10/9/07 Thomar's on hiatus, serving a mission for the LDS church in Omaha, Nebraska. Check back November 2009! 5/14/07 ...And that's why college sucks. Sorry about the long delay, Thomar should be tidying things up around here for the next couple of days. Mario D20 has been updated. Repeatedly. Thomar didn't really see any point in posting updates here, but it's been padded by about fifty pages. Thomar quit the Zelda RPG project figuring it was better to leave sooner rather than later. However, it was a valuable learning experience and helped with several key points on the Mario D20 document. The Hit Die Progressions got updated too. The webcomic is pretty much stopped, but definitely not dead. Thomar just decided he'd take the time to find someone who can actually draw and do the characters justice. When it starts up again, it'll happen here. Thomar also got a 9 to 5 job and is expecting to go on hiatus sometime in the next few months, so don't expect weekly updates or anything. So... This guy named Aaron Bishop made a pretty neat Nethack-ish game, except it's all in 3D. Go check it out, it's totally free and if you're feeling really generous you can have the joy of actually paying for it. 9/12/06 The site now has a pretty background that took 5 minutes to make in the GIMP. At this rate, we'll have a good-looking site around... Next November. Thomar's running a play-by-post game based on Nethack. Maybe you could go check it out or something... The Hit Die Progressions got updated. Thomar fixed a few mechanical problems, typos, and made it a bit more flexible. The Zelda D20 mirrors got updated, and the equipment document is finally in there. Thomar would like to thank Da'Vane for his valuable contributions to the project, and let him know that he is sorely missed. And all of the comics that got put on DA have been moved onto the site. There's a new comic being worked on, but who knows when that will be done... 8/24/06 For those of you who still look at this site, Mario D20 got updated. 7/8/06 Thomar is sincerely sorry about the lack of an update. He no longer lives thirty seconds away from the webserver, and updating the website has become an arduous ordeal. The webcomic is now entirely hosted and updated on Thomar's DeviantArt account, and will not be regularly updated here. MD20 got a bunch of new material, and now has the Piranha Plant as the golden standard for a monster statted out at four power levels. Also more spells from the original Mario RPG, another template (or six), a few more monsters, some racial feats, and written descriptions for all of the races. And finally, a movie review! Pirates of the Caribbean 2 was an awesome movie, even more fantastic and swashbuckling than the original. What was surprising was the large amount of action scenes which were not computer-generated, and that the movie's soundtrack carried it quite well. Thomar predicts some sweet pirate-on-ninja/assassin action in the third movie. It's worth seeing unless you hated or didn't watch the first movie.

The Kobold's Keep is a website (if you didn't know that, please leave before you get stupid on Thomar's server). More specifically, it's a gaming website. The MD20 System is Thomar's first solo project, and it's still a work in progress. It's intended to bring the spirit of Mario RPG, Paper Mario, and Mario & Luigi to the tabletop. Thomar does the whole thing. The whole, freaking thing, using only bottle caps, toothpicks, cocktail napkins, and a can of pencils. The drive for this project is loyalty to gamers, so bug Thomar if you want something specific done or statted out. The Legend of Zelda RPG is hosted here. Comments and feedback should go to the group's forums. The Kobold's Keep Webcomic is a 100% original sprite comic, and currently dead. Thomar makes all his stuff using OpenOffice and GIMP because he has no budget. He would give it fancy formatting and pictures if he had a budget, but, alas, he does not. Thomar's only compensation for maintaining this site and its content is good vibes and karma, so please contact him and let him know what you think! |
