Owlturd Comix hit the nail on the head with this strip. It looks at different parts of the body and the role they perform. The heart heals, aww. The brain is a sneaky rogue, always coming up with cunning plans. The stomach deals DPS, which is as fast as I can my burritos. The liver? […]
Your DM is better than any dating service
This strip is the work of Light Roast Comics. The site is less than a year, only founded in February. We’re reminded that ‘send me a DM’ clearly hasn’t changed its meaning since Gary Gygax coined the phrase Dungeon Master. What else could people be thinking? If you like the style pop over to teespring […]
What If? Harry Potter & The Twenty-Sided Die
This Berds & Nerds comic from Sarah Yoshi and Sozo is brilliantly done. Switch the character classes of Harry Potter around and you get a very different story! Shankwarts,” … says Sarah, describing her eagerness to draw the strip. Aren’t rogues just wizards with knives? Specialists in the art of knife-o-mancy?” … wonders S. Sozo […]
5 examples of death by paperwork
Geek Native isn’t normally concerned with the dark arts of HR. Normally if there is talk about Human Resources then it’ll probably be for an inventory management RTS. Not this time. This time a marketing stunt by a secure document storage company has caught my eye. I don’t imagine gamers need to use such facilities […]
Twister with tentacles! A’Writhe: A game of Eldritch contortions
It’s not April 1st. I don’t think it’s April 1st. It might be the end of the world, though, as we summon Great Old Ones together. WizKids has a new game in American stores today, and it safely described as Twister with a Cthulhu theme. Twister with tentacles? You play in teams of two; one […]
Is your DnD party this weird?
If you’ve played in any tabletop RPG for a length of time, you’ll have encountered a weird scene or three. Play for long enough, and it all becomes second nature to you. Wizard: Im gonna need a human skull and i can't have you ask any questions why. Rogue: only if you also don't ask […]

Another classic truth from Andy Kluthe at Dorkly! This time we’re doing a quick tour of the standard types of armour design, you’ll find in (mostly computer) roleplaying games.

It turns out that one tomato is all you need. This fantastically illustrated explanation is the work of Max Marcil. Based in California, Max is a graphic […]
D&D mums are smart
I love this simple but effective comic from N00b Mama. It’s funny because it’s true. I’m %100 sure this is a trait of D&D mums, Pathfinder dads and Warhammer 5th edition great uncles once removed all around the world. Tabletop roleplaying is a great way to ‘smuggle’ in maths to kids lives in a fun […]
