Thieves Can't

Hey everyone!

No comic this week. We were pushing to get our first splat book of the year out. This is up on Patreon already for all of our supporters (at any level) as a thank-you for your consistent support. You guys help us a ton, and motivate us to branch out with our art and stories.

If you ever backed us on Kickstarter, these files will be added to both Kickstarter campaigns as an update (and an Issue 2 update will be coming soon after.)

For anyone else, there are two ways to grab these minis.

The first is on our store here on the Thieves Can’t Store, where you contribute directly off our light bill.

The second is on the DM Guild, where the powers-that-be take a cut, but where you can leave reviews. This helps us a lot too, since purchases on the DM Guild help expose our stuff to new people.

If you end up printing and using these paper minis, please take pictures and show us on our social media — we’re on Instagram and Twitter (@YesThievesCan), reddit (r/thievescant) and Facebook. And naturally, if you have any problems with the minis, please let us know ASAP.

We’ll see you guys early next week with a new comic!

Let me tell you about our normal writing process – how the pork intestines of D&D turns into the breakfast sausage of our comics.

Zach and I play separate games of D&D. He plays with his friends and I play with mine. Then we talk about D&D and what made it funny, and then one of us (usually me) distills that down into a rough script. We go back and forth on the script until we like it. Then Zach draws it, I letter it, and it’s done.

I want to step the writing quality up and that means a change in process. We are building a module out of which we will both play D&D and write our scripts, so that rather than an amalgamation of TTRPG experiences. We are taking a small hiatus to build up the world around our new space-fairing heroes and release it as both comics and as a playable adventure.

See you soon!
