I've got "Slice of Death", which has kept me from total withdrawal, but its not the same. I miss the monthly antics!!
Tony Moseley's Zogonia site has been blank for some time. Anyone from Paizo heard from him since Dragon went bye-bye? Any chance of him and Paizo teaming up for a sequel to "Slice of Death"? Domato's Delvers wouldn't give up without Kev stabbin' something....

That was one of my all-time favorite strips. I was hoping that when James announced the 10 pages cut off from the adventures in Pathfinder, that the "side trek" mini-adventure would still leave a few extra pages.
To be filled by...either a new Kyle Hunter strip, or the continuation of Zogonia (my preference) or Mt Zogon. Hell, even 1 page of Tony's stuff would do!
I don't know what had caused Tony to leave Dungeon before the end of the mag's run, but if he were willing and able, I would submit more "Ayes" than a gallion with hydra sailors.

I totally miss Tony and Zogonia. I thought he had a website, but I haven't been able to find it recently.
The only site I was aware of was this but its had all the strips taken down for quite some time. I did some searching around and there's not much info out there. Even the wikipedia pages on Zogonia and Mount Zogon were deleted! ("Non notable"? Who are these guys!)
If I was the suspicious sort, I'd be getting, well, suspicious that there is a plot to bury this comic.
I check the site every few months hoping that maybe it will be back - but so far, nothing. I haven't heard anything about what if any future plans there are for Zogonia and Mt. Zogon, or for new projects either.
It would be great if someone at Paizo could contact him and let him know his fans are waiting for something to read, laugh at, and buy.
Look, I can still draw! Getting Paizo's Harrow illustrations out the door was so grueling that I pretty much stopped drawing for a year. Now that I've settled in to Impact, and those 12-hour days are becoming more rare, the creative juices are returning. I'm going to start posting more illos to Flickr, and give up on my grandiose plan to save the world with an elaborate illustration web site.
Ahhh, Zogonia. I missed this one so much that the idea of creating a fansite that collected all of Moseley's works that was not published in Slice of Death crossed my mind a year or so ago. The book was a killer, easily one of the funniest comic I ever read.
I suppose Tony took his website down because it could lower the sales of the book. A better move would have been to remove a certain percentage of the strips that were published in the book and continue the adventures of Domato's Delvers and Galeena in his spare time as a webcomic. Maybe after a while he could have done it full time, who knows.

Not sure how I missed this post, Snorter, but a belated thanks to you for it. I don't have a Facebook account (and never will, sorry...), so thanks for the quote. I'd ask what "Impact" is but this is already a threadjack, so I'll find out some other way.
As for Zogonia...sigh...not sure I've ever laughed so hard at a d&d-based comic. Truly a loss not to have this around any longer!
I read an editorial in... I think Knights of the Dinner Table?
Someone had tracked Tony down to make an offer to publish another book, and he basically said he was out of the biz and had dropped off the face of the earth so people would leave him alone. Something about the industry had rubbed him the wrong way and he just wanted to forget about being an illustrator.
It's sad, but he was pretty adamant that it wasn't open for discussion. I only wish I could remember where I read this...

Damn. I've never thought of this industry as one that eats its young, but I guess there are casualties along the way. I'm sorry to hear this.

Are you sure this wasn't Dave Trampier's story? Because, according to Dragon #359, Trampier was tracked by Jolly R. Blackburn (of Kenzer & Co. - publishers of KotDT) for a compilation of Wormy comics, and was told to be left alone, just like in your report.
The website is still blank, but it's still there. I don't know if that means anything.
I always enjoyed reading the new Zogonia and Mt. Zogon strips. I had kind of forgotten how much I missed them until I looked at "Slice of Death" the other day and remembered.

Correcting myself over a year later: You may be right. Sorry for any confusion...
