If it's hosted off forum, you want the Webcomics section, not the fan comics.

The best answer is always to ask your DM.
Unless you're the DM, in which case you should talk to your player.

OotS-style comics go in Fan Comics, according to the guidelines, regardless of hosting location.

Nothing. The characters have quite a bit against it, though.

There'll probably be some enormous twist revealing that 4e is actually fighting for the forces of Good towards the end or something.

I think it's mostly just a few of the earlier ones. It gets better.

But if you had meant Zanaril, you're using the wrong gender pronoun.

I'm pretty sure the reason Remember and Anti Heroes had to move to webcomics is because they sold merch and asked for donations.

Though I could be wrong.

Yeah, well, I certainly can't afford to sell merchandise.

Page 51 - Panel-Based Humour - Secret Santa 2009

As the name implies, it was part of a Secret Santa event, and was not actually made by me.

I'd like to get the comic into a regular schedule. I'm thinking M-W-F at the moment.
