Handbook of Erotic Fantasy: Birthday, Part 1/3 (Patreon)

I get the sense that Chippendales birthday parties are something of a tradition with Team Bounty Hunter. Bottomless cosmos, hunky guys, and plenty of woo…. What red-blooded, definitely-female humanoid wouldn’t jump at the chance? 

Of course, Fighter isn’t the only birthday girl on the block. Five years ago this month, The Handbook of Heroes came into the world all shiny, fresh, and new. She started off as an innocent young thing, full of pop culture references, horse-in-the-dungeon gags, and chutzpah. It seems like only yesterday our geeky little brain child was introducing her first recurring character. Soon we were naming unicorns together, discovering new friends, and making story arcs that would last a lifetime. 

Then it happened. That sordid temptress known as Patreon entered our lives. Fighter became Femme Fighter, and our sweet young comic was somehow transformed into a shameless hussy. I never thought I’d live to see the fruit of my writerly-loins bent over a random harlot table, but here we are. The Handbook of Erotic Fantasy came into the picture on June 23, 2017 (3 years, 2 months, and 19 days ago as of this writing) compared to the September 7th, 2015 lauch of the SFW version. But you know what? The HoEF is every bit as much a part of Handbook-World as the main comic. And so I say happy fifth birthday to all and sundry. And many happy returns. 

Returning to the business at hand, however, it doesn’t look like an especially happy one for poor Fighter. Stuck in the same predicament as when she first encountered that fateful girdle of feminity, Fighter remains too embarrassed by her emboobened state to ask Cleric for a remove curse spell. She’s done an impressive job keeping up the charade so far, especially considering her abysmal Bluff score. But with an increasingly suspicious Inquisitor on her trail, an adorably misguided Ranger making amorous advances, and the whole of Team Bounty Hunter on the lookout for their next big score, I doubt that Fighter’s ongoing quest for manhood will end any time soon. (Unless of course you count that half-orc dancer’s manhood. Woof. Dude’s hung like a Duraflame log.)
