Recently, a good friend of mine reminded me of some work I did back in the days where Gothic was a brand new game, quite some years ago. The “work” in question, is some comics set in the world of gothic, using a very simple cut’n’paste alike method. Naturally, the point wasn’t about making eye-candy, but give the ones who played Gothic a laugh. Seeing them again, the thought about doing something similar with WoW could be rather fun.

So, I present to you, the comics I created back when the world was still young, hosted by RPGdot, since they seemingly saw potential in it. Follow this link, and read on to the 3 pages that follows, while you enjoy seeing Me, Mud, Diego, the Dam Lurker and many others once again.

… yes, SpanGi was my previous nickname back then, although – thankfully – it never got to stick.

EDIT (September, 2013): Hilariously late edit, but decided that it was probably helpful to add the – otherwise lost – comics to the actual post. One of them did, sadly, get lost, but seeing as 10 of 11 still survived, it’s not the worst loss I’ve tried. Either way, enjoy!

Comic 01: MARVIN-Mode

This actually happened while I was fooling around with the MARVIN-mode of the game, and is a prime example of A.I. that was way ahead of its time. I thought that controlling a Meatbug would be a safe bet in not alerting the guards, so I spawned a troll in the city to see the chaos that ensured. However, the guards ran past the troll and whacked me instead.

Comic 02: Wilhelm Tell

We all hate Mud. I figured this was a fitting way of showing it.

Comic 03: Hero vs. Orc Warrior – Take 1

Something that has to happen if “Gothic – The Movie” ever has to come to reality. Found in the “Outtakes”-section. No animals, orcs or humans were harmed under the production of this comic.

Comic 04: Dam Lurker

I always had a thing for the lurkers, and the Dam Lurker was always a good source of entertainment.

Comic 05: The Lost Comic
Yeah… that’s the one that got lost. I vaguely remember it was something with an ore-joke, based on the infamous quote “Shiiet, he doesn’t even have any ore on him!”. Here’s to hoping that I might find out, eventually.

Comic 06: In the Sect Camp

Always a fan of good puns. Found this one to be … well, yeah. No further comments needed.

Comic 07: Swampweed

I can’t really recall how the whole silly-speak got into this, but at least some good “Stranger”-refences made it there.

Comic 08: Sheep

Because we all love worms. And sheep. And cute sheep too!

Comic 09: Windows

Cheap-shot jokes are always worth it.

Comic 10: Leap of Faith

The Matrix, a good use of the “Some people never learn”-line.

Comic 11: The Sleeper

Good old Cor Kalom. Those monks were rather noisy, after all.
