What's Inquisitor up to?  Come back on the 20th to find out!

Sketch - Magus, Free Comic Book Day

We had a table at our friendly local gaming store on Free Comic Book Day, and Colin spent the day asking me to sketch things.

Comic Preview: Riddle Me Not

Magus remains my second-favorite to draw for facial expressions (Barbarian is first).

Handbook of Erotic Fantasy: Infidelity

You guys remember my ill-fated raven familiar Viigar? Dude died easier than a red-shirted stormtrooper, but that wasn’t through any ill intent on my part. I was all manner of fond of the little dude, and properly ...

Comic Preview: Recruiting

Colin is still salty that Gunslinger doesn't look like Clint Eastwood, but I love him.

HoEF #16 Preview

It occurred to me while sketching this one out that Summoner would have no idea that Thief had six eyes, since he's never seen underneath her bangs.  Therefore Rouge has only two, sadly.

HoEF 16 will be posted on May 10th!

Comic Preview: Powers of Persuasion

Succubus has best resting bitch face.

Comic Preview: Style

This was a hard one for me.  Despite having been an anime-obsessed pre-teen, despite having drawn anime-inspired art for what has to be close to a decade... it had been a while.  And though the influence is still there in my style, it was actually pretty rough to go back to drawing little triangle thingies for noses an...

Handbook of Erotic Fantasy: Faun and Games

Laurel's Note: This one gets in just under the wire as our first official 'second HoEF comic a month.'  Beat the deadline by 9 minutes!

One of my favorite convention stories involves JK Rowling. Apparently it was during a Q&A when an adorable, bright-eyed child headed up to the microphone to ask a question. I like to ...

Wallpaper: April 2018

Where the heck is Cleric?  Why are there tentacles?  Did they suddenly start a steampunk campaign? These things might be related.

Wallpaper is available in 1920x1080 by default, but let me know if you'd like it in another size!

Comic Preview: Supplements

Sometimes I worry about what my reference material does to my search history.

Comic Preview: Puppy Kicking

That puppy is secretly an evil, extra-planar monster, I just know it.

HoEF Preview

What are these fellows doing?  Find out on the 30th, when I'll be posting this month's second Handbook of Erotic Fantasy comic, thanks to your support helping us meet our first goal!  Next month they'll be spaced out a little differently with the new schedule, but I wanted to make sure we got a second one posted this m...

Comic Preview: I Cast Maslow's Hammer

Sometimes Colin and I have very weird conversations when making these.  This week's was "I'm pretty sure a pickle jar that's been hit by a fireball would no longer have a readable label."

Achievement: 1st Goal Made!

Today marks something very special for Handbook, we've officially reached our very first goal, and so I get to put up our first milestone post and have the honor of saying a HUGE thank you, thank you, thank you, THANK YOU to all of you who support this comic.  We are so grateful for your support, and you inspire and encoura...

Comic Preview: A Few Points Short

Adventurers were called in when Mr. Fluffles turned out to be no match for the vicious rats in the basement.

Handbook of Erotic Fantasy: Elven Decorum

First of all, just to get it out of the way: wood elf. *snerk*

Now that the important business is done with, what do you say we talk about culture clash, and why it’s a good thing for your games? Let’s shall. 

We’ve all been to pseudo-medieval Europe, and it’s a nice setting to keep in your ...

Comic Preview: Mean Girls 3/3

The evil party is beginning to form!  One of the members was voted on this week (congrats Anti-Paladin!), but there's also a fourth joining these two lovely ladies, and they've appeared multiple times in Handbook World already.

Who do you think it will be?

Monthly Poll Reminder

Assassin and Anti-Paladin are still tied on the poll today, and I'm due to start the comic--if anyone who hasn't yet voted wants to cast their ballot, they may well get to decide which one gets to appear!  If a decision still has not been reached by 2pm, Colin and I will flip a coin.

Comic Preview: Mean Girls 2/3

I felt so bad this week after someone commented on the last comic that they now shipped Paladin and Necromancer, knowing this page was coming...

What's going on in this woodland throne?  Find out on the 15th when the comic gets posted!

Sketch - April Character Poll

To help with the poll this month, check out the rough initial sketches for each of the potential new characters!  (For those interested, Assassin is a Dhampir and Anti-Paladin is a Fire Genasi--mixed versions/games ftw!)

Monthly Character Poll

There's a new party forming in Handbook-World (and that really needs a better name, doesn't it), and one of the members has yet to make an appearance.  Who will be joining the newest motley crew?

Comic Preview: Mean Girls 1/3

This comic is the first of a 3-part series following miss Necromancer, there--we got some requests to see more of her, and while Colin and I don't usually go for serious continuity, every once in a while there's a story that takes more than one panel to tell. :)

Comic Preview: Solo Stealth Mission

Thief mostly uses 'reconnaissance' as time to catch up on her mobile games.

Sketch: Witch

I've been doing some more sketches of characters who'll be making some more appearances soon--Witch and Necromancer are both due up!

Comic Preview: The Return of Jeremy

This is a subject that's pretty near and dear to my heart--my father is a gamer, and I grew up underneath the D&D table, playing with my toys while he and his group slew vampire lords and overthrew kingdoms.  It definitely contributed to me being a gamer later in life. There's nothing wrong with including kids with gami...

March Wallpaper

I'd been wanting to do a Rule 63 swap for the other main party members for a while now, so Femme-Fighter gets some friends this month!

Wallpaper is available in 1920x1080, but I can make different sizes if anyone wishes!

Comic Preview: The Listlessness

This was a narrow vote, but this comic won out!  Check out the full post tomorrow at handbookofheroes.com!

Scripts from the Vault

Colin and I don't always make every idea into a comic, so we have a plethora of ideas that were rejected for one reason or another that we thought would be fun to give a second chance.  For this month, we want you to tell us which of the following scripts you'd prefer to see:

OPTION ONE:

Title: The ...
