Knights of the Dinner Table fans--ASSEMBLE

[Simon Atavax]

Well, I've been playing D&D since 2e (started in 1993),* and reading KODT since issue 1. I'm not sure if that makes me old school, but damn, I love KODT.

There is a simple test to determine one's Old Schoolness.

(particularly "Gamer's Rant at the Movies," holy crap is that guy hysterical!)

Yup. I'd like to think that the complaining against Gamer's Rant is absolutely ludicrous, but we are talking about nerds, who can be overly touchy about certain subjects (no proof of that around here, though, right? )

You're not old school - that's not even the first basic set! Gimme' my In Search of the Unknown and Get off my lawn!

edit: BTW - the doppelganger code idea in issue #18 was straight from my gaming group that I sent to Jolly years ago.

Waiting for Diaglo to chime in any minute now . . .

That's not the first homage they've had in recent months. A couple of issues ago, they also did a cover parodying the (in)famous Elmore piece inside the 2nd edition edition Player's Handbook where the party is posing after killing a dragon. That cover made me laugh out loud in the comic shop.

I'm a KoDT fan from way back. I started reading it in Dragon magazine and bought my first print copy of the comic when I was visiting Margaret Weis's gaming store in Lake Geneva (and was rung up by none other than Ernie Gygax!). That was issue 7 or 8, I think. I stopped buying it last year, but have since resumed my consumption of the magazine (the issues I missed are on my To-Buy list).

I like the recent homages to classic D&D art. I'd go so far as to even say that I'd like to see Jolly and the D-Team write strips that send up some of those classic adventures (I'm a sucker for good parody/satire).

Hi
I'm a KODT fan. I've been following the Knights since they appeared in Dragon. Some of the stories could've been about my friends. I miss KODT Illustrated.
Thanks.

I'm a fan.

I love KotDT. I remember searching through my Dragon Magazine CD Archive to find all of the strips. I was sad to see them leave Dragon Magazine all those years ago. I really should getting around buying some Bundles of Trouble.

Yep, I cannot recommend Bundle of Trouble highly enough. Most of the volumes have beautiful glossy pages (a few have the more comic-bookey newsprint type paper, which is find too) and they're just a great bargain. Like I said, I almost think of a bunch of them as being like a novel. I love the story arcs. I love the characterization. I love the bizarre "parallel universe" they all live in (such as, you need to be "certified" in order to run a game as a GM, and if you run one anyway, you can get "banned", etc. )
