Yep, they seem exactly the same as when I started reading.

not at all.

The first pages where badly drawn, and in the very beggining where jokes about the equipment ( i remember one about no one takes the adventurer gear with the bedrolls) the race ( belkar starts like a goblin or a kobold, and then change the race) and some other things.

Now I remember this too - is this some sort of bonus strip (I've never read the Dragon Magazine stuff, so it can't be that), just a mass hallucination,or what?

Maybe you're thinking of a completely different strip, or one of the Dragon Magazine strips?

Before the forum purge, you could actually SEE the original "Here's my first attempt at a new webcomic" link that was exactly the same orignal strip.

Nop, im pretty sure it was here... in fact, the search of traps from haley, was around page 70/80, and now is around 20/30.

There was years ago, and i cant remember a lot more of details, but im sure that the first pages has changed.

The thing is... no one knows where the original ones are?

Are you thinking about Five Foot Steps (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=rpga/hq/polyffs1), by any chance?

edit- No, I'm absolutely positive that there weren't fifty original strips that are now missing from only 3 years ago. I was reading then.

I started reading around strip 76 or 77. I assure you, nothing (at least big enough for me to notice) of the early comics has changed, although I'm sure if Rich had the time and the time machine, he'd have done a few things differently, like retroactively include some of the art upgrades that weren't plot-driven. As it stands, I don't foresee Rich changing anything in the archived versions of the strips - he does that for the books, when desired.

Either you're mixing two different comics in your head, or your memory is playing silly buggers with you.

Nothing like this exists in the Dragon mag comics either. Maybe you're thinking of On The Origin of the PCs?

He did fix up the art in the print books, actually.

And Flickerdart, none of the plots he mentions happen in Origin.

Er...yeah. I did say he did that sort of thing in the books. The sentence after the one you quoted, actually. :smallconfused:

I can testify to the current postings as having been present since 29 went online, and to none being prior to those now posted. I won't guarantee none have been revised, but the Haley arm error is still present in #1.

You're either thinking of a different comic entirely, a fanart comic possibly, or maybe the Dragon Magazine strips. Trust us, if comics had been removed from the online archive, the forum would know about it.

If by "error" you mean "Evidence that Haley has some sort of template that lets her do that, and that's what she meant by 'I'm not exactly what you would call...'" :smallcool:

Best as I can tell, the only thing that's been chaneged is that Haley is holding the IOU instead of the diamond on the cast page, and some typos. But then, Ilve only been reading the comic since about March of last year, so I can't say for sure.

I actually remember that old layout!
I have been a fan since issue 1...

edit: well not issue one but pretty early on.. Issue one sounds better to say

Haven't changed; even have the same old wavy borders.
