Name Game
The new storyline continues with the introduction of Jeanie and her gaming group to the d20monkey universe (greeted of course with Brett’s usual brand of hospitality).
Some eagle-eyed members of the D&D community may recognize Randall “Deadorcs” Walker as one of the players in Jeanie’s gaming group. Well at least his Twitter avatar (whom he and others affectionately refer to as “Vampire Jesus”).
Randall is one of the talented individuals behind the Dungeon Masters Roundtable Podcast (along with Tracy H, Thadeous C, and Sam D) and writes his own gaming-centric blog as well. He’s cut from the old school cloth of gamer who I love to talk to and share the game with, not to mention he’s a super cool guy. Do yourself a favor and check out the DM Roundtable Podcast and give Randall’s blog a read as well (he stated up Elminster’s Jock from this strip as well, which is completely badass).
I can almost hear his soothing Midwestern accent.
Funny enough, when I was drawing the strip I could hear him speaking the dialogue as well. I’m really enjoying these little cameos from folks in the D&D community and everyone else seems to dig it as well.
One of the things I enjoyed about an older episode of the Black Hands, was one of the members was a jerk to a ‘old’ new fellow at the game. He promptly threatened to beat his ass and wanted him to know why he was going to do it. Killed that jerk behavior, at least towards him. While I appreciate the humor of our friend here, and he has indeed gotten his in the past, some more of that, “ever get your ass kicked over a game” vibe should descend upon him.
