Blaise heads deeper into the wilderness on Chapter 9 Page 8. His efforts to revive Snow-by-Night continue to come to naught. To see what awaits Blaise in the coming night, please vote for Snow by Night on Top Web Comics.

Diane and I will be at GenCon this weekend. You can find me at Author’s Avenue in the Exhibit Hall. Diane will be volunteering at True Dungeon. No almanac update this Friday because of GenCon. And on a final note, I uploaded pictures from Otakon to the Snow by Night Facebook page.

*EDIT 8/17* We’re on the road and not able to do the update tonight. Expect Page 9 late tomorrow afternoon. Until then, please enjoy our Gencon photo album on our Facebook page.

We got back from Otakon tonight. Otakon is gloriously awesome and we met so many great people there. It is also a marathon. I’m really looking forward to some sweet delicious sleep. We got some neat pictures from the convention. I’ll upload those to our Facebook page tomorrow.

Blaise receives a visitor during the night on Chapter 9 Page 7, but Blaise takes care of that right quick. But have we seen this visitor somewhere before? To see a peek at Wednesday’s page, please vote for Snow by Night on Top Web Comics.

Blaise ventures deep into the wilderness of northern Everique on Chapter 9 Page 6. Deep into a land of dark and seemingly endless forests where the snow hushes every sound, where Blaise may not be as alone as he thinks. To see who else is there with him, please vote for Snow by Night on Top Web Comics.

Otakon is this weekend. Everything’s done except for packing clothes and food. You can find us at Table L-06. Hope to see you there.

To complete the collection of the Inner Senshi, here’s a sample of Venus and Jupiter, drawn by Amanda Gomes of Ianua.

*EDIT* No almanac update this Friday on account of Otakon. I’ll see everyone on Monday!

We met back with Blaise in Ville Marcelet on Chapter 9 Page 5. News of the warrant has reached the small town, forcing Blaise to make a difficult choice. To see what Blaise buys at the Wilderness Provisions shop, please vote for Snow by Night on Top Web Comics.

Otakon is mere days away. We’re working frantically to get everything ready. You can find us at Table L-06.

We’ll be unveiling our new prints of Sailor Scouts in 18th century naval uniforms, drawn by Amanda Gomes of Ianua.

Ald receives a command that he can’t refuse on Chapter 9 Page 4, as Vivienne sides with Jassart. Don’t think that this will be the end of it for Ald. He’s a cagey veteran. He’s got other plans. To see who’s the subject of the next scene, please vote for Snow by Night on Top Web Comics.

We added a couple of new features to the website that I wanted to draw attention to. The first is a shiny new FAQ on the About page. I’ve added in some questions that I remember getting a lot. If you have other questions that you think I should include, please let me know.

Below the FAQ is my Bibliography. I read a lot of source material when preparing the comic. I thought you might be interested in some of the books I’ve used to inspire me and the artists. There are one or two books on the list.

Heading over to the Links page, we’ve added two new sections of links. The first is Colonial Resources. I added some of the links to pages dealing with colonial America, especially colonial French Canada. The second is Native American Resources, which has links to a variety of useful pages dealing with Native Americans. I’ll be adding more links to both of these as I continue to research and write the story.

We return to Sherbourg in Chapter 9 Page 3, where we find Jassart receiving a lot of visitors as he recovers in the hospital. To see a bit more of this charming scene, please vote for Snow by Night at Top Web Comics.

August is quickly approaching and that is the month of cons. Diane and I will be attending Otakon on Aug. 8-10. You can find us at Table M-03, right across the aisle from Ianua and next to Spinnerette. We’ll have some new top secret prints, but also a new booth set up. Diane and I have reimagined our table as a colonial trading post complete with chests, baskets, blankets, and crates. I’m really pleased with how well it came together. We couldn’t have done it without some supplies from the Smithsonian Museum of the Native American Indian and some gift baskets from the Red Lake Nation (their wild blueberry syrup is incredible).

GenCon follows on the heels of Otakon on Aug. 14-17. Busy month!

Blaise flees Sherbourg in Chapter 9 Page 2. The journey to Ville Marcelet is filled with disappointment and despair. To see a glimpse of the next page, please vote for Snow by Night on Top Web Comics.

Next month will be a busy one for us. We have two — yes two! — conventions. And they’re big ones too. The first is Otakon on August 8-10, where we will have a brand new secret set of prints (Shhhh! They’re secret). Diane will be attending the convention with me. Julie will be oh so far way sitting across the aisle and well within paper airplane range.

The next convention is GenCon on August 14-17. We’ll be in the Author’s Avenue. Diane is running off to be an NPC in the True Dungeon (She’s truant! Truant, I tell you!) so I’ll be joined by Québécois friend Éloïse. She may or may not be the inspiration for Mathilde. Either way, she’s threatening to come cosplaying as our favorite chanteuse, and you certainly don’t want to miss that.

The following week, I’m going to collapse and catch up on sleep.

*EDIT* Diane wants me to mention that the RSS feed got “Borked” in the site upgrade. We’re working to de-Bork it (unBork it?), but the Borking is being highly resistant to our anti-Borking technologies. Hopefully, the RSS feed will be fully Borkfree soon. I’ll let you know.
