Well, who doesn't love a rousing game of Papers & Paychecks?
Why does Melon's hair look like a Magneto helmet?
lmaowtf
Just no.
The Office RPG might be fun...
would cut a bit close to the bone for me so.. no.
Woohoo! Let's get into those RPGs!
Continue the game!
I stand around the water cooler and try to look cool. *rolls a 2* damnit.
You go to take a drink and spill water down the front of your shirt. The cute girl Sally who works in HR watches you and laughs.
Aside from the already recognized point that this game should clearly happen, the other interesting point here is that Melon was able to listen in without Yay apparently being aware. (Maybe they were, but it seems less likely they would have let their guard down that much with an audience.) Do they turn their omniscience down when talking to Roko? Or is this a Roger Rabbit moment where Melon can do anything but “only when it’s funny?”
Oh, this is how Bembo’s stories started…
Great page
I am here for the TTRPG goodness! 😁
Seriously, Clinton has never role-played? Also, I'm sure that Pintsoze would run a game for you if you asked him. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=176 https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2183
Elliot is the one saying he's always wanted to try it. 🙂 Based on Clinton already having a character ready, it seems fair to assume he's a seasoned player. 😊
I live it, it's not a fun game.....
I expect to be disappointed because the ONLY ACCEPTABLE OPTION is a spinoff comic
I want these adventures!!!!
I once played a lawyer wizard. The dm banned it after he saw my "restraining order" and "red tape" spells.
Kinky
aww babies
Clerical Cleric (I know, sounds redundant). Makes holy ledger entries. Keeps two sets of books (Gospels and Epistles). Wields the holy 10 keys. Spells include: Post Invoice, Double Entry, Amortize Costs, Depreciate Assets, Audit.
Basilisk - "... ...'Brain Wave!'"
I cast... TPS Report!
Can I use my +3 red Swingline stapler?!
I can see it now, these five at Melon and Clinton's insistence/request get Martin to dust off his TTRPG skills to get him to run a game of "Cubicles and Consultants" for them.
Just play the three of you
Well now I'm just thinking of the Paladin/Cleric combo of Clinton/Elliot. And yes obviously Clinton is the Paladin and Elliot is the Cleric its better this way.
The cleric casts Sourdough. Now the DM is incapacitated.
Does that imply that Melon was hanging out with them or that she specifically went to Elliot's apartment to get them before coming to Roko's?
Maybe she texted them on the way up?
Strange how they've never repaired that hole in the ceiling.
AMAZING. And I bet a game is in the works LOL
Obviously, Pintsize plays as a Marketing Bard
I'd run a 5th level salary ranger, with proficiency in dual-entry accounting. Able to evade new tasks with a successful save.
You already ride an invisible bicycle. What more do you need?
This is almost too good to believe, Jeph. Thank you. :)
I've played RPG's that were worse than this one sounds. It must be played...
Jeph you get them to start playing this RPG or so help me
Papers and Paychecks anyone...? :)
so this is going to happen now, and I cannot wait. ~<3
Melon, boys, YOU CAN STILL PLAY AN RPG YOU SILLY DORKS
They wanted to play with the cool kids, tho.
Cubicles and CEO's
Scuttlebutt
This needs to happen! But I want Yay as a player; it would be interesting to see how they dealt with the limitations of being on a level footing with everyone else.
"No Yay, just because the rules don't explicitly say you can't turn the office printer into a particle cannon doesn't mean you can. I don't care that you rolled a 20, that doesn't mean you automatically violate the laws of conservation. If you don't like it then *you* be Office Manager and I'll play a menial drone!"
This seems like a very roundabout way to bring Raven back into the plot.
See, now I’d be worried Melon would turn up with a rocket propelled grenade.
Hi Melon. (Seriously, where have you been Melon?)
Hangin' out with Clinton and Elliott, apparently
Yay being a DM would be amazing. They could pull from all sources of fiction that ever existed and they likely could do all the voices ever... Also, Melon can pull others into her orbit very quickly.
Okay, but this sounds fun af! I really want to do this now!
Stop teasing us and give us a proper TTRPG story Jeph.
Merchandise a QC version of a table top game. Even if it is it’s own system.
*sighs, breaks out acquisitions inc.* "Alright guys, welcome to session 0, i'll be your dm, don't worry i've been consigned to this fate for years now." "Where did you come from?" "When you're a forever dm, a high enough concentration of potential players summons you. I was supposed to be at my nephews bat mizvah."
This seems highly accurate.
I wanna be the mailroom mage.
Roko would be the bestest GM.
Offices and Bosses?
Roll for promotion.
That would have made for an interesting game.
Please, Jeph, make this a thing!
Business Cleric? Oooooooooog!
What does an Office Bard do? Is it just whistling until everyone rises up to kill them?
Now I want a tabletop rpg arc of QC.
It would be such an effective way to get queer nerds to flirt
Awwww!
If this becomes a thing I’ll be so happy
YOU HAVE TO MAKE THEM PLAY DND NOW
Is that a strobing bikini in your avatar?
No IT Artificer for you, Clinton.
well I didn't want to play until you said that.
Welp
