I don't know how many of my readers are old Dungeons & Dragons players from years gone by when TSR's 1st Edition AD&D ruled the roost, or are current players using Edition 3.5 of the dramatically reworked Dungeons & Dragons now owned by the Wizards of the Coast, but if you are familiar with all the silly archetypes of fantasy and the strange traditions and protocols of pen-and-paper roleplaying, and need a good sustained laugh, head over to Giant in the Playground Games and check out The Order of the Stick.

The Order of the Stick is an online comic that follows the story of a group of adventurers as they fight the forces of evil while trying to get used to the new third edition rules. I know it sounds strange, and if you've never played a pen-and-paper RPG you probably won't get it. But if you have, you'll laugh. Lots.
