ANNOUNCEMENT: Oblique Adventures is Live!

 

Candi and I are very excited to announce the launch of our new startup enterprise: Oblique Adventures!

We're creating adventures, homebrew creatures, and all sorts of other resources table-top roleplayers everywhere. Our focus thus far has been to come up with products compatible with Dungeons & Dragons Fifth Edition (5e), but we are confident that much of what we offer will be easy to translate into other game systems. 

The very first offering we've got for you is a free gift to celebrate our official launch:

"The Bugblatter Beast" draws from the fantastical mythology of the late, great Douglas Adams and his Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series. In this scenario, your adventurers will come face-to-face with the cosmic menace known as the ravenous Bugblatter Beast. Even powerful heroes will find this horrendous creature difficult to overcome in a straight fight... but don't panic! The adventure provides many options (all inspired by Hitchhiker lore) for using the Bugblatter's phenomenal stupidity to give you a fighting chance.

Included in this adventure are stats for new items such as the Babel Fish, the +1 Towel of Hitchhiking, and the Wand of M'arvin. You'll also find a new feat called the Knack of Flying.

We've got a lot of plans, hopes, and dreams for Oblique Adventures. And you'll find a link to the Oblique Patreon page on our site. Oblique Adventures is how we hope to keep the lights on. If you're a long-time fan of Thunderstruck and want to support the comic, this is the best way to do it.

Comic 816 -- Not a Messiah

 This is huge?


Not a long installment, but the implications of what Gail and Sharon are talking about are pretty important in the overall scheme of things.

Been very busy this month with Oblique Adventures. We've got a few technicalities to hammer out, but I'm confident we can show you something cool soon.
