Layer 9: 1-1-1

I'll be releasing these 1 at a time here, until I figure a better way to do it. You can search by Layer 9, or you can just click the Layer 9 Tag to see more of them, one I have them up. I'll be trying to post about 1 a day or so, until I run out. So if I don't post for a while its because I'm not done with the next one yet.

New Things

Despite my best efforts, my original idea for the two comics I was planning on doing seems to have failed. My Server Side Includes for the navigation of the pages seem to not want to work on my server. Not sure why.

Anyway, I may end up publishing the comic via Blogger, but the downside is that you'd have to download every image to read it correctly, since Blogger will display it backwards. Hmm.

Also, I'm working on adding a Wiki to the site, which would be super awesome, where people can post information about the Realm, games, characters, and so on. It would be really cool, but it's difficult for someone not trained in PHP to set up. Wish me Luck.

More on Chrono Layer

Formerly Terminus Zol, Chrono Layer, the game I've been talking about for the summer, will (tentatively) run next saturday. It'll be based in the Realm, on the border of Molth and Vereon. I want people to do a group character creation thing, so if people are going to have a good idea for their characters, be able to talk about you're character's back story to the group, but don't show up with a filled in character sheet quite yet. If people want to talk to me about it, which would be great, I'd sure love emails.

The basis, for people who don't know, or forgot, or what have you, is as follows.

• Elric the Wandering King has just passed away.
• We begin the game at his funeral
• All characters must necessarily be in some way related in a positive way to Elric
• Elric was the heir to two dynasties in Molth and Vereon
• Formerly the king of both empires, civil war caused uprooted him and he became "The Wandering King"
• He traveled with the characters for an extended period before his death
• Elric was a noble person and was admirable from many points of view.

“King Elric was an amazing man. I’m sure I speak for all of us when I say that he was the greatest man I ever knew. He touched each one of us and instilled in us the power to continue, the drive to succeed, and the will to be great like him. Its already a darker world without him, but I know that he would be upset to see us mourning him. He was the kind of man who taught you things so you would learn, not so he could feel superior. I think he’d want us to continue in his honorable legacy with proud hearts. I knew Lord Elric Salamos Murilia Larcanthian the Wandering King and he made me stronger.”

I'm also still interested in running a game based of some of the concepts in Elfen Lied. I'm still working on the plot line of the thing, but so far the idea is basically that humans are the bad guys for once.

As for the comic, I'm getting work done on the plot line, and pretty soon I'm going to be getting serious on the character designs. Be sure to watch my art site in the future for those designs.

BESM and Comics

Alright everybody. I've spent last night and this afternoon building and tuning a new website page for Arcandio.com. Its for a new comic I will be attempting. Yes, I said attempting. I seem to be unable to hold myself to a comic for very long. This new site will allow me to update it really really frequently (Daily basically) but with only a frame or two, so that I dont get burnt out, but can get into a routine of doing it. Right now, I'm struggling for a plot line. It shouldn't be too hard, I'll just dig through some old story ideas.

Also, I'm working up an idea for another BESM game this summer, If I have time. The idea is based heavily on Elfen Lied. My thoughts right now are pitting the players as Diclonius against Humanity. Yeah, this time, humans are the bad guys. Still fleshing that one out too.

I've got a lot of stuff to think about these days. I have several unfinished ideas cropping up as you can see, but I plan to have a lot of this stuff finished and ready by the end of the semester.
