Adventure, HO!

[King of the Sandbox]

Now, I'm not quite sure where to put this, but on an old board I used to frequent, there was a large percentage of tabletop D&D players. And for them, being a D&D'er myself with a modicum of MSPaint talent, I made a comic. Since I've seen quite a few players here in the 'Scapist, I figured I'd share them with you.

I have over 50 issues currently backlogged, and if I get enough interest, I will put up more, continuing to make more if we finish the run and people still clamor for it.

Bear in mind, the early issues are my first attempts at a comic, and you can see my progression as we move on. I actually encourage feedback, however, and have pretty thick skin, so say what you feel.

Also, if this isn't the place for this, I beg the mod's mercy and ask them to correct me in anyway necessary.

Anyways, that said, let's begin with the first 10 issue run of... Adventure, HO!

I read about half way through and kinda just let out a meh, cliched jokes are cliched and all that jazz :/

(Don't kill me)

 

[Pegghead]

Meh, it was alright. This is pretty much self-promotion you do realize.

 

[SL33TBL1ND]

It was alright actually, me being a big AD&D player and all.

I get better, I promise. This was a first attempt, after all. But thanks for the critique, regardless. No killing necessary. ^_^

I was worried about it being perceived as that, but I'm not trying to get interweb famous or make any money or even direct attention to a website I don't have. It was more of a 'critique this' kind of thing.

Though like I said in my OP, I'm sorry if this is frowned upon and encourage mods to do whatever they feel is necessary. No hard feelings, of course.

Thanks. ^_^ You're kind of the target audience here, with a lot of in-jokes, so I'm glad to see someone who plays D&D likes it.

I know. This was back when my typing reflected how people spoke more than adhering to proper grammar and spelling (plus, you can't spell check MSPaint, heh). Like I said, these were my first foray into comic-making. And the creativity goes through the roof after they get into the caves proper.

But thanks for the critique! ^_^

Hmm... When I think of this more, I am actually confused. In issue 4 you more or less define the girl to be the ho, so is the title of the series about the girl? "Adventure ho" vs. "Adventure, ho" *giggles like a little girl behind his hands*

 

[King of the Sandbox]

Oh, no, no, no. That was just a joke on the colloquial speech of a pimp. That issue was actually a shout out to a friend from the forums I mentioned. He called all females hoes. In fact, 'hoe' was pretty much a descriptor for anything for that guy, as he fashioned himself as the American PIMP.

I'm afraid the title here is pretty basic. 'Adventure, HO!' refers to adventure ahead. ^_^

That was a very interesting read, having played D&D myself i can get some of the jokes you put in there and had a few chuckles. I say arrange your speech a bubbles to be a bit more symmetrical. Otherwise you have a fine comic here.

Much appreciated, good sir. ^_^

Yeah, I had issues with them early on (no pun intended), but I like to think I got better as I went on. I even changed the format of the strip for a while.

A xenophobic comic strip. Quite possibly the worst use of a Canadian stereotype.
You know, typically we laugh at them, but this didn't even make sense.
