Also D&D based, also pretty good (though I have to say, story is not quite as good as OOTS in my oppinion). The annoying thing about this one is the REALLY slow pace. The creator is definitely a perfectionist.

incidentally, that's where my current avatar is from...
be warned... if you get into reading the ongoing story you'd better make sure you don't have any plans for the next few days
I've been waiting for that one to end. I read the one prior to it and when I caught up I had to wait for updates, so I figured the current one would last like a year or so like problem sleuth did but nooooo it's still going.

I caught up in the middle of the 1st troll arc, and ever since then I've basically been refreshing the page like 7 times a day to check for updates...
I have only had time to read one so far. My cousin just told me about it. We read the "There is a raptor in my office." http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/3p1/

Yes! Been reading it for a while now. It's awesome.
A while ago it was getting kinda preachy, but lately I like it a lot.
Anyway, I'm almost out of comics to post. Here's one I just discovered a couple weeks ago: http://www.erfworld.com/
It's similar to OOTS in the game world turned real + awesome storytelling part, but this game world is way WAY weirder. I am constantly amazed the author manages to make me take the story and the characters seriously considering the world it's all set it.
I looked through the archives but really can't find a representative strip to post. It's ... unique.

Did a bit of MS Paint Adventures with Frigidus about a year ago... I was a fan of the codpiece adventure... haha. It was unfinished when we had gone through it, though.. I haven't done anything with that since then-I wonder if it has been completed...
Renewed yet infused with apathy.
Let's just have a good time, all right?

If you mean bard quest it has been abandoned a long time ago. Homestuck is still ongoing though, it just passed the 3 year mark... with over 6000 pages so far.
What I really like about homestuck is how it really pushes the definition of what is considered a webcomic. You could say it is effectively re-defining the medium, or taking advantage of everything a web-based comic can be... I honestly think webcomics shouldn't only try to emulate regular paper-based comics, just like movies shouldn't try to be exactly the same as books, or tv-shows shouldn't try to be the same as movies, etc.
I'd love to see more webcomics utilizing the full potential of internet as a medium, ie. more pages with animation, sound, interactivity, etc. while still retaining the serial format of a comic.
That's pretty cool and I hadn't heard of it before. Danke.
In other news I can't believe I forgot about 1/0
wikipedia wrote:1/0 begins with the author quoting the Bible as saying "Let there be light!" He thus proceeds to steal the throwaway character Barnacle Jones from the webcomic Absolute Tripe. Other characters evolve through Tailsteak's manipulation of this new world that Mr. Jones finds himself in.
Most of the characters are fully aware that they are fictional, and indeed frequently converse with Tailsteak himself—he was the only character who remained in the comic from the beginning and until the end as an invisible, godlike entity who communicated with the other characters and the reader through text panels. To a greater degree than most works of fiction which lack fourth walls, 1/0 explores the nature of fictionality itself.[4] Characters create other characters, and even create their own miniature works of fiction, about which they have debates on such matters as whether it is immoral to inflict harm upon their own, meta-fictional characters. The first long-time character was "Junior," who was created from an eyeball of "Ribby," an anthropomorphic rib who in turn was created from one of Barnacle Jones' ribs. Later characters were similarly created from what was available to the characters. All the various character personalities in 1/0 over time became very separate from the author's personality, and what started as a comic without a purpose became a metaphysical study in religion and psychology, among other things. Tailsteak often tries to blur the line between fiction and reality by making the characters drastically different from himself, and at one point the characters all go on strike and refuse to move or talk until their demands are met.
1/0 is also noteworthy for its lack of backstory. The majority of the characters were created during the course of the story, and thus did not have character introductions in the traditional sense. They develop and evolve explicitly, without a past that has to be revealed to the reader.
natty dread wrote:Sounds interesting... so it's basically like a character-driven story taken to the extreme?
Yeah, basically he created some characters and then tried to draw the strips purely based on how he thought the characters would act if they were real. Like he's filming a documentary or something.
It starts pretty crude but gets interesting before you hit comic 100. I remember them discussing on what level the characters exist, what happens to their existence when they aren't being drawn and so on.
