Jun 13, 2009 9:21:12 Penny Arcade will have a Jim Darkmagic comic Monday.

They will have a poll about which of three settings to use for a comic while they're at a convention. They have already posted what I will call the pilots for Lookouts and Automata.

I will admit, Lookouts and Automata look really promising. But, come on, it's Jim Darkmagic of the New Hampshire Darkmagics.

Besides, Gabe and Tycho have said they plan to do all three stories eventually.

Letting people know? If you don't care, don't post.

Jun 13, 2009 12:41:19 I brought it up because it is of specific relevance to D&D. The podcasts, along with Gabe, Tycho, Scott, and Wil's public enthusiasm for the game, have helped D&D reach a larger audience.

Jun 13, 2009 13:31:58 I want to see my episodes of the Lookouts, it seems like a far more interesting storyline then the other two options.

I certainly think it has more promise than Automata, but I really do think all three would be good. They do a great job on the rare occasions they institute continuity.

In particular, I think Gabe steps up his artwork for special projects.

I agree. I've noticed whenever he makes a donation or specialty art, he really gives it his all. I admire the talent, conviction and dedication that man has brought to the artform, not to mention all the other various projects the pair (Tycho/Gabe) have done for the gaming/public community.

Jun 13, 2009 13:43:21 Lookouts was really cool, and I liked listening to the podcast of them making it. I liked the Visual style of Automata, but not much else about it really wowed me. I think they should continue making comics about the exploits of Acquisitions Incorporated because those podcasts were immensely entertaining. The idea of a Jim Darkmagic mini-comic really turns my crank.

Jun 15, 2009 4:46:18 Jim Darkmagic as a lousy illusionist? Now they've destroyed the legend.

Though I'm pretty sure this story will lead to forming Acquisitions Inc.
Anyway, my vote is for either Lookouts or Automata, I still don't know which one though.

Jun 15, 2009 6:57:11 Not as good as I was expecting. But if it gives us the backstory for Acquisitions, Inc., it should be fun.

I'm going to vote for Lookouts when they have the poll.
