King of RPGs

[ptolemy18]

Hey everybody,

Hopefully this isn't inappropriate for this forum, but I just wanted to announce the upcoming launch of my gaming graphic novel... King of RPGs!

King of RPGs is the epic (240+ page) graphic novel adventure of a young boy's quest to become.... THE GREATEST DUNGEON MASTER IN THE WORLD! -_- It's a fiery, hot-blooded mashup of oldschool tabletop dungeon crawling, manga and anime, and indy comics.

Please check it out, I hope you like it. I'm putting pages online Monday through Thursday for the next month or so!

King of RPGs

Jason Thompson (and Victor Hao)

"Brilliant . . . King of RPGs will ring true to anyone who knows their Wood Elves from their Drow.”"
--– Mark Barrowcliffe, Author, The Elfish Gene

“"A fun-loving romp through gaming and geek culture, from CCGs to cosplay, with plenty of old-school roleplaying. It’s nice to see gaming get a manga treatment, with over-the-top heroes, dweebs, and villains.”"
--– Jonathan Tweet, Lead Designer, Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition

"“Really awesome. Funny and maniacal — nerd rage with a sentimental streak. Reminds me a lot of Evan Dorkin’s Eltingville Fan Club series, but updated for a new generation.”"
– Annalee Newitz, io9.com

How hot-blooded is your book? A little, a lot, or A WHOLE FREAKIN' LOT?!?

Wow... that actually looks pretty good.

Most of the game-related comics popping up are usually quite lazy.

Nice work!

Ok. I'll buy it.

A friend of mine had an advance copy, so I've actually read quite a bit of this. It's a lot of fun!

Not only does this look really fun and combine two of my favorite genres, the art looks pretty amazing. I laughed at all the little "+X" marks on each of the online character's clothes/weapons on pg. 26, bloody brilliant. Definitely picking up a copy when this goes on sale.

Good to know there are other gamer/manga-fan hybrids out there

It is hot-blooded to the point of 30 ongoing fire damage!!! ^^

Thanks for the comments! The book is a ton of fun to write -- I've already finished the script for the 2nd volume, and I'm plotting new stuff as I type this.

Seein' as this drops off the first page of the general section pretty quickly, I'd suggest you repost this over at the Media Lounge. While your comic/manga doesn't easily fit into a category, graphic novels like the Watchmen and such have been discussed in that section, so it may get more attention.

Good luck and keep up the great work!

Such little details are always a very good thing, yeah.

Bye
