View Full Version : Nights at the Round Table

Hello all. A while back I had an idea for a webcomic, but no one really seemed interested, and anyone who expressed any intrest didn't follow up. Recently, I've had some more ideas, so I once again submit my idea.

Basically it's a comic about some D&D players. The comic shows both them as the players and their characters. It's supposed to show the random humor of a D&D session, along with a plot with in-game characters. Here are my characters so far.

The Characters

Greg: Greg is a computer programmer in his mid 20s. He has a high-stress job, lives in an apartment, and is single. His only savior is D&D. S0 he puts up flyers around town trying to organize a D&D group. Imagine his suprise when a bunch of teenagers show up. Greg is the straight man and is often annoyed by the antics of his Players. He is the DM.

James/Salveon: James is a musical guy. He's 17, and plays lead guitar in his band. He's got a great life, but is really only interested in Music and Soccer. His mom bought him some D&D books for Christmas and he was hooked. He plays Salveon. Salveon is an Elven Bard, the only elf on the team, which often incurs "Elfism" (Elf Racism). He is a competent character, but is put off by being forced to fight more than he'd like.

Mandy/Holly: Mandy is a slightly nerdy brunnette high schooler. She is a creative writer and dates James. She learned the game from reading James' books, and picked it up pretty easily. She plays Holly, a human paladin, and is pretty helpful in the game. She is a good character, but sometimes hinders the party with her Code of Conduct, leading to a lot of situations where Step 1 is "Don't tell Holly". Her character dates Salveon.

Reap/Myotsyn. "Reap" is a gothic high school student and an avid D&D player. Despite playing for a long time, he's petty and immature. Not much is known about him, but no one really cares enough to ask. He dislikes James, tries to hit on Mandy, and passively aggressivly hates Matt. He plays Myotsyn, a Human Sorcerer. Because they are 1st level, he's not really that effective, and often has to hide behind Fyron and Holly to survive. He is often called a loser wizard by the party, and gets angry easily. His possibly only good spell is Magic Missile.

Matt/Fydon: Matt is maybe the only normal player. He's a nice guy, a student athelete, who found a PHB in his attic and sat down and read it. He plays Varsity Tennis, and gets good grades. He likes music, which makes him James' good friend. He plays Fydon, a Cleric of Pelor. Fydon reflects Matt in being nice, and even tolerates Myotsyn. He's not really a good fighter, and is mostly a damage sponge, and his only real skill in battle is buffing and healing.

Paul/Derek: Paul is an intern at the company where Greg works. He's in his early 20s, and was forced to come to the sessions by Greg, as a personal favor. Paul is ocassionally agitated by the immaturity of the other players, and tries not to get involved in OOC discussions. He plays Derek, a human rogue, who is cunning and useful, but also sarcastic and a jerk at times. He is wanted in a lot of cities for theft.


Any art style is cool with me as long as it's good and a comic can be done 2/week. Update days for me work best on Wednesday and Sunday, but since I'm just the ideas, they can be drawn whenever and I'll update on a mutually agreed upon day.

So, anyone want to try it?

Well i definately can't, I'm already neck-deep with my other webcomic.

And good gosh, another webcomic? God bless your souls.

Sounds interesting enough, I might give it a try. Do you have any examples of your script-writing, or while we're on the subject, do you need an art sample?

I'm interested, seeing as how a webcomic would probably improve my style:smallwink:

A few qeustions :
Can I see a few parts of your script-writing?
How long do you think the comics should be?
Have you got a bit of plot already?

Something not unlike this?

Just be sure to make yours different enough to carve out your own niche.

2007-12-07, 02:19 AM
I could always lend a hand. I've been considering doing some mercenary Adobe Illustrating recently - that said, I also don't think that there are enough drawn comics. Hmm ...

Edit:I think that, to make it different from CB, there's gotta be another gimmick ... I'll think of something and post later today.

Cool, glad your persevering with you idea, I can remember how many artists bailed out on you, that can be a real downer on creativity.

I'm another that's probably too busy with my own webcomic to be much help, but I did recently draw a group of D&D players around a table, and a few of them are just close enough to your character concepts that they may be of use.

http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z175/banjo_the_clown/IntroPic.png

These could almost be Paul, Matt, Reap & Andy with a bit of editting. I'm not going to be able to draw for you, but I wanted to post this on here to give somebody who might be interested some ideas for characters.

Anyone who takes this up for Raistlin has my full permission to use anything from the group above that they want to, you can redraw them...anything that might be of help to you.

I'll think about it but I'm only an amature artist, I'll make some templates for the characters and see how it looks like.

2007-12-07, 11:01 AM
Actually, something interesting occured to me last night. Since we have so many people applying, it might be a cool idea to have two different people with different styles for real life and in-game.

Szilard
2007-12-07, 11:49 AM
I got two of the characters

Greg:

James/Salveon:

Any suggestions before I commit myself and make the other characters.

That would be good.
And it would also lessen the pressure of the artists of the 'twice per week' schedule, we can each do one per week.


And a few other qeustions :
Do you want the OOC(Greg, James, Mandy, Reap Matt) People also to be in OOTS-style?

Greg DM'ing :
http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/legolas-maxx/Comic-Gent.jpg
(Note, I spend 15 minuts on this, the details arent good and I am not satisfied with the chair.
If I get to be(one of the) artist(s), if I get to be one of the artists, you have a 96% chance that I will spend much more time on it)

Btw, I think I should keep it simple, as opposed to what I just did....

This is my real life concept for Greg. I don't have much practice in that style, so it kinda sucks.

I'm interested, seeing as how a webcomic would probably improve my style:smallwink:

A few qeustions :
Can I see a few parts of your script-writing? Depends. I don't have any hard and fast scrips done, but I have some rough ideas. I could flesh them out soon, but for now, they're rough.
How long do you think the comics should be? 6-10 panels a comic usually.
Have you got a bit of plot already? Again, roughly.


A few other things: The characters will look like their players, just with different clothes and weapons and stuff. Plus elf ears in James/Salveon's case.

On the topic of two artists, I love it. A realistic style for OOC and an OotS style for IC would be awesome. Obviously, some changes would have to be made to make sure that they are still recognizable, but I think it'd work.

Individual stuff: @Yoshi: I like your style in OotS, but I prefer Szilard's. Sorry. Your realistic style is good, and if I don't see any more, it'll be the OOC strips.

@Szilard: I really like your OotS style. I have some stuff written up somewhere on the character's appearance, but what you drew fits the the feel pretty well. Unless someone steps up with amazing OotS art, you're my IC choice right now.

I'll go look for the Word document with the detailed appearance stuff and get them to you all soon.

Another thing: These will not be strips that are all OOC or all IC. Most scripts will probably have both IC and OOC panels.

yoshi927
2007-12-07, 06:19 PM
In that case, I'll draw a few more real-life's for you...

Raistlin1040
2007-12-07, 06:26 PM
Hold off until I can find that damned Word document.

Illiterate Scribe
2007-12-07, 06:36 PM
I'd also probably be looking at doing realistic, pen and ink style. We don't all have vector art programs, damn you! Well, OK, I do, but I think that it would be nice to have something in this forum which isn't another OOTS style thing. No disrespect to any of its practitioners, but it's good to have variety.

I'll post my initial responses tomorrow.

Raistlin1040
2007-12-07, 06:38 PM
Do you have an example of that style?

Szilard
2007-12-07, 06:58 PM
@Szilard: I really like your OotS style. I have some stuff written up somewhere on the character's appearance, but what you drew fits the the feel pretty well. Unless someone steps up with amazing OotS art, you're my IC choice right now.


Cool thanks, I'll make the rest of the characters over the weekend, or should I wait untill the real life characters are posted?

Idea: Perhaps Illiterate Scribe could draw the players in realistic style while Szilard draws the PCs in OOTS style. That would give a good way to distinguish between the two.

2007-12-07, 07:03 PM
HAH! Found it!


Greg: Black pants, a button-up white shirt, and a red tie. Has short dark brown hair, and some 5 o'clock shadow.

James: Black hair, kind of long and shaggy. A dark red t-shirt with a guitar on it. Baggy blue jeans. Green eyes, white skin.

Salveon: James' skin, hair and eyes. Elf ears. Some chainmail armor with a black shirt on underneath. Weilds a scimitar, and carries a guitar on his back.

Mandy: Shoulder-length brown hair, straight. Blue eyes, white skin. A purple shirt and a grey jacket unzipped over it. Tight blue jeans.

Holly: Mandy's skin, hair and eyes. Full plate armor (No helmet), a longsword, and a shield. The shield should have a symbol of a LG god (Have fun with this. Dieties in the comic are a melting pot of regular D&D, Greek Mythology, and my own ideas.)

Reap: Really long brown hair (think Sephiroth), and all black clothing. Just plain black shirt and black jeans. He's got chains in his jean pocket, and a black coat with a picture of the Grim Reaper on the back. Pale with brown eyes.

Myotsyn: Reap's skin, hair, and eyes. He's got a red robe, and a black cloak pulled over it. He carries a quarterstaff at his side and has a crossbow strapped to his back. His other hand glows with a black energy.

Matt: Black hair with a goatee coming it. He's got a green shirt with a red jacket over it with a tennis racket on it. Red shorts. Dark skin, dark eyes. (Note: Hair style like Banjo's guy in his thing. Second from left.)

Fydon: Matt's hair, skin and eyes. Breastplate armor with a shield with Pelor symbol on it. Wields a heavy mace.

Paul: Blonde hair in a ponytail. A pair of baggy black pants and an equally baggy white shirt. Wears a watch on one hand and has a bored expression on his face. Has a pencil on one ear. Tanned skin and blue eyes.

Derek: Paul's hair, skin, and eyes. Wears black leather armor and holds a bow in his hand. A dagger at each of his hips. Wears a leather belt with a lot of pockets.

Go ahead and make them. The skin color and eye color won't differ from what I've stated, so there should be no conflict there. As for the hair, they'll probably be similar, but if they are really different, I'll just pick one out of yours and Yoshi's (Or Illiterate Scribe's) and the other can just edit theirs to fit.

you should try to fill the mouths, cause they look , i don't know, weird.

if you use inkscape, i would recommend you to go thicker on the lines in the head and arms, and maybe make mouths as full images, not just lines.

There's Greg and James. If you can't tell who's who, probably best to just sack me now. :smallbiggrin:

Turns out I can't draw a guitar for the life of me, and I remember he also liked soccer. Is that okay? If not, I might be able to do a guitar, maybe.

I'll do the other two tomorrow.

@ the Reap drawing, you have to hand it to me, I was thinking Sephiroth.

Raistlin1040
2007-12-13, 11:09 PM
*Sighs and shakes head* What are we going to do with you?

A few things. Matt. Why does he have red skin? Also, no mustache. He's not that old. James. The hair just weirds me out a bit. It just looks like a lazy mullet. The style I'm going for is unkempt, but good. Like he just got out of bed, and yet his hair kind of fell into the right place. Reap. Pale him up a bit. He's too tan for a gothic teen.

yoshi927
2007-12-13, 11:12 PM
I don't have much experience in this style, agreed. In my opinion, you'd be better off picking IS. But, to defend myself, you sad Matt was dark-skinned, and I made him dark-skinned. Doesn't seem red. And I drew a goatee, also like you said... Although, you're the chief, chief.

Other than that, roger.

Raistlin1040
2007-12-13, 11:55 PM
Sorry you have to edit so much Yoshi. i just really want it to look perfect.

@Szilard: Some backgrounds would be good, but hold off on NPCs except for this guy.

A good-looking human rogue. Clothing style similar to Elan's (Shirt with a vest pulled over it) but darker colors (Dark blues, brown, black ect). Untidy brown hair, brown eyes. Wields a sabre, and has a belt covered with throwing knives. If possible, make an "evil" symbol on his jacket. Have fun with it, make it the symbol of an evil god, or whatever you want really as long as it looks sort of evil, and is dark reddish.

Szilard
2007-12-14, 10:34 AM
I'll get too it, do you have any specific backgrounds in mind? like forest, desert, city, a builing etc.?

Edit:Whats a Sabre? is it just a sword because I couldn't find it in the players handbook.

Raistlin1040
2007-12-14, 07:01 PM
It's like a scimitar, but more stylized. The blade is more curved, and the hilt is more intricate.

Edit: A town and a forest would be good places to start.

yoshi927
2007-12-16, 01:40 PM
I'm done with the revisions as of right now. I'm going to spend some time today going over them all and cleaning up lines and such, so I should have them up by tomorrow.

Alright, there you are.

Almost perfect. Just make Matt's skin more like this color.

Edit: And Szilard, all looks good except for a few things about the rogue. 1: Don't make him smirking. Make him look more like he's bored. And 2: Change his hair from spiky, to more like mid-length around, and the bangs a bit longer and falling over his eyes.

Raistlin1040

I've got the edit done, I'll just update the image when I get home. Thanks for being patient, it's a really small thing that you asked for. I should've had it done way earlier.

So, about the comic size, you want it the same as Szilards?

Yeah, but the first comic at least will have more panels. The big panels will probably be cut in half for 8 smaller panels, unless we need a big shot. The first comic doesn't actually require Szilard at all, and he's got the PCs done, so in comic 4 or 5 when they are introduced, they'll be ready. I could send you the script for comic 1 if you're not busy.

edit: Just thought of something. I don't have a name for the comic. Any ideas?

Haha. He made a punny. I like it. Also, Szilard, looks good. Yoshi's offline, but I'll send him the script for comic one, and hopefully it'll be ready in the next couple days.

And from the dark depths of my imagination, and Yoshi's art program, I bring you, the first comic.

Colouring on our main character seems off in the final panel, but certainly Yoshi artwork. Nice to see it!

I'll list NatRT in the Webcomics Index when there's more than 1 strip.

Hey guys. I decided not to write a new script yet, because I felt like giving you (Yoshi and Szilard) a holiday break. I'm so generous :smallwink: . I've got an idea though, so Yoshi, expect a script in the next day or so.

Bah! My fault, took a while to finalize the script. But we did it, so I'm not complaining.

This is very impressive. It's taken a while for it to get rolling, but now that it has, I like it a lot. Just from the seven panels of the first strip, I already feel sympathetic for the main character and know what's up with him; the same with the second strip for the rest. The dialogue is concise but well-written and funny. "Okay, you see the window where it says you have to install Flash to run the program? Yeah, click "Install Flash"." That cracks me up every time.

I mean no offense to any of the numerous webcomic creators on these boards, but this comic definitely is the most grammatically correct one that I've seen. Even Failing Saves and Whitefeather occasionally have a misspelling or typo (which sometimes breaks the flow), but this is composed perfectly as well as unique and well-written.

Gah! I'm rambling. (Again? Bah! Humbug! Why, back in my day... oh, erm, yes...) Anyways, good comic. I eagerly await another installment.

Your regularly scheduled (Read: Whenever I feel like updating) comic will return soon. The comic is done, but one of the panels needs a bit of artistic vision work, so it'll be a bit. Thanks for waiting.

The "joke"(If you can call it that) in this comic stems from me getting back into Bauldur's Gate and Icewind Dale. I try to interact with the NPCs as little as I can because they are so freaking chatty.

2008-03-14, 05:50 PM
Just a few pointers, 1) This is really good, and keep it/them coming, 2)Drizzt doesn't have an apostrophe, 3) um.. [Generic Friendly Good Comic Continue to Update, comment]

So, yeah, that's it. I think.
