The DM of the Rings

By John Farrier in Cartoon & Comic on Jun 29, 2009 at 4:40 pm


The DM of the Rings is a webcomic by Shamus Young which imagines the characters of The Lord of the Rings movies as players in a Dungeons and Dragons campaign who consistently refuse to stay in-character.

    If you haven't seen DMOTR before you're in for a treat, since it's pretty much awesome.

    If you like the idea, also check out "Darths and Droids", a similar idea for Star Wars. (The main difference being that the DM in "DMOTR" has the LOTR story plotted out and forces the players to go along with it, while the DM in "D&D" has a completely different story planned, but the players stumble around and create the Star Wars story we all know.)

    Was going to recommend Order of the Stick until I clicked through. This has got way more out-of-character moments than that.

    (And, of course, OotS isn't an interpretation of a movie.)

    Brilliant! I literally laughed out loud at this one.

    I just read the WHOLE thing start to finish in 24 hours. Completely brilliant!
