This week’s almanac entry is the alchemical symbols used for the five elements.

Only one more week until Intervention. A lot of great artists are coming, including some good friends of us here at Snow by Night:  Jen Zyren Smith of LaSalle’s Legacy, Eren and Chezhnian of Tamruan, Dawn Griffin of Zorphbert and Fred, Travis Surber of Hainted Holler, Elaine Corvidae of Riven Sol, Chris Flick of Capes-n-Babes, Chris Impink and Barb Fischer of Sledgebunny. Whew. That was a lot of linking. Go visit their sites. They’re all great artists. Then come see us at Intervention.

Chapter 2 Page 17 is up. Blaise and Jassart are ready for a night in the museum. Are you?

For this week’s vote incentive, I uploaded the floor plan of the Harp & Trumpet. There’s also a basement, but it didn’t fit on the sheet. The basement has the kitchen in it as well as food storage. To see the rest of Sherbourg’s hottest saloon, vote for us on Top Web Comics.

Intervention is coming very soon. I encourage all of you to attend the convention. Harknell and Onezumi  are two incredible people and are working very hard to put together the best Internet-culture convention I can imagine. Check out their site and see all the great guests and events. I’ll be sitting on two of the panels: (1) Young Punks Kicking It: the new kids on the block at 1 p.m. on Saturday and (2) Writing and Creating Three Dimensional Characters at 1 p.m. on Sunday.

This week’s almanac entry is alchemy – the magic of Corthis. Magic isn’t really the right word for it. Corthis is a scientific world, but its science is difference than ours. It is modeled on the principles of science of the time of Isaac Newton, Galileo Galilei, Johannes Kepler, René Descartes, and Gottfried Leibniz (or more generally, in the early years of the Royal Society of Great Britain and the Académie des Sciences of France). This means Newtonian alchemy actually works. The spheres of the planetary spheres work per Kepler’s Platonic solids model (with a Corthis-centric model instead of a Helio-centric one). Anyway, please check out the first installment in the alchemy of Corthis. There will be many more as Blaise and Jassart begin to unravel the mysteries of the world – or more accurately trip over them.

A few other things. We will not be updating a page on Monday because of the holiday (hurrah, Labor Day!). So look for the next page on Wednesday. I’m posting an extra-long almanac entry to cover Monday.

Also, Snow by Night will be in the Artists’ Alley of Intervention. This is my favorite convention of the year (with perhaps GenCon being a close second.). It’s an incredible event. I’ll be on two different panels: (1) Young Punks Kicking It: the new kids on the block at 1 p.m. on Saturday and (2) Writing and Creating Three Dimensional Characters at 1 p.m. on Sunday. You should come and see us and this great convention.
