Freshmen II #1.5 Available Online For Free

Annoying Gaming Habits, and How to Deal with Them

Tabletop roleplaying games, as well as LARPs are exercises in social contracts. Whenever a group of people sit down to play they all have to agree on the system, the arbitration of said system and on hundreds of unspoken rules. Of course, in this hodgepodge system there's always room for someone to start rocking boats, rattling cages and tipping over cows.

Top Cow Productions let us know they have created a special supplemental issue, entitled Freshmen II #1.5, and have made it available for free on the Freshmen website (www.freshmencomic.com).� This online issue expands the story for some of the characters in the group.

�This story is a stopgap between issues #1 and #2, and it develops a subplot that explores the relationship between Brady and Renee through Annalee’s powers. It’s a simple, quiet story featuring just a couple of our kids, and it’ll reveal the finer details of a shortcut we’re taking in developing the plot between the first two issues.�, commented writer and co-creator, Hugh Sterbakov.

According to Sterbakov, you don’t need to read #1.5 in order to enjoy issue #2.

If you missed the first six issue run of the Freshmen created by Seth Green and Hugh Sterbakov, head over to Drunk Duck and read the first issue there (www.drunkduck.com/Freshmen).
