First!

News: February 21st, 2008

Well, first post, anyway. Bear with me here – I’m still setting things up and trying to focus on the backend before I make the comic site look pretty. You could always go play a game while you wait…

End of the dry spell?

News: February 23rd, 2008

Today’s comic is the first new one I’ve made since October of last year. It’s also the first comic I’ve made using GIMP rather than Photoshop.  I like GIMP a lot, but I’m still adjusting to the learning curve.  I expect to be better at it as time goes on.

Update Schedule Update

News: February 25th, 2008

I think I’m going to try to update the comic every Friday.  I have enough new material for maybe a month of four frame comics that way, which should give me enough time to make even more new ones before that buffer runs out. Let’s see how it goes.

Idea Submissions

News: March 14th, 2008

I’ve got more comics lined up in the cue, but I’m not afraid of accepting ideas from others.  If you have an idea for a great Fortune Favors comic, email me.  If I use it, I’ll be sure to give you credit.

Create your own comics with Bitstrips

News: March 20th, 2008

This will NOT be replacing my current “steal all my art from Blizzard” style, but it isn’t a bad idea. Of course they’re new, so their user interface isn’t the best. We’ll see where it goes from here.

It’s a common theme.

And yes, before anyone says something, I’m very much aware that the Fel Reaver gag in today’s strip has been done before, then again, and even again. I suppose you could even say it’s been (*snicker*) beaten into the ground. But as that gag is only 1/4 of my creation, I consider it to be [...]

Another Bitstrip

News: March 25th, 2008

True story. I think I like playing with Bitstrips. But then, I’m very tired right now.  Good night.

Paladins are the best class…

News: March 28th, 2008

… for me. When I started playing WoW I found I had an affinity for the healing classes.  Sure, it’s fun to be on top of the damage meter, but being party healbot has its own challenges that I enjoy more. Unfortunately, priests tend to be squishy. Combine that with their tendency to generate massive [...]

Fire breathing kobolds?

News: March 30th, 2008

Mike Mearls is an enterprising individual came up with a chart that answers a question as profound as “What is the sound of one hand clapping?” and “If a tree falls on a mime, does anyone care?” His question? “What would kobolds do if they (*gasp*) actually defeated a player?” My thanks to the Arcane [...]

Delay

News: April 3rd, 2008

Tomorrow’s comic will be posted later in the afternoon.  The script is done but I haven’t even managed to PLAY WoW in the past 2 days, so it’s going to be a while before I get the images that I need. Y’see, there’s this thing called “real life”…
