Heyo all you lucky beautiful people!

This is the weekend that the World of Rando will touch the Twin Cities area while attending the 2011 Minneapolis Indie Xpo. If you are in the area, stop on by! It would be great to see you, even if it is only to chat for a few minutes. We love people! Still not convinced? Here are five reasons for you to stop out -

1. New Stories!

We are going to be releasing a fantastic new story by the Mr’s Thompson and Elton called March of the Magmice. Along with MoM, there will also be copies of Myth Hunters, a new compilation of Mr. Elton’s semi-annual Halloween stories, and Mr. Thompson’s amazing ongoing War of the Nightlands. Plus, ask and ye shall receive an advanced preview of the next chapter.

2. New Mini-Prints

Last year at MIX, we introduced a mini-print featuring the esteemed Lord Rando himself. This year, we plan to have another incredible vision into the World of Rando. What will it be? Show up to our table and find out!

3. The greatest collection of independent writers and artists anywhere!

We aren’t going to be the only ones there. In fact, based on the quality of the work that the other guests put out, it is amazing that we were even allowed to return. That said, if you don’t like what we have, there is a veritable cabal of exciting creators all displaying their work for the world to see. You really can’t go wrong by attending!

4. Plenty of programming

MIX isn’t just about commerce. There is a wealth of programming, from panels to workshops, that will appeal to every level of artist or writer, critics included!

5. Free stuff!

We’re not below pandering to your base urges. We have stuff. We have stuff we think is great. We create it because we think it is great and we love doing it. We may be asking for a small donation on some items, but really, we just want to entertain you. Mention this post and tell us what you love, and we’ll definitely hook you up with some free material.

So, that’s it for now. Come on out! We look forward to meeting you.

Hey Everybody!

Just wanted to let you know that if you are in or around the Minneapolis/St. Paul area the weekend of November 5th, you should stop by the Minneapolis Indie Expo. We will be there along with all the other incredibly talented artists, and would love to see you.

We’re going to have an intense collection of swag, from new mini’s, to videos, music, shirts, mini-prints…

Also, if you mention this blog post, we’ll give you a super-secret gift.

Hope to see you there!

Whoa. It has been quite awhile. Hope 40-pages can make up for it.

Just in time for Valentine’s Day, World of Rando proves its love for you by presenting you with the most ambitious episode yet!

Chapter 9, aka The Dreamers – Amy, aka Amynara and the Ilse of Cat, is meant to be representation of Amy’s dreams. Building this chapter was quite interesting, as it was meant to be similar in flavor to a Golden Book, but came out longer than expected. Furthermore, it marks the first time your illustrious authors turned to an outside source for artwork. We would like to give a special shout out to the Noble Sir Jacob Rueth for his phenomenal art assist!

Due to its length, it can be a little difficult to read, so we offer up a couple different options.

Option 1: Traditional -

With this option, you just follow along with the typical story flow, using the nifty devices Comicpress has provided. In fact, we’ll give you a link to the beginning of the chapter right here.

Option 2: Advanced! -

Read it RIGHT HERE with some awesome engines that make it appear closer to a traditional book:

UPDATE:

Chapter 8 is complete!

(HURRAH!)

Here’s to a much shorter wait time on Chapter 9.

***

Hallo friends -

Due numerous real world situations, the beginning of Act 2 has been delayed for over a month.

And, in all honesty, it isn’t 100% finished yet.

But it is 95% complete.

In fact, five whole pages have already posted.

Check them out here.

The intended schedule is to get the next five pages up tomorrow night, followed by the rest of the pages on Wednesday night.

As much as I would like to promise that, we have to look at this realistically. These are comics. And life happens.

However, I can and WILL promise that the rest of the pages will be up before the end of the week, and when they ARE all posted, I will DEFINITELY let you all know.

Okay?

Sincerely, though, thank you for your time, thank you for your patience, and most of all, thank you all for being who you are. Seriously.

-Mark Eric Elton

(PS – The next three chapters are gonna ROCK!)

Greetings visitors!

Many of you may have noticed the lack of updates to this here little page over the last little while. This change comes with the greatest of apologies. Between a new job for our wonderful artist, Mark Elton, and a new semester of school for myself, getting the new site up has been tough. We stay vigilante though and guarantee you a hearty helping of fresh, World of Rando goodness soon.

Below is a sliver of said goodness in the form of the first installment of our new supplementary material known as “The War of the Nightlands.” This new brand of shorty story format will replace the old thrice weekly articles that were featured on our homepage. It will be a showcase for the going-ons of many background and supporting characters from the main story. Big things will be happening for people like Jack Procyon, Forscythe Quidlen, Denny Festival and that’s just scratching the surface. These articles may start out as monthly outings at first but will soon become bi-monthly.

Thank you all once again for coming by to check us out. New “Wild Wonders!” will still be showing up every now and then. Plus Chapter 8 is being worked on now and will hopefully be up soon so keep on visiting or friend us on Facebook to hear when it officially goes online! For now, please to enjoy the new tale below.
