Over the course of its history, the webcomic has accrued a suite of recurring storylines:
* '''Ethan and Lucas''': The original and most famous storyline, starring Ethan, Lucas, Lilah and Zeke. Originally starting out as a gag strip, on-going stories would become more and more common, usually spurred by Ethan's antics. As noted above, it ended just over a decade after it first began.
* '''Sillies''': Black and white three-panel strips like you'd see in a newspaper, these would often be used to provide quick gags based on current events, usually while an ongoing storyline was running in the main comic. Has a tendency to go on long hiatuses.
* '''The Console Wars''': A comic that uses a war setting as a metaphor for the actual UsefulNotes/ConsoleWars (game publishers are weapon manufacturers, for example). While it has the most ''frequent'' hiatuses, this is by necessity, as it only updates when major events happen in real life, such as the release of new tentpole games or systems.
* '''The Campaign''': The Players in a game of TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons, with their adventures depicted as [[ImagineSpot Imagine Spots]] within the fantasy setting (but often interrupted by their own antics at the table). Is the current iteration of The Players, a set of four Players who represented Players 1-4 of a multiplayer game, and were famous for brutally murdering each-other on a regular basis over petty misdeeds.
* '''The Starcaster Chronicles''': Starring retired and jaded space cop Cort as he stumbles upon the Starcaster, an incredibly powerful superweapon that can alter the state of galactic politics simply by who happens to have one. Is notable for being a ChooseYourOwnAdventure where Patreon subscribers can vote on story decisions (it's then uploaded in full on the main site with the decisions revealed later).

Also features Scott as a good guy, Lilah as a budding news writer, and Zeke as a liberated ninja robot learning his way around human culture and why he shouldn't murder all of them.
** Starcaster is heavily inspired by an earlier storyline, ''Ethan [=McManus=]: Space Archeologist'', which (similar to Analog and D-Pad) [[UniversalAdaptorCast recast]] the characters of the main storyline with the same CYOA structure, only in an [[Franchise/IndianaJones Indy]] InSpace setting that time.
On top of all this, the comic also has "One Shots" that comment on particular events, either being wholly self-contained, set within one of the existing stories above between their arcs, or even a fictional depiction of Buckley's real life as a gamer and parent.
