What is Champions Challenge?
Champions Challenge is the first FASA Games Authorized Webcomic centered in the Earthdawn
cannon. Meet B’zhet, a young T’skrang male that never “really”
believed that he could ever be the fabled Champion. Hull, his t’skrang
Mentor, or Chaida has filled B’zhets head and heart with stories
of the challenges the champion will have to face. The only problem is
that Hull was forbidden to train any hopeful champions other than
B’zhets sisters. Now, after over 200 years the old legends and tales
look like they are happening. The need for a champion has never been
greater, and Hull sends B’zhet on a quest. Will he come back to save
his home with their salvation, their champion, or both?

1879: And Now for Something Completely Different
Hello once again FASA fans. For this week’s developer post, I’m going to be taking off the Line Developer hat for a moment and putting on the one for IT Manager (yes, I’m currently doing both jobs) to address something that has been asked for by many people for quite a while. Don’t worry, this is still semi-related to 1879, at least in part, just not the core game books.
After some very late nights (and vacation days from my day job), I can finally present to you the live and updated sites for both Ha’Penny Pie and Champion’s Challenge!
For those of you that aren’t aware, Ha’Penny Pie is our web comic set in the 1879 game world, and Champion’s Challenge is set in Earthdawn. Both are written and drawn by Don Higgins.
The comics have always been a complicated thing for us, having to shoehorn them into the existing post structure of a web design that was never intended to function in that way, and redoing the structure would throw all the other posts and game information out of whack. With the comics having become such an extension of the game worlds (spoilers if you haven’t seen Champion’s Challenge 105 yet), not to mention a showcase for the fantastic work that Don does, they needed and deserved their own showcase to be put on display properly. It has taken a lot of time to get what we needed to together to make that happen, I appreciate everyone’s patience while that was set up.
As of now, that patience is needed no more! Check out the full site for Ha’Penny Pie at http://hapennypie.fasagames.com and Champion’s Challenge at http://championschallenge.fasagames.com (including today’s earlier post). You can browse the full archives of both comics, tag pages with a virtual bookmark if you need more than one sitting to catch up, and of course post comments on individual pages. I recommend bookmarking these home pages in your browser, as they will be updated automatically when a new comic is posted (I’m told Ha’Penny Pie should be resuming likely some time in early July, stay tuned for more details). The links on the FASA Games home page for the comics will be updated to the new sites as soon as this blog post goes out.
Thank you again for everyone who has shown patience while these upgrades have been completed, and if this is your first time hearing about the comics, enjoy the new stories to read!
