The Campaign Builder's Guild

I'm just asking, because as it stands, I am quite bored right now.  I can't play D&D, as I do't have a group, so I ask everyone here.  Do you know of any good webcomics, online games, or other things to do on the internet that are mildly enteraining even?  I read questionable content, 8-bit, and OOTS.  but there really feels like there is nothing much for me to do right now...

Anyone?

Well, being bored is a big problem, especially when you live in the Hamptons like I do: there isn't anything to do at ALL during the winter.

I find the best thing to do to pass the time is sketch. I draw all kinds of creatures, including artwork for Raelifin's Races of Phaedoras. Don't know how that helps you with your problem, but that's what I do :)

webcomicry:
www.sluggy.com
www.schlockmercenary.com
www.scarygoround.com
www.nukees.com
www.alienlovespredator.com
www.sinfest.com
www.girlgeniusonline.com

most of those have a gigantic archive, so they could keep you a while.


umm... lessee... online games:
shadowbane is free now, i dunno if it's any fun. googling 'korean mmorpg' should find you a crapload of beta onlines.
if you're into muds, they can take some time (www.retromud.org)

muds and mmorpg should also have a nice chatroom or something, which is good for taking up time.

if you want to 'enrich'yourself, learn a programming language, like python (www.python.org), or learn some html. (www.htmldog.com). both of those will be pretty useful to know now and later.

i practice / learn webpage creation.

Oooh, I should get around to learning that sometime.

If anyone wants to see some of the stuff I do when I'm bored, here's a link:

I already know basic HTML, I took a course at school.  I proably should draw though, I'm getting better at people, and I should practice som  more anyway.

I work on what ever mechanical projects I need to complete at the time.

If you're looking for something productive to do, I would really appreciate another hand working on the mechanical aspects of my setting. Mostly I need someone to toss ideas past and also to get some ideas I haven't thought of from. Right now I really need help deciding which mechanical aspects will best fit the flavor of my setting.

Read VG Cats (www.vgcats.com) or Penny Arcade (www.penny_arcade.com) if you like video games.

I know what I do when I'm bored.

I come here. ;)

Haha amen to that. :)

Currently, I'm playing a lot of Diablo II when I'm bored, with Family Guy DVDs running in the background.

I still don't understand why people like Diablo II, nor why it's "addictive". I played it for two weeks, went, "this sucks," and never touched it again... :(

Besides, D&D is the ultimate RPG substitute: you can make any game out of it :)

I go thru phases with that game.  This is literally the 4th time I've installed it on my computer and become addicted.  I'm sure I'll be bored with it again in a few weeks, but it really is pretty fun for mindless zombie-slaying.

oh yeah...

free 3d modeller. pretty good, as far as a non-artist can tell.
i worked 1/2way thru the tutorial and had a robot going, and havent had time to work more on it.

I just read all of schlock mercenarys' archives, and the last strip.  that's right, fear my boredom, I just read 5 and then some years of webcomics.  Bow before my wasted life!

dude, if you read all that in a day then frankly i can't help you. ;)
