Felicia Day
So I was inspired by this next 3 comics by the fact that a few weeks ago when I showed up to my Saturday D&D game, I got a tweet on my phone and it was Felicia Day posting that she was going to her 4e D&D game, she plays a wizard.
I was amazed that she was playing 4e D&D at the same time that I was playing D&D. And I was envious because my group has 2 modules left of our 3.5 campaign before we fully switch over to 4e. Gah!
So anyways, this comic was started by it. But who is Felicia Day? What?!? Some of you don't know? Ok, we can give OldGrump an out, he's old, and grumpy, probably because he doesn't know who Felicia Day is, but the fact that he caught my math chicken reference last Friday gives him an out. For the rest of you, here is your introduction.
Felicia Day is the female lead in
Dr Horrible's Sing-A-Long blog, she also was in
Legend of Neil, and in Buffy Season 7, and of course
The Guild. She also wrote or cowrote a lot of that stuff, and most importantly for our purposes, plays D&D. ;)
Ah, creating a real person in the dndorks style. Its not easy! Jason spent several days trying to figure out how to draw her, so part 1 ended up going live today instead of Monday, and last night I spent extensive amounts of time trying to decide what colors to use for her. I had to pour through her website grabbing pics for color matching, at one point I had 3 screens with some twenty photos of her up. It was hard work, let me tell you!
As I often do, the reward is in the final comic of this, but I think todays comic is good, hope you enjoy, and the dragon will face its doom, or our players, soon.
New 4e Game
So my current 4e play-by-post game (which you can read
here) is going well, so well that I've decided to run a 2nd one to give more players a chance to play. If you'd like to try 4e play by post, maybe you miss playing D&D, or maybe you want to try this new fangled 4e without a heavy commitment, check out my starting post
here, its set in Eberron and should be a lot of fun.
