What Do You Do: Difference between revisions

[[Half Truth|A young elven wizard, after being recruited by his nation to assist in mapping their home continent, is pulled into a mess of political intrigue and thrilling chases after he impersonates a member of royalty. Our hero, James Woodrock, is pitted against the evil dragonborn Verzavt as they fight over the almighty Skull Keys, capable of unlocking great power. Joining James on his quest are the stoic cleric Jane, the unstable dwarven berserker Techy, the intolerable human bard Ray, the quiet troll rogue, Krinn, the morally ambiguous Deblin, and the vampire slave Douglas. They venture forth into unknown lands, protecting the skull known as Murray whilst attempting to discern the secrets that Murray and his kin protect.]]

[[Half Truth|But then]] the fanbase happens. James is a [[Cloudcuckoolander]] of the finest kind, with [[Refuge in Cool|Refuge In Funny]] branded on some part of his brain. He may have a high intelligence in-universe, but his actions hardly reflect that. Perhaps his epic quest would be more convincing if he didn't have a [[Hammerspace]] pencil and a tendency to make shadow puppets on CLOUDS.

'''''What Do You Do''''' was a comic that has a rather simple premise: mix [[Dungeons & Dragons]] with [[MS Paint Adventures]]. Several panels were posted every day, with the actions of James (the main character) decided by the fans. It developed a rather dedicated ([[No Such Thing As Notability|if relatively small]]) fan base, and its characters have been used (although [[In Name Only]] for the most part) in two indie flash games: ''Turn Based Battle!'' and ''Defend Your Honor'', the former an RPG parody and the second a serious tower-defense type game.
