Adventures in Monopoly

In last week’s episode of Adventures in Monopoly, Scottie made his way back from the Old European Monopoly set over a vast cardboard ocean in the hold of a Lego pirate ship. To the shock and amazement of his friends, though, he appeared healthy and very much alive, though he had been killed during Bear’s coup d’etat. Scottie was reluctant to say much until he heard Bear complaining about something in the distance. And then Scottie became very much interested. ...

All this next week will be back to regular adventures in regular MMOs. This comic just forced itself to be written, so what could I do? I’m weak, I admit it. Poem is in many ways similar to Coleridge’s “Rime of the Ancient Mariner”. The font used is RPG Script and was donated for general use by Bad Gods’ Lore Sjöberg, so for those people who wonder what you can get out of Twitter, hey, the occasional free font. ...

I was working on the next Adventures in Monopoly comic, and thought it would be fun to show how I created the first panel. I wanted a boat going over an ocean, and I wanted the ocean to be a game board. I couldn’t find any good ocean game boards at Toys R Us despite all the wonderful ideas given by people on Twitter, so I decided I would make my own in Photoshop and render it for extra realism in a 3D ray tracer, POVRay. ...

Undoubtedly due to the recent upturn in Monopoly fandom due to Adventures in Monopoly, none other than Ridley Scott of “Black Rain” and “Legends” fame is planning on directing a big-screen adaptation of “Monopoly”. He has not yet contacted me on how I could work with him to write a mind-blowing Monopoly script, but I will keep you all up to date.

The story thus far: After an attempted coup that leaves him imprisoned, Bear escapes and rounds up a gang of ne’er-do-well tokens and takes over the entire board in a legendary crime wave that leaves trusting and lovable Scottie dead. Scottie’s friends Car and Hat, following their friend’s wishes, took his body to Germany and buried it in Frei Parken and said a mysterious, ancient Latin prayer over his body. When night fell, Scottie rose from his grave, darker, evil, thinking only of revenge. ...

The End… OR IS IT!?

Tomorrow, Part III: What are Car and Hat up to during all this?

Big thank you to Danshir for some inspiration :)
