I started the Bastârd Elf main page today. There's not much there right now but the comic is at least a year away. But don't fret, DCI isn't going anywhere in the near future (it has at least a full year left in it, if not more). This thread will serve as a Q & A for the new series. Although it's worth mentioning that things are prone to change in the time between now and when the comic starts. To start off I'll answer some of the most obvious questions. Feel free to add your own (they don't have to be very formal or direct, just speak your mind). 
When will Bastârd Elf start?
Not until late 2007 at the earliest. Probably around the Holidays (November or December). The comic could be pushed back to early 2008, depending on how things go.
Does this mean the end of Dungeon Crawl Inc.?
Eventually all good things must come to a close. DCI will continue over the next year but the first chapter of Bastârd Elf will not be released until the final issue of DCI has aired.
What is Bastârd Elf about?
It's a spin-off of Dungeon Crawl Inc. The comic will follow the adventures of Arudin, now largely a solo operator (at least at first) as he grifts and cons his way to fame and fortune. The story takes place aproximately 25 years in the future, on a new fantasy world of my own devising (allowing me greater creative freedom then working in pre-established worlds like the Forgotten Realms).
What will Bastârd Elf be like?
The tone of Bastârd Elf will be a bit different from it's parent series. Whereas Dungeon Crawl Inc. is chiefly a comedic series with swashbuckling elements, Bastârd Elf will be a swashbuckler with comedic elements. Rather than being a weekly comic featuring primarily talking heads, Bastârd Elf will be released in large chapters once a month, and utilize a more comic book framing style. You can expect big panoramic frames and more detailed drawings.
