580 – Gorch • 07

by Kevin Pettway on November 9, 2009

561 – Monster Soup • 03

by Kevin Pettway on September 25, 2009

I saved this for the Friday blog because it’s awesome, and I wanted you to have all weekend with it. This is an article I cadged out of my friend and fellow gamer Lloyd Brown, who among other things is responsible for much of the World of Kalamar campaign setting by Kenzer and Co. Enjoy! [...]

555 – The Council of Erias • 06

by Kevin Pettway on September 11, 2009

When I was… oh, in my early twenties… I had a D&D character named Santiago that I dearly loved. He was fast, light, happy, and witty, the perfect swashbuckler. He was heroic and good, the way I would like to be, if I weren’t constantly defeated by the banalities of the real world. He was [...]

552 – The Council of Erias • 03

by Kevin Pettway on September 4, 2009

Fourth edition D&D has one new thing in it that I love above all others, and that is the concept of minions. Minions bring the crazy, over-the-top bad-assery of movies and books home to your gaming table in a way no other game mechanic ever has. For those of you unfamiliar with the concept, a [...]

546 – Hat Trick • 03

by Kevin Pettway on August 21, 2009

The Friday Geek-out: The D&D game I run hit tenth level a little while ago. This was pretty significant for us since it is the first 4e campaign many of us have been involved in and the first one to reach double digit levels. At the point they hit ten I made them fight 400 [...]

543 – The Curse • 04

by Kevin Pettway on August 14, 2009

Friday Geek-Out Because it’s come up recently and I was curious, I thought I’d ask what everyone’s opinions were concerning social lubricants while gaming. When I was young, all gaming pretty much went hand in hand with whiskey and pot, which led to some very memorable moments, and other moments which probably should have been [...]

540 – The Curse: 01

by Kevin Pettway on August 7, 2009

A couple of weeks ago Roxanne (one of my D&D players) took some pix as we were playing the last big scene before the transition to paragon level. The giant army which had been bedeviling the party for months finally attacked. I thought it might be fun to show you guys what my gaming table [...]

537 – Hunting the Hunter: 04

by Kevin Pettway on July 31, 2009

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who has been sticking it out with me through all the changes that the comic has undergone. Hopefully we should have seen the last of that for a bit (except for making the type a little bigger from now on) and the comic will continue to grow [...]

520 – As the Larva Turns: 02

by Kevin Pettway on June 30, 2009

Unlike all those other webcomics, voting for HOLE every day at Top Web Comics every day won’t make you fat, club-footed, or impotent! The Writing on the Wall The heroes crept down the narrow stone stair keeping their backs firmly against the wall. No one had yet heard the bodies of the huge bat-things hit [...]

509 – You Can’t Go Back: 16

by Kevin Pettway on June 15, 2009

Today’s blog is the start of something a little different. Twice a month I’m going to be writing posts having something to do with the actual game of D&D. These posts will be collected and kept in a separate area of the site (in addition to being in the regular blog area) for the convenience [...]
