Back on topic...
Nice to see less dodging is necessary. I've seen nine and ten member at a time much more regularly, now.
Woot!

Subject: heh
So very gratifying to see that people are enjoying the comic!
I'm glad that you liked the newest version, but honestly, I cannot claim "genius" or any such title. this particular strip basically catalogs a real conversation that happened during a session I was DMing.
Of course, variants of the same conversation often happen during my games - which is why this strip was made.

Guest week? We've only been up a little over a week, and you already want guest strips? 
Don't worry, that day will come.
Glad you are enjoying it.
Ni!

Check it out - my script ran correctly! I did not manually post this thread... the site did it FOR me! ooOOOoooOOOO!!!
Hehe, glad you like it, Al. Sure, script ideas are always welcomed. Best way is to just email them to me. Format isn't a huge deal - as you may have noticed, the number of panels per strip is variable. Typically, the gag should probably take at least four panels, but if it's a one-off type joke, it could be almost anything... there are bound to be days where we will be happy to just have something to post.

Subject: a classifieds area?
Not at all a bad idea. I may look into adding this.
Update: I have removed the old, slow Digg boxes and in their place added a small collection of icons to allow yuo to quickly submit a page from the Inn to one of the content sharing sites out there (digg, delicious, reddit, etc). It wasn't worth the slow page load to see how many (few!) Diggs a page had.
If you use any of these services, please consider submitting Inn content to them!

If you like the comic, Clicking on the "Digg" box is a nice way to help. Of course, you have to be a Digg member (free) to do that.
Other alternatives? Send a link to others who might enjoy it. Post links to the comic in places where such posts are allowed (please do not spam).
And so forth.

Subject: more coming!
The artist has informed me that #13 is almost ready. Also, I have fixed my script, so it shoudl automatically post a new thread here anytime a new strip is up.
It goes without saying that any and all word of mouth advertising that you might like to do would be greatly appreciated.

So far, so good! 500ish views on the comic as of right now.
Not too shabby for a brand new creation!

True, only one strip. In my opinion, they get better as they go.
There are eleven more completed and ready right now, which will take us through the next five and a half weeks. Obciously, the plan is to keep doing them BEFORE the are due.
We shall see.

Topic: completely off topic
Subject: update
I have now set up a routine that, at the end of the draft, has the system go and create lineups for each level or your organization (for both righty and lefty pitchers).
Basically, the system tries to decide who the best overall player on your roster is for each position, accounting for whether the lineup is against a righty or lefty pitcher. Now that it has filled the positions, it then uses tried and true baseball wisdom to set the lineup (fast, contact hitter in the leadoff role, best hitter on the team bats third, best pure power guy bats fourth, etc).
While you are certainly free to edit these as you wish, it should be nice to have some sort of default to fall back on.

Well handled. If you have a problem with someone, discuss it via PM. If it's game related, get your GM involved. A general rant is not the snwer.

Great to see the nice feedback so far. I think that most gamers will know others that can be compared to characters in the strips.
I'm not 100% happy with the first few strips, as I was a little heavy-handed on the narration, but I'm new to comics, and was trying to figure out how to quickly get the audience to "know" the characters. Luckily, the art is so good that you might overlook some of that.
Anyway, keep your eyes out for new episodes. For now, they shoul dbe up every Monday and Thursday, like clockwork.

I agree @ the archives comment, Vanadia - I'm the same way. Unfortunately, it's not very practical for me to save up a a couple dozen strips.
Sigh, thanks for catching my typo.

Ladies and gentlemen, the Red Dragon Inn proudly presents the inaugral strip of our brand new webcomic, Loaded Dice.
The current target schedule is Mondays and Thursdays. I have set up this forum category on the off chance that there might be discussions about the comic. Also, the site will (should?) make a thread here in my name whenever a new strip is released.
Enjoy! Please feel free to share your thoughts, comments, and criticisms.

Topic: Faulty Xbox (again)
Subject: huh?
Now, I don't doubt for a moment your claim that the xbox is made shoddily, to match the lifespan of the warranty. This is a pretty typical business model these days.
Unfortunately, you lose your creditbility and sound like a console fanboy when you then proceed to tell us that the ps3 is much better built, that it will last ten years to the xbox's two to three.
Last time I checked, the ps3 didn't launch until November of 2006. Ergo, the oldest ps3 in North America is less than three years old. Ergo, your claim has absolutely zero data to back it. 
Edit: and this is spoken as someone who's "new" xbox just died with a two red light error. At least the warranty is still good.
