Gaming Guardians is a Keenspot webcomic by Graveyard Greg, started on May 7, 2000. The comic's universe is based on the premise that every game system (be it official or fan-made) exists as a separate alternate universe, alongside the Primary System (portrayed as real life). The premise of the complex storyline is that every NPC in every gaming system is unaware of anything but their own world, subject to the whims of the GMs who run the system(s), until they are informed of the Primary System and what true reality is (or are otherwise informed by one with such knowledge), and thus become PCs, free to do as they wish.

The comic primarily follows the exploits of Graveyard Greg, a bald, anachronistically-well-built middle-aged man, and EDG, a squat, blue-and-silver robot, with a visor resembling that of the Cylons in Battlestar Galactica, although there is a host of secondary characters (Brahma and Angus, two minotaurs; Radical, a female superhero; for a time, the Scarlet Jester and the Unprodigal, and many others).
