

EDIT: 7 and 8*

[Lix Lorn]

Aaaawesome. XDD

[icastflare!]

by the way, I love how in the last panel scoss is defying gravity. first happens with golem malfunctions, now with halfings.

[icastflare!]

this is how magic works in this world of webcomicness.

Magic is a very common thing in the world. Mages and many other magic users bend it to the will of the user. Most do not know where it comes from, and there are many skeptics that it is all witchcraft. All of those rumors are mostly lies, though it is debatable with warlocks. In fact, most magic is natural.

When the world was created, there was an extraordinary amount of left over material. Many of this is of an otherworldy nature. If the inhabitants found this, they probably would have been killed by the mere magnitude of the power in these items. Instead the power was extracted and put in the world. It made a ring surrounding the planet invisible to the eye, but of extreme power. The ring started to create lines into the ground itself, almost like threads of pure energy. These are called Ley lines.

Wizards spend years learning how to take it from nature and use it in spells. Other users of the arcane use it in a way that is considered reckless due to the havoc an accident can cause. Warlocks don’t directly use it. They take it from a higher power that they sold their soul for. In a way, it is safer then direct use of wizard magic.

As suspected, the energy started to pervert parts of the world after a long course of time. It is the reason for some creatures like the foulspawn. It also allowed some mortals to become powerful beyond their wildest dreams, like mages. It also tainted nature itself. Some places starting creating portals to other planes and abominations of nature came through. Though the greatest effect on nature is probably mana

Mana is energy from the Ley lines put into an item or container. When used upon a person, it helps them become powerful at the arcane arts, but at a cost. When it is not in its natural form of the Ley line, it can become an addicting substance. Many mages have met their end trying to become the best wizard in existence this way.

After subsequent use of mana, people begin to change. Some is the way most addicts act, while some is in a very different manner. Some begin to have glowing blue veins on their arms, neck, leg, and chest. After awhile, parts of the body begin to grow sporadically. Then they normally become mutated abominations. In EXTREMALY rare cases, some attain near god levels of power. That is one of the few reasons non mages take it.


and knowing is a fourth of the battle.

[Lix Lorn]

A fourth? You fail maths forever. XDD

[icastflare!]

XDDDD any thoughts on it?

[Lix Lorn]

Yeah, is good. ^_^

[CrimsonAngel]

*on the ceiling. Haley does this on the cover of dungeon crawling fools.
* malfunctioning (you asked for this, no?)

[Dark Faun]

4 eyes? Who does she think she is, Raven's father? :smallwink:

Very good updates. :smallsmile:

[Draconi Redfir]

and here i thought it was gunna be some big scary monster, turns out its just a giant winged chick with four eyes and reach!

[Kumo]

She's got FOUR. EVIL. EYES. Most ultra evil guys only got TWO. Look at Darth V.

I thought they were a metaphor for the inherently flawed people running the country that you happen to be from, or even just any country on the face of the planet. :smalltongue:

[CrimsonAngel]

No, it's my fault. I still have several scripts to draw. Blame me.

[Draconi Redfir]

it is the fault of magical space pirate ninja zombie cyborg Dinosaurs.


fixed that for yaz ^^

[icastflare!]

fixed that for yaz ^^

that was not what I was going for. that wasnt even the reference I was going for. it was a mix of multiple references.

[Lix Lorn]

Accursed magical space pirate ninja zombie cyborgs... they ruin everything.

[Meirnon]

It's because of them my homework is never done. And why I fail algebra. All their fault.

[Draconi Redfir]

why cant the magcal space pirate ninja zombie cyborgs be dinosaurs?:smallconfused:



COWBOY dinosaurs:smallbiggrin:

[Dvandemon]

I read that theres a forum somewhere that contains details on how to make any creature a "Half-" template

what does that have to do with this thread?

[Meirnon]

Fun facts? :smallconfused:

Well you were talking about the questionable possibility of demon cowboy angel dinosaurs. I also thought it would make an interesting story element

[Lix Lorn]

Ooh!
So we could make templates for all of them!

[Kumo]

Ooh!
So we could make templates for all of them!

mine's part lawyer, i don't think that can be a template =/

[Rae Artemi]

mine's part lawyer, i don't think that can be a template =/

Kumo, there's a template that, as far as I can tell, turns you into animated jelly. If they can make a template for that, they can make a half-lawyer template.

[Lix Lorn]

Or you could give it class levels. XD

[Kumo]

Kumo, there's a template that, as far as I can tell, turns you into animated jelly. If they can make a template for that, they can make a half-lawyer template.

'Lawyer' isn't a race. it CAN'T be a template.

[Rae Artemi]

'Lawyer' isn't a race. it CAN'T be a template.

How do you know Kumo? Are you a lwyer? How do you know that all Lawyers aren't just a special race or breed of humanoid that looks like a normal human?:smalltongue:

[CrimsonAngel]

Lawyers are types of demons.

[icastflare!]

Lawyers are types of demons.

I considered them devils of a lawful evil alignment.

[Lix Lorn]

Nah, they twist rules to their own end. neutral evil.
We need a base class called 'Trainee Lawyer' with a capstone making them an outsider. XD

now I feel ashamed for never playing 3.5 or 3rd edition. maybe I will join a 3.5 group using srd rules on here one day If i can get used to the rule changes.

[Dogmantra]

I demand more fanservice.

[Kumo]

I demand more fanservice.

shame on you!

They have a thread for that :smalltongue:

[icastflare!]

shame on you!

They have a thread for that :smalltongue:

you do realize that they are under heavy watch because shipping, crack pairings, and fanservice are on a short leash. If they dont improve they Will have to leave the forum.

it's still okay as long as it's not even the slightest bit possibly NSFW.

Unfortunately, fixed that for you. :smallyuk:

Glad that threads like these can't really go that off-topic (but I am hoping for updates). I fully support crack pairings, if only to see what the kid would look like.

Protection from Energy.Think about this. Is pyroblast likely to be an energy effect?

Also:

Skill Checks
Unlike with attack rolls and saving throws, a natural roll of 20 on the d20 is not an automatic success, and a natural roll of 1 is not an automatic failure.

Your point? :smalltongue:

Epic levels have spells of higher than 10th level.


Think about this. Is pyroblast likely to be an energy effect?
Hmm. Lessee. PYRO=Fire. Fire is a type of energy. So... yes.

You silly gamers are messing up my subscription notifications by playing "Epic-Level Wizard Scenario". :smallfurious:

Granted, any sufficiently nerdy person has done such a sufficiently nerdy thing... although when we were younger, it was mostly "Pew-pew, I shot you" "No, I had a force-field. You missed." "Nuh-uh, I shot you with bullets that go through force-fields." "There's no such thing. I have a super-force-field!", which we now look back as one of the most horridly annoying and circular things we did when playing "cowboys and astronauts".:smalleek:

Abjuration

* Level: Swordmage 9
* Casting Time: 1 standard action
* Range: Melee Attack
* Duration: 1 round/level
* Saving Throw: Will partial

The Swordmage makes a sweeping action, as if chopping something near his foe, but his hand is empty. None who witness it can tell, but his foe can - he no longer can call upon the power he once wielded.

This Incantation produces a blockade between the target and his power. Mages cannot reach the flows of Arcana that their spells manipulate, priests cannot reach their deities, psionicists cannot bring their power to bear on the world around them, binders cannot reach vestiges and shadowcasters cannot reach the Plane of Shadow. In short, the target loses any ability that they would lose in an Antimagic Field or Null Psionics Field, for the duration. Extraordinary abilities are not affected.

On a successful saving throw, the target retains its abilities, but takes a -6 penalty to their effective level when determining the effects of their supernatural abilities (e.g., caster level, manifester level, binder level, etc.) This may prevent access to higher-level spells, powers, mysteries and abilities until the duration expires. Additionally the cast time of any, spells, powers, mysteries and abilities activated by the target is increased by one step (i.e., a swift action becomes a standard action, a standard action becomes a full-round action, and so on.)

Sheriff of Moddingham: This thread has degenerated into off-topic spam. Please don't do that here or elsewhere. I'm likely to start handing out Warnings for repeat or intentional offenders.

[CrimsonAngel]

What the- why are you guys talking about personal business?

Also: Why would someone intentionaly offend?

[icastflare!]

Crimson I believe he means intentionally letting a conversation get started here. Lets get some ground rules running shall we?

-No talking about off topic things or play fighting. Take it to pm or random banter thread.
-No begging for fanservice. As epic as it is, it distracts from updating the comic. EVery once and a while is okay.
-Feel free to talk and what not but make sure it relates to the comic. I cannot stress this enough. If roland believes its an issue,its an issue.

And I am suprise no conspiracy theories have popped up about the mage slash plot device that has shown up.

Okay, he is made of pure manliness, and he comes from the elemental plane of manliness. His favourite colour is pale blue with cyan overtones, and that's going to come up in strip 19. His favourite food is peanuts, but he is deathly allergic. That will come up as a plot point when the big bads try to poison him. Also he will join the party.
