The Nexus Battles (Round One)

Posted on August 5, 2011 by Neverending Nights

There’s more of the D&D comics to come – but I recently came across something else I had done. So way back in the days before the “Internet” (some of you can’t even imagine a world without the internet, eh?) – people used to connect to one another’s computers via BBS Software. If you’re asking yourself what the heck is a “BBS” – well, it’s a Bulletin Board System that allowed … You know what? Just read the Wiki Article of it over here.

Anyway, so back in the day, when I used to run a BBS, there was this whole idea of creating these things called “The Nexus Battles.” (The Nexus was the name of my BBS). The idea was to use Mortal Kombat characters as different users on my BBS, and make this “Story.” So it was basically the BBS meets Mortal Kombat, and how these users would be entered in a BBS version of “Mortal Kombat.” (It’s basically me, once again using someone else’s hard work, to create my own little thing… I tell you, looking back, I was clearly either destined for machinima or a life of crime…)

Anyway, while cleaning out an old photobucket account, I found most of the Nexus Battle images. So I figured, I’d share the first round of images… A lot of these deal with inside jokes – that, now over 10+ years ago – I can’t even remember…

A Long Time Ago, In A Galaxy Far, Far Away… (Part 1)

Posted on August 3, 2011 by Neverending Nights

So a long time ago, a group of us (most who have or have had parts within the Neverending Nights series) used to play Dungeons & Dragons just about every other Friday (many, many, many years ago – we were still playing 2nd Edition, if that tells you how long ago it was).

Well I have always doodled (I don’t call what I do “drawing” – which is why there’s that whole joke about the “One Eyed Elf” Drawing) – and I used to doodle in a book during the games (usually a reflection/doodle of what was happening in game, but with a funny twist – like once the DM said, “You see a band of goblins ahead” – and I drew goblins singing and playing musical instruments, and called it “A Band of Goblins”).

Anyway, because of my lack of artistic talent (but my ability to write) I decided to use the comic strip characters from “Knights of the Dinner Table” (and art) and make my own ‘comic’ using those characters. In a way, I should have seen it that I would eventually do machinima (I mean, isn’t it the same thing? Using someone else’s hard work to make your own creativity?) Anyway, I recovered almost all of the comic strips that were made (like 10+ years ago!)… and in some there’s spelling errors (the most glaring one is the one that says Congrats to Paul and Christi, for their wedding…) But anyway, figured I’d post a few at a time, while we count down and work on the final episode of Neverending Nights. In many ways, this comic strip is the prelude to my venture into machinima.
