"Or! They could be lulling us into a false sense of security. Letting us go first so we take care of all the traps and puzzles for them."

Truman sighs, reaches into the backpack on the floor beside him, and pulls out a crowbar.

"Make this quick, I want everyone on top of their game once the job starts."

He places the crowbar on the wooden box and goes back to watching for patrols.

He mumbles to himself, "At least, I think it'll have traps and puzzles."

Q-BIT
•   Who is the team’s regular job broker/fence/informer?

•   Benjamin Braddock, a pudgy, jolly old man with a colorful sense of humor. Dressed in ratty clothes, he drifts from place to place. Benjamin has eyes and ears all over the city in the form of Void's homeless population. He acts fatherly toward Truman, who does little to acknowledge the gesture. Try not to take him lightly, though, as some say he's a retired member of this region's underground (literally) freedom fighters.

•   Who was the last person to die due to your actions/inactions? Do you regret it?

•   The truth of this is far too personal for Truman to share publicly.

I'll bite. Good research for my own play-by-post, after all. Looking at Rogue and Warlock. Is that Artificer class out yet, too?

Been a while since I've had one of these. (I think the old one got deleted?)



Laplace is the name of a cult leader with the power to see past, present, and future in equal clarity, and to share these visions with others. His visions have shown him a cataclysmic world war in the future that he seeks to prevent. But, don't mistake Laplace for a hero, no. By his logic, any murder, manipulation, or other misdeeds he commits are acts of heroism, solely because he's the one doing it. He's 'above morality' as he says it. The cult, tentatively called the Horologii, are mostly downtrodden, desperate individuals, shown the future by Laplace. They are loyal to a fault, though most aren't capable of anything extraordinary.

I'm still working on his design, so any criticism there is appreciated.



Page 1 of ?, planning to add narration of Laplace explaining about the war he foresees, poetically, of course. More pages soon!

She looks like she's going to be a fun character. That said, I'm having a little trouble telling what it is you want the core conflict for this character to be. Unless you're going full Kishōtenketsu with this, conflict is a nice thing to have. Nice job, hobbies, gets along well with others, all good traits, but I want to know what hardships this girl is dealing with, even if it's just little things. You mention she'll fight and hold grudges, but you make it seem like a last resort. Which is fine, but it makes me confused, do you want her to get into fights, or stay away from them?

I like him! I'm interested in his bio, but if you'd rather keep it simple and let your comics speak for themselves, that works too. Just keep in mind, your opponents might have trouble keeping him in character.

If you're satisfied with that intro, you could probably submit soon. Personally, I'd take the extra time to clean up some of the colors bleeding out of their panels, add some detail on that photo Teo's got, work on making the word balloons a little clearer, maybe grab another font like JayKat suggests. I'd also make sure to get keep the punctuation and such consistent, as is you've got some sentences with periods, some without. You wanna write your comics like an English professor's going to be grading them, it goes a long way for how polished they look. But otherwise, I like what you've got so far.

Every D&D group I join dissolves after a few months, so hopefully not this one! I have the most experience with 5e, and I have the handbooks for it, so that's a start. If my schedule permits, I might be interested in trying out DMing, too. (No clue if I'd be any good at it, though.)

Just found out I'm not going to be home from July 7th to the 10th so any battles are really gonna have to wait 'till after that.  Hopefully I'll be able to find a match with everyone all paired up by then. I guess if I gotta wait, I gotta wait.

Round one is over! Time to draw something dumb.



Sorry, Ji-ho is way too fun to draw.

Post what you drew anyways! Even if it's unfinished, it shows you gave it an honest effort. No point in defaulting if you have something.

Ahhh, you colored it! Thank you Orion!

Thank you! The moped actually took me a few tries. First pass I accidentally connected it so the front wheel would've been unable to turn. I eventually figured it out though!
