Jun 15, 2009 5:17:25 Penny Arcade has created a pilot for a possible Jim Darkmagic mini-series. The thread to discuss it is here http://forums.gleemax.com/showthread.php?t=1202967

Meanwhile Scott Kurtz has revived Ding! with Binwin Bronzebottom. Check it here http://www.pvponline.com/2009/06/15/welcome-to-ravenhurst/

Coincidence?

If we're still getting weekly Binwin updates in August, I'll be surprised.

I think Lookouts got such mad support because they released a podcast about it. People got to see what they planned for it and what they decided not to put it, while with Automata, people were like, "Yeah, ok. Now what?" But people love Jim Darkmagic (The original painting of him by Mike Krahulik sold for $5000) so i'd say that those two would be in contention.

As for Binwin, I believe Kurtz means well and I think he put a lot of thought into it, but he does have a history of starting things and not finishing them. I don't know if we can fault him for that though, i mean, he's just one guy, while penny arcade has a staff of a dozen people. It's getting harder and harder to compare PVP and Penny Arcade these days.

Jun 22, 2009 3:06:40 Bump, because there's a follow-up to the previous Binwin one http://www.pvponline.com/2009/06/21/not-affiliated-with/

And I find it hilarious.

Jun 22, 2009 4:25:14 I just love Binwin. Why?
Because he's the opposite of Jim Darkmagic. He rolls poorly, dies in every confrontation, and STILL manages to JUST pull through with an inch of life left. He's unpopular, nobody knows him except by association of Darkmagic, and he gets hit by his own party numerous times.
He makes the best of a poor situation, and that's why he's my hero.
Rock on, Binwin. ROCK ON.

He's also an excellent substitute for a rogue.
