Looking For Group started out as a lighthearted comedy series parodying common Fantasy tropes. It has evolved into a long-running, dramatic fantasy story with many characters, a huge world and impressive plotlines.
Unfortunately, the author, Sohmer, still wants it to be funny. The drama and engaging plots are undercut by hamfisted pop-culture references and too much leaning on the fourth wall.
In short, Looking For Group could be either an engaging fantasy epic or a tongue in cheek parody of that exact genre, but it tries to be (and fails at) both.
