The only thing worse today than the massive head cold I am sporting is my craptacular internet connection. Thus I am at the library using their wireless network while spreading my germs to the other patrons. Don't say I never gave you anything, library lovers!
Since the latter item meant it took me three hours just to download half the entries for Character Contest 41 and the former item means I feel like death, I am not going to post the individual images of the Finalists like I usually do. Instead I am going to put them all into a gallery, where you can click through to each one.
Congratulations nonetheless to all of our Finalists, however -- Alex, Blue Blazer, Decolda, Gargoyle323 (x3!), Imp (x2!), Kaldath, Knitesoul, Morzan, Mr. Q., Phatchick, Rosco, Watson Bradshaw, and Zyp. Well done, all of you! Some of these I liked a specific element or technique, others were great designs, and others were just fun. I will leave it to all you healthy people to figure out which was which, and why you think these made it to the Finalist status, in the comments.
Somehow I managed to put each one in twice. I don't know how I did that, or how to make it stop, so get ready for twice the lovin'.
Finally, out of all those I had to pick one winner. And I had to agree with those who exclaimed in the comments how awesome this one is, because I just love it. All of the effects work, the design is spot-on, and the character just looks utterly fantastic. Definitely one of the best entries we've had in the history of this series, just a great, great job by Morzan with his "Junkie":
Morzan, let me know either via email or in a comment to any post what item or portrait you'd like as your prize. Thanks for the illustration and congratulations!

If you enjoy the Daily Random Panel here at HeroMachine.com, you'll love Comically Vintage, a Tumblr feed featuring similar out-of-context panels from various comic books. As they say on their site, "a virtual wellspring of sex, drugs, violence and poor table manners". What could be better on a lazy Sunday?!
Here's a sample:
Enjoy!

As Neon_N64 said, we're already in the room so we opt to head to 199 and search the farmhouse further:
Most of the cupboards and drawers are empty. Whoever lived here took nearly everything they owned with them, but you do manage to scrape together enough fruit in the cellar for one Meal. You may mark this on your Action Chart.
Turn to 81.
(81): After nearly an hour, the Kraan and their cruel riders vanish towards the west. As the shocked refugees start to emerge from the woods, you can hear the sound of horses in the distance galloping nearer. You stay hidden and wait as the riders come closer. They are the cavalry of the King's Guard wearing the white uniforms of His Majesty's army.

I would pay the authors cash money to add another option in the next edition of the book, saying "If you wish to stagger outside, shaking your fists above your head at the sky and, while staring skyward in agony yelling 'KRAAAAAAAAAN!', you win this book." But that's not an option, so we'll just have to pick one of those given.

I've just added a dozen or so additional items to the Legwear-Male-Overwear set, including the following:
I think I am going to add on some more Spandex items before moving on to more brand new Legwear stuff, but by all means holler if you see any problems with this latest addition.

When last we checked in on our Lone Wolf, we had handily defeated our monstrous foe and faced a decision about where to go next. By an overwhelming majority, we decided to check out the local farmhouse:
Kicking open the door, you dive into the farmhouse. A Kraan soars overhead, letting out a shriek of victory, a victim hanging in its claws. Getting to your feet, you find yourself alone. But propped against the fireplace is a Warhammer. You may take this weapon if you wish.
We don't really need a warhammer since that's not a skill we possess, and we've already got two weapons (the max) in our inventory. But if you want it, let me know. I should note that this is not a Warhammer 40K, so don't go thinking we're starting another RPG here.
We do have other choices to make, however:
I can't think running out from cover into a forested area when there are enemies visibly carrying off hapless villagers is what I would call "feeling safer", but perhaps my definitions are different than yours, I don't know.
Anyway, in honor of RPG Friday, I am going to try and take the results in an hour or two and move ahead with wherever that takes me, hopefully we can get a fair ways ahead in the story today to make up for the lack of updates recently.
