FoE - Fellowship of Eragon.
As the banner indicated, I will shorten The Fellowship of Eragon to FoE.
Danish Comic in English Wrapping?
Yeah, I tried to construct a tag line to encompass the fact that it is an
english comic on a danish website. As it is a danish comic I want to keep it as
available in that language as possible, even though the comic itself is written in
english.
Another reason is to avoid people being scared away by the user comments in
danish.
The name.
FoE was made up in a hurry, as I had to come up with a name for the web host to
create the comic page. Obviously, it is derived from the Lord of the Rings
title, The Fellowship of the Ring. I do realise that it will present a problem
when the movie is done, since there will be no sequel to the movie the comic is
based upon.
This Resembles Something.
Indeed it does. This comic is entirely inspired by the webcomic Darths and
Droids. It is intended as a tribute to their comic and to the D&D movie comic
genre in general, though it will take a long time to reach their level of comic
creating skills.
If you want to call it rip-off, go ahead. I simply respecfully disagree. ;)
Characters.
Originally I only intended to have the three players: Chris (The GM), Sean
(Mainly Brom) and Cody (Eragon), but I came to realise that a fourth character
was required, as it would be the best way to control Saphira. Thus Zoey was
introduced. It is my wish to keep the player group at this level, as it yields
more space for character development.
The GM
As in the greater sires of D&D movie comics, Darths &
Droids and DM of the
Rings, the GM plays an important role. He defines the game, and therefore the
comic in general. In DM of the
Rings we saw a GM bent on keeping his players on
preset tracks. Then in Darths &
Droids, the GM was more interested in
entertaining the players by yieldind to their ideas.
In FoE I chose a third type of GM. A first-timer. As I have never played D&D
myself (Yes, a bit odd) I could hardly create an experienced GM. Thus I made a
team of first time players and GM, framing the comic as the first game they ever
play.
