Link of the *insert random time unit*

One of my many daily do's is checking up on the list of webcomics I've amased. Some are good, some are funny, some I wonder why I keep reading.

A while ago I stumbled upon Looking For Group. The creative team behind this comic is better known from the webcomic Least I Could Do. I had been following LICD for about a year now nad I must admit I was pleasantly uprised by it. At first glance it seems like your standard Gag-A-Day comic. But after reading it for a while, you notice that the characters actually have more depth than first expected. One of the boldest moves lately in LICD was announcing that they were going to let the chracters age and develop.
So I went into LFG with pretty high expectations and I wasn't let down. I can't really say anything about the plot as it's still devolping but some very memorable things have happened. The characters seem well-fleshed out, best examples being Cal, the good elf dealing with the fact that he should be evil en Richard, who is the origin of several one-liners such as, 'For Pony'.
Add this to the fact that they keep making references to some of my favourite fantasy books (such as wheel of time and sword of truth) and you get a pretty good comic.
The only downside is that they only update twice a week (which i can't blame them for it, a full page in colour takes time), this sometimes makes me forget what was happening.

Introduction

Welcome to the first post on my little blog-thingy-ish thing.
What can you expect from this blog:
Roleplay comments, everything from my latest campaign to how cool my newest character is.
Spelling mistakes, they be many and fruitful.
Interresting links, not all may be healthy for your sanity.
Stories, pen is mightier than the sword, in my case I don't stand a chance with either.
The art of the posting of pictures, I'm probably going to spare you the agony of my own drawings and just post some of other people and neglect to mention that they're not mine.
Various other stuffs, pretty much anything that strikes my fancy, which could in theory be a two week long lecture on the complex technique with which I flick rubber bands.

This is not my first blog, I used to have another one which died for two main reasons:
- Me being lazy and not feeling like posting.
- Me getting annoyed with the providor behind my blog, which kept changing the way it always the adding of pictures on a daily basis, forced me to post in Dutch and for some reason deleted some of my posts on a regular basis for some obscure censoring reason.

But I'm going to try to keep this one alive as long as possible, but there's a chance this blog is doomed for a slow and excruciating death.
