I saw this trailer for the game SUMMONER, and it was the craziest thing I'd ever seen. It was like some actor's party where the characters from the game were all hanging out playing an RPG.
If you aren't talking about SUMMONER GEEKS, created by The Dead Ale Wives, then I haven't got a clue.
Even though this video is 14 years old, sometimes I watch it again for a knowing nerdy laugh.
All that remains of the Dead Ale Wives today is this video and a Wikipedia page.
The actual game, Summoner, has its own Wikipedia page and remains available at Steam.
However, even though the group split up and went their separate ways, Rob Schrab went on to become the creator of the popular early 2000's comic book, SCUD: The Disposable Assassin (which became the popular video game)*, and co-writer of the Dreamworks movie, MONSTER HOUSE.
1st Degree: Artist and writer, David Hartman, along with Dan Harmon, worked on the stories in Rob Schrab's SCUD comic series, and again with Harmon on the short series, LASER FART.
2nd Degree: David Hartman also contributed to the graphic novel collection, Robert S. Rhine's SATAN'S 3-RING CIRCUS OF HELL.
Feo Amante, along with artist Gahan Wilson, provided the Forward to the comic book.
