PnW Comic: Part 4

More colors, more characters, and more panels!   Politics and War: A story in comic form Part 4: Selective Service Scheme   In peacetime, they have too many volunteers, and so have to do a similar reverse where they fail anyone who reacts for not holding still as instructed. God forbid anyone should ever threaten the Capitol, the federation government would be handing out guns to everyone who could stand.   The guard in panel one is rolling his eyes. He sees this kind of showing off a

PnW Comic: Part 3

Today's comic has just a splash of color, which I think came out quite nicely. I've also made a few changes to the drawing process that will hopefully make better quality scans. Let me know what you think!   Politics and War: A Story in Comic Form Part 3: Artistic Ambitions Previous strips can be found below: Part 1: http://politicsandwar.com/forums/index.php?/blog/19/entry-97-politics-and-war-the-comic/ Part 2: http://politicsandwar.com/forums/index.php?/blog/19/entry-101-pnw-comic-part

PnW Comic: Part 2

The story continues. Part 1 can be found here.   Politics and War: A Story in Comic form Part 2     About the Art: I ended up redoing this one after the second and third panels came out weird. There were a bunch of subtle tweaks that I think made a difference. Most of them focus on setting things out so that they will scan nicely. I've worked out a way to make the brightness and contrast a bit more consistent throughout the page at the expense of looking on the whole lighter. I reckon

Politics and War: The Comic

I had been thinking of doing an in character, news/propaganda blog category for some time. However, it would seem that while I was thinking this over, the whole format has become widespread. While this isn't by any means a bad thing, I simply cannot bare being thought of as 'jumping on the bandwagon' and so decided that I must do something different. This morning I came up with an idea for a comic layout illustration, and it seems to have turned out acceptably. So I'm going with that.   I've g

On the Judging of Books by Covers

Foreword: This has nothing to do with P&W. This is just my own opinions on the world. After all, that's what blogs are for, right?   On the Judging of Books by Covers By Roger Campbell     "Never judge a book by its cover." The old saying goes. This was one of the oldest and most oft-repeated lessons of my childhood. It was repeated by my parents, my teachers, my television shows, my films, and my nursery rhymes. It appeared countless times as the moral of my stories, and functioned as

Politics & War Vs. NationStates

I've been thinking a lot about the difference between my "home" community of NationStates, and other nation sims like this one.   I want to start off by saying that they are very different games. NationStates is, at its core, a political game, with a focus on ideology and broad policy over micromanaging. It has no clearly defined goal, and there is no clear metric for success or failure. War is conducted either through role playing (of which there is a great deal) or through a complicated prox
