The DM will do a lot of talking, but if he’s not rolling the dice then what he’s saying is probably not important.

Ah the good ol’ days of certain someones laying down on the floor to “rest their eyes” while the DM did the talking deal. Only the words money or xp awoke such slumbers.
Man, I wish I had this on DVD. I’d watch it until I ran out of blood.
it just gets funnier!
Just was forwarded the link to this. Great Stuff!
This is a quote that will probably start showing up in a lot of .sigs:
“The DM will do a lot of talking, but if he’s not rolling the dice then what he’s saying is probably not important.”
In fact, it’s going in mine right now.
Wow, it’s like you were sitting beside me at one of my past campaigns…
“Yeah, great, great. We do that thing that we need to do… Are we going to fight this session?
Sounds like the reason for my “Warning, DM whimsical when bored.” button…
I’m seeing this for the first time. I’m at work and laughing so hard that the people in the next office are starting to worry.
This is like my life, 20 years ago. :-)
Heh, these days I seem to be the person taking notes in the game so I _have_ to listen to what the gm’s saying.
Seriously this made my day, week, sigh, year, reading this. It is like reading about my group playing.
“The DM will do a lot of talking, but if he’s not rolling the dice then what he’s saying is probably not important.”
so classic.

Personally I like to roll the dice occassionally for no good reason other than to get the player’s full attention, works a treat ;)
I used to roll a random handful of dice just to seem like I was doing something random. Seriously, why to you think the DM keeps all his stuff hidden behind books and screens? :) It’s like readin tea leaves, the dice say what I want them to say!
“I’m in. We’re all in.” has become the new catchphrase of the players in our group!
heh i swear i have met Frank- er I mean Boromir before, managing to sucseffully ignore the dm and continue the story at the same time. “were in, were all in” perfection.
oh dear, between this and the tatu videos I may have to miss the party and read untill QI gets on!
I wish I had this on freaking DVD I would watch it until I die and then ill take it to hell with me :DDDD
Priceless. No other adjective will fit this. :)
is it a bad sign that I tend to skip over the yellow bits in the comic? lol I’m as bad as the players oh god…
Blah Blah Blah!
Can you repeat the middle bit?
Ahh, yes, this reminds me of a particularly long winded GM whose briefing room ended up as Billy Bo Bob’s Briefing Bar (we knocked out the wall to the restroom next door and remodeled while the GM had a 45 minute monologue).
Whoa. When I saw the final panel I got this weird rush of adrenaline, like what I should* get at the actual scene.
Oh yes, I was too lazy to say this earlier, but “Eat it, KNAVE!” is going to become my new battle cry.
*I say should because I’m generally too busy parodying it to pay any attention.
This seriously reminded me of that owl from Ocarina of time.
Spending what must of been an hour mashing the “A” button to finish his convoluted monologue then…suddenly…
Did you understand all that?
>No
Yes
And hitting the “A” button again by accident.
“Well, let me repeat it for you!”
):
i dont know what game this is or what you guys are talking about but these are realy funny comic strips
