I absolutely loved this article! I grew up on D&D, so I was really excited to see an article that drew on some of the stuff I remember seeing in my Dad's books. I agree with some of the other posters, too - the confused outsider of Zack was the perfect foil to Steve's fantasy-inoculated gamer. I also loved the smoking crab video.

Back in high school I played a lot of AD&D 2nd edition with bits of older books mixed in, so this was a nice little nostalgic look at how loving ridiculous some of it got. The best part is that even when they hired actual artists, it still came off as ridiculous and goofy, albeit in a different way.

I almost wish our DM would work these into our 4th Edition game somehow, so I can finally say "What the loving gently caress?" in character.

It seems like the whole world would easily turn into "Adventures in Mathland" with some modification.

...which REEEEALLY makes me want to write a campaign with them. :v:
