If Lord of the Rings were a D&D game

This is a webcomic that hilariously answers the never-in-history question: What if Lord of the Rings were an actual D&D game?

For geeks and RPG gamers. Which I am.

Both of.

That has got to be the single most geekest thing I have ever seen. I can appreciate the humor, but man, unrelenting nerdery is a very apt description.

As a former D&D DM, That was freakin' awesome!

I've already spent the last hour and a half reading through them. This really had me on the floor though:

"Of course the woods are enchanted, they all are!"

"Nature boy is right. When was the last time anyone saw a regular non-enchanted forest? You can't grow two trees next to each other without some wizard or demon coming along and enchanting them."

I liked: "Please, please, don't say we met in a tavern." That does come off as painfully cliche, doesn't it?

I haven't played DnD in years. 4th edition comes out next year. But my kids are 2 and 3, so by the time they're old enough to play it will probably be version 5.
