This is what happens when Winslow is allowed to be Dungeon Master.

The party here consists of Laura (a valkyrie), Apsara the Attention Whore (a barbarian), Kurt the Cynic (a necromancer), Ben (a warrior with kickass sideburns), and Psychic Rob (who is not, in fact, a psionic and is instead a humble archer). One of my problems with many RPGs is that the players can only be truly successful if they have someone who can use magic, someone who can heal the party, someone savvy enough to locate/disarm traps, and someone strong in hand-to-hand combat. The wizard/cleric/thief/warrior party is boring. Which is why the party here is almost entirely warriors of some sort.

Every Friday this month will feature a Ben & Winslow comic revolving around an RPG session. Which is a little weird, because while the strips are spread across the entire month, the events that take place in the strips only span about six hours. You can read the first part here, the second part here, and the third part here.
