Snow by Night

Toothy Kit introduces Blaise to her family — the Fox Clan on Chapter 11 Page 11. Clans are the family unit among the Liranequois and they are all determined matrilineally. This is why Toothy Kit is a member of the clan regardless of her father’s nationality. The Fox Clan is an invention of mine for the purposes of this comic. There is no Fox clan among the Haudenosaunee (aka, the Iroquois). I’ll be discussing the clans more in depth in a future Almanac entry.

To see Defiant Elk’s greeting to Blaise, please vote for Snow by Night on Top Web Comics.

I’m going off on a family vacation starting Tuesday. Diane will be handling the updates for the next couple of weeks. Volume 2 books should arrive while I’m gone. I’ll start shipping those out to the Kickstarter backers as soon as I get back.

Steph, Diane, and I are back from GenCon. We had a fantastic time out there at the “Best Four Days in Gaming.” Our thanks to everyone who stopped by the table. We had a great time meeting all of you, discussing comics, games, and all things nerdy.

Toothy Kit questions Blaise on Chapter 11, Page 10 about the threats made by Snow-by-Night. Kit has her own unique take on it. Coming up, we meet Defiant Elk on the next page. To see a preview, please vote for Snow by Night on Top Web Comics.

Whew! Diane here for the Monday update. It’s nearly 4AM and we’ve just arrived home from Gencon. It’s been exhausting for all of us, so I’ll be brief. Toothy Kit shows off her superior knowledge on Chapter 11 Page 9. To see a preview of the next page, vote for us on Top Web Comics. Thank you to everyone who stopped by at Gencon to say hello or pick up some Snow by Night merchandise!

Behold Tionnontego on Chapter 11 Page 8. I was thinking of spelling it as Tion’non’tego because there are glottal stops at the end of each syllable, but it made the word even longer and more difficult to fit into speech balloons.

Kit is being cute in the vote incentive when on Top Web Comics. We leave for GenCon tomorrow morning early. No Almanac this week, but a page on Monday. Have a great weekend!

We’re home from Otakon! It was a great show. My thanks to everyone who stopped by. It was great to meet you all.

Blaise manages to stick his foot in his mouth on Chapter 11, Page 7.  It only took him 5 pages to do it. To see a peek outside the medicine lodge for the first time, please vote for Snow by Night on Top Web Comics.

GenCon is this weekend. It’s my favorite convention of the year. Of course, I’m a big gaming geek. I’ll be in the Author’s Avenue along with Steph of Final Arcanum. Come see me if you’re at the “4 Best Days in Gaming!”

Silly times are over on Chapter 11, Page 6. One of Blaise’s talents is knowing when to be quiet. To see a sneak peek of the next page, please vote for Snow by Night on Top Web Comics.

Diane and I leave for Otakon on Thursday. We will have some preview books of Volume 2 with us and will be accepting pre-orders. Also, we’ll be participating in the Reverie Treasure Hunt. The prize is a sticker sheet of characters from our comics. Julie will be there too at the Riven Seal table. Come by. We’d love to see you.

No update on Friday. See you next Monday!

Time for introductions on Chapter 11, Page 5. The youngster has a name, Toothy Kit. But it’s Blaise who ends up being teased for his name. To see Blaise getting the glare that sees through your soul, please vote for Snow by Night on Top Web Comics.

Otakon is in four days. I will not be around this Friday for an Almanac entry. I will be back to do a page update on Monday. If you’re coming to the con, you should participate in Reverie’s Treasure Hunt. Solve riddles; collect stamps; get a prize!

More good news! Print Ninja sent me some very nice photos of the book. I thought I’d share them with you. Enjoy!

Blaise continues to contend with the girl on Chapter 11 Page 4. And Blaise continues to be on the losing end of this conversation. To see who shows up on the next page, please vote for Snow by Night on Top Web Comics.

Otakon is next week, and Reverie Comics has cooked up a special treat for you. There are six of us attending Otakon this year, and we’ve put together a Treasure Hunt. Get a clue card from us at the convention, solve the riddles, and collect the stamps. You can then turn them in for a prize. It’s going to be a lot of fun. Hope to see you there!
