Happy new year 2025! Hope you can achieve nice things this next year, and leave behind troubles and bad stuff!

** OK, it's official: I only put things on the Internets for New Year. **

Recently I made a new year's resolution, to kick away all the overwork and have time for myself and my stuff.

During these holidays I've been learning a bit of Eleventy and preparing the new website where to put all drawings and things. As soon as I have it ready I'll put in my site [www.maiuscomics.com], because YES, I'm old and I still pay for my own hosting, and I code it in HTML. Once built, I'll resume posting JRS stuff (I have some comics waiting in the eternal queue of lost web-comics).

Also, I'm thinking to open a BlueSky account and close the Twitter (D.E.P.) one, but before I need a "policy" to avoid doom-scrolling and FOMO.

Anyway, I'm still around, and trying to get out of the "pit of despair" (Just when I think I'm out, they drag me back in!) to post new stuff.

So, have a happy entrance into 2025, and hope to talk to you back again very soon!

And I'm still around...

And finally, I found a moment to draw and post stuff again!

I have in the "ready to release" queue a few JRS comics, and lots of drafts of things, BUT THE EFFING WALL IN FRONT OF ME DIDN'T ALLOW ME TO PROCEED! Recently I renounced to an "important" work position, keeping me troubled with crap I didn't care anymore, keeping me away from enjoying anything during these last... two years? Finally I reached the limit and quit such position, to focus on what I really enjoy in my job. (But until things are written in paper, there's always the danger to be dragged back again to the pit! So now my duty is to be cautious for the next months...)

I usually drew a "Happy New Year" doodle and post it here (also on Twitter, that I left time ago and set some distance between doom-scrolling and myself). But this new year I won't, as I'm still recovering some energy and patience. For the moment, I'll just limit myself to exist around and watch all your doodles.

So, my dear people here, for those who stayed around, those who lately arrived, and those who just like to pass by, have a Happy New Year 2024! :)

See you soon, El Pitiflí

The Sixtoe Stand (Part 2) - Illustrations from the following sessions of the campaign, from the 6th towards the ending. The vagabond adventurers could solve (most of) the trouble at the village, being able to avoiding the fateful resolution for the Ochrepaws and Snouts, suspecting always of Bernadette (poor dear), without the village ending on fire and without having to run for their lives at the end.

Therefore, more fan-art of the RPG sessions here, with what happened (without spoilers) in the mountain village for the second half of the adventure. Next adventure: The Coolclaw Mines! (Another of the adventures in the RootRPG Clearings Book.)

Pst! You can find all the stuff also in my website https://www.maiuscomics.com/sensetomaquet

Have a nice End of the Year, and Happy New Year 2024! :D

The Sixtoe Stand - Illustrations from the 4 first sessions of the campaign. The discovery of a town in despair at the end of the forest with fox heroes, a wolf threat, odd couples and dangerous bunny miners.

(This is one of the Root RPG campaigns of the Clearing Book)

Pst! You can find all the stuff also in my website https://www.maiuscomics.com/sensetomaquet

Have a good Sunday! :D

Next Adventure in The Sixtoe Stand

After the events in Hookfoot Bog, the heroes are captured by a nemesis, but escape thanks to the help of an old friend (new player in the adventure). They end in the Sixtoe Stand, a village under siege by a wolf pack, also with internal turmoil between foxes, bunnies and crows.

This is the “Guide of Characters” we are keeping for the last 7 sessions (we're still playing it). I display this visual guide to the players with the characters initially shaded, and then reveal them as the heroes meet each one.

Note: the Sixtoe Stand is an adventure from the “Root: The RPG - Clearing Booklet”, like the Hookfoot Bog. Check them at Magpie Games (the publisher).

(BTW, you can check these contents in my illustration blog: www.maiuscomics.com/sensetomaquet )

Bye everyone!

Also, one of the players asked for extra depictions of One-Legged Sal, one of the main NPCs of the campaign (Root RPG, The Hookfoot Bog).

Now, have a nice sleep everyone :)

Adventures in Hookfoot Bog (Part 4)

The last two sessions of Hookfoot Bog, where the heroes (players) deal with the bad guys, and sh*t hits the fan. The bog is on fire, and they must make fast decisions to save as much people as they can.

Seen here, the recap fan-art of episodes (sessions) 9 and 10 of “The Hookfoot Bog” (Root RPG).

Good night! :D

[pitifli]

Adventures in Hookfoot Bog (Part 3)

[Recap from early 2023] The heroes collaborate with the guards, detaining One-Legged Sal's Band, creating an imbalance of power in the Marquisate occupation government ranks.

Seen here, the recap fan-art of episodes (sessions) 6, 7 and 8 of “The Hookfoot Bog” (Root RPG).

Episode 6: Ambush in the Warehouse

Episode 7: Time-out for Sal

Episode 8: Regaining Power

...And that's it for today! Next time, the last sessions of our Hookfoot Bog campaign.

BTW, you can find all the stuff also in my website https://www.maiuscomics.com/sensetomaquet

Have a good evening! :D

Adventures in Hookfoot Bog (Part 1)

[Recap from 2022] So far, the adventurers (Ellora the Badger and Quinn the Wolf) had put themselves in interesting situations.

Instead of relating the sessions (it is extremely boring to hear someone else’s RPG game), I’m going to upload the game fan-art I did from our characters. With the first issue, episodes 1 and 2 of “The Hookfoot Bog”.

Episode 1: Choosing Sides

Episode 2: Saving the Kitten

Adventure in the The Hookfoot Bog

I didn’t do much illustrations for our first Root-RPG adventure we did (the Pellenicky Glade). But for the second adventure, the Hookfoot Bog, I started to illustrate the sessions, to be published soon.

This is the “Guide of Characters” we kept during the 10 sessions it lasted. They began shadowed, so characters were appearing as the players met them. That way, the players could remember every NPC and relate them together, trying to solve the different missions they were given in the bog.

Note: the Hookfoot Bog is an adventure from the “Clearing Booklet”, and the Pellenicky Glade is an adventure from the Starting Booklet. You can buy them and play them with your friends!

Bye everyone!

Hello everybody! It's been long time since I was around!

Just a hundred million years ago I left the Internets, running away from the stupid feeling that I was wasting my real-life-time. Also, at that time (winter 2022) that infra-being of E.M. started buying Twitter, and I read that as the signal to just go away.

And then, I fell into the dark pit of the Role-Play games.

For the last two years I've been playing DnD games, really intense Alien RPG games, and mastering a Root-RPG one. (I lost the count of campaigns in DnD, and now we're in the 3rd Root campaign).

The image above is the reference sheet for the first Root-RPG campaign "Pellenicky Glade". Ellora the Arbiter (Badger), Quinn the Ranger (Wolf) and Scratch the Scoundrel (Cat) must solve the assassination of Alton Goshawk, the mayor of Pellenicky, while dodging the political intrigues of the clearing. [We spent 16 sessions of 2 hours for my players to finish it in a glorious way.]

I'll start uploading the different images from the adventure, also from the following campaigns we're in right now.

Finally, I plan to upload new comics, illustrations and JRS stuff (my webcomic that I'll update some day) in my website maiuscomics.com and "replicate" them here (and maybe the remains of Twitter).

People, I know that almost nobody reads this, but... it feels good to be back around in Tumblr :_)

[pitifli]

I’m back around...! (Ehem... Is this on? Are you all still there, dear Tumblrs? Everyone still resisting here?) ... I’m back around to wish you Happy New Year 2023! I hope you all stay safe and keep doing amazing stuff!

(The drawing is just fan-art from the Root RPG characters and campaigns I’m DM-ing recently. Yep, I’m that kind of person...)

Soon I’ll resume stuff and drawings, mainly from my blog to the SNs, so you all can check.

See you around!

[pitifli]

Hop! Another JRS strip for all of you!

Have a nice evening :D

Preparations (Part 2) – Hello again! Here’s another strip :D

(I just want to say that “The IT Crowd” is one of the best modern TV shows I watched, and love every bit from there)

[pitifli]

Another week, another strip!

Have a good evening :D

Preparations (Part 1) – Here we are, after having this new strip ready, describing real stuff… more or less… Bill appeared with a robe and a ZIP Drive in his neck, bringing the stuff.

We keep going towards FestaFIB!

[pitifli]

HOP! I’m back, for all you people here resisting at Tumblr.

Here’s some Johnny and Steffy. Good evening everyone :D

Exploding Bunnies – Hello hello! I’m back after 1) vacations, 2) many work, and 3) being sick with covid. How are things going? I hope you had a good new year season, and you’ll be already thinking in Easter holidays!

Meanwhile, here’s Johnny and Steffy!

[pitifli]

Senyores i Senyors, Ladies and Gentlement, for all of you of the resistance here at Tumblr, have all a happy new year 2022!!! I hope for things to improve for everyone and everywhere, do lots of arts, start new adventures and hobbies, and stay safe!

(I haven’t been posting JRS for a while, as for personal problems I couldn’t draw much... I hope that after winter holidays I can retake JRS and new drawings and stuff!)

See you all!
