Well folks…. it’s come to this. May 20th, that’s Sunday next week, will be the 10th anniversary of Yet Another Fantasy Gamer Comic! I’ve been trying to time this mighty saga to have its climax on that day, but in order for it to get there, I’m going to have to slip back to my strip-a-day format for a week. So, the next strip, #2907, will be posted here at the site on Sunday, May 22nd and I’ll be updating every day until Monday, May 30th, with a somewhat special post on Sunday May 29th, the date of the actual anniversary. Stay tuned!

And as pointed out, by May 20th, I mean May 29th. The 0 is right next to the 9 and …. well… ugh.
It’s too bad that Glon’s probably not needed at the moment back home and will probably be sorely missed in terms of the sheer brute force he can bring with the group.
"Love to mother" that’s pretty adorable. On a mission to save the world and he has his bro tell their mom he loves her.
I’d love to see more family stuff with them once this plotline is over, Lucas getting to meet his neice/nephews would be cute.
While always happy to see more story, don’t push yourself just to meet some artificial deadline like the anniversary. I don’t want you to get burnt out. There is plenty of story to tell after May 30.
She’s an orc, she’d probably be cool with it if you were, Glon.
What? You are going to be ending this? 🙁
I took it to mean the current arc?
Hope so, took ‘epic saga’ to mean the whole thing
Glad to see what Rich came back with below. 😀 There was something in the grammar that led me to believe there would be comics after May 30. It was in the way he talked about switching back to 7 days/week until the climax. Made me feel like he’d go back to his usual posting schedule afterward.
To me, it seemed liked he wanted to end everything on the 10th Anniversary
Ummmmm … Today is May 20th? But I get it. Sunday 29 May & Monday 30 May are the important dates.
Well. Actually. EVERY date that YAFGC posts is an important date.
Rick, your doing gawdzownwerk, man. If you make deadline, that’s great, but don’t put any undue pressure on. Just what you’re comfortable with.
Also, when you open with "Well folks…. it’s come to this." That sounds frighteningly final. Not that I’d ever demand or ask you to do more than you want to, but I do _hope_ you mean just the current arc. So long as you enjoy & wish to put out installments of YAFGC, be assured they will all be appreciated.
Ah, to clear things up, I have NO intention of ENDING YAFGC. Sorry I keep giving that impression, but what I actually "intend" to do is make it better after the 10th anniversary. I have bigger ideas, more stories, extras… and I love my characters to bits so I’m not ready to let them go anytime soon.
Thank you to everyone who sticks with me through thick postings and thin. I hope YAFGC continues to give you all fun and adventure for at least another ten years to come.
I was saving that speech for Sunday, but I figure I’d better not panic you all now.
*hugs Rich and all of his characters… then flees, as she is in serious danger of being eaten by a goodly number of them* Sorry, was channeling Cuddles there. 🙂 Extra stories always good, having stories extend long into the future even better!
Whew! That’s cool, man. Glad to hear it. I can sleep easy this week now. 😉
Sorry I’ve not been commenting more often of recent. Life’s been busy, but I don’t miss a day checking. I love all the characters in YAFGC, too. Often I find myself daydreaming in idle moments about who and what they are, and what other stories are going on in the side arcs that there will never be time to tell (Turg and his Sphinx in particular come to mind at the moment, so glad they and their kids just showed up again).
I won’t take ten more years as a contract or anything, but I’ll certainly do my best to be here for them.
Also, sorry I misspelled your name in the other post. I know better, just typing too fast to proof it all before clicking post. Never any disrespect intended. Ever.
As always, Thank You !!
I always read YAFGC. Always always. 😀
"Sorry I keep giving that impression"
You didn’t. Your writing, as usual, was clear.
t!
TEN YEARS??!? You rock so hard, Rich — woohoo! <3
This is one of the few webics that _always_ check every day
Ten years is one heck of a milestone <3 good job, Rich!
So glad to hear this won’t be ending. I’ve been reading for years. <3
Have I ever mentioned how much I like Glon for taking so much care of his wives?
And after what happened to Shaija, it’s more than understandable why he’s so worried about the others.
Seriously. The guy takes out an *entire tunnel* and gets accused of being a lily-liver?
t!
I wanna cuddle the lady characters, if they wanna. Even the harpies and Dark Mistresses, ’cause I think they need it. And a hearty handshake to Rich for his dedication.
