Rec: (LotR) The DM of the Rings
Hilarious web comic. A satirical re-narration of Lord of the Rings as a Dungeon and Dragons game. As the author/artist introduces:
Lord of the Rings is more or less the foundation of modern D&D. The latter rose from the former, although the two are now so estranged that to reunite them would be an act of savage madness. Imagine a gaggle of modern hack-n-slash roleplayers who had somehow never been exposed to the original Tolkien mythos, and then imagine taking those players and trying to introduce them to Tolkien via a D&D campaign.
The DM of the Rings
Or skip to see Aragorn hitting on Legolas.
Or skip directly to see Aragorn finally getting his. hee.
On a more serious note, an interesting article on Islam in the UK: Apostasy
