Snow by Night

Hello everyone. Sorry for the delay on the almanac, but we were having server issues last night Today’s Almanac is the Vigenerot Hospital in Sherbourg. This hospital is loosely based upon the Hôtel-Dieu de Québec, the oldest hospital in Canada. You can find a great history of it by Bill Trent in the Canadian Medical Association Journal. For this entry, I enjoyed making Anne-Marie and Michel Sazarrin, my homage to Michel Sarrazin. Maybe someday we’ll do a vignette with these two healers fighting the plague spirit of 1612. I love playing healers in RPGs so the idea of a baroque-era philosopher and habit-wearing cleric kicking evil spirit butt warms my heart.

It’s the first of the month and the votes have reset on Top Web Comics. Please vote for Snow by Night.

Otakon is next weekend. We’ll be there with some new prints. In celebration of the release of Sailor Moon Crystal, Amanda Gomes drew a set of prints for us with Sailor Moon in 18th century naval uniforms with their powers being alchemical based. Here’s a preview of Sailor Moon. We’ll post more sailors next week.

We have this handy map of where to find Snow by Night (featuring me and Diane), Ianua (featuring Julie), and Final Arcanum (featuring Steph). Steph is sharing a table with Ava’s Demon so she’s on the map as well.
