IDW Dungeons and Dragons Comic

[Cynical Cat]

I stumbled upon this puppy by accident damn is it good. The setting is 4th edition, but since its a comic there's no game mechanics to bitch about. Four Five adventurers get into deep trouble with the speed and regularity only professional adventurers can manage.

The leader is a fighter who probably got a Master of Battle Administration at the same time Roy did. He also happens to be proficient with Orcish weapons and speak pirate slang. There is also a thoroughly untrustworthy halfling Rogue, a dwarven poet turned paladin who intends to prove his worth to his true love's family, a snarky elf ranger, and a tiefling warlock who is after the murderer of her parents.

It's written by the Rogers, the guy who got all the acclaim for writing the Blue Beetle, and it includes just the right amount of humor to be fucking hilarious while not undercutting the seriousness of the predicaments the characters find themselves in.

It's great, check it out.

A taste:

Adric Fell: My lord, Khal, Varis, and I arrived in this town together. Tisha aided us against the gnolls last month. I can vouch for their character.

Local Baron: And the halfling?

Adric Fell: I can vouch that she is indeed a halfling.

Local Baron: Adric, let's be frank. This town has adventurers. I expect a certain amount of murder. I encourage it, as long as it is properly directed outwards, at goblins and brigands and such.

Adric: I swear that man was an unholy creature when he came out of the floor.

Guard Captain Gondar: When he came out of the floor.

Adric: Aye.

Gondar: When you killed him.

Adric: Aye.

Gondar: You admit to killing him.

Adric: Do you think you are tricking me?

I managed to snag their introductory comic online, and it's every bit as funny as he says. And not only depressingly close to how a whole lot of our roleplaying sessions have gone, but spot-on for my current catburglar character.
Assuming we ever get this game underway again, of course.
