From Blackberry to iPhone and now Android.

I think I’ve found the ideal home to blog on. Facebook has too many friends for me to rant on and Twitter is too confining.

About 5 years ago I moved from one blog site to Live journal and now I’m going to slowly move everything here.

BlackBerry WordPress

Hello, I managed to install a Word Press app on my BlackBerry which will enable me to keep posting on a more regular basis on this Blog. The DM of The Galaxy comics will still be posted on my laptop at home.

Lets Meet the Cast and Players

THE CAST:

DM– Eric – always trying to keep the peace and move the story on.

R2-D2– Karl – mouthy verbal player, who cant stay in character and ends up as the sneaky player.

C-3PO– John – not the cleverest of people, takes a while for things to sink in.

LUKE– Luke – whiny young player who names all of his characters after himself, despite protests from everyone else

OBI-WAN– NPC – the DM´s Mary-Sue character, very unpopular

HAN – Jason –  dice rolling cheat

CHEWIE – Kevin – always being told to be quiet, to stay in character

LEIA – Jennifer – The DM’s suffering anti-geek girlfriend, only turns up for the odd session, and never seems to get along with Jason

Lazy So and So

Sorry guys, just stumbled across my own blog wherein I had hoped to script my own version, but 3 years and Ive done nothing except write the odd script update.

I have 1 full script ready to go, but having trouble sourcing the screen caps.

We shall work onwards.

Moving a Step Closer

I have the software to compose the comic strip, as well as the scripts.  I have also gotten a fair few images/screencaps from the opening scenes to start.

I am hoping to have the first comic up by the end of December. I am also due to revise the scripts as I found I was using too much material in the early ones, too many jokes and ideas that I can spread out a bit.

Status Quo

No not the rubbish rock band, but rather I am collecting screencaps for the series, and beginning to build a basic page layout template. Scripts have been written for the first 5 episodes, and seeing how everyone else is approaching it, I may get more life out of a seconds worth of film.

DM of the Galaxy has a Rival Already!

I have been lazy, and no reason not to cry, but there is already a DM of the Galaxy rival out there in the form of Darths & Droids.

I have begun screencapping the film and will begin a slow production of maybe one or two a month.

D&D (ha ha) is actually running from episode 1 of Star Wars, whilst mine will start from episode 4.

Welcome to the Great Rip-Off

Well until someone else does it, I thought I’d do it first.

As a big fan of The DM of the Rings, a webcomic that portrays a realistic look at the way a role-playing game would happen should the DM get a hold of Lord of the Rings and try to run it for a dysfunctional group of gamers, I thought it was about time someone did the same for Star Wars.

Now anyone can put this together, no different from any other idea, but DM of the Rings became big after it had been running for a few issues, so Im hoping the same success here for GM of the Galaxy. But that isnt the real reason Im doing this, its more to get exposure as a writer, and comedy skit writer, we shall see.

Comments, suggestions and restraining orders, most welcome.
