Erfworld is a story-driven comic fantasy webcomic written by Rob Balder (the author of PartiallyClips) and illustrated by Jamie Noguchi. It is hosted on Giant in the Playground Games[1], the website famous for Rich Burlew's "The Order of the Stick".
Erfworld follows a graphic novel format, with a new "page" released every update. It setting is a predominately fantasy turn-based strategy with a surreal, reference-filled narrative.
Recognition and Acclaim
In its brief existance, Erfworld has been recognised and received acclaim from a wide variety of notable sources and webcomic authorities. Authors of other notable webcomics (not including Rob Balder himself) such as Howard Tayler of Schlock Mercenary[2] and Mohammad "Hawk" Haque of Applegeeks[3] have posted reviews and comments about Erfworld, and it has been cited in numerous respected webcomic sites such as Comixpedia[4] and Fleen[5], by outside authors such as Jonathan Coulton [6], and perhaps most importantly by Time-Blog and Time magazine author/journalist Lev Grossman in his article Webcomics are the New Blogs[7].
