A couple of people were foolish enough to encourage me yesterday, so now I’m inflicting another one on you.
Games and the Fear of Death
Why killing you might be the least scary thing a game can do.
D&D Campaign
WAY back in 2005, I wrote about a D&D campaign I was running. The campaign is still there, in the bottom-most strata of the archives.
How I Plan To Rule This Dumb Industry
Here is how I'd conquer the game-publishing business. (Hint: NOT by copying EA, 2K, Activision, Take-Two, or Ubisoft.)
Silent Hill Turbo HD II
I was trying to make fun of how Silent Hill had lost its way but I ended up making fun of fighting games. Whatever.
I Was Wrong About Borderlands 3
I really thought one thing, but then something else. There's a bunch more to it, but you'll have to read the article.
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.
Bah! I had a quick flash back to our campaign at the very beginning with that. Well actually it summed up most of it.
“I start gutting Gandalf!”
Here’s one way to win that particular campaign.
I’d just like to update Steven Den Beste’s link with the new Dork Tower link to the comic: http://www.dorktower.com/2005/04/15/comics-archive-674/
“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!
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
:)
LOL!
I say sack the town or die trying!
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!
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.
11th!
@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?
i would want to sack the town too after seeing that innkeeper!
I didn’t think I had earned my geekcard until I saw this site! Lovin it
only 15 comments??? Cmon you guys can do better then that! This comic is much better then 15!
Aragorn
Does 16 make it better? Aragorn could use a bit more dialogue, since he’s the only one around at the end.
very funny!!!! i love it!!!
Absolutely hilarious!!

Ah, this has to be one of my favorites in the series.
“Just wait. We’ll be back when I hit level 10”
claaaaassic
:)
total cliche
Most every single time I go on a quest it starts out in a tavern, even when we are in the middle of nowhere we find ourselves in some random tavern or inn
2019, still new readers ! (I read The LoR in 1977 for the first time…)
This comic remains the best ever!
