The Gobblehaunt: Part 1
This strip marks the beginning of a 3-part Thanksgiving event centered around the group’s adventure within a locale of nefarious deeds and dark, gobbling magic of the turkey variety:Â The Gobblehaunt.
Readers familiar with old-school D&D may notice similarities between The Gobblehaunt (depicted in the final panel) and another infamous locale in D&D history: The Temple of Elemental Evil.
This cover and the adventure therein is one of my all time favorites and I did my best to do it justice. I am a huge fan of Keith Parkinson’s work. I never had the pleasure of meeting him in person but I hope that my dopey little tribute makes other fans of his work smile.
You may have also noticed today a logo on Brett’s (usually plain) black t-shirt that reads “Zombie Roomie“.
In case you do not know, Zombie Roomie is a zombie comedy webcomic created by John Wigger and it is pretty fucking funny. Here is the synopsis for the series:
John was looking for someone to split the cost of rent but got more than he bargained for when George, a zombie, became his roommate.
John (Wigger) was also kind enough to swap logo placement with me today, so if you head over there and read the Monday strip you may notice one of his cast members, Zoey, wearing a t-shirt featuring the d20monkey logo. Regardless of mutual logo love, I highly recommend Zombie Roomie. Check it out.

I saw the logo and link at Zombie Roomie and had to come check out your comic. As a long-time gamer I also have fond memories of my visits (yes.. multiple) to the Temple of Elemental Evil. It is a classic.
Dig the comic quite a bit. I am adding you to my (growing) list of “must reads” Keep it up.
Hey thank you, Scooter!
I hope the strip keeps you coming back every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
The comic delves into tabletop gaming, video games, comics, movies and all-around geekery. If that floats your you’ll fit right in.

I kind of want to make this module now.
Hah! Truth be told once I started scripting for this week I wanted the same thing. But I could already see and hear the eye rolls from my players in both groups. If you run your own version of the Gobblehaunt I would love to hear about it.

😀 I meandered on over here from Zombie Roomie… heheh…. will be adding your strip to my morning coffee/check email/check webcomics/scratch myself/ checklist.
Hey Sarakiel, I am happy to be a new addition to the morning coffee,mail, scratching routine.
Hopefully I am in there before the man scratching begins.
Thanks for reading!

Im actually playing this mod. one right now. Survivability of the party seems very slim lol.
Also visiting from a regular Zombie Roomie reading… great comic, keep it up.
Hey thanks for coming over! I’m glad you dig the comic. Feel free to drop me a line anytime.
