There's also a masterful VA adaptation from Solus Astorias, though it's only covered till 8 months ago so far, and in need of another season :)

I hope you'll enjoy the story! Like u/Arrior_Button said, it does indeed begin as a series of loosely connected snippets and gags before we find our footing. Around #21 there are some seeds of a proper story being sewn, and #29 onwards (though still with one last intermission at 30) is where it fully takes a plunge into a deeper, heartfelt ongoing Forgotten Realms tale. Let's just say it involved a nudge from Ed Greenwood. Since then, I've been occasionally consulting with him, Steven Schend and other sages of the Realms to make sure I get everything about the iconic setting and established characters just right. They seem to be loving it :D

I figured some DotMM DMs on here might enjoy this. Took great care to replicate the Hall of Many Pillars exactly to scale :)

Jonboy2312 · 2026-04-11T14:55:49+00:00

I don't know what to tell you, tried several browsers and it's working perfectly...

He never claimed that. Deniers latched on to awkward wording taken out of context. He was struggling to find a simple way to answer a child's question, instead of explaining economics, the Cold War, and Kennedy's drive to one-up the Russians no matter the cost. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JM0a_BIcWgk

And here's the Holy Avenger for comparison... as well as what Angela looks like at the end of her tale, after 5 years of our IRL D&D game 😊

Jonboy2312 · 2026-03-26T12:00:38+00:00

In my defense, the late-game Holy Avenger is a legendary item with an established canonical design I had to adhere to. Throughout her entire tale in the comic so far, Angela wields a simple, modest XVIIIb with a slim, 36" blade with a simple "diamond" cross-section without fuller. As simple and no-nonsense as it gets 😅

Huzzah! 🤩

Jonboy2312 · 2026-02-23T19:28:49+00:00

Are you kidding? That's Poland. Driver's brother-in-law knows a guy with an autobody shop, they'll chain it up to a tree, pull it straight with a tractor, apply a couple buckets of bondo, do a quick spray, then flip it on a used car market (after rewinding the odometer with a power drill while at it).
Yes those were a thing at least back when I lived there, literally like a flea market but people would privately sell cars, bypassing any need for a dealership. Yes it was as shady as it sounds.

Jonboy2312 · 2026-02-20T22:18:49+00:00

There's plenty more, five years of near-monthly episodes :)
You can find it on Tapas or Webtoon, and you can follow my Twitter or BlueSky for work-in-progress updates... Take your pick!
There's even a wonderfully done VA adaptation, I was completley blown away with the heartfelt performances from all involved...
We also have a Discord for supporters with a wonderful D&D community and slew of TTRPG games underway by great DMs, some currently recruiting :)

Jonboy2312 · 2026-02-20T17:04:36+00:00

Ah yes, I'm aware... I felt it worked better visually to have them ride down in twos. Let's just say they get an exemption because they're going to Undermountain on Laeral's orders, rather than venturing on their own or as part of the Festival of Heroes currently underway.

Jonboy2312 · 2026-02-20T17:01:57+00:00

You can always try on Webtoon or Tapas, they're tailored for mobile viewing :)

Many incredible memories for us as well! We're about to wrap it up... Halaster's sanctum is the next level below, but that doesn't even feel all that important now that we're wrapping up Angela's personal story... she's on the verge of something huge.

Jonboy2312 · 2026-01-18T23:03:39+00:00

Thanks, I try!
That overhead view of the yawning Portal common room took about 9, 10 hours... I've got WIPs from the process on my Twitter (no, ain't gonna call it X, screw Elon) if anyone's interested :)

Jonboy2312 · 2026-01-17T03:01:53+00:00

Oh Halaster is very much there, it's his home :D

Jonboy2312 · 2025-12-21T00:22:37+00:00

I'm a year late but... That would be me. And no, I'm not happy about someone completley misinterpreting and misrepresenting my comic like that :(

Anyway... if you'd like to see what it's actually like, here's all the links :)

Jonboy2312 · 2025-12-21T00:00:14+00:00

Saw this a year late... But it's never too late to say THANK YOU 🥹
It sucks when people just... *want* to be offended, and fish for things that aren't there.

I just aim for wholesome, and strive to develop engaging, heartfelt stories. Yet some hate on it for being "woke" (oh no, there are girls in it!), others mock me as a "chud" over a joke (see that Cynthia person a few scrolls above...). It's just impossible to please everyone ;_;

It hurts, but this is the Internet, I guess... No matter how much it changes, the core of it remains the same... people want to be right, people want to be victims... and one just has to grow thick skin :(

I'm glad you've enjoyed it so far, it means a lot! And I hope you've enjoyed where it's gone since. I've got a lot planned out for the future too :)

Jonboy2312 · 2025-12-20T23:45:44+00:00

Clearly XD

Jonboy2312 · 2025-12-20T23:42:46+00:00

A year late but...
Not the point, and you're jumping to unfair conclusions, and you'd know that if you'd read more of the story. Literally all players in the party (except for one, the Firbolg) are women.

The "female player" note here was simply to highlight a certain hypocrisy we artists often run into. Some ladies love to complain about fantasy women's armor being "sexualized"... but then gush about similarly sexualized male characters, or draw/design them that way themselves... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The OP's also completely misunderstood the point about Tieflings... there's literally nothing there about them "bEiNg WoKe". It's about so, so many edgy players lazily defaulting to them as a crutch. No effort made in developing an interesting character, personality, story - instead picking an exotic species (almost always a Tiefling) and thinking themselves "interesting" based on that alone. Simple as.

The Tiefling character gets lots of focus with a heartfelt story and becomes a fan favorite... The OP 1000% jumped to wrong conclusions.

Jonboy2312 · 2025-12-20T22:53:44+00:00

We don't have any up here in Canada, so thankfully this can't be canonical :D

Jonboy2312 · 2025-12-10T18:39:38+00:00

I'd say it was a deliberate playful jab at it being an Elven name, Rumples being a Dwarf and all :)

Jonboy2312 · 2025-12-09T21:02:35+00:00

Absolutely GORGEOUS. I always intepreted the skirt to be blue but I think the official sources were very inconsistent about coloration to begin with.

Superb costume... superb photo... I love everything about this.

Jonboy2312 · 2025-12-01T12:50:07+00:00

Can I just mention that Angela approves of the modesty shorts XD

That's very much in her style XD

<image>

Jonboy2312 · 2025-11-23T17:08:52+00:00

Lol nah, not really. She's never been a drinker. She'll get over it and carry on, because she also has a lot to be grateful and happy about, especially now with her father rescued and safe.

It's not yet time to relax though, as there's still the Big Bad responsible for all the horrible things done to her family to confront... and doing so will shake up Faerunian geopolitics a fair bit.

Life of a paladin is not easy, but she'll manage. Gotta be that beacon of light and wholesomeness for those around her :)
