Information AboutAdventurers! |
''Adventurers!'' is a Webcomic authored by Mark Shallow and hosted by Keenspot . The comic is set in the world of a stereotypical Console Role-playing Game filled with every single cliché imaginable - it probably wouldn't make a very good actual game. Though crudely drawn, it offers a large amount of jokes at the expense of all kinds of RPG games. Adventurers! is also the oldest and likely the best known of the scarce few comics of its kind. Mark Shallow is also the creator of Antihero For Hire , another Keenspot comic. The characters show varying degrees of awareness about existing inside a Video Game . The protagonist is the hero Karn, complete with gravity-defying hair and a big sword. He seems not to be blessed with too much Brain s but has an innate understanding of how his reality works. He's the source of endless frustration for his sarcastic Mage sidekick Ardam, who is highly intelligent and rational in a world where buildings on fire won't burn down until the heroes trigger a plot-related event. These two are accompanied by an eclectic group of party members as they journey to defeat the evil villain Khrima. Adventurers! is near its conclusion, as the heroes are fighting the final boss. As yet another nod to the console RPGs it parodies, the comic's strip numbers maxxed out at 999 (because in many console RPGs, the maximum damage any character can do at one time is 9,999). At this point a year's worth of strips have been numbered #999, with sub-numbers to indicate in which part of the Final Battle story arc they fall. EXTERNAL LINKS
