Throughout his 25-year career, alternative cartoonist/screenwriter Daniel Clowes has always been ahead of artistic and cultural movements. In the late 1980s his groundbreaking comic book series Eightball defined indie culture with wit, venom, and even a little sympathy. With each successive graphic novel (Ghost World, David Boring, Ice Haven, Wilson, Mister Wonderful ), Clowes has been praised for his emotionally compelling narratives that reimagine the ways that stories can be told in comics. The Art of Daniel Clowes: Modern Cartoonist is the first monograph on this award-winning, New York Times–bestselling creator, compiled with his complete cooperation. It includes all of Clowes’s best-known illustrations as well as rare and previously unpublished work, all reproduced from the original art, and also includes essays by noted contributors such as designer Chip Kidd and cartoonist Chris Ware.

Alvin Buenaventura recently started the publishing company Pigeon Press. He previously published artistic and insightful graphic novels, books, and prints under the imprint Buenaventura Press from 2003 to 2009. Buenaventura also edits the monthly comics section for McSweeney’s literary magazine, The Believer. He lives in Oakland, California.

Meltdown’s own Satine Phoenix (http://satinephoenix.net/) is Hosting a 4 table Celebrity gaming event. Each table, with up to 6 players per table, will be running the same adventure written by Celebrity Writer Keith Baker (creator of Eberron, who will also be DMing one of the 4 tables.)

With a minimum payment of $1 you can watch how one table of creatives solves this adventure. Don’t limit yourself to one group, watch all 4 tables! But that’s not all, you’ll be able to purchase the adventure as a PDF for $5 to play with your own group of gamers!

The proceeds will then be announced the following Monday (allowing all who wish to continue to donate through the weekend to do so) and presented to Reach Out and Read.

Dear Los Angelinos who play D&D and/or other RPGs,

We here at DnDMelt are looking for a few good men and women to be on our team of Super Dungeon Masters. We will be running games on Thursday nights and Sunday Days. Perks for you will be *Free DnDMelt Monthly Membership! and DM swag… Amongst other things I’m wheeling and dealing for and will post about soon.

As DMs, you will be my Knights of the Round Table. I am looking for Men and Women I can rely on to show up when they say they can and be on time those days. You will not be required to DM every gaming day. I will work with whatever schedule works for you because you are my Rockstars! You are my Magic Makers. Without you we can not game.

If you are interested in DMing please email DnD@meltcomics.com with:

Name:                                  Email:                                  Phone #:

Preferred gaming platform: 
Are you willing to work with beginning players?
Do you want to run an ongoing campaign or One Shot Adventures?
Are you ok running One shots with different players each time we run gaming sessions?
How many players can you manage at a time (max amount)

This is an ongoing search. If you aren’t a DM but know of one to ask please please do. We here at DnDMelt are changing the way people see #DnD and we want you to be a part of it. Thanks everyone and I look forward to meeting you all really soon!!

Hi everyone! I was sitting at Meltdown comics earlier today with a couple of DMs prepping for my first Thursday DnD game day. I am really excited to meet everyone and to make the LA DnD community blossom. Right here. Right at Meltdown.

There are so many changes coming up! We will keep thursday night DnD and are also expanding into SUNDAYs! 6-11 on Thursdays and 11-6 on Sundays (two sets of games 11-4 & 2-6). AND for the month of October all game days hosted by me are FREE! Please email me at DnD@meltcomics.com so I can get your info and get you into a table of players that will be best for you!

One of the perks to having me in charge is food! If you’ve ever seen the web series “I Hit it With My Axe” you’d know my favorite thing to do while gaming is eating so there will be food and drink. We will be offering a monthly membership starting November 1 which also enters you into the weekly raffle. The raffle prize on November 6th is the Dungeons and Dragons Board Game “the legend of Drizzt”! (over a $60 value).
Things you can look forward to in the near future are DnD Mixers, pancake Sundays and multiple table adventures. Tons of swag! Lots of new friends!

I’ll keep you all posted with details. This is going to be a fantastic new year indeed!

DnDMelt!
