For those not familiar with it, Erfworld is a strategy gamer / fantasy webcomic that started out on the same site as Order of the Stick, the stick-figure D&D parody.

It's a story about a strategy game geek who ends up, due to a literal minded summoning spell, in a strategy game mechanics 'verse, supposed to become "the perfect warlord" for a badly losing side. It's also packed full of pop culture goodness. (e.g. Charlie's Archons, business jargon -powered flying women working for a mysterious chessmaster, who bear a more than a passing resemblance to a certain trio of detective ladies...)

So, for all things Erf, here's a thread. Shout Outs spotted and explained, wild conjecture on plot and Erf Physics, WTFs, whatever. Discuss.

The latest comic, in addition to the wonderful symbolism of

Hm. I need to start reading this again. I peeked at a few of the newer comics, and to be honest I liked the old art style more.

Dance fighting is ALWAYS the way to go.

I stopped at the end of the strips hosted at GiTP; I suppose I should keep reading.

It's a good series. Although the flip-flopping between past and present at the moment messes with the pacing a bit. When he's done with that I'll need to go back and read each part separately so I can get the proper effect of each.

Some of the pages (and puns) are just epic.
Like the newest page for instance.

Just saw this, so sorry it's a week or so out of date...
In order of appearance in that particular comic -

Emperor Palpatine
Dr. Doom
Dr. Gero
Agent Smith
General Zod
Khan Noonien Singh
Beetlejuice
The Joker

The costumes seem to be the movie varieties (if there is a difference) - General Zod is wearing his outfit from Superman II instead of from the comics, for example.

This comic is awesome. Been reading it since it came out on GitP.
