Brings back memories of decades long past….

How is whatshername supposed to eat that pizza?

I always like the nice art.

LOL! I wasn’t aware we have robots and superheroes in Dungeons & Dragons!

That brings back memories when I was in my teens about 50 years ago. I think I still have the D & D books in the house somewhere?

I didn’t play D&D until in my 30s. I wish I’d discovered it earlier.

Back in the early 80’s I spent many an hour playing AD&D with my Army buddies in Germany. It was a good way to let off steam and just hang out.

Sweet! Or maybe savory…

Interesting that his coworker from the auto shop is there. At least he gets along with one of them!

They are all ready for a tabletop role playing game (awesome!), but I’m not sure they are all planning to play the same one. Though Matt Mercer’s crew has managed to incorporate a robot and fire-arms, so maybe.

Great artwork ♥

Never played D&D, but I Love the last panel.

The USPS has released D&D stamps in honor of the game’s 50th anniversary. :)

that brings back a lot of memories from when i would DM a game.

I always thought I would’ve liked to get into D&D but for a few things: 1) Too much complication and too many numbers, too much left to rolling dice 2) Too much overly-sexy drawings 3) Too much talk of kids getting into “real” magic and other weirdness, weird and/or irreverent religious ideas, and clouding of morality with a system where you could play as evil as you wanted, and “chaotic good” or even “lawful good” might be as much (or more of) a handicap for a team as “lawful evil.” But probably the main thing was that I never knew anyone else who was interested, and the one time I was invited to join a guy or two, they futtered around with other stuff and never got started, and after that I never saw the guy again — he (and his mother he lived with) just moved without telling anyone. There’s been a couple stores not too far away that host games, but I’ve never had the heart to check them out.

A pizza that big couldn’t have fit in the backpack. The poor rider must have carried it by hand. I hope Baldo gave him a good tip.

There is a place in Portland OR called Paladin Pie
