Back in August I told you that the DM of the Rings was over, and how I was looking forward to his next effort.
Well, I am unhappy to report that what I have read so far is that his new web-comic is so wide of the comedy mark, that I am very disappointed.
Now I am not one for fanfic, but I did write a couple of strips, (well, after all he did encourage them) but based them on Star Wars rather than Lord of the Rings.
Ill have a go at editing a couple and posting them later, minus the artwork. I know its self-indulgent, but tough.

DM of the Rings
So one of my favourite webcomics will shortly be coming to its natural end.
It had a funny start, a dodgy middle, picked up towards the end and has kinda been not very funny of late. I can understand this, as the writer is very open about his personal life and how it affects his work.
But, although DM of the Rings is due to end, he has promised a new comic line, something related to RPGs, but not what you would expect. There were enough people out there who wanted him to try Star Wars, me included, but I fully understand his reasons.
Although he doesnt request contributions, he does get fan-made versions of his comics, and I feel geeky enough to admit I have written a few myself, which I might post sometime later this week.

Welcome to the Great Rip-off
Well until someone else does it, I thought I’d do it first.
As a big fan of The DM of the Rings, a webcomic that portrays a realistic look at the way a role-playing game would happen should the DM get a hold of Lord of the Rings and try to run it for a dysfunctional group of gamers, I thought it was about time someone did the same for Star Wars.
Now anyone can put this together, no different from any other idea, but DM of the Rings became big after it had been running for a few issues, so Im hoping the same success here for GM of the Galaxy.
But that isnt the real reason Im doing this, its more to get exposure as a writer, and comedy skit writer, we shall see.
Comments, suggestions and restraining orders, most welcome.
