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.)
Trusting the System
How do you know the rules of the game are what the game claims? More importantly, how do the DEVELOPERS know?
Skylines of the Future
Cities: Skylines is bound to have a sequel sooner or later. Where can this series go next, and what changes would I like to see?
Game at the Bottom
Why spend millions on visuals that are just a distraction from the REAL game of hotbar-watching?
Project Button Masher
I teach myself music composition by imitating the style of various videogame soundtracks. How did it turn out? Listen for yourself.
Quakecon 2011 Keynote Annotated
An interesting but technically dense talk about gaming technology. I translate it for the non-coders.

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
