I am sure that the opponents who plane shifted in got Roy some experience.

Nope. It's clearly stated that the first time you go to the afterlife, you do so through the big gates.
The revolving door is for frequent dyers.

Regarding the time differential, I think there's a few different possibilties.
My guess is that all the time was lost on the mountain. He lost track of time while completing that journey. The time he's spent with his mother and grandpa is "real time."
And as for the different in experience points, that's nothing a little training with grandpa can't solve!
Although to be completely honest, I'm still hoping that Rich decides not to res Roy.

Urgh. That would come really close to ruining the strip for me. It's not just that Roy's my favorite character (though he is), so much as that the entire story of the OotS is, at its heart, Roy's story.

This strip really through me for a loop.
For Roy 3 months means that his friends are not going to bring him back.
in D&D even more than dying, more than a week passing means your dead.
I could see a heroic journey to return (probably as a ghost/advisor given grandpa)
I have never played in a campaign where true rez was available, I can't even think of any NPC that OotS has come across that could manage it.
Once I allowed a 17th level party (w/o a cleric) to visit the celestial realm to try and regain the soul of a PC killed by a destruction spell. They failed the quest, and the player made a new PC.
More likely Roy's player has a new PC. Its one aspect of gaming not yet explored, replacement characters (or even players, although this would make me sad)
and it should not be a already introduced NPC, instead it should be as lame an intro as possible.
a man (with full equipment) is floating on a raft in the ocean, and he just happens to be a [insert non-overlapping class] who happens to be thier level (or one less) and the others all feel an instant and abiding trust / friendship with him

I agree. In fact, I don't think it would make too much sense to have all these scenes without having Roy come back. In addition, I think the story would lose a lot of its emphasis without Roy. I think it would make for a great D&D game but a bad story, and Rich Burlew has proven to be a very good storyteller.
