Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

Rules

😇 Be Nice!
- Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
🏘️ Community Standards
- Comics should be a full story, from start to finish, in one post.
- Posts should be safe and enjoyable by the majority of community members, both here on lemmy.world and other instances.
- Any comic that would qualify as raunchy, lewd, or otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers, spouses, or family members should be tagged as NSFW.
- Moderators have final say on what and what does not qualify as appropriate. Use common sense, and if need be, err on the side of caution.
🧬 Keep it Real
- Comics should be made and posted by real human beans, not by automated means like bots or AI. This is not the community for that sort of thing.
📽️ Credit Where Credit is Due
- Comics should include the original attribution to the artist(s) involved, and be unmodified. Bonus points if you include a link back to their website. When in doubt, use a reverse image search to try to find the original version. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanently banned from posting.
- Attributions include, but are not limited to, watermarks, links, or other text or imagery that artists add to their comics to use for identification purposes. If you find a comic without any such markings, it would be a good idea to see if you can find an original version. If one cannot be found, say so and ask the community for help!
📋 Post Formatting
- Post an image, gallery, or link to a specific comic hosted on another site; e.g., the author's website.
- Meta posts about the community should be tagged with [Meta] either at the beginning or the end of the post title.
- When linking to a comic hosted on another site, ensure the link is to the comic itself and not just to the website; e.g.,
  ✅ Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
  ❌ Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
📬 Post Frequency/SPAM
- Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 🖐) comics a day. This can be any combination of personal comics you have written yourself, or other author's comics. Any comics exceeding five (5 🖐) will be removed.
🏴‍☠️ Internationalization (i18n)
- Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,
  Sí, por favor [Spanish/Español]
🍿 Moderation
- We are human, just like most everybody else on Lemmy. If you feel a moderation decision was made in error, you are welcome to reach out to anybody on the moderation team for clarification. Keep in mind that moderation decisions may be final.
- When reporting posts and/or comments, quote which rule is being broken, and why you feel it broke the rules.

Banned Artists

The following artists are banned from the community.

Jago
Stonetoss
GPrime85

It should be noted that when you make reports, it is your responsibility to provide rational reasoning why something should be removed. Saying it simply breaks community rules is not always good enough.

Web Accessibility

Note: This is not a rule, but a helpful suggestion.

When posting images, you should strive to add alt-text for screen readers to use to describe the image you're posting:

Markdown - Links / Images

Another helpful thing to do is to provide a transcription of the text in your images, as well as brief descriptions of what's going on. (example)

Also, D&D campaign

We need the podcast equivalent of old radio shows, like acting out a story with sound effects

There's plenty of audio dramas, and actual plays that are more edited and produced than, say, Critical Role.

Edit: Came across this site just now: https://audiodrama.directory/

My personal favorite D&D podcast is Tales from the Stinky Dragon XD

Well if we're strictly speaking DnD I guess mine would be Worlds Beyond Number's main campaign (that's DnD right?).

But Fun City, Gutter and Unend are my personal favs using other systems :)

Yeah The Wizard, The Witch and The Wild One is DnD and I can highly recommend it.

Shout-out to the Adeptus Ridiculous podcast as well as the Acceptable Losses podcast for doing 40K and setting lore deep dives!

I feel like D&D campaign falls, spiritually, under ‘recapping a movie but it’s longer than the movie’

Then you've been listening to the wrong campaigns.

I didn’t say I disliked it! I’ve probably spent more time listening to theory videos about ASOIAF than I did listening to the books, I like proverbially dissecting the frog. So a D&D campaign with 5 minutes of OOC discussion for every 1-2 minutes of gameplay is just my speed.

That's why I love Thrilling Adventure Hour so much. Its funny and in the style of old time radio.

There's plenty of high production podiodramas but they are more like a movie to me than old radio dramas.

I once listenee to a Batman podcast which was an audio drama that I think was actually produced by the people who own Batman.

The Adventure Zone is what got me into D&D. Balance is surprisingly easy to run as a home campaign

Re: radio shows... Back when I listened to podcasts, there were so many. I can't speak to their current quality (I largely stopped listening to podcasts in 2020), but there was Wolf 359, The Far Meridian, The Magnus Archives, The Bright Sessions, Ars Paradoxica, Hello from The Magic Tavern, and a ton more that I never even heard of. Then there's the literal fictional radio shows like WIDK and Welcome to Nightvale

I shamelessly steal ideas from them all the time. Fantasy Costco is in all my campaigns and always run by Garfield, the Deals Warlock. I even made an entire mini-campaign that took place entirely within Fantasy Costco.
