Default Murphy's Law

So yeah. I'm making an OOTS-style webcomic. It's comedic, yet an ongoing storyline. It starts out with a multiclass Fighter/Paladin named Lloyd Zephyr looking to organize an adventuring party, and quickly mushrooms from there into something much bigger...

So, yeah...Enjoy!

MURPHY'S LAW

Current comic:

#26: Seatbelts Help Prevent Whiplash

They won't show up for a while. She's the last character to join the party. But it will be a long story arc.

What did you like about this comic?

Oh, and Astrid is a Neutral Good goddess of my own creation. Janine is Chaotic Good.

(Can you see who's in the background?)

Nice comic so far. You've done well making the characters dynamic rather than overly copying and pasting like a lot of fancomcs do. The jokes are also funny so far.

Keep up the good work! I'm looking forward to seeing more.

Thanks for the input.

Yeah, I'm still working with Inkscape. I'm really not sure how to do some of the finer stuff yet.

I have the panels planned out in my head before I do it. I've got the next comic all planned out.

Yes! Five webcomic makers I almost sorta kinda know!

Is Remus going to be a main character? Deceptively useless animal companions are the best.

Yes they are. I find it provides for a greater range of movement. It may be OOTS-style, but that doesn't mean I can't take some liberties to fit my own preferences.

Apparently I haven't said anything yet, but I'll be watching this comic.

Also, I almost got Murphy's Law mixed up with Godwin's Law when trying to remember what the title meant. Now I'm wondering how a webcomic based on Godwin's Law would work...

My life expectancy in the Playground would be measured in seconds after the first post, no matter how much I tried to excuse myself by saying, "I'm Jewish, I can say it, it's okay!"

WHAT is Murphy's Law by the way?
I thought it was "Sods Law" I.e. anything bad that can happen will happen...

Love the Half-orc joke!

By the way, you should set up your first post the same way I set up mine. Putting direct links in an archive and posting the newest one in image form. Otherwise, eventually the thread will slow down.

He's actually a full orc.

I'll probably do that around comic 6-8 or something.

If so, then his strength would be 12 since he gets a +4 to strength and the standard starting stat is 8.
