Not usually a big reader of CAD, but a friend linked this:

Although amongst my friends,the light-hearted, 'really, be quiet now' DM counter is usually 'A carnivorous moon descends and consumes you utterly' rather than an Illithid...

I dunno... not exceptionally funny.

I generally don't like his comics though.

The only funny comic he's ever made is the one where the girl's baby spontaneously aborts itself.

 

[Mercule]

That's... too true.

After reading the top panel, I thought the joke was going to be about super-powered 1st level characters and new gamers who aren't expecting immersive gameplay, only the as-advertised Dragons living inside Dungeons. Oh well, I suppose that cleric's player expected he'd only have a 33.33% chance of survival. Repeating, of course.

And I prefer the more egalitarian, "Rocks fall, everyone dies."

Aren't you actually more likely to meet a dragon at first level in 4E?

Depends. If you use the Scalegloom DDXP or went to the D&D gameday, yes.

Keep on the Shadowfell doesn't have a Dragon.

I suppose it's as likely as in 3E. (You could do it in 3E - following the CR and EL guidelines, and you can do it in 4E, following the challenge guidelines. But it's _very_ dangerous and has good chance to end in a TPK. If you're lucky, it's just a TPRaHL (Total Party Retreat after Heavy Losses), and if you're very lucky, it's a win.)
