Dungeon Master of the Rings

discovering an old webcomic

You tend to stumble on unusual gems while doing the most mundane of tasks. In this case I got a sample of the Dungeon Master of the Rings, a parody of the movie trilogy. Created by Seamus Young the comics takes scenes from the movies and overlays what would pass for player dialogue during a game session. The effect is subtle humor that pokes fun at both the movies and at gaming tropes. Unfortunately the series has ended but you can still see the archives at Young's site Twenty Sided.
