I realize that admitting to being a fan of Knights of the Dinner Table probably makes me a bit of a Cro-Magnon in the eyes of some gamers on my friend’s list. While I acknowledge that most of the storylines and jokes are simply in-bred, mean-spirted lame gamer humor, I have to say that some of the plotlines the fictional characters experience do stir my imagination somewhat.
In recent months, for example, the characters in the comic book have been waging a war with each other, over the fate of their fictional game world. Two of the players have been dominated by intelligent, evil swords of the Stormbringer type, and the action has revolved around their attempts to destroy one another. They’ve been raising armies and fighting running battles, and have even found guest players to run the roles of the respective “swords” themselves.
The storyline reminds me of what was perhaps my first really, really good RPG campaign.
This, by the way, is the magic phrase that will cause several of you to skip this entry, and wait for me to post more baby pictures. Go ahead – but be aware that this entry features imprisoned elfin slave-chicks, huge battles, and guys standing on piles of bodies while waving big-ass axes.
