The New GM
Chapter: Season Six
Jeanie takes the screen and we begin a new Karthun arc! Next week we will take a look at the new characters in the group. It should be good times. I hope you enjoy what it to come.
Good news: I have my new computer, it is all set up, and it is AMAZING. I am so happy, guys. I can work and it works as fast as I want to work. I am grateful and excited to roll into many more year of new art with this computer.
More Good News: The d20Monkey Store Holiday Super Mega Extravaganza begins on Monday! Ornaments, guys. ORNAMENTS!
HOVER-TEXT: I spent a lot of time on Jeanie’s GM screen and yes, that is Chastity Valor.
Will the new DM screen be available in the shop next week?
Time well spent. That’s a damn cool-looking screen.
…Chastity Valor is a Sith? With the glowing orange eyes, and all?
I am not sure how but the button for the last comic is not working. I got here by clicking on the last button on one of the earlier comics.
GO, Jeanie, GO
I giggled like hell at the Twitter typo when discussing the holiday merch: “Brett and Krapmus”. Totally got visions of a foul and dark spirit of anti-Christmas, the miserable Krapmus.
I cackled once I noticed it and decided to just leave it. KRAPMUS.
Wow. It took me like 3 reads to see that typo. LOL Krapmus. Super excited to get the ornaments and to see Jeanie behind the screen.
Happy to hear the new compy is working out for you, and very happy for a new Karthun arc. Mr. Ziggs, can I get an appropriate sound bite, please?
“This’ll be a blast.”
Thank you, Mr. Ziggs.
Forgot to include this as part of the first one: what’s Jeanie drinking? I can make out a warhammer and a ribbon, but not much else.
Congrats on the new rig!
Wait, what are the bits hanging off the DM screen with the players’ names? Is this some player management tip I haven’t run across?
My groups do this all the time. We usually use the PC names instead of player names, then when everyone rolls initiative the GM sorts them, and sticks tags up for the monsters as well. Great visual cue to remind everyone who’s up next.
Yeah! Its a way to track player/encounter initiative order. Nice visual reminder and it keeps people on point.
I was going to ask this as well — always nice to be correct!
We use these and rearrange them to track initiative.
What are those notes on the DM screen for?
Ive never seen them used by anyone.
Love the colors and layout in this strip.
Yep! – Charlie
Yeah – Sam
Yeah, Girl! – Trevor
Y-yes ma’am – Carlos
Sho’nuff – Brett
No particular reason. Just felt like distinguishing those.
Was just about to do exactly this.
Gotta love new hardware. Woot! Congrats Mang!
So does this means Jeanie will be updated in the Meet the Cast section?
It does indeed. I have her on my work schedule!
Aww yea, here we go its time to meet the new cast of characters.
Brian, the link for the ornament on the front page only opens a new tab with just the banner. Didn’t know if it was supposed to link to the store page, but thought I would give you a heads up.
