Infinitale: Chronicles | Available on Amazon.com!
“People back stories that matter.” That’s a fair point. So, what inspired me to create the INFINITALE CHRONICLES? The short answer: Nostalgia for better days. The longer answer (I have a blue checkmark and I’m gonna make good use of it): After having my dream career blow up in my face, leaving me homeless, I had to start over from scratch in my late 30s. I was fortunate enough to leverage my graphic design & UX skills to change industries and find work as a UX designer for cyber security companies. Sure, it was a lot more stable than the tenuous (at best) employment prospects of video game development. Unfortunately, it was also creatively unfulfilling. Although I was no longer living out of my car in southern California, I moved back to New Hampshire and was still depressed. It felt like I was just going through the motions until the curtains eventually dropped on my life. That’s when I sought out what brought me joy — back to my youth and to when I developed my own fantasy role-playing game system with my friends every weekend. For a few hours every Saturday, we could all forget about some of the really bad stuff in our lives (divorce, child abuse, physical handicaps, some really dark stuff, etc.) and immerse ourselves in a world where the good guys had a fighting chance. I resurrected that project from my old storage containers and planned to self-publish it! Then I saw all of the crowdfunded TTRPG competition and felt a little overwhelmed. A former colleague and friend of mine from my video game design days suggested I make an animated series to drive up some hype. That sounded amazing! What better way to get people excited for a game world than by introducing it to them before the game was released? I spent a few years writing screenplays and eventually enrolled in screenwriting courses where I met some Hollywood bigwigs! Then I learned how over-ambitious my epic saga of elves and magic was for an animated series and how much money/resources would be involved in such a production. That same friend then suggested “You can draw. Make that into a comic book series!” Sadly, an auto-immune disease ended up taking away my drawing abilities in 2014 so I reached out to other artists to make it happen. So, here we are today. I’m crowdfunding a graphic novel series! It’s based on the chronicled role-playing game sessions I ran with my friends from 1990 through 2001. Everyone that played INFINITALE left pieces of themselves in those adventures. Rereading these stories, after all these years, makes me feel like a teenager again! It feels like all the friends that sat around that giant table in the Pelham Public Library every weekend hadn’t grown up, moved away, got married, and had kids of their own yet. Those were the best years of my life! The tales that came from them are now printed for the world to see what brought so much joy and wonder to a group of kids in a New Hampshire town in the 90s.

@TrenchNerd Noticing how “respecting the customer”can change some because of a little coin or clout.

If small indie creators won’t even stand up to a grifter, they would have NEVER stood up to the corporations. Choose wisely…

The minute I realized I truly have nothing is the minute that God gave me everything. All glory to Christ. 🙏

@thelucentcomic Nice! Screen printing is the best. Next would be DTF printing. If you have a talent (and software) screen printing can be AMAZING! Good luck, bro.

I’ve just had an idea for an Absolute Constantine series that’s SO fucking good I’m 100% considering writing and artworking it myself and just giving to the world for free to enjoy. Who’s up for that?!

I made hoes mad when I said I didn’t want to be begging for table scraps. This is what I was talking about. Best thing any indie creators can do is build themselves a fanbase, support network, audience, whatever you want to call it as long as it’s a collection of people who support YOU.

That's the culture you and Throat Goat Ethan Van Sciver created and nurtured in comicsgate. A thrall of brainless, vile little suckups that are all looking to be invited on your streams for a taste of what they think is YouTube stardom.
