What happened to Tony Mosley and Zogonia?

Dark Archive

Hi,
I just reread the awesome Zogonia-strips in Dragon and wondered what happened to Mr. Mosley and his work.
A few months back he announced on his site that he'll take a break, but didn't mention a reason for it.
Now his site is plain empty; there's only the background to be seen and nothing more.
Zogonia was always my favorite RPG-related cartoon (and one of the highlights of the monthly Dragon, at least for me) and I'm a little sad that it seems to have gone and that there's not even the archive anymore.
So, does any of you know what's up with Tony Mosley?

Btw, I know that there's a collection of his cartoons avaiable through Paizo. But I'd like to see more of Mosleys twisted humour...


Me too. Maybe his giant, intelligent mushroom ate him.


I would like to know this as well. Between Tony's work on Zogonia & Kyle's work on Downer, the Paizo run of the magazines (RIP) gave me some of the best RPG-comics ever. I'd have to go back to 1st edition Fineous Fingers and Wormy to find that kind of enjoyment. Of course, I'm an OOTS fan as well, but most of those didn't come from the print magazines.

I can say that no RPG-comic made me laugh harder than the Zogonia strips. I really, really miss those.

Likewise.

Zogonia was one of the things I looked forward to when I bought my monthly fix of the old Dragon magazine. :D


I truly loved Zogonia, but Mount Zogon was a real gem. It was hiliarous, the way he slowly revealed just how crazy the druidess was. I enjoyed every single issue. Come on back Tony, your fans are dying for more intelligent (?) mushroom jokes.

I hope Mosley's not going to pull a Trampier.

Indeed. Dragon would've dumped him anyways when it went all digital. Maybe when its all said and done he got out on top.

Agreed, loved both but Mt. Zogon is my choice for the best one...

I especially love how effortlessly and sympethetically he can write characters of evil alignment...


I resubscribed partially due to Zogon / Zogonia, partially due to Age of Worms.

I respect his privacy too much to bother the man, his business is his business, though his home address and phone number are on the whois listing for his website.

I was just going to post the same thing, so it's good to see I'm not the only one missing Zogonia. He's way overdue for his announced 6 month hiatus - I hope everying's okay with him and we get to read more of his work soon.


I understand why he took away the free Zogonias on the web, he wanted people to want his book more. But why, oh why, did he have to take away everything? I miss Mt. Zogun!

"There is a parasite in that tree!"
"Stand back, I'm going to save that tree!"
"Aiiiiiii!!!!!"
"What was that?!"
"It is called a dryad."

Apologies for resurrecting a decade-and-a-half-old thread here, but for whatever reason, this has been really bugging me recently.

After hours of digging, all I could find about Moseley's whereabouts was this extremely short and enigmatic ENworld thread from 2017.

Apparently, even the Paizo staff have no idea what happened to him, according to a 2015 Tumblr post from Wes Schneider.

I was poking around, and found that Tony Moseley setup a new website and vimeo account 8 months ago. They're about his legal troubles, so I'm not sure it's appropriate to post here.

Still, he's alive. Although I don't know if he has any interest in making new comics.


Happened upon my copy of Slice of Death recently, and I thought I'd look up Tony again.

His "Unholy Master of Evil" website is now down, and his Globboplok YouTube and Patreon are both inactive. I guess I'm lucky to have caught him flit back onto the internet before disappearing again.

I wasn't expecting him to be making comics again, but I still hope he's doing alright.
