Some old-school Everquest reads....

[Smellybuttface]

I was thinking about some of these old EQ reads earlier today.

First is just a funny set of in-game antics of one “Fansy the Bard”:

Second is a fairly decent web-comic based on EQ. The writer/artist did up to 480-ish pages of it, though sadly never finishes the story. Fair warning if you start it but are unhappy when it ends rather abruptly. Still, goes through quite a few good story arcs up to that point:

There was a third I was going to put. A comic called “Reflex” about a Froglok with some bad ass combat abilities. Sadly the site seems to have been taken down.

If anyone knows of anymore good reads of the sort, please share with the class. Otherwise, enjoy these if you haven’t seen them before.

I tell my non-gamer friends about Fansy all the time, I wish he'd done more.

Not really Everquest related but just RPG/DND, the Order of the Stick is awesome. http://www.giantitp.com/Comics.html

I remember Skater Gnome or something like that. It was pretty funny.

GUComics old EQ strips are pretty good

Hahaha I loved fansy way back when eq was new... I thought he was hilarious... "ohs nos now I'll never get my epic!". Another one I used to love was Jhared's diary from tarrew marr.. he is why I chose to play on that server but I don't know if that website is still running.

Here's a more practical one I found awhile back.

The Bard's Log comic was pretty funny. Sadly, I can't find a full copy anywhere. The archived version is missing a lot: http://web.archive.org/web/200212190...ts/bardlog.htm

It's funny, while searching for it I stumbled across a thread I created in 2006 asking if anyone had a copy of the comic: http://brellrants.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=7138

Someone had a copy and hosted them for a bit... I'm sure I downloaded a copy and then lost it again. Anyone have a copy?

Also, help! My life appears to be going in circles!

Oh, man! Never heard of Fansy before, but that was awesome. That "Corp Por" callout had me laughing out loud. Go Skara Brae Rangers!!!

Fansy was awesome. The EQ comics were great too! Thanks for that guys!
