Familiar Ground

It’s a new month here at Familiar Ground.  Time to go over some news about the strip.
*  I’ll be attending at least two conventions:  Pacificon in Santa Clara, the first week of September, and APE in San Francisco, the first week of October.  I won’t have stuff to sell yet, so I’ll be attending mostly [...]

I’ll be at a gaming convention this weekend.

I’ll be running the WotC 4e MM2 delve all day Saturday.  Come on over and play.  Pregen 5th level characters are provided or you can bring your own.  I’m not sure exactly where it is, but more info should be available [...]

So WotC is coming out with Arcane Powers, a new supplement for the game detailing various things of importance to Wizards, Swordmages, Bards and other classes using the Arcane power source.
One of the things that will be described in detail are the rules surrounding Familiars.
How does this impact the story?  Well, it won’t…much.  [...]

Someone asked me how long I’ve been drawing, and the answer is a tad embarassing. 
I’ve only been drawing for perhaps 5 months or so.  Prior to that, I wasn’t even sketching or doodling for fun.  The last art class I took was probably in 7th grade.
So drawing this strip involved learning a whole new skill set for [...]

fix the header (the logo is off by 1 or 2 pixels from the ad)
figure out how to remove hovertext from the drop-down menu
create a better logo [...]

As usual, I failed to read the instruction manual whenever I try something new.
“Step 1: before drawing or inking, make sure that you properly stretch your paper or use heavy paper that can withstand warping due to the absorption of water.”
Oops. 
I haven’t actually started water coloring yet on the piece I drew.  I’m gonna try [...]

Hey guys.  I’ve only told around a dozen people about the site so far (as far as I know). 
The reason for that is that I’m still fiddling with the actual website layout, as well as trying to build an archive of strips so people won’t get turned off by a mostly empty site.  The schedule for [...]

Hmm…something’s wonky with photoshop today.  This pic will have to do for now until I can fix it.  Oh well.  That’s what this first month is for, to get all the kinks out.

Welcome!  It is the first Monday of March and the inaugural first strip.

The current plan is to have the strip update 5 days a week for [...]
