Four adventurers who owe a fortune to the same thieves' guild take every job the guild offers — and every job turns out to be robbing someone who owes the guild even more.

Start with this ideaFor the table
Turn your D&D campaign into a comic.Every session, an issue.
The best moments of a campaign live only in the memories of the people at the table. Panel & Ink turns them into a comic — your party as the cast, your world as the places, and each session's story written up as the next issue, in any tabletop game you play.
How it goes
Four steps to issue #1.
- The premise
Describe the world and the party's quest: the cursed coast, the debt to the thieves' guild, the dragon nobody has seen. Teen suits most tables — fights, scares and loss, like a PG-13 film.
- The look
Painted fantasy, a woodland fable in pen and watercolour, stained glass for the cleric's visions. Pick one and the whole campaign is drawn in it.
- The party
Each character gets a model sheet — up to eight regulars — described the way their player sees them, or drawn from a sketch someone at the table made.
- The sessions
After each session, write what happened in the comic desk's ideas box and turn it into issues. The writer reads the running story first, so the betrayal in session three still matters in session ten.
Start from one of these
Make one of these yours.
Press start and the premise lands in the box of a new comic with its look already picked. Change every word, or the look, before anything is drawn.

Looks that suit it
Draw it in one of these.
Or in any of the twenty-eight. A comic picks one look on its second step, and every panel of every issue keeps it.

Questions, answered.
Can we use characters from an official adventure book?
Your party's own characters, yes — they're yours. Named characters someone else owns aren't drawn, so give the famous villain a name and a face of your own.
How does a session become an issue?
Write what happened — a paragraph or a page of notes — in the comic desk's ideas box, and the studio turns it into an issue's brief. You can change the brief before the issue is written.
Can the whole table see it?
Yes. Download each finished issue as a narrated video, or as its panels in a zip with the captions, and share it with the party.
