So, I just read the full archives of Looking for Group, which I enjoyed a lot. I'm following it now as they update, but I'm home sick a lot and I've found that I really like having something like that to read over breakfast, clicking through strips one after another like reading a book, so I'm looking for a similar comic. One with continuity, preferably in the fantasy genre although that's not necessary if the story's good. Other than that, I'm flexible. Strip or full-page, color or black and white, etc. Some humor's fine, but I'm not really looking for a gag comic. Just something with a good story and a nice long archive. Thanks!

It´s both gag and storyline oriented. Also very funny.
Achewood
Schlock Mercenary - sci-fi, but 100% continuity and funny.
Dominic Deegan - fantasy/story. Totally shallow, not particularly good, but entertaining.
Order of the Stick - started out as a (really good) D&D spoof comic, turned into a (really good) fantasy story + D&D spoof comic.
I just started reading Machine Flower - http://www.machineflower.com/ and though the archives don't stretch back vastly, it updates regularly and its so well drawn.
I also recently read my way through Johnny Wanderer - http://www.johnnywander.com/ which is more of a 'diary' comic, but still good.
Doc: That's right, twenty five years into the future. I've always dreamed on seeing the future, looking beyond my years, seeing the progress of mankind. I'll also be able to see who wins the next twenty-five world series.

and the first post for this SE++ webcomics thread is amazing.

The 10k Commotion - I liked this back in the day because I thought the art was cool, and I have much love for rhythm game competitions.
By our very own Fletcher!
bonus great Minus comic that you won't get unless you read the whole series: http://www.kiwisbybeat.com/minus37.html
Also, you kukuburi has been pretty great, although it seems to be almost over. It's really well drawn and is a continuous story (kukuburi.com).
Pluto was a planet and I'll never forget

Yes, this is probably what you want. Especially if you've ever played D&D
Weird, but cute and oddly hilarious.
Also the only webcomic where a good two thirds of it needs to have the yakety sax theme song.

Are the top four fitting your criteria that I didn't see linked above, in roughly that order (Erf and GG tied, GG would be higher if they weren't Still on Namek)
Black Desert: Family Name: Foolery. Characters: Tome & Beerserk.
(Retired) GW2 Characters (Fort Aspenwood): Roy Gee Biv
(Retired) Let's Play: Lone Wolf
It is a modern-fantasy comic with a very strong sense of continuity. And it's also my favorite webcomic. I recommend everyone read this comic. It is so good. So very good.
Let's Plays of Japanese Games
Echoing both of these, strongly.
Something Positive is more humor filled, but also follows a running plot with character development, and can get quite serious sometimes. The author has stated that he has an end in mind, but isn't sticking closely to any kind of script or outline, so when that comes is anybody's guess.
Sluggy Freelance. I'll be honest, I haven't read this one in years, and it's been around almost as long as webcomics have in general. But it's also extremely plot-heavy, and due to it's long-running nature, will probably take you months to get through.
Heh I got two friends hooked on sluggy a couple years ago and it took them the greater part of a semester to catch up. Its been kinda in a lull lately but seems to be picking up again.

I can also save you some time by telling you not to real Real Life comics... or CAD, Errant story (because the plot went nowhere), also don't read Megatokyo (the art is amazing, but again the storyline went nowhere)...
do not let the terrible name deter you, this is the most mind numbingly inventive comic on the net.
Oglaf http://oglaf.com/cumsprite/ (NSFW and it doesn't have the longest archive)
Curvy http://www.c.urvy.org/?date=20080329 (its not finished)
Awkward Zombie http://www.awkwardzombie.com/comic1-092006.php
Hitmen For Destiny http://www.awkwardzombie.com/comic1-092006.php (the longest goddamn comic ever, hopefully going to end soon)
I also heard that Platinum Grit is awesome, but I dont know if thats the truth
http://www.platinumgrit.com/comics.htm
Did he start it back up or something? I used to enjoy reading it, but he stopped doing it at one point.
read every one from the beginning and now cry because you have to wait for updates three times a week!
The writing (plotted drama) is okay. Just stay well away from the comments section, because the author's ego will make you want to hate the comic on principle.
Shame.
The Phoenix Requiem is drawn by the same artist as Dreamless, but not the same author. The fantasy element is stronger and more traditional than in Dreamless, and the storyline is continuous. Try it for a similar illustrative style, but different narrative flow.
Also worthy of note is The Meek, which is relatively new, so the archives lack the depth of some other recommendations, but is by all means fantastic.

It's normally an auto-recommend for me, but he did have criteria. I guess since everyone else went off them we might as well keep up the trend.
it had really cool looking art, and I think it had something to do with weird messages randomly arriving at the main character's house.
All I can remember is one chapter where he fights a hobo and then I think he feels bad about it later

It was really good, but the author gave up before finishing.
Fixed your link.
thanks
