My wife makes me read them to her, which is annoying to both of us, so we tend not to watch things that are subtitled.

I think Mearls confused D&D with MTG.

I was in a hurry in between some things on the grill. I'll go back and edit.

Order of the Stick! I think this is the best D&D webcomic, great jokes, and some very D&Disms. Honorble mention to Life of the Party though. XKCD Great geek comic, often very educational. HIghbrow humor, often, and good for the single panel format. Irregular Webcomic. One of the OG's. The...

I bailed at book 7. If it hadn't been for Brandon Sanderson, I would have never finished the series. I mean, of course none of us would have, but knowing that he actually picked the pace up and things happened, gave me reason to return to the series and plow on through the desert to reach...
