At AwesomeCon a few weeks ago there were some very nice people who had some very nice things to say about The Legacy. There were also some very nice people who had some critiques for it, and were very nice about offering them. There weren’t many, but the few critiques said approximately the same things: … Continue reading “I’d Rather Fail For Being Too Weird”
As I sit down to write this blog I’ve just come off my weekly remote tabletop roleplaying game sessions with my friends and holy shit the dice were unkind to me tonight. None of my big value spells hit their targets, so bye-bye to those spell slots. My spells that didn’t require attack rolls gave … Continue reading “Those Nights The Dice Don’t Like You”
This weekend I turn 44 years old. The Legacy of Dominic Deegan will turn four years old on the same day. I launched The Legacy on my fortieth birthday. It was a milestone birthday so I figured it would be the perfect time to return to the comic that launched my two-decade career. Sharing its … Continue reading “The Legacy’s Fourth Anniversary”
A few months ago during a visit to my family they suggested that I consider doing a podcast. They had very nice things to say about my speaking voice and ability (and affinity) for telling stories. I considered what they had to say, and was even told again to consider it during a more recent … Continue reading “Why I Won’t Podcast”
There was no blog entry on Tuesday of this week because I got home from AwesomeCon too late the night before, and I was very tired from a long weekend of travel. And what an eventful weekend it was. It began with my train being delayed thirty minutes only an hour after it got going. … Continue reading “My Memorable Trip to AwesomeCon”
I have a love affair with train rides. I’m taking a long train ride from Massachusetts down to AwesomeCon later today (so I can be there for setup and opening early on Friday) and back again on Monday. It’s an eight-hour ride, the same as if I were to make the trip in a car. … Continue reading “Long Train Runnin’”
This weekend Garth and I will reunite behind a convention table as we exhibit together at AwesomeCon! We’ve been lucky enough to be able to attend this show for many years, though thanks to the pandemic not all of them have been consecutive. Regardless of when we’re there, it’s always a fun time when we … Continue reading “Back Again to AwesomeCon!”
I’m a metalhead and I have been for decades. I’ve enjoyed everything from stripped-down thrash metal to symphonic power/fantasy metal to absolutely brutal death/black metal. A recent trend of metal bands has caught my interest, and that’s bands with gimmicks. These are the few that have captured my imagination lately. I would credit the recent … Continue reading “Metal Bands With Gimmicks”
I have so much work to do. I have to make enough comics to maintain a good enough buffer for emergencies or unexpected issues. I have to make four pieces for my Patreon patrons this month. I have a queue of well over thirty commissions that still need to be fulfilled as Kickstarter rewards. And … Continue reading “The Cat Rule”
Back when I began The Legacy of Dominic Deegan, Snout’s adventures were much more physical in nature. There was a lot of physical humor and slapstick mishaps. There was action and silliness as he avoided amorphous blobs of eyes and teeth and took on the world’s angriest tree. Originally, the entire series of The Legacy … Continue reading “How The World Changed The Legacy”
