Mission To Mars Episode 1, The Ghosts of Mars!
« on: April 21, 2008, 02:01:45 AM »
I'm currently running a campaign game for my friends using Fantastic Worlds. Using the increasingly popular 'Comic Life' I'm going to attempt to tell the story in Sunday Comics style, with a new chapter every week! Be patient, it will take time to develop.

Great start Marc and I had a lot of fun!  I hate that I missed my opportunity to knock out Mang with my bold plan.
Look Daddy, I painted one of your robots!!!

Mang cannot be even touched by the likes of YOU!!  We are like unto a god, you pitiful excuse for a "hero".

Yours sincerely,

Cool, Mo! I have to take a crack at that comics software eventually.

Lovely stuff.

I took loads of pics of Friday night's game, with the intention of doing one of these comic things. Turns out the memory card was sitting in its dock, plugged into my PC the whole time. I never look at the camera's little screen when taking pics. It was shouting NO CARD! every time I took a pic. I need to get a camera that has a flashing light or an audible alarm in that situation.

What a f**king idiot!  :lol:

Anyway, it was a Sci-Fi thing, with pre-painted mechs of some sort and some GZG groundpounders fighting in a ruined city. We played it Old Skool and used Rogue Trader. The highlight was me 'pulling a Sickly' and crashing my mech into a building. Managed to kill a load of the enemy doing so, though, and the rest ran away when the thing exploded. Pilot bailed out. Mission was accomplished, all was well. The report would have been really great (possibly the best battle report in the history of the Galaxy ever), but you'll just have to imagine it.

Sorry for the interruption. Back to your scheduled programme.

Give the man a handler, pretty if he insists. We can't risking Plynkes botching more battle reports for us.

Oh man I've come close to doing that so many times.  Fortunately my camera has a little alarm sound when you try to take pics with no card.  Of course I'm glad it does because I've had that happen while doing professional photography at Weddings.  Not exactly something you can laugh off later.  

Oh stupid me.  Looks like I missed the entire ceremony because I forgot to put my card it.....  I'll be calling my lawyer now and telling him to get ready for the upcomming lawsuit.  

Hey MO where do you get that software?  Looks awsome!

It is called 'Comic Life' and can be found here...

http://plasq.com/comiclife?gclid=CLW11KSb75ICFQPJsgodXljS4g

It is really easy to use. It does most of the work for you. Plus it's really fun!

Ironworker,
Good to see you back on the forum, hope the move went well. I've missed your projects in the workbench section

I'm not done moving yet....  In fact the worst is still to come.  We ended up renting a house a month early, actually two months early, just so we could move our pets.  I thought I was going to be up there more often so I moved a lot of my current projects up there.  Turns out I've been at our old house more so my miniature work isn't getting done.  I've got to be out of my studio by the end of them month so who knows when I'll really be back at it.  It's really driving me nuts too because I've been highly inspired to do thigs this month but all I'm doing is moving stuff around.   :(  

Anyhow I"m sure we will work thing out.
