What about this sort of "humor" - would this be acceptable?

(That must be one fast dwarf!)


What of this sort of humor (similar to that in the 4E Strategy Guide)?

I like the first but not the second.

I voted 1.

I do think there's room for humor in D&D (I liked how the Déjà Vu power was listed twice in 3.5's Psionic Handbook) but those Dragon Mirth cartoons do nothing for me.

Deja Vu was the one funny thing I found in 3rd Edition books, and it was actually funny. Had me flip back a page when I noticed it.

May very well be my Germaness talking here, but jokes do not belong into a manual. There is place for humor in the actual game, which includes adventures, but you can't make jokes written into the rules. That's unprofessional.

I like the first; I think that's definitely the sort of humor we should be including in the rule books. It's situational humor, not "jokey" humor.

The second one, much as I love Penny Arcade, would perhaps get old fast. Though I still vastly prefer it to the Dragon Mirth line art stand-up.

For me, the quality of the art needs to be good.

Wow, I'm a bit surprised by this. For a long time, even up into some of 3E's spells there are "jokes" in the spell components

Which probably I never get. Some people tried to point some of them out to me, but I didn't see what's supposed to be funny about it.
