Me too. They were my favourite strips, right after Butler strips... until Kurtz decided to ruin him by making him LolBat.

How did I miss this?The fact that he still yearns for feedback, even though he is the high and mighty Tastemaker who sits upon his throne accepting Facebook blowjobs

Miss what?
Apparently the D&D team at WotC have never read PvP. Or Ding. Or that extremely brief story arc starring Val and her friends. Or the Trenches. Or Tales by Tavern Light. Or any of the other projects Kurtz has started and then eventually lost interest in. And seriously, how the hell does D&D look like the PvP logo turned upside down, aside from the upside down 'p's looking like lowercase 'd's? Did they change the D&D logo to d^d at some point, and I just missed it?

I've said that before, too.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Good joke. Good joke. I needed a good laugh. If TT publishes once a month he's got 2-3 years of plans made, maybe.
I really try not to rag on Steve, but this is just something (planning out long term) that he can do. He's announced on more than one occasion that he'd plotted out more than a year of PvP in advance, and stuck to it for a month or so (actually seemed to make his productivity better) and then go off into the pasture, wander around aimlessly and forget what he was doing out there in the first place.

I like PvP, wish it would return to form, but I really don't like Kurtz, and there is history there for me. He went off, just off, on a couple of my old Bomb Shelter bros with no real provocation, and even I got in on it. DJ Coffman was an acquaintance and BSC friend, and I sided with him during a couple Kurtz Coffman shitstorms. Believe me, those were shitstorms that were dead center in royal clusterfucks.

I remain pessimistic about Scott's ability to follow through with this side project. I give it a year, tops. And that's me getting into the spirit of the season.
I seem to recall that there was a lot of "advance planning" going into The Trenches as well, and that just hasn't been good, at all. The official D&D webcomic. Well, I guess they had to respond to Paizo's Pathfinder comic book series, which is being written by Jim Zubkavich and interior art by Andrew Huerta. Too bad all they could get was Scott Kurtz. The thing is, the whole concept that Table Titans is going for - a wacky group of gamers striving to be the best gaming group ever - has already been done in David Nett's excellent webseries "Gold". I can't help but think this is going to be the same few dozen classic gamer jokes we've all seen time and time again, with the occasional spotlight on a WotC product.

Maybe it's just that I'm a fan of Pathfinder (both the system and the comic), but this made me laugh like hell.
Personally, I don't know that I could get into a D&D comic in Kurtz's art style. It feels a little too Saturday-morning-cartoon for the sort of setting/story I'd expect.

Holy crap... that guy was my instructor many years ago when I was doing classical animation at a small little technical school.
I was making a joke about me missing the fact he was taking facebook blowjobs, since I'm one of the few objective posters in this thread.

It was in one of doomdragon's "Birth of Halforums" comics.
Today's strip was funny I guess, but it feels like its either going to be a weak plot resolution or after Cole apologizes to Francis, he and Marcy would go off somewhere in the office and secretly get it on like Donkey Kong. Edna and Seymour style.
Well Skull and Francis were able to film a public access show so yes. Of course whether everyone could see Skull is up to debate.

Can he? I forget.
Now Skull not being visible by Max Powers was always weird to me. The reason Brent says that Max couldn't see Skull was because he was a selfish jerk who didn't care about something he couldn't gain profit from, but was he really that selfish? I mean hell, he helped save PvP TWO TIMES(though the first was to finance his video game company that Kurtz forgot existed). I'll admit he was a might ambitious of an entrepreneur and said "Zing!" all the time but he never seemed like that bad a guy. Plus him being a jerk was kind-of retconned when he asked Brent and Cole "*Sigh* Why don't you guys like me?" This basically showed that his entrepreneurial persona was merely a guise to impress others including his supposed college friends Brent and Cole. This makes him not necessarily selfish, but merely looking for the approval of others like a normal person especially his supposed friends Brent and Cole. I guess you could say wanting people to think highly of you is selfish, but I've always thought selfish meant only caring about your self and not caring what others thing about you. So if you think about it, that story-line made the reason for why he couldn't see Skull impossible! So maybe before this story-line I could buy that he was selfish, but after it no way in hell.
Fun trivia, Skull's real pre-crisis name N'arak T'rako. Of course he could've been making this up along with his lie about being female but I still think its a cool name.
