| | Read 'em elsewhere. They're awesome. I think this one link went all the way around the D&D online community in something like 4 hours. Getting Nodwick to link you will do that, I guess! | |
I now have a Have/Want list updated with all my rares! Stop by to take a look!

Wow, Mr. Sunshine, thanks for the review. No coffee today? Somebody kick yer dog? [:p]
Seriously, get past the "first few pages." It picks up quite a bit. Then again, two of my players just got Leadership, and I'm always a sucker for killer cats and rabbits. And I am a HUGE fan of Despair.com -- I have their "Arrogance" poster hanging in my office.
Sorry it's not your cup o' Joe, but it floored me and the Missus.

No need to be sorry, to each their own. "One man's trash…" and all that. Just cos I don't like them should take nothing away from your enjoyment.
The problem for me is that I am a writer and most of these are very poorly written and I have also written comedy and performed standup (before I realized I could not overcome my crippling stagefright) and one of the hardest thigns in the world is to make a comedian laugh.
The best one I saw was "Gelatinous Cube: There's always a 10'x10' room for jello" cos that one is actually quite good. It plays not only off the absurdity of the creature itself and the ridiculously standard 10x10 rooms that were a staple of all early D&D modules but it also makes a rather good pun on the "There's always room for Jello" advertising slogan. It is clever, funny and well written. Top marks. | |

| | Classic! Just classic! I was laughing so hard at some of these that I was running out of air and choking because I couldn't help myself. Pathetic, I know, but sometimes I have insane moments of hilarity whip through my mind and this puts into physical form many of the ideas I have and assembles them into a normal, compotent and coherent form. I'll need to bookmark this though because my computer is very slow with such picture density. It's going to be a llllooooooonnngggg 4 months of reading. | |

Same reason I don't read a lot of science fiction. [)]

| | Actually I have to agree with Sulaco, only few are really chuckle worthy. Maybe it's that graphic design thing. A lot them the text and images didn't really go together very well or they could of pick a lot better quality image. | |

I wasn't even looking at them from a graphic design standpoint. That way lies madness... | |

| Largely sophmoric writing. There's even some bizarre disjointment (pictures and captions have nothing to do with each other).
There are a few funny ones, though (mostly because the pictures are funny). Some of the pictures are priceless (the look on the kid's face in "First Level" is classic [:D]). | |
