Been thinking of making one for some time, just recently discovered the forums and thought I'd take a whack at it.

> You are the MAIN CHARACTER. You know no other names for yourself, aside from the abbreviated MC. You are feeling rather adventurous, but decide that a quest would be a better undertaking. Compensation, non-existent. You are feeling rather bored.
> There is a POSTER of RUN-DMC on the wall. On the wall opposite the DOOR is a window. A TABLE sits in the corner. There is a LOCKED RECEPTACLE in the other corner. What secrets it might hold are unimaginable.
>An OCCULT CIRCLE is crudely drawn on the floor. Someone must have been using this for ACROAMATIC WORKINGS at some point recently.
> What do you do?
Commands are like any other game, but ">MC: Pause and check stats" will let you see your stat levels, health, and abilities.
This is an MSPA, or Microsoft Paint Adventure, a style made popular by Andrew Hussie of http://mspaintadventures.com . The idea is that you suggest commands for the character you're currently controlling (in this case, MAIN CHARACTER) by posting "> [action]". I then draw one that strikes my fancy into the next panel of the comic. Other characters may show up, in which case I'll list new abbreviations to be used. You can do practically anything you want so long as you're not breaking the laws of physics, but i may or may not use it in the comic.
Also, if the stats and abilities system confuses you, just tell me and I'll explain it a bit more. Other than that, have fun!
