>tramp

That's easily the worst name ever.

>>7107487
He started Wormy in 1978.

Wormy is something of a cunt.

>>7107534
David A. Trampier, Tramp for short.

>>7107551
He's a green dragon. They are typically evil.

Wormy was an awesome series.
The guy stopped sending them in and couldn't be found anymore apparently. Think someone came across him and interviewed him years later, was a taxi driver or something like that.

>>7107551
Wormy's just a class dragon.

>>7107585
Yea. The Something Positive guy made a comment on him that had me look up the wiki entry. Trampier is/was a taxi driver and really doesn't want to be contacted. Guess he just got sick of the deal.

He was a great artist as well.
Pic related.

>>7107652
He could do great line work too.

I liked the Yggdrasil trees and the tree trolls.

>dwarf
>lodge my falchion in thy right ankle
>FALCHION

What the fuck is this shit.

He was Tom Wham's brother-in-law.

fucking saved.

>>7107737
>was
I love it how everyone unintentionally speaks about the man as if he's dead. :D

>>7107756
I don't know who married whom, or if the marriage is still in place. I do know the artist dropped out of life.

>>7107783
>dropped out of life.
Actually he dropped out of working for Dragon Magazine and the game industry in general. That's about it.

>>7107795
He never responded to them or cashed his last check. They assumed he was dead.

This is fantastic in every possible sense.

>>7107840
referencing hyperborea?
>>7107849
"We are the wrong hands."

FUCK YES
MOAR

>>7107889
So that's what's behind the fourth wall! Hyperspace!

>>7107912
I think that was where Trampier left things and dropped out of sight.

>>7107912
And he would go back and fourth between characters as if a strip was another chapter in a novel.

>>7107917
>>7107870
So if I'm reading this aright, the basic conceit here is that if the real world was some cosmic homebrew D&D setting, gamers would be the monsters?

>>7107958
The basic conceit here is: "It's a comic. Stop overanalyzing it you massive douche."

Some ink work he did.

these are awful. i don't find them funny in the slightest.

>>7108062
trolls are black people?
it seems the world back then has turned upside down, now the brotherhood of trolls are white fat people posting on /tg/

>>7107983
You're no fun.

OP: Never ever post these again. Let's forget that we saw this and move on like nothing ever happened.

>>7108197
Fuck you.

>>7108108
Man you got to admit they're kind of charming and the art is neat in a way that you don't really see any more.

>>7108197
I'll keep that under advisement.

Extraplanar Winged Panther is a Mary-Sue

>>7108275
To the elemental planes of fire.

>>7108299
The artist probably most identified with Wormy.

What is the number of the OotS strip that appeared in the Dragon #359 (The last issue,September 2007)?

I want to check out the Trampy references.

>>7108212
yeah, it is neat to see the older art, but it's jsut not enjoyable to me because i'm only 19.

>>7108454
Well whaddaya know. I'm only 19 and from a country where it's a pain in the ass to get gaming magazines.
I still enjoy this.
Keep 'em coming OP.

>>7108415
Here.

>>7108488
Fineous Fingers and Knights of the Dinner Table are referenced there as well.

This is fantastic. Good time, good times...

I miss print Dragon...

>>7108522
KOTD is easy to find (up to a point) but Finieous Fingers is fucking impossible. You don't happen to have those comics by any chance?
Or perhaps a zip of Wormy?

>>7108547
I'll post what I have another time. I'll run into the image limit on this thread as it is.

>>7108567
Please be sure to archive it as well.
I always manage to miss these kind of threads.

>>7108488
Thanks, buddy!

rapidshare?

y/n?

This is excellent, keep posting OP

Man, I love Wormy. I have most of these issues in a box.

>>7108623
OK, uploading now.

>>7108567
Those trolls are so gay, even if they don't know it.

>>7108757
Lesson learned: Never swallow a guy with a knife whole.

Toad Town.

Jesus, this dude actually knows how to make comics.

How come all D&D inspires these days is the likes of Goblins or Order of the Stick?

Do you have all of them OP?

>>7109011
I think I do now.

I noticed that a couple were .bmp, and was going to convert them to .jpg, but noticed that one numbered in the middle was missing, so I grabbed the .pdf and took them from that. In posting these, I noticed that I was going to post 61_3 after 60, so I grabbed that .pdf and took the first two from that.

These are someone else's scans from 2001.

I notice that the quality is not there, but one can always hope for a collection to be printed at one point.

When Wizards of the Coast were taking business away from TSR in the form of a collectible card game, TSR decided to put one out too. They pissed off a lot of artists by using old art with no new recompense. Eventually, the art went back to the ownership of the artist, and...

Well, one can always hope.

>>7109002
He could have put out a comic, or made a graphic novel.

Scripted, drawn, inked, colored.

How much do you think he got per page back in 1985?

Wormy was awesome. There was a compilation released at some point, I think. From what I heard, someone discovered the artist several years down the road living life as a taxi driver. He was no longer an artist at that point, which sucks... : /

I see that I am missing another one, so I am grabbing issue 103.

>>7109107
So much that he rather drives a taxi and wants nothing to do with roleplaying game industry anymore.


... (._.)

>>7109097
zip would be apreciated, 4 chan is runing like shit for me and half the pics wont load :(

>>7109211
Driving a taxi is probably more lucrative than any job in the roleplaying industry.

>>7109160
I could not find one. Point it out to me?

>>7109214
I'm uploading a new .rar now.

And 125 image limit reached.

>>7109287
Could you upload to mediafire, I can download accelerate it that way.

Trampier himself:
http://i47.tinypic.com/6sqhrt.jpg

And he truly doesn't want to be contacted about his past work anymore. Such a shame.

>>7109321
Anybody know why he would rather be a taxi driver? Is it the social stigma around the rpg industry?

I loved Wormy back in the day. And Trampier is/was a fantastic artist.

>>7109368

I think he went through something in his personal life. I doubt it had anything to do with this work in the gaming industry.

>>7109404
If it had nothing to do with his work then why quit?

>>7109368

As I understand it, he just didn't want that kind of life.

From RPG.net

"I can only wonder what happened to Mr. Trampier that so soured him on the gaming community. Granted, we're a bunch of obnoxious nerds, but the whole thing just seemed so sudden and his refusal to do further RPG work so utter. Weird.

There was a thread about Trampier a few years ago on Enworld where some TSR people made comments that pointed to DT having a nervous breakdown. Tom Wham was his friend and brother-in-law and he said Trampier just stopped talking to family for a long while as well. I don't think it's so much the gaming community or industry as his wanting to put that entire period of his life forever in the past."

>>7109414
Maybe he just didn't want to draw comics about dragons and trolls all his life? Maybe he got sick of the story or ran out of ideas and couldn't think of anything he'd rather draw.

There doesn't need to be a grand secret conspiracy about some guy drawing comics for Dragon for a while and then stopping.

>>7107436
stop spamming ur shitty board on ａ ｎ o ｎ t ａ ｌ ｋ . com ok thanks and a hav a good day

>>7109437
I think I can understand why now. He was tired of the lonely nights with nothing but his hand. Tired of the despair and the escape from that despair by escaping to an imaginary world. He probably massed a huge debt but was able to ignore it all by escaping to his imaginary world. He probably was shit with women and found that they all hated him with a passion. So ronery ;_;

>>7109445
I dunno. Working with sweaty, fat nerds must suck, but working as a cab driver is far worse.

My money is on a crazy epiphany.

Oddly enough, most war/roleplayers i have met are in fact not fat, but incredibly skinny and with longer than average hair.

Just a bump while OP is uploading.

But for some reading material...

Many thanks!

>>7109576

Thanks OP, I loved Wormy back then. But never actually sat down and scanned all of them from my issues of dragon, which woefully would of yielded a much smaller selection of episodes then this.

>>7109488
>He probably was shit with women

Very likely, women appear not to exist in his fantasy world. And in fact the only kind of relationships his creatures seem to have at all are chummy platonic male ones where you drink ale and play games.

>>7109576

Thanks Anon!

Damn, no women in Toad Town. No tavern wenches in the Yggdrasil trees.

It will probably be re-uploaded here, so I may as well do it.

No benees for Mediafire, huh? 9,000 more points and I get a month's membership in the Rapidfire club.

I fear turning into Trampier when I hit my 30s.

But I mostly fear becoming this man:

Thanks bro

>>7109863
At least Trampier kept his fa/tg/uy beard.
So, grow a beard, then you too can grow old to look like this guy:
