History Webcomic / ADVENTURERS

* MundaneUtility: Khrima uses a KillSat to [[https://web.archive.org/web/20150906195105/http://adventurers.keenspot.com/d/20030430.html make toast]].

* NarrativeProfanityFilter: In one strip, Dreker complains about having his speech censored; his swear words keep getting turned into SymbolSwearing or the word "spoony". Eternion, however, turns out to be capable of bypassing the profanity filter and using uncensored swear words.

* PeekABangs: Ardam, as well as everyone from his hometown.

* {{Cameo}}: Hero and Cherry from ''Webcomic/RPGWorld'' appear in the background when Maxima Termis calls for 'a spiky-headed hero and his sidekick'. The later when Eternion announces in a newspaper that he's making a bid for Final Boss, another article in the newspaper is titled "Galgarion to gardners: Prune or Die." In turn, Khrima made a cameo in ''RPG World'', appearing in the hallway at Eviltown U.

The storyline is now finished and the comic no longer updates. You can start at the beginning [[http://www.giantrobot.club/adventurers/2016/6/15/001-100 here]].

A sequel series, ''[[http://www.giantrobot.club/adventurers-two Adventurers!!Two]]'', is now running.

* AcademyOfEvil: As shown in a flashback, Khrima, after taking some [[https://web.archive.org/web/20150906195105/http://adventurers.keenspot.com/d/0207.html courses in evil subjects]] in senior high, enrolled in [[https://web.archive.org/web/20150906195105/http://adventurers.keenspot.com/d/0208.html Evil University]].

* EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs: When the party gets a TimeMachine, it's implied that they ''had'' to use it to [[https://web.archive.org/web/20150906195105/http://adventurers.keenspot.com/d/0147.html go back to the age of dinosaurs]]:
-->'''Ardam''': Couldn't we have skipped the T-rex adventure?\\
'''Karn''': We had to do that! It's like some unwritten...

* DancingPants: Just one of the many possible RandomEncounters.

* BonusBoss: Why does Karn want to fight it? [[https://web.archive.org/web/20150906195105/http://adventurers.keenspot.com/d/0224.html Because it's there!]]

** This actually happens with several characters early on, mostly because the series hadn't switched from its gag-a-day nature. Later on, many characters were merged into the story line, but many of the less defined ones didn't make the cut.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: Builds up quite a roster by the end.

* TwoGamersOnACouch: Parodied in a one-off SomethingCompletelyDifferent [[https://web.archive.org/web/20150906195105/http://adventurers.keenspot.com/d/20030401.html strip]], with Karn and Khrima as teenagers laughing too much at ''VideoGame/{{Xenosaga}}''.

* AffectionateParody

* HalfHumanHybrid: Despite looking completely human, Karn is quarter-[[WingedHumanoid Skyrian]], [[https://web.archive.org/web/20150906195105/http://adventurers.keenspot.com/d/20020508.html as revealed]] via painfully straight AsYouKnow; his father is half-Skyrian. The green hair probably should have been a giveaway, unless you count on YouGottaHaveBlueHair. Also, Karashi and her sister are half-dwarf. They get their looks from their father.

* GameBreakingBug: In-Universe, one boss attack [[UpToEleven breaks the game disc!]]

* StandardStatusEffects: Parodied.

* NotSoDifferent: Khrima tries to play this card on Karn. [[https://web.archive.org/web/20150906195105/http://adventurers.keenspot.com/d/20051122.html It doesn't work.]]

A sequel series, ''Adventurers!!Two'', is now running. It can be found [[http://www.giantrobot.club/adventurers-two here]].

* HiddenElfVillage: Chookie leads the party to [[https://web.archive.org/web/20150906195105/http://adventurers.keenspot.com/d/20011115.html Chooktown]], the secret abode of {{Small Annoying Creature}}s. Drecker sees it as a PlaceWorseThanDeath.

* FrickinLaserBeams: Khrima demands that his engineers put lasers on everything, [[https://web.archive.org/web/20150906195105/http://adventurers.keenspot.com/d/0331.html even ballistic missiles]]. He later [[https://web.archive.org/web/20150906195105/http://adventurers.keenspot.com/d/20021111.html fires one of them for inventing a weapon better than lasers]].

* VideoGameGeography: [[https://web.archive.org/web/20150906195105/http://adventurers.keenspot.com/d/0345.html "The world is not round."]] Like many other RPGs, [[WrapAround if you go off of one side of the square world map, you end up on the other side.]]

* EvilerThanThou: Eternion is clearly more evil than to Khrima and attempts to usurp the role of True Final Boss.

* GlobalAirship: In a world that has airships, [[https://web.archive.org/web/20150906195105/http://adventurers.keenspot.com/d/20020618.html there are still places you can't get to except by flying on a bird]].
