Know Your Rolly
Chapter: Season Two
Characters: Rolly the Rowl
Ah the “Town Crier”. That guy at the table who is equal parts douchebag and Rain Man. He feels the need to shout out your check results before you’ve had an opportunity to do the math yourself. Worst of all is that in most cases, he doesn’t say it to you. He goes straight to the DM.
I’ve wanted to use Rolly the Rowl for a while now to pass along some table etiquette to any of the newcomers to gaming who may be reading this comic. I hope you find the advice useful. If you’re ever at a table with me, I’ll certainly appreciate it.
Speaking of tables, I’ll be at GenCon this year. I’ll make sure to have a tag or some such on my badge and please feel free to say hello. I love meeting you guys and sharing a some laughs.
Ok, Rolly.

I’m very guilty of this act, I cannot lie. I do it all the time to my wife, I should stop being such a do-whooooosh. 🙁
I look forward to calling out all your die rolls at gencon good sir!
It’s like….it’s like you’re putting my life in comic form…
Really? That was a while back dude. Knew I should have just kept my mouth shut.
Ha! Ha! Ha! I didn’t write this one with you in mind, Rod. Don’t worry.
I can be guilty of this.
But there is nothing worse than players who cannot add two digit numbers except with their fingers.
Some guys you got to watch though. We had a guy once who would roll his attack call out the number and pick up the die before anyone else could see what he really rolled. He had a much higher crit rate than the rest of the party. In the final battle of the game (a party wipe mind you) it took nearly four times his total hitpoints to finally kill his character.
I wish I could upvote this or send you experience points or give you a magic item for speaking truth to the world
OMG its Cedric cosplaying as a wizard! Someone warn King Graham.
Actually it’s totally normal, especially when math-impaired person wants to play wizard. We don’t want to wait 30seconds for damn fireball damage!
