I completed my first hardcore ascension (well, my first ascension ever) last night! Started pastamancer as a teetotaler, mysticality sign again. I drank so little this run I figured may as well go for teetotaler. I'm out of adventures now though, and rather bored.

awwww.....spend more time in clan chat!

Congrats on your hardcore ascension! I haven't had the nerve to take one of the other paths. I'm stalling on this run to get the familiar weight trophies and the sex change trophy.

I wish I had done the familiar weight trophies my first ever run. I was so close. I took my volleyball this time, but I'm missing my GPOAS.

Announcement:

The Kingdom of Loathing
An Adventurer is You!

KoL at Comic Con!For the first time ever, Asymmetric Publications is going to take a stab at shameless self-promotion! (The self-promotion part is new, the shamelessness isn't.) Despite their best efforts to make the process impossible (we think they've been using some kind of time machine to send us forms about a week after they're due) we'll have a booth at the San Diego Comic Con, July 20-23. We are going to be in Booth #1017 (whatever that means). Come see us, hang out, and maybe get some nifty stuff!

Jick and Mr. Skullhead will be about... Meet them! Have them sign your... souvenir program?
We'll be debuting some new T-shirt designs... Gnaugas! Hot pink disco banditas!
We'll be displaying (though probably not selling yet) some tiny plastic figurines... Bugbears, saber-toothed limes, and more!
The Pretentious Artist will also be selling his wares (t-shirts and a new line of tiny plastics)!
You can snag a free copy of "KoL the Home Game" -- an elaborate 16-page choose-your-own-adventure!
We'll also be giving away some small in-game souvenirs to anybody who comes to visit us. Shameless!
Extra exclamation points! Just for you!
And last, but not least, hot booth girls! And, uh, hot booth guys, too!

If you've never been, Comic Con is really, really cool. I mean, it's cool even if you have been, but that's beside the point. It's more than just comic books -- exhibitors from all kinds of other genres of things show up: video games, toys, internet sites, TV shows, books, movies, independent artists, and so on. Some folks get dressed up as their favorite characters, and at times you feel like you are in the Mos Eisley Cantina. (Han shot first, y'know.) Besides the exhibitors, there are tons of panel discussions, demos, and whatnot. It's really fun. Last year Skully met Joss Whedon and Seth Green. Just sayin'.

We'll make an effort to keep y'all updated with any more information that comes our way. (But, given the whole time-machine-nefariousness, that means we'll likely make an update some time in August.) Hope to see you there!

Awww, I wish I could go. The guy that does Dinosaur comics will be there too.

Ponine · 07-03-2006, 09:18 AM

I'm there entirely too long, and if there's something you want signed I can get it.

WB, it sounds as if KoL will bein the small press area or the artists alley. Why I cant remember I dont know. I'll check out the map.

tracilicious · 07-03-2006, 10:39 AM

Aw, thanks Ponine! I can't think of anything I want signed, but feel free to have someone pretend they are me so I can get the in-game prize.

Ponine · 07-03-2006, 10:55 AM

No, no, I meant the Dinsoaur comics thing....

We are in Artist's Alley, table BB10. All the AA tables have that sort of designation. I don't know about Small Press, but the KOL # looks like a regular booth to me. The map we were given just shows our area of the hall, but it looks (from the numbering) like the KOL booth is waaaay over at the other end! Still, I will try to stop by, if I can get away!

ETA: I really REALLY want a toy sabretoothed lime!
