The strip has potential, but that's all it is right now. A couple of comments from a complete laymen regarding wecomics.
1. Did anyone notice that the first page of art was completely worse than all the rest? [I realize it was probably supposed to be done in 'dream' style where things were fuzzy. But shouldn't you want the front to be spectacular?
2. I still find the intentionaly mispellings annoying. We have "R"s and "L"s in this alphabet for a reason. Use them for words like Dragon and Goblin.
3. I find the use of the word "croak" instead of dead to be irritating.
4. I find the whole "croakamancer/findamancer/etc" to be very juvenile as well.
5. The dragon looks more like barney's best friend than something fierce.
But the artwork is pretty! [If you like anime style with sharp outlines.] That's where most of the potential lies. With the artwork, of course. It's like the complete inverse of OotS. You read OotS for the story and the masterful self-mocking of the D&D system. You also laugh at how Rich can convey so much through simple near stick figures. In ErfWorld, the story isn't that great, the D&D mocking is irritating, but the artork is terrifically sharp and well done (for anime style).
Yep, complete opposite of OotS. Night and Day, those two are.

So far it's got some potential, but nothing's really grabbing me in these first few pages. Is it just me, or are some of the characters 2D renders of 3D computer models?
Also, anime? It's cel-shaded, sure. But this ain't Astroboy.
