cartoons allowed?

Post by Boldek »

some one suggested a wesnoth cartoon to me, and I was wondering whether such things were allowed in the wesnoth forum? because no where in the posting guidelines does it say such things are disallowed, so I was just asking, what is the details?

Depends on what you mean by “cartoon”. I’m not aware of anyone making an actual animation series based on Wesnoth.

Please be more specific.

I don’t see any problem with that (on the contrary, sometimes users and developers take themselves too seriously around here!) as long as the actual contents stick to any applicable entries in the Posting Guidelines (in particular, no rude and/or obscene language/imagery(*cough* xkcd *cough*)). I suspect the term you are looking for is “web comic”, though.

I’d prefer Off-Topic if you are able to host images off-site, but otherwise I think Users’ is more appropriate than Art Workshop as it’s not UMC art or a general “request for art critique” topic.

Semi-related, but mostly not related comment: I would love to, at some point, get a community-produced newsletter going again. This would be a prime candidate for inclusion if I ever stopped being lazy.

Flametrooper, Bob_the_Mighty and Syn_Err made some comics a while back in this wiki page. You may want to take a peek and get some inspirations. :)

That... would be a political cartoon. I'm pretty sure that's not the type of cartoon we want endorsed by Wesnoth.
