Anyway, here's one of the first things I want to share...Doxy, Urgent Care Cleric and Fight On!.
When I first discovered the OSR, I thought Fight On! magazine was just about the coolest thing going. Around that time, I had an idea for an RPG-themed comic strip (Doxy, Urgent Care Cleric) and was lucky enough to find an awesome artist (Kelvin Green) to team up with me for contribution to the fanzine. I had stuff printed in issues 10-14 (although one of the comics was pretty much all Kelvin...can't say I earned that byline at all)...a comic in each, and a short article in the last issue about a science fantasy RPG campaign premise (working as agents of a modern organization known as the CROwN - this also featured awesome artwork from Kelvin, btw).
If you dig old school roleplaying, there's probably a lot you'll like in Fight On! Although it seems to have faded away around 2015, the magazine's website can still be found here, and its Lulu store is here. Also, issue #14 didn't seem to make it to the site, but its RPG.net announcement can be found here.
Kelvin has posted a number of Doxy episodes over on his creative works site. The art and good jokes are his, the lame jokes are mine.
Also, for whatever it's worth, I had no idea of the meaning of the word doxy when I came up with the name. I actually just liked it because it often gets used as shorthand for the antibiotic doxycycline, and I thought it sounded like a silly name for a cleric. I guess I was right.

We should have done more of these!
ReplyDeleteNever too late! I think Doxy still has legs. Or at least the capability to regrow them if they're destroyed.
