Poll : Next Week's Theme

It must be poll time! Vote for what next week's comics are about

Don't forget that you can submit ideas for future polls here : Patreon Guest Comic Submissions | Matthew Wills on Patreon

Patreon Guest Comic Submissions

Hello,

I am now inviting you to submit your comic ideas using this form. I will be closing all avenues for idea suggestions for non-patrons. I think that the weekly poll we've been running has been a great success this year, and I want to expand your influence over the series a little bit more by letting you help decide what those poll options are - I'll aim to make at least one of the four options a Patron-powered one each week.

Thanks for helping shape the future of Swo...

Swords Season Four in Chronological Order

That's all for now. See you in March for the 5 year anniversary!

This is quite a large file. I apologize for working with a bigger canvas each year.

Swords Season Three in Chronological Order

This season is much more straight forward! Quest Sprout begins his adventure as the adventurers of Hiltshire take down the Demon King! QWEST!

Swords Season Two in Chronological Order

You may still find elements of this reordering hard to parse, as some of it happens before, during and after the Swor'nament arcs of Season One.

The second half of this book is entirely standalone stories, but many of them build on elements of Season One, or set up new plotlines in Season Three and beyond. I've tried to group the ones that have recurring characters together where appropriate.

Enjoy!

Swords Season One in Chronological Order

Swords has many intersecting character storylines, but this .pdf file rearranges the first 200 episodes into an order which should make things a little easier to parse.

There are still "flashbacks", as things are focused more on telling each characters story arc than simply putting in them in literal order. Hopefully you'll make some new connections between characters storylines reading it this way.

Enjoy!

Poll : Next Week's Theme

Swordtember is over! The poll returns!

Welcome!

Hi,

I have a lot of new patrons today, so I just want to quickly welcome you all to the Patreon and say thank you for supporting me!

To put into perspective where I'm at currently:
- I did a pretty poor job of staying on top of Swordtember, whoops! I'll try to get one or two more done.
- The first week of October is a Quest Sprout kind of week.
- I'll open a poll for what the 2nd week of Octobers comics should be soon. If you're new, I normally get patrons to vote on what...

No poll for the next month

I've made my own Swordtember list this year and I will be using that instead of doing weekly polls. You're welcome to join in!

In October, my third Makeship plushie will be going live. In the meantime, please support Travel Goblin's qwest to get funding - he's at 91% funded!

Sprout Scout Digital Rewards

Hi,

Some people were having trouble finding these because they're not under the #quest sprout hashtag, so.... Here they are again - some avatars and wallpapers and such.

I'll add some more digital content next time I make Sprout Scouts available as a tier - is there anything you would like to see added? Thanks!

August 2022 General Update

Sorry, I know I meant to start doing these monthly but as is often the case, it didn't really turn out that way.

The last two months have been kind of tough for me. I lost a family member, my front tooth has been knocked out (don't ask) and getting an implant is going to be a long road ahead; plus I've generally been dealing with a lot of piled up stuff. Both exciting opportunities and problems I've been dreading.

I have an impossibly long list of Swords-related chores to take car...

Paladins of Patreon refresher post

My dear Paladins,

This week I'm more clearly defining my three core Patreon roles :
Paladin of Patreon
Scholar of Patreon
Royal of Patreon

Some RPG related content will be moving up from Paladin of Patreon to Scholar of Patreon, including access to any new versions of the RPG Maker game Merciless Dungeon, and access to some new Dungeons and Dragons content. You can still access the things that were posted in the past.
If yo...

Poll : Next Week's Theme

To me, Paladins!

As you may have noticed, over the last month I have been working very hard to tell grouped stories to make things a tiny bit easier on the endless waves of confused readers. With that in mind, I'm letting you, my esteemed crew, pick next weeks theme in the poll below. Choose wisely!

Weekend Blog Post

To my swordmasters,

Like I mentioned last week, I've been working on creating a sustainable schedule for a 3 comic work week, along with other tasks - part of that is making a weekend blog post here on Patreon, because it's always been my intention to spend more time here. 

I'm currently looking at getting a collectible coin made for high-tier patron supporters - bronze turns out to be ...

The Office Tour

Hey guys, it's been a little while since I showed off my office space, so I just wanted to show you how that's looking.

I've been trying to find a good couch that folds out in to a guest bed, but nothing feels quite right.

I've been talking to a few different reps from different companies, and am currently trying to nail down a content schedule that I can maintain to grow my brand and keep them all happy. It goes something like this:
