Thanks for linking Existential Comics, nockermensch. Those comics made my day.

Your freedom to add and change rules in the middle of the game is in direct conflict with my ability to understand that rules system before I decided whether or not to join your game.

In short, your entire post is dismissive of not merely my intelligence, but my agency. And I don't mean agency as a player within one of your games, I mean my agency as a person. You do not want me to be informed when I make the fundamental decisions of deciding whether to join your game or buying your rules system.

I archive binged Schlock Mercenary last weekend after somebody linked to the middle of it. It was pretty amusing, and I like the amount of foreshadowing in each book.

I'm waiting for this piece of foreshadowing to come to fruition...

Muh Phoenix

The guy who made the Nuzlocke comics also parodied the recent-ish X-Men V. Avengers comics. Like all his work, it is unfinished yet hilarious.

Nobody recommended Strong Female Protagonist yet? I'm not the only one to think it started kinda lackluster, but it improves quickly and greatly; do start from the start, and it has alt-text.

So in Girl Genius, anyone think that Hoffmann may be Agatha's Cousin via her Uncle?

Since he first was introduced I thought he looks a bit like Barry H, but I figured he was just a minor character and it was only a coincidence... until today's panel with "Hoffmann the Hero" and the characters talking about how his adventures didn't make sense.

Not much about Sparks and people associating with them makes sense.

So I just found a completed webcomic called "By Crom" which is basically a joke a day single panel comic about Conan offering advice to the author on mundane issues-

The subtitle is "Conan the Barbarian is My Spirit Guide." It was awesome. I have both collections.

I might start imagining how a barbarian would respond to whatever trivial shit I'm dealing with...

Strong Female Protagonist
http://strongfemaleprotagonist.com

About a superhero who figures out that beating up criminals doesn't sold any of the underlying structural problems that cause crime.

Also, Erfworld seems to be updating on a regular schedule again, has a buffer and an art team.
