Someone, somewhere gave me this link. Was it one of you guys? If not, hilarious...

DM of the Rings

The creator's comments under most strips is pretty insightful about the stupidity of D&D rules. My favorite line:

"Parlay is just a French word for "flat-footed and empty-handed.""

And the whole discussion about how in D&D, when fighting giant creatures, the absurdity of doing exactly as much damage standing on the ground and slicing their toes and ankles as you would if you climbed on top and shot them in the head? Classic.

It wasn't me but I'm really glad you asked.

Guess I won't get much work done this morning.

I like. Will have to read more.

A plus for metioning mechwarrior and World of Warcraft (sadly I have 5 characters in this game).

"When you want to design a character, start by imagining what sort of inner drive motivates them to seek adventure. Visualize what sort of family life and cultural forces would make an individual risk death on a regular basis. Then decide how a person with this sort of makeup would view the world around them and how they would relate to others.

If all of that sounds like a lot of work, then just roll a barbarian. This ain't no Writers' Workshop."
