Description
R.P.G. (Ransack People's Gold) is the tale of four D&D/Star Wars/RPG players and their DM, who wishes he were a player. These intrepid players are, from left to right:
Kenneth, the over-achieving, yet under appreciated DM.
Adam, the guy who has a theater background but needs a girlfriend.
Barry, the munchkin power-gamer with a bad case of arrested development.
Josh, the straight-laced guy who just wants to play the game.
Kassi, Josh's homicidally-minded younger cousin, whom he regrets inviting.

My parties have a holiday tradition of leaving campaigns after the holidays faster than a politician leaving a hotel room with a dead hooker. Featured in this strip are some of the most common prototypical campaign breaking situations I've had come to me after the holidays. I've had the girlfriend/fiance/wife go Yoko Ono to my Beatles, players wanting new characters that don't fit the campaign world at all, school/work schedule changes cause me to lose players, and had players angle for a new game/campaign setting that had caught their eye.

I understand how the whole Halloween/Thanksgiving/Christmas/New Years holiday blitz takes people away from their families and throws them together with their relatives but my groups seem to get bit particularly hard while I foolishly spend my time preparing for an epic new year of the campaign.

I know I haven't posted new stuff in forever. My new job asks for a lot of mandatory overtime and has left me rather tired at the end of the day. To be honest Skyrim has accounted for most of my free time outside of work and since I'm about done with that for a while I figured I'd do a holiday themed strip while it is still close enough to the holidays to be somewhat timely
