I took a tip from bloggrandson Neonangel of Lyrical Coma, and checked out "The Order of the Stick", a thrice-weekly serial web comic.

Now, I was not an obsessive gamer in high school, but the rest of my friends from chess club were, and I went on a handful of campaigns. Enough to know what "roll for initiative" means, anyway.

So if you've even a passing knowledge of D&D, I think you'll find it amusing.

I'll give you 3 places to choose from for your first visit:

Comic #1 (it's very nearly at #300 now) - Get in on the ground floor and read them in order.

Comic #143 - A typical instance of the humor - the illustrations are of the player characters inside their quest, while the dialogue is pretty much what you'd hear from the players as they sit in the basement drinking Mountain Dew & eating Cheetos. This tickles me, for some reason.

Comic #136 - The Weapons Shop sketch - an homage to Monty Python (you KNEW there would be one in there somewhere, right?).

Anyway, I now return you to your regularly scheduled World of Warcraft session.
