It is a quest that begins the first time you need one and for many it never ends. The lucky find one unique to themselves and awesome in its own right. Dr. Taxil here certainly appears to be among this group.
I've had many names before, sometimes changing to one I liked better or simply taking on a new name to avoid someone by appearing to be someone else, like some kind of digital chameleon, hehe.
I'd like to think I was the first person to use this name, but I very much doubt it :(
Still, it seems to be rare enough that I think I can get away with using it anyway.
It fits me quite well I think, better than all the previous names I've gone by. I'd like to hang onto this one if I can :)
I use it on a couple of other forums too :)
I doubt I'm the first one to use it, but like I said, it seems rarely used enough for me to get away with keeping it :)
And I like it. Being a freelance technomancer in my spare time, hehe ;)
For those who saw the news, a nightmarish ultra storm just tore up the east coast. It dropped twisters right into the heart of my hometown. thankfully no one died (as far i know) here where i live. but an entire super mall was wrecked from it. I lost power for 24 hours and the temps are hitting 100 degrees. i just got it back about an hour ago.
has anyone else been though the storm and can say what they seen?
Thanks, I'll need it and so will over 4 million of others over here that lost power.
Bad news form me: i have three down trees/ tree branches in three diffrent properties that i own that i have to saw up and dispose of. one of them wrecked a fence of mine. the last time i checked, half of my properties still are with out power.
good news from me: no real damage to any of my properties other wise. all of my people are accounted for and are fine.
still not out of this mess yet, but they are starting to look up.
I'm on the east coast! Luckily, though, the storm like, split into two right before it hit us and all we got was some thunder and lightning.
But I went into Maryland yesterday to help out at a lacrosse tournament and as we were driving down from PA, oh my gosh trees were down EVERYWHERE!!!
DC is still out of power. Up the street from me, a neighbor of mine had a huge 100 year old tree get knocked completely over, crushed a car and pulled down some power lines. it's STILL in the street but we can't get near it due to those lines.
there are still around 40k people in my county alone with out power and it seems they won't get it back till this Sunday.
for those who have not exprienced this, count your blessings. It could happen to you at any time, so you should prepare your self before hand.
Where I live, we had some horrible winds, at the end of last year in December, that took down trees and took out the power for several days for a lot of people in our town and many neighboring ones. I'd imagine what happened on the east coast is probably a heck of a lot worse and certainly affecting a much larger area, but knowing how bad it was for a lot of people here with what we had I can only imagine what it's like there. We only had somewhere around 25K people without power, if I remember correctly.
Yay! Settlers of Catan!
I love the way this strip looks. Are you using a new technique? I like how it almost looks like a painting, especially the first panel. :)
I used a different technique specifically for this strip to give it an old-timey feel! I don't normally use this brush on Chapel but I decided it was necessary for the vibe on this comic...I'm so glad you noticed it and like it, I think it turned out very well!
No, it was down! The server that this site is built on unexpectedly crashed last night -- there wasn't anything we could do about it, sadly. I'm just glad it's back up now!
If you've seen the news today, many, many sites were down because of an east coast storm that knocked out a bunch of Amazon servers -- that affected famous sites such as: pinterest, netflix, instagram, and chapelchronicles!
I'm glad you like it so much and I'm really happy I was able to communicate that vibe/emotion! I'm constantly impressed by how astute my readers are when it comes to noticing these things...
The main game is DEFINITELY worth it. We have the seafarers expansion, which while still a great game, doesn't seem to be quite as good as the main game by itself. I do not know if that holds true for the other expansions.
I love Catan, one heck of a fantastic game. I'm betting Fred wins this one too, judging by the size of those cities. I wonder if anyone else thought the 60 minute game time approximation was a bit shy of reality .
60 minute time approximation? I didn't know about that! My Catan games tend to go long, though, because I construct elaborate multi-part trades in order to get the supplies I want...it's not the fastest or easiest strategy, but it works well for me!
Yeah, my games go long as well (for the same reason), however, on the side of the box it gives 60 minutes as the approximate time to play the game. I've only played maybe two games that were anywhere near that time frame.
Well, I think the biggest thing is that, unlike monopoly where one person pulls ahead and it is essentially over, in catan you can come from behind quite easily with a few good rolls in your favor and a bit of strategy. Catan has the right balance of luck and strategy, I think.

The League of Fonts
THE LEAGUE OF FONTS is where typefaces are born. Every time a font is created in the world, it manifests as a living, breathing, Font – human for all intents and purposes, but unable to age or die unless their typeface falls into disuse. They live together on the League of Fonts, which serves as a secret island hub, bustling corporation, and home. It’s a world full of its own internal intrigues like any office, and Times New Roman is its powerful CEO. He’s got a lot on his plate lately: planning the League’s famous Decennial party, struggling with modern technology, and hiding his embarrassing addiction to the Twilight movies. Times New Roman is confident he can keep everything under control…but what’s an old font to do when a young boy named Louis Pepping accidentally stumbles onto the secrets of the League?
Find out every Wednesday!
love em!
I like it though, it looks nice!

I've heard of Settlers of Catan, but never actually played it.
Looks interesting :)

Never in my life! Huh!
i swear that Catan is so good, it's a matter of time before someone makes a live action movie out of it.
They'd probably try to make it an action movie. . .
