The Witch and the Rose
The Witch and the RoseThe Rose House, a Victorian relic in the quaint college town of Parrish Mills, harbors a dark secret. A malevolent spirit haunts its halls, and seeks to claim the home’s newest owner, young professor Riley Whittaker. Riley seeks the aid of the enigmatic Mia Graves, a captivating witch with a mysterious past. Only Mia can stand against the vengeful spirit's spectral grip and the lingering enigma of Lila Rose, another ethereal resident of the haunted mansion. In a dance between danger and desire, Mia must unravel her own darkness to save Riley from the clutches of the supernatural.
Super Awesome Action Heroes: An Action Movie Role Playing Game System
Super Awesome Action Heroes: An Action Movie Role Playing Game SystemThere are some rules in life: What goes up must come down, a penny saved is a penny earned, and most importantly - the main character in an action film can do just about anything if the FX budget is high enough.

Super Awesome Action Heroes (SAAH) is a table top Role Playing Game System designed to emulate Action Films and the cinematic experience. SAAH requires, by rules, for players to describe what they're doing in detail, and forces even the most dedicated power-gamer... to actually Role Play most of the time.
UnCONventional Chapters Nine & Ten
UnCONventional Chapters Nine & Ten
UnCONventional is the ongoing story of the people who run fandom conventions. It focuses on Bork Con, which is your typical, regional Anime Convention held in a Northwestern Wisconsin college town.

Sarah and Ruth end up joining Lynn on the Unagi Con staff, as Lynn tries to find a way to revive their old con.
UnCONventional Chapter Eight
UnCONventional Chapter EightUnCONventional is the ongoing story of the people who run fandom conventions. It focuses on Bork Con, which is your typical, regional Anime Convention held in a Northwestern Wisconsin college town.Things have been rough lately for Bork Con. Money is tight, and the entire event is holding on by a financial thread.The stakes are high for our intrepid heroes in the eighth chapter of UnCONventional, or at least as high as they can go when you're talking about something that they, at least on paper, are just doing for fun.

So... not on the floor?
UnCONventional Chapter Seven
UnCONventional Chapter SevenWhether you've been to science fiction cons, gaming cons, comic cons, or anime cons - you know these people. These are the poor fools who check your badge, point you towards the rest rooms and hand you your program guide. They are con staffers, and if you've never been behind the curtain, you have no idea what the world you're missing looks like. Well, you might, if you've read this comic. Mostly. With Chapter Seven we follow not just one but two events, as Lynn joins the staff of another con.

Some things go well, other things go poorly -- and of course most people's personal lives are a mess.
UnCONventional Chapter Six
UnCONventional Chapter SixWhether you've been to science fiction cons, gaming cons, comic cons, or anime cons - you know these people. These are the poor fools who check your badge, point you towards the rest rooms and hand you your program guide. They are con staffers, and if you've never been behind the curtain, you have no idea what the world you're missing looks like. Well, you might, if you've read this comic. Mostly. With Chapter Six, love seems to be in the air (whether people want it to be or not). Romances advance, get rekindled, and (in one case) are desperately avoided.

But that's just sort of how things go.
UnCONventional Chapter Five

These are the poor fools who check your badge, point you towards the rest rooms and hand you your program guide. They are con staffers, and if you've never been behind the curtain, you have no idea what the world you're missing looks like. Well, you might, if you've read this comic. Mostly. Chapter Five sees some old faces leave and some new faces come to the front. Our plucky heroes face challenges from a feuding college anime club to their own personal lives. The stakes may be as low as they come, but that never stopped anyone from caring too much.
UnCONventional Chapter Four
UnCONventional Chapter FourWhether you've been to science fiction cons, gaming cons, comic cons, or anime cons - you know these people. These are the poor fools who check your badge, point you towards the rest rooms and hand you your program guide. They are con staffers, and if you've never been behind the curtain, you have no idea what the world you're missing looks like. Well, you might, if you've read this comic. Mostly. Chapter Four, now in full color, sees new challenges for the Bork Con staff. Personal lives will be sent into upheaval. New faces join the staff, bringing drama with them. A storm is coming.

Quite literally.

There is a literal storm coming.
UnCONventional Chapter Three

These are the poor fools who check your badge, point you towards the rest rooms and hand you your program guide.They are con staffers, and if you've never been behind the curtain, you have no idea what the world you're missing looks like.Well, you might, if you've read this comic.Mostly.In Chapter Three, things seem to be going well for the staff of Bork Con, but that can change quickly. In this year they'll face their biggest challenges to date.

Chapter Three also flashes back to the beginnings of the convention, and shows just how everything got started.

With Max as the new con director, will Bork Con survive its tenth year?

(Spoiler: Yes. Yes it will.)
UnCONventional Chapter One
UnCONventional Chapter OneUnCONventional is the story of a group of friends who run a small Anime convention in Northwestern Wisconsin. These poor, brave fools work tirelessly year round (without pay) to produce Bork Con, the apparent gem of their region.The convention's staff is led by Phil, a natural organizer, as he puts up with his ragtag crew. Max, the natural showman, runs their events, while the cynical Lynn wrangles the convention's workforce. Tara, a newcomer to the staff is merely trying to figure out where she fits in.Oh, and then there's Awesome Roy...

Chapter One collects the entire first year of this comic's strips into one easily digested place.

That's a metaphor. Please don't eat the book.
