Topic: Spell Swap Shop
Subject: well
Back in the day, if someone wanted to play a caster in my games, they had to create a new spell. It served two purposes - first, it showed me if they had the creativity needed to be a caster, and second, it gave me instant homebrew material for my campaign world.
I'll see if I can dig some up for ya.

Subject: change is life
I hate to see change, as well - I appreciate all Tiana has done, and have really enjoyed her art. However, Loaded Dice has yet to generate one cent of revenue, and that isn't likely to change anytime soon. she's picked up more paying projects, and simply does not have the time right now. I wish her the best of luck.
I *think* that I have a new artist lined up. We're ironing out details now, but I am quite excited.

Topic: Comic uncertainty
Subject: update
Tiana has elected to discontinue her relationship with Loaded Dice. I wish her all the best in her continued pursuits.
In the meantime, I am speaking with a couple of other artists as potential replacements. Hopefully, we'll have someone locked up soon for the position.

Subject: Comic uncertainty
As you probably know, my life has been in chaos, which has badly hurt Loaded Dice.
I am ready to start publishing the strip again, but it appears that Tiana may have committed herself to enough other projects to make the comic unfeasible for her at this time.
She's asked me to give her a bit of time to figure things out, which I gladly will do, but I am getting the feeling that I will probably have to find a new artist (something that I do NOT want to do).
Just thought I'd let you all know that, once way or another, Loaded Dice WILL be back.

I hate to step away, but I haven't been giving the site the attention it deserves. Alacrity has always been there, and has kept things running through thick and thin.
Once he gets over this power madness, things will level out, and the Inn will grow in a new, prosperous direction.
POWER MADNESS! I'd ban you but I still need the codes. Alacrity

I'll try Chrome. I really should install it, anyway - for testing, if nothing else.
Why had I not thought of Craigslist?

What broswer/OS are you using, Almerin? I've tested in IE and FF, on XP and on Win7. You're saying that when you mouse over the numbers, they disappear?

You know, I think that I should start a "Spam" forum so that members of the site (maybe set a minimum post threshhold) can share their side projects and interesting links with the rest of the Inn - and those that don't want to click on said links can simply avoid the area entirely. Our policy has always been to quell mass link posting, but the reason was to prevent bona fide spammers - I personally enjoy seeing the various things that our membership is involved in.
Yep, that is my segueway into some spam of my own.
As some of you know, my wife has been quite interested in photography for a long time, and has even had a couple of small paying shoots. Well, we've finally started a website for her. Check it out here: Catching Life's Moments Photography.
Understand, I'm just wanting you guys to see the site; I don't think this is a very effective spot to advertise a local photographer.
Anyway, let me know what you think.

Subject: where did the webmaster go?
Hello all.
Sorry for my disappearance. I'm not quite ready to rejoin daily activity here, but I wanted to let you all know where I have been, and why.
As many of you know, I took my family to Walt Disney World at the end of January. It was a big, long-anticipated trip - eleven days, ten nights of magic in store for us.
Life has a funny way of twisting things around on you.
I got crazy busy the last few days before the trip, ended up staying up very late the night before we were to leave, and delaying my trip several hours that day, trying to help tie up some loose ends at my day job. We finally got underway, ready for that magical trip!
The first couple of days went fine. On day three, we were enjoying extra magic hours at Disney's Hollywood Studios, waiting for our turn on the new Toy Story Midway Mania, when we got a call from my mother in law's number. A friend of the family was on the phone, wanting to speak to me, refusing to speak to my wife.
Donna's twenty-eight year old brother had died. No cause, no explanation - he simply went to bed and did not wake up.
We looked very seriously at our options, but Donna's family begged us to not come home - there was nothing we could do, the trip was for the kids (Caleb's twelfth birthday was to be celebrated there), etc. So we stayed. I'm still not sure it was the right call.
The rest of the trip was understandably dampened - Donna crying a LOT, spending lots of time on the phone with family, trying to figure out what happened, what to do, etc.
Towards the end of our trip, I got a call from work, needing me to do something for them (VERY unusual). I paid the $10 for internet access, ran the report they needed.
So, we came home, and it was like being hit with the news all over again. Then, it decided to pour, rather than just rain.
My work denied my request for two days bereavement leave, and insisted I come in. They met with me and placed me on administrative leave. A little over a week later, they fired me.
I have now been out of work for four weeks. I have been working very long hours doing contract work, and have been living in a pretty depressing environment overall. Sorry, folks, I'm just not feeling the creative juices right now.
Things are looking up - I have an interview in two weeks for a position I am very well qualified for. I have done well enough on the contract work to survive.
I hope to be back very soon.

Subject: time of year
Thsi site is always cyclical - things go in hot and cold cycles.
That being said, we just finsihed the slowest period of the year for internet traffic. this week was slow for me personally because the post holiday crunch has begun - things that were put aside for the holidays are now due.
We'll pick up soon, we usually do.

Check us out, two normal strips this week, right on schedule! The latest, of course, being's today's update: #43, of Plans and Bait.
As always, please feel free to share your comments and criticisms. I have one comment - I think that Tiana has really started to nail some fo the more subtle expressions... I love the look on Tim's face in panel nine.
Also, please reddit the comic. Comments are great, but please click the up arrow at the top left, near the title of the comic. This is always a huge way to expose the comic to new readers - we can easily get five hundred visits from reddit alone!

Holidays have kicked my butt. I keep resolving to get a post up and the game bumped, but have not done so as of yet.

Nah, just factual. Reddit is a troll hive, but a good day there nets new readers...
Heh, I really loved the guy a while back that slammed me for my "deus ex machina" of letting Ladan turn the undead.
In a D&D comic.
Yeah.

We now return to our regular plotline! Strip #42 is up and live. As always, please share your comments and criticisms here.
We are moving to a Tuesday/Friday update schedule. Also note a slightly smaller text size - done in an effort to stop my horrible speech bubbles from hiding so much of the awesome comic art.
If you enjoy Loaded Dice, please reddit this comic. We'd love a comment, but please be sure to click the up arrow at the top left of the page, near the comic title. Thanks for helping us introduce the comic to new readers!
