Whelp, I done did it: come full circle into the Nerdiness after years of playing RPGs -- I've made one of those table-top adventures.

It's called "Night of the Cyber-Vampires", a schlocky 80s-Sci/Fi-Horror styled adventure for pretty much any RPG system. I did all the writing, the layout and illustration for this one, and can proudly say no AI was used.

Premise: You and your buddies play a group of mercs hired to bodyguard a wild rocker-girl named Raven, who has been poisoned by a cult of cybernetically altered "vampires" -- you need to transport her through town and get her to safety before the poison transforms her into...something else...

Night of the Cyber-Vampires by [email protected]

Rescue a wayward Rocker-Girl from a cult-gang of cyborg vampires before she completes her transformation...

Not a nerd? Maybe you know a nerd who would dig this - makes the perfect Christmas gift (for them lol - not you, because you're cool and good lookin'). Let me know what you think!

It was an absolute blast making this and running this for my friends - special thanks to you all who helped me playtest this, probably under different title at the time. I can definitely see making more of these down the line, but now that I got my new drawing tablet, it's time to get back to making comics for a short bit (New D13 coming soon!)

Thanks all, and hope you're having a great holiday season so far.

Hey everyone! Just wanted to let you know that I have started a new #webcomic named District 13; "Cyberpunk meets Sanford and Son", a sci-fi thriller/comedy about a smooth-talker named Sway and his Uncle Atticus [a brilliant techie], stuck on a industrial hell-planet on the edge of Corporate Space.

I will try to update twice a month with a few pages/mini-story arcs. You can find more comics here at https://www.district13comic.com/

Please like and share to help this comic grow! More to come soon.

One of the many reasons why the 90s was the best decade in recent history.

Now, this was a blast to work on. I illustrated these for a youtube streaming show that plays alot of Cyberpunk TTRPGs (CyberNation Uncensored, go check em out, especially if you want to get into the table top game).

Imagine this crew showing up in your small, Icewind Dale town. A group shot I illustrated of our Rime of the Frostmaiden run. We were a whacky crew.

Sister Shadow is the first monk (Way of Shadow) I've played in a dnd5e game. Not your typical monk, she loved to shop and wanted a life of luxury and fun -- she was a blast to play, and I hope I get to play her again, someday.

Here's an illustration I did of one of my old characters, Roy Masters, a nobleman and private investigator for one of the many dnd I games I've played in the past. It was so much fun to roleplay as him -- basically just pretending to be Billy D Williams, hamming it up all the time just to make everyone laugh at the table. Was Masters a good PI? Ehhh..,jury is still out on that one, maybe i will play him again in a future game.

Some old #digitalpainting #illustrations of our #dnd5e group I did a long time ago, back when I did more painting. Our group still meets up over Roll20 now that some of us have moved away, but lemme tell ya, nothing beats hangin with you buddies around a table, pizza, beer, rolling dice n laughing.

I got my Wednesday gaming group to play a one-shot of #Cyberpunkred, a kind of Battle of the Heavy Metal bands where we needed a judge NPC -- they came up with this guy here, "Dickface". It's so funny, as a GM or Storyteller, you can spend hours coming up with a NPC that you think is cool, but then some throw-away NPC becomes your players' favorite person ever.

First 7 pages of my comic, D13. Or District 13. Or Metro: District 13. I dunno, title is still working, but for now I am leaning toward short and sweet. D13 is basically Sanford and Son meets Cyberpunk; a kind of cozy, low-stakes urban sci-fi -- the story centers on a Sway and his Uncle Scrapper ("Unc" for short) who come to a forgotten city on a some back-water corporate hell planet to solve a corporate conspiracy and find out what exactly happened to his parents, who were once high-paid executives. Part mystery, part comedy, part sci-fi "Fish out of Water" story.

After about a year of quietly working away at this, I'm happy to say that I am finally on track to getting part 1 finished; drawing, inking, and coloring took a long time, but ultimately, the writing and re-writing has been the biggest time sink! I can't tell ya'll how many times I re-wrote and re-drew panels.

For now, I am wrapping up the coloring on the final 13 pages [20ish pages total for part 1], then I get the website up, post it, and be well under way with the artwork for part 2, which will have regular updates on the site -- I want to get this point by the end of the year and finally get this thing going!

A punk street artist with a bat and a coupla' cool corpos to use in your #cyberpunk games. Really wanted to show some more people of color in Cyberpunk, although my bald punk doesn't really telegraph her ethnicity much -- the sci-fi genre just works for inclusivity and representation better than the typically used Euro-centric fantasy setting that studios try to awkwardly jam POC's into (not saying it cant be done well, I just find it's often not)

These character sketches are also for another big project I've been working on (slowly putting together pieces for board game that will eventually will try to kickstart, eventually).

I did this comic a few years ago, based off a story that I heard when living in Detroit, MI -- the story *may* have been tied to the rapper Big Sean, but dont quote me on that.

District 13 has been a White Whale for me in that, quietly, persistently, I have been trying to get pages done. This is a very rough draft, but essentially, it's a cyberpunk comedy, a "gentle cyberpunk" mixed with Sanford and Son.

I have about 20ish pages, and this year my goal is launch this webcomic and get a Patreon started.

Fingers crossed!

I put together this little one-sheet to commemorate my group's first "season" of game-play. We played the #cyberpunkred tabletop RPG with the 2077 Mission Kit add-ons, and we had an absolute blast!

Our crew consisted of a Nomad named Wheelzard, a French Net-Runner named Noir, and a foppish Media named McAllister. The crew get involved in a corpo plot to unearth some old tech from the Unification War that was buried under a poor neighborhood in Santo Domingo. In the end, they flee into the Badlands after stealing the very tech that the megacorps were gunning for, and not only that, McAllister's news article really gave that evil corp a black eye.

I've been running and GMing games for almost 20 years at this point, and lately I have just NOT been feeling the colorful, sappy-sweet fantasy stuff that is popular in High Fantasy and DND -- I want to my stories to deal with kicking The Man right in the ass!

I used Illustrator to mock these pages up -- I would usually use InDesign for page layouts, but really, anything under 3 pages I tend to stick with Illustrator with.

More to come! Comics, doodles, commissions, and maybe some more of these "One-Sheet Recaps" from my Cyberpunk solo play journaling I've gotten into.
