Cast pages

Ok time for my big bitch about webcomics. Cast pages. If you've got a regular cast larger than say FOUR, you're going to need one. Not just for new people arriving, but for those of us who've been here a while.

So two examples. First up is Goats .
Ok, now you're at the comic. Look there up the top. Bios. Divided into seperate categories of characters. Now go back a day and click on the extended info. Wow. List of EVERY character in this strip. When they first appeared and other recent appearances. Just wow.

Now lets go and look at Gaming Guardians . Nothing. Not even a bare bones list of the main characters. There are SIX characters in today's strip. And mention of an off-panel 7th. I can tell you who Radical, Angus and Brahma are. I vaguely remember Tartarus but can't really tell you much about him. Queen Mab is some kind of evil faerie person (and I mostly know that because she appears in The Guardians, Greg's GraphicSmash comic). But the other two? No idea. And what is Tartarus' problem? No clue.

I'm thinking of dropping Gaming Guardians from my daily trawl. Just because I find myself lost, more and more often...
