Do you work for Webtoons or something? Because this is free on the actual author's site.

Does Webtoons even get permission to repost this shit for money?

I am the actual author. I post my work in many places. All of them are free to read.

Webtoons is where I have the most subscribers and is the most popular platform, so I tend to direct people there. I also get a (tiny) share of the revenue from the ads they place below my comics, which is a nice little bonus. But I'm happy for people to read wherever - I just like to share my work.

Oh, cool! It's a great comic! I've always found it suspicious that Webtoons links are paywalled while authors have free access on their own sites, but I guess that makes sense if it works for the artists.

They aren't paywalled, though? All the links are viewable freely as far as I can tell.

Any time I go to Webtoons on my phone I see this. I guess maybe it's technically free? I don't really trust any app that tries to force itself on me though. Usually they want something, whether that be pushing ads or selling data.

Ah, that is annoying! You can still view in the browser, but the pop-up is definitely bothersome. And of course you can just go to crookedgoat.ca as you indicated, and be free of ads, trackers, and any other corporate nonsense.

Oh I'm loving these! I'm subscribed to the RSS now :)

A standard adventurer's pack includes one set of travelling clothes. How many adventurers ever change their outfits, or even wash them, throughout the course of a campaign? I think my current character, a human warlock, changed his jacket once, to swap for studded leather. They've been travelling for months now.

At least Singing Cricket keeps his robes clean. (He's got a closet full of them; a martial artist's outfit gets pretty disgusting after one training session.)

What's going on here?

Love and Hex started out as a joke about my D&D campaign and turned into an ongoing rom-com/horror story. It's on Webtoon and other platforms. Also r/LoveAndHex.

(It's also a book now! You can find it on Amazon and Comcraft.)

My warlock was a dandy with a fey patron who would buy a new outfit whenever he had a chance to spend money. It was a fun character.

I think the only time I've changed clothes in a campaign was when either we all had to go to an upper class thing so we all went shopping to wear nice things, or the one time I played a foppish character who spent every last coin on clothing.

[–] Bondjimbond@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

Yeah, it tends to happen only when you've got a reason to do it.

Singing Cricket got his fancy robes from some rats, because he wanted to find a fancy party. That was the inciting incident that led to his relationship with Kayra.

Can relate. So we played for about a year the Rise of Tiamat, and near the end our party infiltrates the cultists' hideout.

For the first time since joining the campaign, the DM mentions my character found underwear in the cultists' chests of personal belongings. And just there and then, also for the first time, my character got rid of her old panties and into a fresh set of clean ones.

While the world shifts to fast fashion, D&D fights back teaching people not to be consumerist

Okay but he's not wrong, it is different
