There is nothing more destructive to the story than a DM temper tantrum, which explains why players have such enthusiasm for causing them.
(Also, for the benefit of readers who check out the comic but don’t read the rest of the site: I want to point out that I was interviewed on Fear the Boot. Tune in to hear some behind-the-scenes info on the comic and a bit about myself and my experiences playing D&D.)
Games and the Fear of Death
Why killing you might be the least scary thing a game can do.
Grand Theft Auto Retrospective
This series began as a cheap little 2D overhead game and grew into the most profitable entertainment product ever made. I have a love / hate relationship with the series.
Video Compression Gone Wrong
How does image compression work, and why does it create those ugly spots all over some videos and not others?
Quakecon Keynote 2013 Annotated
An interesting but technically dense talk about gaming technology. I translate it for the non-coders.
Raytracing
Raytracing is coming. Slowly. Eventually. What is it and what will it mean for game development?

Nothing requires you to remain subscribed.
Doubly nothing required you to be a jerk about it.
You may just be a troll and so are getting exactly the response you’re going for, but just in case…
My guess is that republishing these comics serves as a bit of tribute to Shamus by his children.
Imagine if someone close to you died and then you received hurtful comments because you made a typo in the obituary.
Please, reconsider your comment.

Admirable honesty from Legolas’s player. Hands up all those who’d have just let the GM give them the hit?
Typo: “Orthand” should be “Orthanc.” Love the capture of Grima’s impalement.
^this is the correct way to point out a typo.
Just saying…
Oi! Seems like this week image is missing.
Trolls are inherently losers, if they were capable of making something worthwhile they would. I very much appreciate your work on this website in general and this series in particular. Maintaining the original feel of the site while updating the graphics must be a challenge. Peace to you all
