Chatty’s Out of the Box #007: Itsy Bitsy and Horny

May 2, 2008 by The Chatty DM

As it been a month already since I posted a Comic? Good thing I never promised to deliver this on a schedule. Here it is. As usual, click on the comic to see it full size. This time I had 2 concepts in mind: start introducing the 4e miniatures to my collection Have fun with […]

Chatty’s Out of the Box #006: Gummy Dragons

March 30, 2008 by The Chatty DM

Here’s another comic with some new characters, once again done with the creative support of my good friend PM. It was about time that I put my gargantuan and Colossal dragons to use, it’s not like I ever needed them in my actual games. I owe the original idea of this comic to Scotticus, thanks […]

Chatty’s Out of the Box #005: Right Said Slaad!

March 19, 2008 by The Chatty DM

Here’s a new comic with my favorite Green Spawn of Chaos! As usual, click thumbnail. This time I’ve officially teamed up with PM who contributed to the writing and the Photoshoping. He deserves his share of the credit and here it is. I think we’re on to something here and we already have brainstormed a […]

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

March 7, 2008 by The Chatty DM

Here’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 […]

Chatty’s Out of the Box #003: Lean and Green!

February 29, 2008 by The Chatty DM

Here’s another comic! This time with some Quality Control by my good friend PM. I decided to leave our Plastic Pirate to his interview and explore new characters. The Green Slaad is too ridiculous a figurine not to make him part of the comic. This joke came to me this morning and it needed to […]

Chatty’s Out of the Box #002 : Linear Thinking.

February 24, 2008 by The Chatty DM

Here’s another stab at this Webcomic thing. Click on image to see full comic (and click again if it can be zoomed further). I had a thousand ideas for the second one all to be crammed in 6 panels. Then I realized that pacing can be different in a comic and that my many gags […]

Chatty's Out of the Box #001 : Discriminating Taste!

February 10, 2008 by The Chatty DM

I should have spent the evening writing my DM log, I know, but the Webcomic bug came back and bit me hard. So I got myself a rightfully owned copy of Comic Book Creator 2 and I started experimenting a bit more. (Once more with Graham’s technical expertise and critical eye). Since my blog was […]

Chatty's Out of the Box #000.1

January 25, 2008 by The Chatty DM

I’m currently fooling around with the idea of creating a Photo webcomic… not seriously, I have no time for that… but the idea is slowly eating whatever’s left of my brain. So I downloaded the Comic Book Creator demo and started playing with it. Here’s what I came up with… I had to go through […]
