One more set of character designs before I upload my player’s character sheets!

Here we have from left to right:

Herman Merrywheather, the founder and owner of Merry Island, and Shannon, the Ferryman that transports guests to the island itself.

Introducing, the Bell family, our protagonists.

From left to right we have: Calvin ‘Junior’ Bell (Age 7)

Christine ‘Chris’ Bell (Age 16)

Calvin Bell (Age 35)

Thomas Bell (Would be Age 6)

This story takes place in the middle 1970s, so I did a lot of research on what people were wearing during that time, and what kind of handmedowns Chris would receive from her grandparents. I also took heavy inspiration for the art style from cartoons from that era as well.

Not very long ago, I ran a tabletop game using the Dread system, with a story written by Kyle Evans from dreadtower.com called ‘Carnival of Dread’.

I have never been prouder of myself as a DM, and I was also very proud of my players, who did such an amazing job giving their roles a real life to them.

While the story is not fully mine, I believe my friends and I made a fantastic story with the lovely frame work Kyle Evans created. And I wanted to share that.

So I will be telling it via web comic

I will post as much as I can. And I hope you all enjoy it.

Prior to releasing the first page, I will be releasing character art and the character sheets my friends filled out.

For those not familiar with the Dread system of tabletop gaming, I recommend going to dreadtower.com as your first stop

Again, credit for the base story goes to Kyle Evans.
