Actually, I do have a CC license plug, but it's on the bottom of the page site since most of the stuff on the site (including the comic) are on a CC non-commercial license.

I've made some very simple print and play maps that others might be interested in. Feel free to download, save, change or distribute them as you see fit. Familiar Ground » D&D Downloads It's nothing fancy. Basically, it's just black and white maps with simple drawings that you can print out...

We've been pretty much told as much by some of the designers. They decided to err on the side of caution with the Wizard, so the at-wills reflect that. However, has anyone actually played a high level Wizard? I would venture to say that they're still one of the most powerful classes at...

Good point. WotC has had a lot of gaffes in the PR field, but they've also done a lot of innovation. Outstanding retail support for game stores. World wide organization of gamers at most conventions. Online initiative. Financially, is this really a boneheaded move? How many gamers actually...

Check my sig. A whole month of funny. Well, at least a whole month of "heh". Very few "meh", and I hope I've avoided any "eh" and "huh?".

Woah! That's a huge list. I know of a few of those, but it's going to take me some time to look over the rest. Thanks for the links.

Heh. I don't know why. Googling Looking for Group brings you the following description: " A fantasy MMORPG themed Webcomic by Ryan Sohmer and Lar deSouza. " That's from their sitemap that they submitted to google. I understand it's grown from more than that and now encompases everything...

The FAQ states: "21. I am using a weapon as an implement, like a long sword for a Wizard of the Spiral Tower or a staff implement held in two hands, do I gain the extra damage from feats like Weapon Focus? Yes, you do gain this bonus to damage." That statement can be seen to mean that you...

Then you will be using the improvised weapon line if the staff in question is used as a melee weapon then? Or does it suddenly transform into a quarterstaff when used in melee? Walking sticks can be carried in one hand, but nothing states that they are wielded as a weapon in only one hand. You...

Brian Moseley, the guy who runs the site, was caught off-guard as well. He lost access to his personal site and email. He's dealing with DNS issues and I think he's still trying to recover the .net address. He told me and a few others to spread the word around, but I guess I forgot to let...

Ah, I'm aware of both 8-bit theatre and LFG. I never really followed 8-bit theatre, but I know they got their black mage from the Final Fantasy genre. LFG is about World of Warcraft (not D&D). I don't really follow it which is strange considering I play both WoW and follow their other comic...

Strange as it may sound, but I do miss all the gamer-specific advertising from the old Dragon magazine. Sword vendors, people selling hand-crafted dice bags, etc. Announcements of upcoming cons or events of interest to gamers would also help in creating community. Another big feature of the...

I agree that many people assume this and accept this as fact. But I've looked at the rules and this isn't actually stated anywhere. Everyone's just assuming that a staff implement is wielded differently from a quarterstaff. Yes, a staff implement isn't necessarily a quarterstaff. It is...

Avoiding a cliche is good advice. But I'm not aware of your reference to Black Mage or Richards. Are they from a book or some webcomic?

You think that's mindblowing, answer me this. Do halfling staff wizards exist? A quarterstaff is medium sized, meaning that small creatures can't wield it. The Staff implement doesn't outright say that it's a quarterstaff, just that it can be treated as one when used as a melee weapon...

Good advice and one that I'm heeding (I hope). At least I don't know of any other fantasy gamer style comics similar to mine. Thanks.

Girl Genius is great! My only recommendation though is not to read it late at night. You'll be engrossed in reading and before you realize it, it's already 4am. Happened to me. It's really good.

By the way, did you notice that the strips had hovertext?

Thanks for the kind words. The process for my strip is here: Familiar Ground » The Comic Process Material used: Bristol Board 5.5" x 14", 100lb stock, acid free Prismacolor non-photo blue pencil for the initial sketch Micron archival ink pen for lettering Faber Castel brush pen and ink pens...

I'm playing an Avenger in the RPGA living forgotten realms campaign (Int/retribution). Currently 6th level. Using a +2 Vicious Fullblade to take advantage of the crit (roll twice means that you are just under twice the crit rate). If I really wanted to take advantage of this, I would go with...
