Hello Weregeeks!
I have a quest for you, should you choose to accept it.
The mission is simple – I have a quick, 10 question survey that I need you to fill out! It is completely anonymous, and asks nothing more probing than what your favorite games are (both video game and tabletop).
There is even a reward for filling it out – a brand shiny new wallpaper featuring the cast in their Weregeek forms.
Why do I need this? Well, now that the comic is my full-time job, part of the money that pays my bills comes from the advertising on this site. I need some demographics information to get new advertisers on the site and keep my current advertisers happy so that I can keep on paying the bills and making comics for everyone to enjoy. So, if you could do me a good turn by filling out the survey, I’d be mighty grateful!

Just a reminder, the Fourth Year Anniversary of the comic is drawing nearer, and I’ll be doing a special commissions sale is on Saturday, November 27th. I’ll be drawing custom sketches live on screen! These sketches make great Christmas presents for that hard-to-buy-for geek on your list. Watch for more details as the date grows nearer!

Today’s (Wednesday’s) strip features a very special appearance by the World’s Worst Ninja, Mr. Stan Woo!! (Woo!) Besides the dubious honor of being the World’s Worst Ninja (I mean, look at him – he’s right there, front and center, in the first panel of the comic!!), Stan also holds the honor of being the Bioware QA Ninja Who Tells The Dirtiest Jokes. (He’s just beginning his most infamous one in the first panel. There’s hand gestures that go along with it, but this is a PG comic…)
Stan won himself an appearance in the comic during the Pure Spec charity auction. All proceeds from the auction went to help out the Edmonton Boys and Girls Club, so while Stan’s jokes might not be kid friendly, his deeds certainly are. Stan, I salute you!!
Kaotik4266 Says:
Done, although I resent being bundled with those New Zealanders in the demographics questions! (Especially since we just lost so very shamefully to them in the rugby!)
Forecaster Says:
I want to play tabletop but I don’t know anyone who does! D:

“Do you download content from the following? (Check all that apply)”
Steam
Contrarium Says:
Glad you’re able to work on the comic full-time, and happy to help out with the survey. Thanks for the wallpaper and for bringing us a great comic.
EvilBear Says:
I found myself checking nearly every square in every question.
danvolodar Says:
Eh uh, loved that “Other” variant for places to live. Oh, and I misread the last question, so make that one less No and one more Yes – as much as I hate playing videogames online, I love PnPs.
LuneX Says:
Done that survey stuff….
and then wonderen why there are no widescreen resolution wallpapers available…
i mean…most of the people our times use them…so…
might it be possible to get one??
Camandante Says:
Done, done, aaand done! Happy to particupate! Many thanks for the “brand shiny new” wallpaper! And psyched you’re working on the comic full-time.
:3
Clinton Says:
Survey done. I was hoping for a 1920×1080 image. With the 1600×1200, the moon is oval. Very cool wallpaper, regardless!

Fijiman Says:
Hell, I would have done it even without the wallpaper offer. I’d just like to note that when I’m not on my 360, I’m on the internet reading awesome web-comics like this one.
Yurei Says:
Agree with TPRJones. I missed Steam on the list.
Foxfier Says:
*two thumbs up*
FurryNerd Says:
A heap of things about gaming lol
Ah, I’d love to try LARP/Tabletop/Pen&Paper RPGs but I don’t know anybody who does it =P I don’t think it’s as popular here in aus…
joe Says:
i want to order a print of alinas tribute to garry gygax but i cant find it…i just need to find the date it was posted on so i can order it, pleez help me!
Plasma Man Says:
I’ve just finished an archive binge, reading from the first comic. I’ve finished the survery as I love the comic and am very happy to help.
hielario Says:
I LOVE my new and delicious wallpaper even when it doesn’t fit completely in my crazy laptop’s screen -the feet got a bit cutted, but it’s still awesome. I even repositioned the bar and icons to see it better.
Bloopbloop1313 Says:
Tabletops rock my socks, but some Larps are really good! WoD is the bestest!
minion-for-hire Says:
Will the results of the survey be published? I’d be interested to see what the geographical distribution of readers is: one of your current ads is for a UK based LRP supplier and has photos of several of my friends on their front page!
William McDuff Says:
Yaaaaay, surveys!
Whee!
joe Says:
plasma man do YOU know wht day the gary gygax tribute was posted?
Layne Says:
Joe, just send Alina an email letting her know that you want to buy that print, she’ll email you back with a price and you can pay with the Tip button.
thisfox Says:
It worries me that most of what was there I didn’t tick: I hate consoles, and I guess my interests are esoteric or something. As often happens, I am left wondering if a) I’m too old, or b) I’m too set in my ways, for most webcomics. Not even one question about what I buy online? Hope it helped, anyhow. I’ve probably just confirmed your outgroup. Sigh. Your comic rocks, anyhow. In case you were unaware
Dracolych49 Says:
That wall paper is very nice. But yeah, I would have done it, even w/o the wall paper. Ah, the back stabby goodness of Vamp LARP. Not quite as good as my Son of AEther and the Death Ray of Doom(TM), but still…
spika Says:
hey there did the surveyI must say I found it interesting how much of the geek I am .I have watched your comic from the beginning and your art skills have grown a lot and I enjoy looking at both story and skill
