Als erste der neuen DSA-Kampagnen wurde vor kurzem "Brandans Pakt" beendet. Ich habe einen Blick auf die Gesamtkampagne geworfen.

Brandans Pakt – ein Gesamtfazit

Vorbemerkung: DSA ist momentan extrem Kampagnen-lastig, die Redaktion schwingt gerade recht stark am Rad des großen Metaplots, v.a. ist laut Ankündigung sogar eine Verknüpfung der parallel laufende…

Reminder for my supporters on Patreon, the switch to monthly subscriptions is happening next week. Don't miss your last chance to adjust your pledge. The first "monthly" will be charged on Feb 1st. Update now to avoid surprises! (and thank you for your support!)

🧵 Page 1/3: Change Ahead!

#webcomic #krita

A webcomic page in four panels:

Panel 1. A cartoony little witch, named Pepper, probably 9 years old on this comic, with her red cat, Carrot. She screams through a megaphone with a loudness symbol, and Carrot has big eyes because he wasn't prepared.
> Pepper: (big and bold): "Important message!"
> Pepper: "My Patreon & Tipeee platforms are changing to a monthly subscription model starting in 2026."

Panel 2. Pepper shrugs after throwing the megaphone. Carrot recovers from the sound.
> Pepper: "Now, instead of supporting my work 'per new Pepper&Carrot episode', you'll only have the option to support me monthly."

Panel 2b (small inset in Panel 2). Pepper's face shows her anger, but she tries to refrain it.
> Pepper: "Was it my choice? No! I was forced, like all 'per content' creators..."

Panel 3. Carrot has a big wrench, and up on a ladder, he adjusts some cogs.
> Pepper: "But, before I explain more, I invite all my Tipeee and Patreon supporters to adjust their donations."

Panel 4. Pepper crouches down, petting a happy little wallet with a smile.
> Pepper: "It's okay to lower your donation to adapt to the new monthly support model."
> Pepper: "Be kind to your wallet!"

Seen a lot of discourse about TTRPG rankings, possibly because I haven't posted my perfect and unassailable opinions for a few years.

Mummy: the Curse beats Shadow of the Demon Lord
Night's Black Agents beats Monsterhearts
Tales From the Loop beats Vampire: the Masquerade

Fantasy Corner:
Phoenix Command beats Cypher System
7 Wonders beats Spire
7th Sea beats Call of Cthulhu ("I'm pretty sure John Wick could take Cthulhu in a fight. What do you mean it's not that John")
BESM beats PbtA

Sci-Fi Corner
Leverage beats Blades in the Dark
Pokémon RPG beats Eclipse Phase
Star Wars WEG beats Star Wars FFG
Starfinder beats Star Wars d20

I just finished the Pepper&Carrot new page for sharing our Fonts!
A decade ago, libre comic fonts were hard to find, especially with good accent support. So, translators, contributors and I edited & maintained our own to fill the gap.

Check them out: www.peppercarrot.com/en/fonts/ind...

Fonts - Pepper&Carrot

Official homepage of Pepper&Carrot, a free(libre) and open-source webcomic about Pepper, a young witch and her cat, Carrot. They live in a fantasy universe of potions, magic, and creatures.

The Correct Incantation

#webcomic #krita #miniFantasyTheater

A comic in four panels:

Panel 1. The gothic sorceress, dressed in dark, flowing robes, stands in the middle of a desolated land. She gazes at the colorful mechanical parrot flying near her shoulder: the Avian Intelligent Parrot. The sorceress asks with a hint of curiosity.
> Gothic sorceress: "Hey, Avian Intelligence, what's the incantation for summoning a fireball?"
> AI Parrot: ":sparkle emoji: The correct incantation for a fireball is "IgnisMe"."

Panel 2. The gothic sorceress cracks a wicked smile, her eyes shining with anticipation as she raises her hands in front of her, fingers spread and ready to cast.
> Gothic sorceress: "Alright, let's give it a shot... IgnisMe!"

Panel 2(small insert in previous panel). Only the eyes of the gothic sorceress are visible in a large flame.
> Gothic sorceress: "?!!"

Panel 3. The gothic sorceress is burnt, her face contorted in a mix of shock, anger, and pain. Flames and smoke dance around her, her dark robes burnt and tattered, revealing exposed parts of her anatomy.
> Gothic sorceress: "You #*$%@& bird! You gave me a self-immolation spell instead of a fireball spell!"

Panel 4. As the sorceress facepalms, the Avian Intelligent parrot replies with stoicism.
> AI Parrot: ":sparkle emoji: You're absolutely right! The correct incantation for a fireball is "PyroBolus"."
