Yep, issue #103 of the Knights of the Dinner Table magazine is reaching stores now!
I'm posting the Table of Contents below, organized by type/features. Also, the front cover and a link to a bonus KoDT comic strip.
The strip provides some back ground to the strips that appear in #103 but in the end we felt it wasn't really necesary to run it and chose to spend more space devoted to Brian actually running his game as well as a Black Hands strip. As it turns out the strips didn't need the five page set-up, however there's some good background on Brian in the strip and we didn't want it to get lost. It comes a bit closer to explaining what the 'Incident' might have without really giving it away. More fuel for the imagination (and as close as we'll ever come to revealing what the incident was).
DESCRIPTION
Knights of the Dinner Table comic book magazine #103
Cover Artist: George Vrbanic
Writer/Artist: Jolly Blackburn and various
Knights of the Dinner Table is the longest running comic on the subject of games ever! Though B.A., Brian, Bob, Dave and Sara may play different characters in different games, their personalities always shine through. KoDT also features d20, HackMaster and other articles for gamers from a gamer’s perspective. A hilarious and hysterical slice of (fantasy) life in strips, features and a wonderful celebration of the gaming culture – don’t miss it!
K&C103 (80 pages, b&w, color cover, monthly) $3.99
TABLE OF CONTENTS
Items in [brackets] are brief notes I've added for certain columns. Unless otherwise noted, all rpg columns are generic enough to be used for any fantasy game system. "HM" indicates a feature with heavy HackMaster emphasis, while "d20" indicates an obviously d20-specific feature. Some features, such as maps, may be based on HackMaster but are usable in any setting, and are unlabeled.
