Tsujin Saves Christmas

Well, that was a fun holiday season. AARPG blog is back! What have I been working on during the dead time? I made a comic called Tsujin Saves Christmas as a present to my roommate. It has similarities to the Awesome Adventure RPG.

Dragons destroying the city. It's up to us to stop them!

Baru using Ether Fist. Taste the shiny wrath!

These three panels are in no particular order. The book has 48 pages. I'll post the whole thing online some time.

18. Crono's Complaint
The less the main character talks, the more words are put into his mouth, and therefore the more trouble he gets into through no fault of his own.

17. Hey, I Know You, Three!
Furthermore, expect to encounter most of the following obligatory non-player characters (NPCs):

The townsperson or crewmember who wanders aimlessly in circles and never quite gets where he is going.
Hilariously incompetent or cowardly soldiers.
The NPC who has a crush on another NPC and can't quite work up the nerve to tell him or her, so instead tells every other person who wanders by about it at great length.
A group of small children playing hide-and-seek.
The wise and noble captain/king/high priest.
The wise and noble captain/king/high priest's splutteringly evil second-in-command. Nobody, including the hero, will notice the second's constant, crazed scheming until the moment when he betrays everyone to the forces of badness.
The NPC who is obsessed with his completely mundane job and witters on endlessly about how great it is. He's so thrilled by it that he wants to share it with everyone he sees, so given a quarter of a chance he'll make you do his job for him.
The (adult) NPC who has nothing better to do than play kids' games with passersby.
The group of young women who have formed a scarily obsessive fan club for one of your female party members
