In a JIF
FULL-DISCLOSURE: I seem to have come down with a stomach bug so my post today will be a bit abbreviated.
This comic came to mind a little while back (in the midst of the recent Pop’s story arc). In case you hadn’t heard, the D&D Next hotline is a legit thing to help out playtesters get their heads around the new rule set. Additionally, I’ve wanted to feature Robert J Schwalb and Greg Bilsland in a comic for a while and this is just one of those times when it worked out. I have a list actually.
As for the group’s foray Beyond the Barrier Peaks, we’ll see more of that later on. I am trying out the idea of sessions carrying over (as they tend to do in real life) through a few arcs.
COMMENTERS: Who would you like to see appear in the comic and/or which creators would you like to see possibly step into the guest driver’s seat (as I plan for GenCon vacation).
This? This is the best thing ever.
I would love to see you work with the Snow By Night team, and PvP of course. As for designers, Steve Townshend has to be fun to draw with that awesome hair and his outgoing personality. The scene of him hugging an uncomfortable Dave Christ of Baldman Games at D&DXP was pretty awesome.
And yeah, this was awesome. Just fantastic. Rob looks so much like Rob and Greg… I know Robles is smiling at this.
I would love to see Cthulu make a guest appearance in the comic.
If Cthulu makes an appearance, than…
Guest-Artist: Vitali Alexius from Romantically apocallyptic… he has a kinda weird progress on a plot and I think this would be some cheesy stuff. XD
I would love to see the guiding spirit of Gygax in a sort of Obi Wan style of advising Sam as a DM.
More comics with Rob Schwalb please, perhaps as an evil overlord or maybe just choking out some booger eating neckbeards. You know, those things he fantasizes about but can never actually do in real life. Do it for the kids Brian.
PS: Don’t ask rob what he actually fantasizes about, it probably had something to do with hobo’s.
Replying to Alphastream:
The Townshend will hug anyone. Anything! No body or object is safe from The Townshend’s arms of entanglement. Tables, chairs, sharp objects, and women shorter than 5’3″ may hold The Townshend at bay, but sooner or later The Townshend finds a way. No one is safe. No one is secure lest they be secured within The Townshend’s grasping arms. 5 million customers cannot be wrong.
“Uh… I’m just not a hugger.”

Hey, I could’ve replied to Alphastream with the REPLY button!
The internet is coooool!
Haha, excellent comic as usual, and of course I _love_ the Tiger Beat reference. For those interested… http://www.theweem.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/gbtigerbeat.jpg
Love the mouseover text and the “All Greg Issue” magazine! Nice touches
Now how am I ever supposed to work with this guy again?
