Here's one more Angel Archetype shamelessly stolen from popular culture.  Perhaps her inclusion will inspire me to do one other.  It'd be a great use for the "Criminal" Quality.

Background on the Preacher's Kid
I haven't told too many people my story.  Who would believe me?  The ones I have, they ask me how I can still believe in God after what I've seen.  I ask them what other choice I have.  I've looked hell in the face, and I owe my life to a theif and murderer, but God brought me out of it.
 
And now I'm trying to do His work.
 
Rolling out of Mexico in an empty RV with no father, no brother, and a dufflebag full of blood money, I wasn't sure what to do.  I didn't feel like I could go home again.  What would I say?  Dad didn't have any other family, and Mom's people never had any use for us.  So I kind of dropped off the radar, staying in trailer parks, shopping late at night when I wouldn't have to deal with anybody.  But eventually I needed to /know./  Were those the only monsters?  Could I ever feel safe again?
 
I found some people who could tell me.  Turns out those weren't the only monsters.  But maybe I'll feel safe again one day.  They're teaching me to fight, and to hunt.  I turned up at a good time for them.  The last of the money I had was enough to bail them out of a tight spot, so they kind of adopted me.
 
So far, I'm strictly a "support" person, but give me a couple years and I'll be an mmm, mmm warrior of God.
 
Quote: "I've been in tighter spots than this.  Come back after you spend the night in a titty-bar full of vampires with only some bikers and the guy who kidnapped you for protection and THEN complain about how much trouble we're in."
 
Roleplaying the Preacher's Kid
Despite all you've seen and done, you're a remarkably good, hopeful person.  While the rest of your team is generally focused on smiting the forces of evil (and let's face it, that's a good thing to do), you're more concerned with helping out the innocent.  Whenever possible, you'll curb their baser impulses.
 
But when it comes to fighting monsters, all bets are off.
 
Suggested Equipment
Winnebago, Gun, Holy Water, Crucifix, Bible

Hi y'all.  Here's the first world I've ever created in Fractal Terrains by sculpting from a flat world instead of just generating a random one and tweaking it.

This is something of a work in progress.  Everything is too smooth since I haven't roughened it any.  The elevations are kind of "flat" too, but that's on purpose.  I find that a lot of contours don't translate well to CC2 maps, so I deliberately set up the terrain just to give me an idea of where mountains and  hills should be instead of an exact representation of the world.  I'm still finetuning it, though.

Once I get it to where I'm happy, I'll probably post a new version of this.

This is the map I'm working on for the "Kickin' it Old School" stuff, by the way.  I still haven't figured out how I'm going to do floating islands.

Okay, this disappearing text thing is driving me nuts.

But anyway, here's the last of the three I did.  I have rough drafts of around twenty.  Perhaps I'll do the rest, but they take a while, and I have other things to do with my time.  If, for some odd reason, you really like what you've seen so far, let me know and I'll factor that into my decision-making.

Here's number two.  (I really wonder why the text keeps disappearing when I edit posts with graphics)

I finished up number 3 today.  I'll post it later.  Then I'll have to see how much time I have, since each of these things takes a couple hours, and I have other projects to work on.

How odd.  I would have sworn there was some content here before.  Oh well, I'll just do the introduction again.

Hello, and welcome to David's Nearly Adequate Web Comic, the comic that might update occasionally.

I have about twenty rough drafts drawn over a couple days of inspiration, but I never really intended to publish them.  Then, a few days ago, some people at the library where I am employed asked me if I'd contribute a couple comic strips to a web publication they're doing.  So I now have two of them inked and lettered.  All the artwork is done by hand.  All the lettering is done by Photoshop Elements, because I figured people would want to be able to read it.

These were pretty fun, and if they don't take too much of my time, I may keep doing them.  But don't pin your hopes for the future on it or anything. :)

Background on the Guardian Demon

My brethren and I were born for battle, serving demon lords and mortal sorcerers alike for centuries.  Countless times, I have died and been reborn in a life of endless battle.  My first master was a Blood Wizard of ancient Lemuria who sent me against the Atlantean host.  Later, I served a demonologist in the burning land of Al-Khem, and still later, a magi of Rome.

And in this age of light and steel and toxic smoke, I was summoned to serve a sorcerer of vicious cunning and boundless cruelty.  Great would have been the battles I fought, the kingdoms I brought to the ground.

Alas, it was not to be.  A group of children led by a Slayer disrupted the ritual by slaying my master-to-be in the middle of the summoning.  I arrived in the mortal world and was bound to the nearest magician, a mere slip of a girl who had been cowering behind a desk while the battle raged.

But I must serve her with all of my being.  Thus is my destiny, until I am slain and returned again to the dreaming blood.  So now I prey upon demons and vampires as I have in the past, but I am seldom allowed to eat them, and my mistress never wishes her share of my kills.

Mine is a vexing lot, but I will bear it, for that is my way.

Quote:  “Face me, Vampire, and I will rend you limb from limb, and feast on your entrails before I allow you the relief of death… um… if that’s okay, mistress.”

Roleplaying the Guardian Demon

You are a warrior born, consummate in skill, and in cruelty.  You have served bloodthirsty warlords, carnifex priests, and soul-destroying warlocks… and now an astigmatic vegetarian wicca who gets faint at the sight of blood.

You’re not really “evil” per se, just bloodthirsty and violent.  You’re pretty much as happy fighting vampires as you are slaughtering villages of innocent farmers.  In fact, you prefer a good fight over an easy slaughter.  You don’t understand a lot of this “protect the innocent” or “show mercy” stuff, but you’re bound to try.

Suggested Equipment

Big Axe, Overcoat, Broad-brimmed hat, Sunglasses.

Actually, just one map this time - a fantasy coliseum.  It's fairly sketchy, but it doesn't need to be a lot more.  It's for a PbEM fantasy game I'm running.  I'll be using it as a battle map for a scene that's going on right now.  Perhaps it'll come in handy later, too.

Hello Everybody!

In my continuing quest to become an adequate user of Campaign Cartographer, I've now started working on interior maps.  Presented below is a mid-century service station based off of various pictures from Google Image Search.  My concept of the place is that it's a converted house.  The two bathrooms and the garage would have been additions on a shotgun style house.  The up-stairs apartment would have been added when the garage was put on, giving whoever ran the shop a place to live.

I'm not 100% thrilled with this map.  There's no basic dungeons template of convenient size, so my map has no borders.  Life goes on.  (I  have an idea for a future project, though - a set of "Map Border" segments you could attatch to any map like some of the wall symbol segments.  That'll happen once after I learn to draw symbols, if ever.)  I substituted symbols in other places, too.  The store counter is really a desk set, the garage doors are sliding doors, and the stairs are a little funky since there wasn't really an "L" shaped stair like I wanted.  It gets the point across, though.

So, without furhter ado,
