Just so you know, even though you might not be "writing a story" you're doing an excellent job of writing a character. :)

Honestly, my strengths in writing are in creating characters, dialogue writing, and jokes. My biggest weakness is narrative.


I should point out, every character in this comic other than Konsi is the creation of someone else. Razira is an NPC created by my DM, Faelys and Toron (As well as Sand and Mystery) are other players' PCs. To a large extent, their personalities and behaviour are are prescriptive for me. I can work to do them justice, and I have some wiggle room to alter them here and there to serve the format, but they're not my ideas.

The main reason Konsi features in these comics is that I'm a lot more comfortable making my own character do stupid stuff for laughs on the internet than I am with using the characters of the other players - so to that end, if I have a funny joke, Konsi will tend to be the comedic one, and the other characters are foils that enable her.

Having said that, many (not all) of these scenes are depictions of actual campaign events, that I found entertaining enough to reproduce.

(Yes, everyone in the campaign gave me permission to make comics of their characters.)
