Hey, there’s something coming up that I want to tell you about!

Typecast Tonight, FanX on Thursday

It’s Tuesday again already? Let’s Do This.

At 9pm Eastern my friends and I will be  streaming our Gods of Vareon D&D game.  Dan Wells is our dungeon master. Brian McClellan, Mari Murdock, Charlie Holmberg, Ethan Sproat, and I are playing, respectively, the no-healing¹ Cleric, the no-prisoners Rogue, the no-romance Druid, the no-religion Paladin, and the no-fighting-please² Bard.

I’ll doing high-speed color sketches of in-game events, and new subscribers get to suggest targets for my pen, so if you’ve got an Amazon Prime account with unused Twitch subscriptions, this might be a good use for them!

Previous sessions are available on YouTube, but our giveaways (including some of those sketches) are reserved for the live audience.

Typecast Will Be At FanX

We’ll be at Salt Lake City FanX doing a one-shot adventure in Room 255 DEF from 5pm to 9pm on Thursday. I’ll be doing the in-game sketching thing during the show, and those sketches will be given away to audience members. For reals!

I’m not exhibiting at the show³, so if you’re in Salt Lake City for FanX this weekend, your only opportunity to catch up with me will be Thursday evening. And while I can’t promise you a live D&D sketch, I’ll definitely sign whatever merchandise you may have that needs my attention.

¹ This has proven inconvenient. My bard is now the party’s main healer. 
² My bard was pacifist-leaning before he realized he was also the combat medic. He now has even more reasons to try to talk his way out of a fight.
³ Regarding exhibiting at FanX: Sandra and I have tried several times to make it worth our while, but it’s just not. Four of our five least profitable shows in the last 10 years have been FanX/SLC Comic-Con, so as much as I’d love to have a presence there, my time is more pleasantly⁴ and profitably spent at home drawing comics.
⁴ Of course, if this Typecast thing is enough fun, and enough of a hit, Typecast might exhibit next year, and I’d definitely be there for that.

Typecast RPG Tonight on Twitch

It’s Tuesday! That means tonight at 9pm Eastern I’ll be streaming¹ our Gods of Vareon D&D game with Dan Wells, Brian McClellan, Mari Murdock, Charlie Holmberg, and Ethan Sproat.

Last week Ethan took a shot of 140k Scoville hot sauce every time someone subscribed. This week we’ll do something different. I’ve offered to do a sketch based on each new subscriber’s suggestion, but ultimately it’s up to Dan².

Previous sessions are available on YouTube, but as an incentive to tune in on Twitch, the live show has a live-only after-party³, in which we take questions from the chat, and get randomly silly.

¹ Technically, our producer, the inimitable and ever-youthful Donald Mustard the Third will be doing all the streaming. The rest of us are just on camera when he works his magic.
² Unless Dan picks hot sauce, in which case it’s up to me, and I pick no hot sauce.
³ There was no after-party last week. Our Twitch stream crashed last week when something in the neighborhood dragged our upload speeds waaay down. We never did figure out what it was, but we DID determine that it was happening everywhere, and not just where we were streaming, so it’s safe to say that it was not a problem with Mr. Mustard’s magic.

Barding Like a Bardy-Bard

I play Bard Odrak Ironthroat over at TypecastRPG, and in a very literally typecast manner, I’m a playing a bard who can draw. During each game session I sketch key moments, interpreting them for posterity so that the truth of our party’s epic ineptitude will be obscured by the tales our descendants tell about us.

THESE SKETCHES CAN BE YOURS

For our first giveaway, follow TypeCastRPG on Twitter or Instagram, and then give this tweet an RT and a like.

Obviously, the pictures will have more meaning for you if you’re watching us play.

Previous sessions are available on YouTube, and we’re live on Twitch every Tuesday at 9pm Eastern. As an incentive to tune in on Twitch, the live show has a live-only “after party,” in which we take questions from the chat, and get randomly silly, secure in the knowledge that THIS part won’t end up on YouTube¹.

We haven’t gotten the ArtCam to work yet (my fault – my camera had 0 HP and failed its death saves) but future feeds may show off exactly how sloppy I am as I create these cards.

Future giveaways may happen on the TypecastRPG Instagram or Facebook accounts. Your home page for all things TypecastRPG is TypecastRPG.com, where you can find links to our social media feeds, as well as helpful summaries of previous game sessions.

¹ I have it on good authority that the internet is really good at forgetting embarrassing things.

TypecastRPG, Tonight!

Watch me tonight at 9pm Eastern on Twitch! 

Tonight’s episode is the next installment of the Gods of Vaeron story, using the D&D 5e ruleset. Dan Wells is our Dungeon Master, and the players will be Natasha Ence, Mari Murdock, Charlie Holmberg, Ethan Sproat, and Howard Tayler (←me).

I’ve been experimenting a bit with sketch cards during the game sessions. It’s possible we’ll have our art cam up and running tonight. Eventually these cards will be giveaways for our Twitch subscribers. It’s possible we’ll figure THAT out tonight, too, and start putting things in the mail!
