Title: RPG webcomics
Post by: Narf the Mouse on October 30, 2008, 02:20:05 AM
Good ones are rather thin on the ground. Not as thin as good superhero webcomics, of which I found one that wasn't quite good enough to keep up with the update schedule...

...But, anyway.

I'm looking for more.

I've got //www.weregeek.com - Which is awesome.
Order of the Stick - Which everyone probably already knows about, but I only check occasionally since the new plot format just isn't drawing me in like the old gag format, for some reason.
Goblins, which is awesome, but I like more light-hearted fare most of the time. I do check it occasionally, though.
http://www.dungeond.com/ - Semi-RPG. It's about the daily lives of a dungeon's monster crew. It manages fairly consistent interest from me.

//www.roleofthedie.com - Which was awesome and is now dead.
Once upon a table - Which was awesome and can still be googled, but hasn't really updated in two or three years.

So, add yours. :)

Well, I don't really read all that many gaming comics, but there's always Commissioned (http://www.commissionedcomic.com/).

The web comic played out, but the blog is still OK.  Twenty Sided (http://www.shamusyoung.com/twentysidedtale/)

This isn't a webcomic, still I think it fits. I spotted a site where a guy scanned a comic strip from Casus Belli which was the leading RPG magazine in France in the 90s. Kroc le bo (http://www.mystara.fr/kroc/kroc_index.htm) (Kroc the fair) is an unusual goblin who was born from a goblin father and a muse mother. As such he is fair, kind of clever and has one indestructible hit point. Back then I was looking for every new episodes of Kroc le bo because it was quite hilarious. The scanning quality is so so but the guy translated the dialogs which is neat. The ugly Kroc (http://www.mystara.fr/kroc/us/ugly_kroc_us.jpg) episode is one of my favorite and is quite tyical of the serie.

And the comic - DM of the Rings - is still amusing as hell. It actually made me laugh out loud several times, and not many things make me do that.

Nodwick (http://www.gamespy.com/comics/nodwick/)

Darths and Droids (http://www.irregularwebcomic.net/darthsanddroids/)

Dorktower (http://www.gamespy.com/comics/dorktower/)

Failure to update is an all too common problem with webcomics and apparently RPG webcomics suffer from an even higher level of apathy from the artist.

ATland (http://www.drunkduck.com/ATLAND/index.php) is more standard fantasy than gaming, but its close enough.

Tell me about it.  I couldn't muster much more than a detached sense of bemusement out of Sluggy after the first year, and Order of the Stick gets a smile fairly regularly, but DM of the Rings was fantastic.

Dead on.  You can say a lot of things about Kurtz or Gabe and Tycho, but you can't say they aren't devoted to their strips.

Kind of weird that Full Frontal Nerdity (http://nodwick.humor.gamespy.com/ffn/index.php) hasn't been mentioned yet.
