I remastered, re-lettered, rewrote and old comic just to see if I could. In making things a bit less transgressive, I think I got closer to the heart of the story I wanted to tell. Completely free on itch robinhoodie.itch.io/life-of-vice...

Hope you can handle complexity it's MOURN THE GAME 005.

Panel 1: Behind the knight hooded figures raise their arms around a burning tree struck by lighting, the knight "In Mourn: the Game, our cards represent spells."

Panel 2: Now the hooded figures are buff and shirtless. The tree is a christmas tree. "VERY COMPLICATED SPELLS!"

Panel 3: "But the cards can also act as monsters." A werewolf stands before foliage.

Panel 4: "VERY COMPLICATED MONSTERS!" The werewolf is now a racecar crossing the finish line, billowing exhaust.
