[color=rgb(0, 153, 0)]Many of you will have answered an in-game audience research question last week about whether you’d want to back a Kickstarter for an FL comic. To be clear: A Pinch of Snuff was already finished when we asked that. We’re not that fast-working! We had already planned to put it up as a taster and gauge reaction, to see if it was worth taking further.[/color][color=rgb(0, 153, 0)]

[color=rgb(0, 153, 0)]So, if you like it, tell the world. Share it, link it, pimp it. The further it gets, the more chance there’ll be more of it.[/color]
[color=rgb(0, 153, 0)]["but wait I want more FL game content instead!" Relax. There’s a reason my name isn’t on the credits for this comic: I’m currently the FL writing resource, and that’s my focus at the moment. If the comic gets attention, that means more focus on Fallen London and less on client projects… and ultimately more FL content.][/color][li]
This looks good, and the Clay Man threw me as well, lowest common denominator being the usual way of things. It reminds me of this Penny Arcade strip. My Dearest Wish - Penny Arcade
“[‘but wait I want more FL game content instead!’ Relax…]”
It makes me sad that this has to be said, but I know people appreciate the explanation. I can also imagine the internal rage that never makes it out in public when someone responds to something like the above caveat with an even more entitled and clueless brain dropping. Hopefully, you don’t get any of those this time.
P.S. Vote (and back!) Graphic Novel. I definitely want more.

[/li][li]Sadly, neither link is working for me right now, but that may be because of a DNS issue with my ISP or something.

Thanks for your suggestion, but I have tried both links you reference here and neither works for me. [Nor does the green box link from the FL login page.] The first link you mention goes straight to an error page associated with my ISP, and the second goes to Failbetter’s blog page, which has a comic-specific link that goes…to the error page associated with my ISP. That’s why I think it’s a DNS lookup issue. I will get to see the comic eventually, I am sure.
Oh this is lovely. Fallen London is great, but sometimes the format can make me lose focus and get confused as to what the plot is supposed to be. A more traditional and focused narrative will be excellent, I’m sure.
I too agree with the consensus here that this looks glorious. My compliments to the artist and to the writer. I eagerly look forward to more.
If I am understanding the announcement correctly, pages will be released over the coming days. However, I also wonder if this is going to be an ongoing story, 6 pages a week or so, or if this is simply a one off story of six pages.
