He said on his site that he couldn't print the comic in book form (GW) to make money on it so that's why he's stopping.

So he's not exactly stopping because of GW. He's stopping cause he can't make cash as GW own the IP. Fair enough on GWs part really, it's not like the strip is even that funny.

Yeah i never saw the appeal of tsoalr, what with badly drawn graphics and terrible jokes. The only thing going for it is that it is 40k. And nhe deserves to have been stopped by gw if all he wanted to do was make money from it. |

I've only read the first 150 or so strips of TSOALR but I actually think there were some pretty funny ones that I could relate to from my gaming days hehe It's not all about the graphics

Ive read it all, but I have to say the guy is kinda [tinkle]y for quitting when he cant make money of someone else`s product, this isn`t like Damnatus, that was a non-profit film ... |

I suppose it's only one comic strip, no big deal. GW has shut down far worse - like ebay traders. |

Isn't GW in danger of losing the rights to their IP if they let him make money off it without acting? That is, at least, what I've understood from various discussions online. Standard caveats apply, this might be total and utter bull, but if it's true one can't really blame GW. |

Emphasis mine.... Short version is he is quitting because he isnt getting enough out of it to justify the time he his putting into it. Those of you slamming his style: You have a go at doing 3 strips a week in a better style.... I can't so I shant judge his style. I always found his jokes to play close to reality... The fact that he finally won a game before shutting the strip down speaks to me on several levels as I am a (mostly) losing player who just does this for fun. Edited by dean, 3 Aug 2009, 06:30 PM.

It may not be all about the graphics but all i am trying to say is that if he was going to sell the comic then he would need to improve as compared to many other of the big comics the graphics arent all that great. @Dean- As mentioned above i meant for a sellable product but still why not do only 2 comics a week or one every four days, that wouldnt take as much time and would mean that he would have more time to think up jokes ect. |
