Chatty’s Out of the Box #004: Memories…

March 7, 2008 by The Chatty DM

chattys-out-of-the-box-_4-001.JPGHere’s my Webcomic tribute to a great man. As usual, click on the thumbnail (and possibly once again on the picture) to get the sharpest image.

It’s funny how many memories one can keep of this game.

All stories you see in the comic truly happened and featured, my friends Nicolas (panel 1, gone to Sweden), JeeEff (panel 3 gone to Quebec City) and Math (panel 4, still around for more than 20 years). Thanks for the memories guys.

Also, note that all these monsters featured in the AD&D Monster Manual.

For the photo geeks out there, I use a Sony Cybershot 7.2 MegaPixel digital camera (it’s basically the family’s camera). PM made me discover the Macro photography setting on it so focusing is now easier. Also, until I get some descent lighting, I use the Camera’s low light, no flash ISO setting.

Have a nice weekend.

    Nick: That was a great character and thanks for buying me the 3.0 PHB! That was one wicked good gift!

    Scotticus: Thanks man, you’re officially dubbed the comic’s #1 fan!

    I don’t know which I am more excited over, that a comic I enjoy has fan(s) or that I’m #1!

    On a side note, I just watched Misery again the other day, so I guess since I’ll have to get out my sledge hammer and 4×4….

    Just kidding! (Or am I?)
