• Darths and Droids

  Anyone here familiar with DM of the Rings? It's a webcomic that is screenshots of Lord of the Rings recaptioned--as if it were a tabletop role-playing game a la Dungeons and Dragons.  It's kind of Big on the Internet.
  
  Anyway, the Comic Irregulars, who consist of David Morgan-mar, the author of Irregular Webcomic!, and some of his cow orkers, are doing the same thing with the Star Wars trilogies, and calling it Darths and Droids.  Their goal is to substatially change the story in many points, but sometimes it just isn't possible.  They did succeed in making Jar Jar a likeable character, and turned Qui-Gon Jinn into a bumbling oaf, but in terms of plot, they've really only added a MacGuffin and some sidequests that the characters talk about but never get around to doing.
  
  Anyway, the comic was "good" but not "genius" until the most recent two strips, in my opinion.
  
  
  
  
  All I can really say is that the GM of this campaign is the best ever.
