# Comic/Auction > PGF Project Outline

## Overview
Artist and visionaries might be considered public goods in themselves worth investing in, but their reach may be limited without a team of developers, marketers, and coordinators. These areas of concentration are beyond their skill set. We envision a set of overlapping work streams that share resources (personnel and others) to execute the interconnected primary deliverables: the comic series and the associated marketing/sales platform. The *Universe Guide* (not part of this proposal) will track the canonical changes to the lore and supplement the coherence of the open-source narrative.

# Notes on Comic Client Coordination

### Overview
- The comic production team will operate under the existing PGF/Library work stream.
- The team will strategize a shortlist of DAOs for the ongoing comic series based on the orgs offering to the regen cryptoeconomic stack.
- It is essential to consider sustainable economic mechanisms to ensure the longevity of the project and avoid becoming vampirific to Gitcoin.
- All of the lore and mechanical leanrings will be integrated into the *Universe Guide*, which will be overseen by a seperate/autonomous work stream.

### Questions
- What will be the next DAO featured in the comic series?
- How will the team make the decision?
- What is the nature of the relationship between the creative team and the selected DAO?
- Can these core issues be dealt with in Comic #4 so future comics can iterate upon (or fork) a strong core foundation?

### Hypothesis
- DAOs might be selected based on integration of their protocol to a larger rengerative stack.
- The lore of the DAO might be expanded by the creative team beyond the scope of their own marketing strategy in order to create coherent relations to the larger web3-DAO ecosystem.
- Incentive mechanism might be identified and elaborated to encourage the DAO to invest in the project, utilize/leverage the funds with their own protocol, help to strategize the development of the transmedia outlets, and condone the distribution of the work through their own local community.
- Integrating these learnings into the *Universe Guide* will set a precedent for future DAO-to-DAO collaborations, so the lift will become progressively lighter/leaner.

### Core KPIs
- adding mythological depth to existing and future campaigns
- elaborating transmedia potentials (dendritic tangents)
- extending a tether between internal creativity and external regen cryptoeconomics.
- The UG serves as a vetting mechanism for projects and contributors. It provides proof of work for new and unknown contributors. Anyone can submit content for consideration.
- - The 3 most important KPIs for evaluating the resiliency of new projects and contributors:
    - sustain the project (the artists or team)
    - sustain the work stream
    - generate value for public goods

### Provisional Roadmap
#### Comic #4: RaidGuild and the Phantasmagoric Moloch part 2
- Elaborate a reboot of *The Greatest LARP* campaign, [similar to this process](https://hackmd.io/@TravisWyche/ry5WIippK).
- Finish the heroic cycle initiated in part 1 to reach narrative catharsis.
- Elaborate the characters introduced to expand upon web3 freelancer roles.
- Focus on open-source lore scaling from the individual to the collective.
- Go deeper into the psychological complexities of Moloch!
- Illustrate more principles of the metaverse-as-UI concept by elaborating the connection between comics 1&2, 3, and future editions and lay the ground work for a crypto-native metaverse theory.
- Lay additional ground work on public goods lore!

#### Comic #5 (speculative): Yearn Yield Farmers and the Blight of Moloch!
- Retro and reconsider if a larger/autonomous work stream is necessary, or to abandon this idea, [based on this framework.](https://hackmd.io/@TravisWyche/Proposal-MetaverseCoordinatorsWS-Season13)
- Begin a new tradition of implementing the super powers of the protocol being developed in the comic narrative.
	- The funding for the comic project will be staked using the Yearn.finance stack to move towards a regenerative mechanism for the project.
- Explore yield farming: educate on DeFi fundamentals as a foundational building block for regenerative finance
- Expand upon the pseudo-agricultural meme by exploring the correlations with physical agriculture.
