Backburner 2 - Hearthstone Dungeon Run (Patreon)

For those who don't play Hearthstone, there is a single player mode called "Dungeon Run"where you start with few cards and as you defeat more bosses you get more health, more powerful cards and special "loot" which give you strong passive effects.

I had this idea of a short comic about a bunch of adventures trying Hearthstone dungeon run. The twist here is instead of you being a mighty hero like Jaina or Thrall the group is made from the lowliest units available in the game like Elven Archer and Righteous Protector.

Hearthstone is a popular IP and the comic would be short so I won't need to stop doing Nerf NOW!! or start a new webpage, however the main issue here is the effort needed to do it.

The comic would need to feature full pages instead of just 3 panels while keeping the 5-days a week schedule, plus I would need to write the whole script beforehand.

Also, fantasy comics have backgrounds, monster, action shots and people with fancy armor. I'd say some pages could easily be 3 times harder than a regular Nerf NOW!! strip.

The risk of doing those comics is after I start I need to go all the way and while Hearthstone and RPG fans may enjoy it some may dislike for whatever reason and if the comic has a bad reception I would still need to finish it while leaking readers for weeks.

Compared with the Team Fortress comic idea this has a higher chance of being made but that's a lot of work for unknown benefits and for this reason it end up on the backburner.
