The Slayers


From the serious and dramatic of D&Disms, we go into the comedic of D&Disms.  The Slayers is an Anime that is a send up of Dungeons and Dragons.  Honestly, with the dramatic Dungeons and Dragons cartoon in the mid 1980s and the Record of Lodoss War anime series we D&D gamers need something to help us laugh at our favorite game.

Just like the famous video where the player says: "Are there any girls there?" The Slayers  pretty much takes it over the top and combines silly slapstick humor with dangerous situations in a good formula.  The series follows the adventures of Lina Inverse and her companions as they find adventure and misadvanture in a D&D World, and fight and cast spells in over the top situations.


It's hard not to laugh at the exploits of the Slayers.  Especially if you play Dungeons and Dragons.  Even when people fail their spell checks for casting a spell, the results can be humorous.  If you are a serious Dungeons and Dragons player and you can't handle people criticizing the official 4th Edition from WotC, then you need a break and you need to watch The Slayers.  You need to laugh at your favorite game and realize that those who criticize the 4th Edition of the game have their feelings to vent. 

The Episodes can be watched through Funimation or Hulu.

The Dragon Wife comic!


Imagine being at once confident over knowing who you really are and then thrust into a situation where you lose control of your life because of your wife?  The Dragon Wife comic idea came out of the DAZ 3D forums and one member's remark.

Set in the world of Galatea, Elton (yes, named after me) had it made.  A powerful and young up and coming shaper, he was personable and charismatic.  He had friends all over Galatea and the Caithness Isles, and some beyond that besides.  Even the orc warrior Greywulf had called him friend.  Well, that is until the Lord of Nottingham sent him on a quest to slay the Dragon that was inhabiting an old monastery for slaughtering the local livestock.

He found the dragon Fyreheart, who begged and begged him not to kill her since she was innocent of the crimes.  Besides, she only hunts wild game (and the occasional cattle who had lost their ways).  Believing her, he goes to find out what had really happened.  It seems that a band of raiders had done the deed.  Bringing them to justice, he returns to Fyreheart who is overjoyed that her honor and her life was saved.

Also, his life has changed forever since poor Elton is now stuck with Fyreheart, FOREVER!!  She says that she is eternally in his debt and wants to marry him!  How in the world is this possible?  Gasping, our hero is thrust into a world where his life goes out of control because of his dragonness wife.

Supported by his friend Greywulf the Orc Warrior, he tries to keep his dragon wife a secret from the Lord of Nottingham and his inquisitive Wizard -- Doctor Dancey.  Follow their misadventures!  This is going to be a fun ride!

What if we chose our World Leaders this way?

What if our politicians actually raced for top spots in the Country?
