Today's daily* Schazer adventure recommend for things you should follow/suggest in: Strandido, by SirBlizz98.
There's a mirror! The backlog is a very reasonable 70ish panels to catch up, 20 of which are not found on our fine forums. The haps to date: you're Alexander Porter, you've washed up onto a desret island, and you've been making friends and making crabmeat of the local crustacean population. You've got an erstwhile package, something sinister in the forest, and a ~mysterious cavern~ hidden behind an illusory wall.
There is art! Some of it moves! I'm no expert in art theory but Strandido's got simple shapes, clean lines, and a delicious color palette which is really effective at setting the mood, from "lush Pacific paradise crab fraternising party" to "desperate combat midst tropical storm"**. The giffery is low-key but goes a long way to making the setting lively.
"But Schazer, you charming bastard," I hear you ask, "are there words?" To which I say, "Yes!" Strandido has words, and I rather enjoy them. They've got that sorta-rambly, wordplay-laced, kinda-irreverent quality I strongly associate with "classic" forum adventures. I'm not saying that tone's appropriate in every adventure setting, but coupled with Strandido's art style and what we've seen of the setting/story so far it's a fine pairing that really scratches my itch for forum adventuring Days of Yore.
It updates on a at-least-once-a-weekly schedule currently, so it's putting my "update ""schedule""" to shame!!! Thanks for bringing your adventure to Eagle Time, SirBlizz, I'm enjoying it a lot and I hope others do too!

peace to the unsung peace to the martyrs | i'm johnny rotten appleseed
clouds is shaky love | broke as hell but i got a bunch of ringtones
eyes blood red bruise aubergine | Sue took something now Sue doesn't sleep | saint average, day in the life of
woke up in the noon smelling doom and death | out the house, great outdoors
staying warm in arctic blizzard | that's my battle 'til I get inanimate | still up in the same clothes living like a gameshow
