Cinematic to comic

Has anyone else thought of doing this? Warcraft Cinematics are hard (in my experience) to capture and share around as digital media for those who (shame on them) do not have TFT installed. After spending 100 hours or more retelling a Dungeons & Dragons role playing game I had with my son and his friend as a TFT cinematic I put it in comic book form so as to email it to other friends. Here are the first 4 pages:

haha cool. i love it. :D

i'll rate it! 9/10. terrain should have been better and i think i don't like the story.

Thanks D P. 9/10 is more than enough. Perhaps when I finish the next four pages I'll post them as well. The story is unfinished (so is the game) but it has got quite a lot further than that. When does a D&D game ever finish. Does anyone ever play them now that WoW has come to pass? Gilfred is a halvling, by the way, a character not readily available in Warcraft, but I was able to modify his stature.

heh. hope to see more of it. :)

and i hope i can see it to the finish.

This looks pretty cool! I reckon it'd be fun to make one of these, I take a shot at one as well when I'm done with the map I'm currently workin' on.

Thanks again D P.

I am now working on the next four pages

I sent you a P M explaining that I need help understanding this site.
Your terraining is awesome (I just visited your gallery) and you seem to know a lot about the sort of problems I am having with triggers for RPG.

Could you help me out a bit?

How does reputation work?

Clever.....very clever...

good idea, except the way they talk, doesn't match warcraft 3 at all. so, all i will say is, make they're talking... more wc3ish

Well Aoe (Age of Empires I presume?) I am an oldish chap (53) and I started out in fantasy games before Warcraft 3. As I said, this cinematic is based on a Dungeons and Dragons game, so I am using Warcraft as a way of illustrating another story. All my warcraft games are set in my own imaginary realm, Sunarbor, and the elf and halfling character in this story are low level D&D characters. W3 does build on D&D, as D&D built on Tolkein. Much as I like the W3 perception of orcs as a brave and honourable race (after all there are no baddies in the real world) D&D orcs are usually evil, or at least chaotic, and thats the way they are in my campaigns.

All this feedback has got me working on the comic again, it is a bit labour intensive, as was the cinematic itself.

Hey this is very good. I like it especially considering the amount of effort it takes to get the shots right and the editing involved in the comic. Hope to see more soon.

And btw, reputation is sort of a rewards/punishment system. How to use it? Well, you see the scale thing beside my post number on the right side of my post? Click on it and click submit again. There you go, you've just given me rep:P (Kidding, save it for a person who really deserves the good/bad rep). How much reputation you have also influences how much rep you can give/take off someone whenver you add.

Works something like that if I'm not mistaken..
