3An upcoming, fanmade MotionComic adaptation of [[Tropers/DMMaus David Morgan-Mar]]'s venerable, {{Troperiffic}} webcomic ''WebComic/IrregularWebcomic'', specifically its Fantasy theme, by TAPAS and Stuff Productions. The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJGKqjH109w teaser]], released in April 2023, promises a reimagining of the comic's quest for the Ruby of Dwarven Might.
4
5!!''Irregular Fantasy!'' contains examples of:
6* AdaptationNameChange: The comic's Soul Jewels become the Soul Gems in the adaptation. The Sapphire of Hobbitish Pluckiness is also renamed to the Sapphire of Halfling Pluck.
7* AndTheRest: King Dworin lists six of the ten Soul Gems before lazily concluding "and, er, four others."
8* CanonForeigner: The Pearl of Gnomish Intellect and the other four unidentified Soul Gems were created for the adaptation, for only five of the ten Soul Jewels were identified in the comic. It has been confirmed that if the other five are ever identified in the comic, David Morgan-Mar has his own ideas of what they will be, distinct from the adaptation's invention.
9* CompositeCharacter: King Dworin is the quest-giver, combining him with the unidentified Duke from the comic and the original King Dworin, who was a PosthumousCharacter.
10* ContentWarnings: Parodied by the content warning at the start of the teaser, which notes that the series is not for children... it's not inappropriate, its just not the sort of thing children would enjoy.
11* {{Foreshadowing}}: The series logo hints at the involvement of several elements from the comic, namely [[CelestialBureaucracy the Death Department]], the [[AmphibianAtLarge giant frogs]] ubiquitous to Death storylines, and a RoguesGalleryTransplant on the part of [[Franchise/CthulhuMythos Cthulhu]].
12* ItWasWithYouAllAlong: [[spoiler:The Ruby of Dwarven Might, the objective of the quest, is very clearly adorning Mordekai's belt.]] While this was a legitimate twist in the comic due to the limited visuals, the creators of the new medium acknowledge that it's quite obvious with fully-designed characters, making it more of a case of DramaticIrony.
13* MythologyGag: The recitation of the long journey to reach the Golden Citadel and why, and Kyros and Draak's reactions, are lifted directly from the quest's introduction in [[https://www.irregularwebcomic.net/516.html the comic]].
14-->'''Kyros:''' [[RefusalOfTheCall Sounds boring, let's not.]]\
15'''Draak:''' [[OnlyInItForTheMoney What this quest pay?]]
16* OnlySaneMan: Alvissa as usual, to the point that the teaser alone ends with her suffering a ThousandYardStare. Dwalin has shades of it as well, clearly trying to take the quest seriously and finding the others exasperating.
17* OpeningMonologue: The teaser opens with King Dworin narrating the history of the Crown of Power and Soul Gems.
18* ShoutOut
19** The "and four others" gag is lifted from an Creator/AchievementHunter game of ''[[VideoGame/TheJackboxPartyPack Quiplash]]'', in which Jack Pattillo only had time to read out four of the eight names on the board.
20** King Dworin attempts to dub the adventurers [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings the Fellowship of the Ruby]], which they reject.
