Gosh, that purple crystal hammer looks fragile!

Complains' double has his intact pants from the past... possibly my favorite detail here.

[Mephisto]

For some reason it's upsetting that the doubles aren't the same between the separate comics.

Thaco in the past comic is in the same location as red hammer guy in the latest. Thaco in the latest comic is in the same location as black/gray thing in the past.

[Egan_BW]

It's a totally new set of doubles. Wonder if that means anything?

Suddenly everything makes sense!
Also, I don't remember that image of Ears off on the right side of the page.  Seems to be doing well...

More revelations were had.

In a universe that's very genre-savvy, saying "you still have your paladin powers" isn't enough to show that you're still a good guy.

Update. Sort of.

Guest comics for the next few weeks. Thunt wants to work on that card game of his for a while.

[Xantalos]

Two or three years ago, I ran a Kickstarter with a small gaming company called Evertide Games. Our goal was to raise $30,000 to create a Goblins card game called Goblins: Alternate Realities. We raised over $180,000 which the head of the company stole and disappeared with.

Since then, I’ve been working two jobs. Drawing the comic and creating the card game. It’s been rough and it feels surreal to say this, but I’m seriously almost done the card game. So I’ve been spending the last couple weeks burning through the last of the work on the game. I know this sucks for those of you wanting the comic to update, but just imagine… in (hopefully) another couple weeks, I’ll be working ONE job for the first time in years! The comic can update faster! I can do crazy things like leave the house for non-essential reasons!

So I’ve hired NaniRoxy (who happens to have his own webcomic called SwitchOut) to write and draw two guest pages for me. While these pages aren’t canon, they’re gorgeous and awesome. The second guest page should be appearing on or around July 14th. After that, I’ll be back to work on the comic with the work on the card game (again, hopefully) behind me.

As far as the release date for the game, that’s still unknown. I’ve been in talks with people and I’m optimistically hoping to be able to provide a copy of the game to the backers who were promised one all those moons ago. I’m also hoping that the game will be available to purchase for everyone else.

I’ve gotten my hands on the Kickstarter backer list (which was tough, since that legally belonged to Evertide as the KS was in their name) and if/when the time comes, I’ll start the task of going through the thousands of names to make sure that the information is up to date and accurate. If you’ve moved, don’t sweat it. We’ll find each other. We’ll make this happen and get you your game. For now, the focus is on finishing the artwork (which I’m proud to say, is hundreds of cards covered in original art), playtesting and design of the game. Later on, will come the ‘hunt down every backer I owe a copy of the game to’ phase. I want to stress that nothing is guaranteed at this point, but it’s looking good. It’s looking like this might actually happen.

What amazes me so much, is the overwhelming support I’ve gotten from the Goblinites. When I held my breath and made the announcement that the money was stolen, I honestly thought that might be the end of my career. I expected a lot of hate and anger but instead, I got love and support. This is the reason why I’ve been working on this game like I have. The years of effort I’ve been putting into it is a direct reflection of your support, trust and patience. And now that I’m almost done this phase of the process, I’m genuinely proud of what this game has become. It’s creativity and fun over profit and product.

It’s something I’m honestly excited about handing over to you.

Thank you.

Basically he's been trying to hand-finish the game out of guilt after the guy he partnered with ran off with his moneys. Rather admirable effort if I do say so myself.

[penguinofhonor]

Yeah, plenty of people have given up on a Kickstarter after something like this.

It's a shame the comic has to take a break, but there was apparently a ton of work to do. He mentioned on his Twitter recently that he was considering paying an artist to help him finish the game, but it required so much work in so little time that no reasonable person would accept the job. I guess hiring someone to do guest strips was his compromise there.

[Egan_BW]

Kickstarter: not even once.

[Mephisto]

I'm now wondering if there was a negative response to the guest comics. They appear to have been wiped from existence and replaced with a generic "update soon" image.

[Rolan7]

Aw, I hope not.  I thought they were fine.  Nice take on the art.

[Xantalos]

Huh, didn't know the guest comics were gone. That's a shame.

[Rolan7]

Update
Welp

[Egan_BW]

And then they all die, the end.

Haha just kidding. Everyone but names will die.
