Current I'm tempted to say "I've lost better friends than you" to a lote of people lately. I'm not sure what I ever want to say to the better friends that I've lost, though.

Bio

Twelve years ago, I said something on this website that continues to embarrassing me to this day. I was a stupid kid, like most, but I've never quite gotten the taste out of my mouth. Anyone who knew me at the time can tell you about it.

I love this website. I'm pretty sure my phylactery is stored wherever the webserver is and a significant chunk of me will just disappear when it ceases operation. Until then, it comforts me. I should go to the hardware store and paint my bedroom walls with the same soft, brownish grey that the background color has been for the last twelve years. Some of my friends can't wait for the site to go offline but I don't know of any other places that offer the same sense of community.

I'm an omni-gamer. I like board games, tabletop roleplaying games, admire tabletop war games, suck at riddles, and have an absurd library of video games. Survival horror is basically my favorite genre. Otherwise I'm a fan of esoteric, occult bullshit and punk rock. But disco's cool. Disco is what humanity sounds like when it chooses to be happy. Between you and I, I'd like to hope that the days of my life can sparkle like a disco ball, accreting like sparks from a grinder held up against the unwavering dark of deaths own shadow. Burn baby burn.

You and I, we're gonna die. We should be friends first, though. Write some checks we can't cash and make eachother smile. Make believe for a while.

At this point, screw "the industry." Marvel's too busy hiring YA novel authors, Image has become "Here's my failed pitch for a screenplay that I'm passing off as a comic" the company, and DC decided to squander all their goodwill by hiring Brian Michael "Let's take Mary Jane away from Spider-Man and put her in Iron Man's book where she'll do absolutely nothing for three years" Bendis on Superman. If there's any hope at all for American comic books as a medium, it's going to be from independent creators sidestepping the big publishing houses and finding other ways to get their works to the public.


I've been saying my dream job is to write comic books for a living for years, but I've yet to actually produce a single comic book (since I was nine years old) due to insecurities and resistance. But I decided about a month and a half ago that I was going to make an earnest effort to get at least one issue of a six issue limited series published within a year so that I can actually make some headway on that dream. Progress is subpart, but progress has been made and I'm proud of that.
I fear I'm too derivative


That didn't stop Rob Liefeld from derailing a generation of X-Men plots inspiring a generation of artists and influencers.

If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times: we need to take our RP ideas, file the serial numbers off of them, and start making our own comics.


If I'm honest with myself, I'm pretty sure we all have the technical skill to piss out some sick indie comics. It really is tragic that we all haven't. Or at least I haven't. Have any of you guys actually published anything?
This is my first post in 6 months. Hellos again, to those of you who I know.

Edit: I feel role-playing electricity in the air tonight.
I think we do this every single time we get excited. It may be best to not repeat history here and divert our attention in five different directions.

Though I do have that Gotham City sandbox game I’m working on…


Yeah. It's freaky. I've known you guys in this capacity for five years now and this is perfectly consistent. What we really need to do is start a Patreon so we can quit our jobs and role-play all the time (living in poverty because the Big Two's lawyers would "catch [copyright-infringers] just like flies".

I always feel like the new guy when it comes to this group, I swear.


I agree. I think I was playing for about five minutes longer than you.
Hmm....


EDIT: Here lies the memory of a GIF I couldn't get to work.
By the way, who is @Retired?
