  1. Heh, this one is even better! More humor about fantasy role-playing (vs. gaming in general) and humorous rule awareness!

    As a slight tangent, hooray for OOTS returning from Summertime irregularity. Characters thinking like players need never get old.


  2. 2
    Bogan the Mighty

    Bah! I had a quick flash back to our campaign at the very beginning with that. Well actually it summed up most of it.


  3. “I start gutting Gandalf!”


  4. Here’s one way to win that particular campaign.


  5. “Encouragement! Encouragement! Nya ha ha ha! I offer Shamus Young more ENCOURAGEMENT! Ha ha ha ha! Let the heavens bellow their darkest fears and bring forth more comics! Ha ha ha ha!”

    …What? No, I do NOT laugh like Mandark. I laugh like that scary guy, you know, what’s his name. Never like Mandark. Stop saying I sound like Mandark!


  6. This reminds me of playing the old 8-bit computer text adventure “The Hobbit”…

    > kill gandalf

    You attack Gandalf.
    Gandalf breaks your skull with one mighty blow.
    You are dead. You scored 2%.
    Would you like to play again? Y/N

    :)

    Bad DM; No donut.

    I refuse to post anything about not being able to see the webcomic, as I am a unique individual with thoughts of my own.

    Wait… doh!


  10. Heh, cliche. What make that especially funny is that most of the cliche’s in LoTR are cliche’s because Tolkien made them up and everyone else adopted them.

    Kudo’s for the in joke.


  11. @RPD: And kudos to you sir, for getting the joke. And making sure everyone knows you got it. And for making everyone who didn’t get it feel dumb. They do feel dumb, right? I hope they feel dumb. What’s the point of being smart, otherwise?


  12. i would want to sack the town too after seeing that innkeeper!


  13. I didn’t think I had earned my geekcard until I saw this site! Lovin it


  14. only 15 comments??? Cmon you guys can do better then that! This comic is much better then 15!

    Aragorn


  15. Does 16 make it better? Aragorn could use a bit more dialogue, since he’s the only one around at the end.
