Do you like webcomics? We at Through Gamer Goggles sure do, especially when those webcomics are based on Role-Playing Games! And that is why we reached out to J.E. & E. Flint, the creators of The Chronicles of Loth.

I first met J.E. through the website “Explorers Unlimited,” a play-by-post site dedicated to Rifts and other Palladium Books games. So what goes into the creation of a weekly webcomic? “Mostly spite,” they say. Listen in and find out more.

Silvervine Campaign: Session 1, Episode 4

Here is the next chapter for your listening pleasure!

Due to some logistical issues we did not get Episode 3 post last week as planned. Therefore we are posting both Episodes 3 & 4 today! It’s a two-for-one special of Role-Playing action/hilarity/insanity/fun.

In this episode the group runs afoul of the local authorities. Shocking right? I mean, how could a three-foot tall anthropomorphic flying squirrel, a mass of worms in its own steam-powered flying tin can, and a drunken elf get into trouble so quickly? You know, after reading that sentence again, it’s a miracle we didn’t run into trouble much, much sooner.

Goblin Spearmen (10)

These Goblins ordinarily carry spears and shields though these items are of little use in the close tunnels of overrun Dwarf citadels where many goblins make their home, and a close second favorite is a curved knife, preferably wielded behind the backs of their enemies. 10 x Metal Goblin Spearmen with command 10 x Plastic Mantic Bases

Danny and Ryan have taken the time to make a character for the Silvervine Game system. It is one of the easiest character creation systems out there. It is also a good demonstration of the freedoms you have while creating a character in the Silvervine System.

We hope you liked it. If you did, take a look at our Doomsday Drive.

Matt’s Response to Dungeons and Dragons 5th ed

First if you haven’t read Ryan’s post you should start here. It contains links to the information that we base our reactions on.

Before we get too involved here is my brief D&D history.

I started playing in 1981. I took a break in Middle School. Started back again in ’86. The play experience carried me into 2nd edition. I remember that the transition was a simple one and I enjoyed proficiencies. I stopped playing again sometime in the mid 90’s.

2002-ish I started to play again. This time it was 3.5. Again it was a simple step into the the new edition. Oddly enough I didn’t miss the things that were changed. I missed the things that were used for background, like the GM description chart, and the random dungeon building chart from the DMG.
