The Midnight Chalice Page 6
February 11th, 2013The Midnight Chalice comes to a thrilling conclusion as the chalice ultimately gives the ultimate ultimatum to those with ulterior motives. My thanks to Ricky Bryant for writing, drawing, coloring, and lettering this whimsy for us. He did a fantastic job. Chapter 6 begins on Wednesday. It’s titled “A Light in the Darkness.” To see a peek at the cover page, please vote for Snow by Night on Top Web Comics.
Katsucon is this weekend. We’re at table J19. I’ll try to get a map together for Wednesday’s update. We’ll have Chapter 4 for sale as well as two new buttons. We now have Chapter 4 for sale in the online store. For a limited time, we’re offering our convention special. Get all four books for $35.
Almanac – Freeports of the Kennard Reach
February 7th, 2013This week’s almanac entry discusses the Freeports of the Kennard Reach. This confederation of port cities are the homes to some of the greatest explorers and navigators in Corthis. A gold star to anyone who can guess what real world organization I’m basing the Freeports off of. The entry also mentions the fallen Kingdom of Lyonesse and the great spirit Taliesen. Those names may be familiar to some of you. Also, I added in a picture of Aileon’s flag that I neglected to include in an earlier update.
Speaking of updates, Diane and I are looking into doing a site redesign for Snow by Night. Is there any features that you would like us to include? Likewise, is there anything on the current site that you think needs improving? Let us know and we’ll see what we can do.
The Midnight Chalice Page 5
February 5th, 2013Behold the Liquid Refreshment powers of The Midnight Chalice on Page 5 of the vignette. To some it brings fear, to others it brings love. Perhaps it just reveals your inner you? To see a peek of the thrilling conclusion, vote for Snow by Night on Top Web Comics.
Katsucon is fast approaching and we’ll be there with our brand-new Chapter 4 books. Also, Art Contest. Check it out. We’ve got cash prizes for the winners.

February 3rd, 2013Our whimsy continues as the masked pewter hero with a handle teaches evil-doers a lesson on Page 4 of The Midnight Chalice. To see a sneak peek at Wednesday’s page, please vote for Snow by Night on Top Web Comic.
I just got Chapter 4 back from the printers. We’ll be uploading it to the Snow by Night Store later this week. Also, we’ll have copies at Katsucon in two weeks. Lastly, don’t forget our Art Contest! Deadline is March 1. Top 8 places will win cash prizes.
Almanac – Tricornes
January 31st, 2013Aradie was founded for the sake of a hat. Not just any hat, but a tricorne made of beaver fur. They are all the rage in Saronne and everyone who is anyone MUST have one. And so Sherbourg was settled and Aradie founded. Read about it in this week’s Almanac entry on Tricorne. They are wonderful hats for the time, even is my artists don’t agree.
We made it to February, which means one month left to submit entries to our Art Contest. I hope you will consider submitting something. We tried to make the criteria as broad as possible while still having a Snow by Night focus. Cash prizes to our winners!
The Midnight Chalice Page 3
January 29th, 2013Today we bring you Page 3 of our bonus story, The Midnight Chalice. At last we meet our masked hero, the mysterious Midnight Chalice! How dare that rook call our flying hero a mere cup!
In case you’re wondering, Eric hasn’t been eaten by gremlins, he’s just fighting with a migration onto a new computer, so he asked me to cover today’s Journal entry. Wish him luck, or join me in mocking him mercilessly. The latter’s more fun.
To see more of our shiny hero’s adventures, vote for us on Top Web Comics and get a sneak peek at the next page!
The Midnight Chalice Page 2
January 27th, 2013The three canailles (Sherbourg slang for thug) from Laurent’s crew are back in Page 2 of the Midnight Chalice. They are up to no good, but will they get away with their misdeeds? To see what our hooded canailles sees, vote for Snow by Night on Top Web Comics.
Our next convention is Katsucon on February 15-17. If you’re attending, please come by and say hello to us in the Artist Alley. We’ll be selling our brand new Chapter 4 books! They came out really sharp. Also, please check our Art Contest! Cash prizes for the winner, as well as lots of applause from the Snow by Night team.
Almanac – 16th Century
January 25th, 2013Our procession through the years continues with the 16th Century in today’s Almanac. It is full of interesting facts. Like that Sherbourg was saved in 1595 by mayonnaise. The colonists used the recently invented condiment to suffocate the typhus-bearing lice that was infesting the town. While the Center for Disease Control isn’t sure whether this works or not in the real world, for the purposes of Corthis, it does.
I got the convention report for Ohayocon uploaded this afternoon. It’s in photo form since people seem to enjoy that the most. You can find it on Snow by Night’s Facebook page. I also invite all of you to submit something to our Art Contest. Entries are due March 1, and there are cash prizes for the first 8 spaces.
