Penny for your thoughts?

August 21st, 2009, 11:50 am by Jayson Peters

Gabe from Penny Arcade (aka Mike Krahulik) has posted a cleaner version of his cover art for the upcoming D&D book Player’s Strategy Guide than has been floating around the Interwebz since the title was announced last week at Gen Con:

The piece is a wraparound, so we’re only seeing the front cover here.

The artist speaks:

I was really surprised that they asked me to do this. All the D&D book covers have such a strong and classic aesthetic. I was nervous about doing the cover because my style doesn’t really match up with the rest of the books, but they assured me they wanted this particular book to have a different/distinctive look.

A Cardboard Tube Samurai sketch I got from Gabe at Comic-Con.

The creators of Penny Arcade, Tycho and Gabe (A.K.A Jerry Holkins and Mike Krahulik) , the widely accepted kings of web comics were recently honored by the senate and house of their home state of Washington. The duo were applauded for the attention and publicity they bring to the gaming industry in the greater Seattle area via the comic strip and their gaming convention, Penny Arcade Expo, which in a few short years, has become the largest public gaming con in the country.

They were also singled out for their self-created charity, Child’s Play, which donates toys, video games and gaming equipment to children’s wards in hospitals all over the country. The charity has raised almost five million dollars in cash, games and other items for hospitalized kids. How can you not appreciate that? Read the rest of this entry »

Get your first look at D&D 4th Edition

June 6th, 2008, 9:00 am by Jayson Peters


PENNY ARCADE

Today is the release date for the new Dungeons & Dragons game, and Saturday game stores worldwide will quake with the rolling of 20-sided dice as free demonstrations launch the fourth edition.

I wrote a little about the game in today’s Tribune, and I recently blogged about the demo that I’ll be hosting at Bookmans Phoenix from 9:30 a.m. to noon Saturday, courtesy of Wizards of the Coast.

The guys at gamer Web comics Penny Arcade and PvP recently sat down with one of the new edition’s designers in what was, for many of them, a first experience with D&D. You can hear the results in weekly, illustrated installments of the official D&D podcast (strong language and funny sketch alert).
