According to DM of the Rings, The Lord of the Rings wouldn't make a good Dungeons & Dragons campaign.Think about it. Loads of Backstory, few battles, limited treasure (even if you aren't expecting a Monty Haul campaign), and lots and lots of talking (since many events are told to others after the fact).To a player whose rules are Play the Game, Skip the Story and RPGs Equal Combat, this would make for a frustrating game, and just as much or more for the Dungeon Master shepherding them through it. But it makes a great comic.DM of the Rings uses screen captures of the films and places them in the format of a comic book. The comic never shows the faces of the players (although the short-lived original follow up, Chainmail Bikini did). Instead, we see shots of the films as actions the players are taking.The comic doesn't really satirize The Lord of the Rings as much as it makes fun of the way roleplaying sessions tend to go, especially the struggle between the Game Master and players. It's been described as an overall example of how not to conduct a campaign in general.Other works by the author include Chainmail Bikini, Stolen Pixels, Spoiler Warning and the column "Experienced Points" at The Escapist.This comic has inspired several Follow the Leader comics applying the formula to other works, notably TV Tropes semi-favorite Darths & Droids. It is the Trope Maker for the Campaign Comic.In 2023, the series began getting remastered by Young's children.As a completed work with Self-Fulfilling Spoiler, all spoilers are off. | |

Reading Ahead in the Script | |
| DM of the Rings (Webcomic) / int_11dc879d | comment |
Reading Ahead in the Script: Turned into a pretzel in strip XXIX when the DM reads the "Gandalf Returns" script instead of Galadriel's. Upon realizing his mistake, he tells the players to forget what they heard, but they weren't listening anyway. | |

My Friends... and Zoidberg: Gimli's introduction of the party to Théoden has this. This is as much because Gimli just doesn't care enough to remember Gandalf (as he is an NPC). | |

| DM of the Rings (Webcomic) / int_160cc6f | comment |
Cutscene: This is basically how the DM wanted to run the game, and actually did it in a couple scenes, like when Gandalf freed Théoden (which we do not see here due to the focus shifting to Aragorn trying to get laid with Éowyn - only Gimli mentions it later). | |

All There in the Manual | |
| DM of the Rings (Webcomic) / int_17ce80aa | comment |
All There in the Manual: The DM has most of the important story points in notes he wants the players to read, but of course they refuse. Late on, we discover that Aragon's player skipped his character's backstory. Under the comic, Shamus notes that role playing games are one of the few times when someone will need "the Cliff Notes of their own biography". | |

Play the Game, Skip the Story: In-Universe. The players have virtually no interest in the story or roleplaying whatsoever. Even the actual roleplayer of the group find the story too railroaded to be of any interest. | |

Only Sane Man | |
| DM of the Rings (Webcomic) / int_24321e44 | comment |
Only Sane Man: The DM tries to be this, but is so railroady and incompetent that it becomes closer to The Comically Serious and Surrounded by Idiots instead. Gimli is a straighter example, as he's the only player who seems to care at all about roleplaying or the DM's story (he even suggests the DM should try it again sometime, since he now has more experience, though this might be just to get out of having to do it himself), at least until he realizes how much of a dumpster fire the game already is and stops bothering so much, and even then he's still the most experienced and serious player. He's also usually the most successful in changing the campaign, due to the player's Genre Savvy nature after playing (and DM-ing) these types of games for 20 years. | |

Mythology Gag | |
| DM of the Rings (Webcomic) / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: The DM asks why Aragorn isn't using Andúril (the reforged sword of his ancestor). Aragorn asks when he got that and the DM realizes he forgot to give it to him at Rivendell, leading to a hasty visit from Elrond at the Rohirrim camp. This is a reference to the differences between the books (where Aragorn got Andúril at Rivendell) and the movie (where they had to have Elrond visit him at the camp). In general, the comic follows the idea that the book represents the DM's original script for the campaign, and movie changes represent instances where the players go Off the Rails. | |

Allohistorical Allusion | |
| DM of the Rings (Webcomic) / int_2a035a26 | comment |
Allohistorical Allusion: Pippin's player asks if the group really wants to sit through an RPG made "for linguists or historians or whatever." Tolkien was both a linguist and a historian, whose hobby was inventing Con Langs and writing a book series where those languages mapped to mythological peoples, such as elves and dwarves. | |

| DM of the Rings (Webcomic) / int_415b3315 | comment |
Stylistic Suck: The game the guys are playing just flat-out sucks, largely because the DM is terrible at telling it. The players hate it, hate the DM for forcing them through it, and hate each other for good measure. The entire appeal of the strip is how they snark their way through it regardless. | |

| DM of the Rings (Webcomic) / int_4fc92b68 | comment |
Suddenly Always Knew That: The solution to the corsair problem? Aragorn knows how to sail ships, despite being nominally a ranger. Not that he cared to know it in the first place. That strip also lampshades an Adaptation-Induced Plot Hole in the movies, since in the book, there were far more people sailing the ships than just Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli. | |

But Thou Must!: A warped example. Aragorn is fine with Éowyn coming along with him leaving her people behind, which is clearly not what he's supposed to do. The DM is not prepared for this so she ends up having both sides of the argument about her duty vs her desire and Aragorn loses patience and leaves. | |

Critical Failure | |
| DM of the Rings (Webcomic) / int_5667d866 | comment |
Critical Failure Dave/Frodo rolls a 1 in the battle against the Moria orcs, which is how he gets speared. When they first meet the riders of Rohan, Gimli rolls a 1 on diplomacy and addresses them with "tell me your name, horse f—" "GIMLI!". What makes it even funnier is that Gimli's player said that on his own accord. He was role-playing his own critical failure. Then there's the time Aragorn rolls a 1 on falling off a Warg and therefore he can't fall off, which means he rides it over the cliff instead. Though there are indications of this being deliberate by the DM to get back at Aragorn for some bit of Jerkassery earlier in the campaign. Especially when one remembers several strips earlier the DM making a note of forcing Aragorn over a cliff at some point. Also when Legolas tries to shoot Saruman. Subverted in that the DM ends up raving about how he killed Saruman before realizing Legolas scored a 1, so he changed it into killing GrÃÂma instead. | |

Grappling with Grappling Rules | |
| DM of the Rings (Webcomic) / int_57a77ad8 | comment |
Grappling with Grappling Rules: The blurb to this comic shows that he was going to make a joke about the players being gung-ho to fight the Watcher, but terrified of having to figure out how to wade through the (admittedly very complex) grappling system while fighting a creature with dozens of tentacles. Unfortunately, he couldn't make the joke pay off, and just skipped over the scene. | |

Elfeminate: Legolas gets this a lot from... just about everyone, really, but especially Aragorn. It seems Aragorn has this problem with elves in general. When Haldir comes to Rohan's help, Aragorn accuses him of being a Saruman's spy, calling Haldir "smouldering temptress" and "she-devil". | |

Won't Take "Yes" for an Answer | |
| DM of the Rings (Webcomic) / int_60bf1097 | comment |
Won't Take "Yes" for an Answer: When Éowyn asks to join the Fellowship, the DM obviously expected the players to follow his script and say no, but Aragorn's player says "Sure, as long as you can fight." Obviously unable to deal with this, the DM continues to read Éowyn's scripted dialog, causing her to act like they rejected her despite Aragorn's increasingly frustrated attempts to say otherwise. Eventually the players have had enough and just walk away, muttering about her being a lunatic. | |

Off the Rails | |
| DM of the Rings (Webcomic) / int_60eac4ba | comment |
Off the Rails: Defied by the DM most of the time, save for when the players get the drop on him. Like when Legolas gets a critical/max damage and ends up scoring a One-Hit KO on Gollum, removing him from the story before he really enters. All of the Hobbit players leaving the game also put something of a crimp on things; he ends up just declaring they made it to Mount Doom off-screen. | |

When they first meet the riders of Rohan, Gimli rolls a 1 on diplomacy and addresses them with "tell me your name, horse f—" "GIMLI!". What makes it even funnier is that Gimli's player said that on his own accord. He was role-playing his own critical failure. | |

Not So Above It All: Twice in as many strips! In XIII: Let's Not go There, after the Fellowship inevitably devolves into nonstop Monty Python quotes, the exasperated DM finally shouts, "Bloody peasants!" at them. The very next strip, (XIV: Boring Distractions) involves Legolas and Boromir's players ruining the tension of their perilous climb up Mt. Cahadras by talking about whether they should upgrade their web servers to PHP 5. Aragorn, of all people tries to get them back on track, only for the DM to join in on the PHP discussion. | |

A movie tie-in one to Pirates of the Caribbean in strip CIX. Starcraft in CXV Star Wars in CXXVI. Legolas pointed it out. A brief one to Spock. One of the strips is titled "Disorder of the Stick". In the Halloween strip when trying to come up with a name for the group, one of the suggestions is "The Seven Keepers of the Ring". | |

Supporting Protagonist | |
| DM of the Rings (Webcomic) / int_c960826 | comment |
Supporting Protagonist: After all of the Hobbit players quit the game, the focus is put entirely on Aragorn, Gimli and Legolas... but the DM's refusal to tweak his story to account for this means the heroes are now effectively a decoy party, while a few NPC are solving the main plot entirely offscreen. The players do not take it well when the outcome of the whole campaign boils down to a character who's not even in the scene succeeding at a single dice roll. | |

Death of a Thousand Cuts | |
| DM of the Rings (Webcomic) / int_cadf2d2a | comment |
Death of a Thousand Cuts: Not shown, but it's implied that this is how they get rid of the Mûmak, as everyone keeps stabbing its toes instead of going with Legolas' idea of climbing up the creature and stab it in the eyes. Shamus justifies this in the comic's comment, as climbing up on it just means you take a lot of extra turns to do the climbing, with lots of extra rolling and calculating, and even if you do get up on it, the damage you do isn't any different than at the toes. | |

Took the Bad Film Seriously: In-Universe example. Well, took the bad campaign seriously. Gimli is the only player who pays attention to the plot, even if he claims he hates it. Most of all the DM. Much of the general low quality of the campaign is a direct result of him doing this. | |

| DM of the Rings (Webcomic) / int_cfd569ac | comment |
Take Your Time: Three days after the armies left Minas Tirith for Mordor, the DM reminds Aragorn that he forgot to heal Éowyn and the hobbits that were wounded in the previous battle. So, instead of leaving them to their fate, he decides to go all the way back, heal them and come back, leaving the army waiting on the road for six in-game days without any consequences. | |

Screw This, I'm Outta Here | |
| DM of the Rings (Webcomic) / int_d9cf40fa | comment |
Screw This, I'm Outta Here: The game has eight players at one point, and by the end only three remain. Boromir quits because he's dead and wants to stay that way; see I Die Free. Dave (Frodo's player) loses his patience shortly later and go DM'ing a Star Wars campaign, taking Sam, Merry, and Pippin with him. The hobbits eventually return late in the game, but at that point they are NPCs. Even Aragorn almost does this at the very end, before he learns of his Awesome Moment of Crowning. The comic was originally supposed to end with all but one player leaving the campaign, so he then goes off to play MechWarrior. | |

Are You Pondering What I'm Pondering?: Subverted. Gandalf states that the main characters have to go on the offensive against Sauron to keep his eye fixed on the West so the halflings can do their stuff. Aragorn, who's sick of Gandalf and isn't listening, overrules him out of hand and reveals his own plan... Which is to go on the offensive and "beat on [Sauron] until he cries like a little girl". | |

Suspiciously Specific Denial: Éomer says he hasn't seen the two hobbits... right after reciting their names, which even the players have forgotten, and which he couldn't possibly know except if the PCs told him. Of course, this is an unintended example, speaking more of the DM's ineptude than anything, because he lets the players assume they told him rather than giving them the names and telling them to ask again. | |

Unbuilt Trope | |
| DM of the Rings (Webcomic) / int_f0e85546 | comment |
Unbuilt Trope: This comic is considered the Trope Maker for the Campaign Comic, but it doesn't make use of the tropes a campaign comic is usually known for. Usually in a Campaign Comic, the players have identities and distinct personalities that affect how they play their characters, and the game tries to parse the distinctions of the setting into gaming terms that become a theme (for example, the over-the-top One Piece fighting antics and idiocy of the protagonists turns into a theme of absurd Min-Maxing and Lethal Joke Character builds). DM of the Rings is largely built around how the setting is an awful choice for traditional gaming and how dysfunctional the group is. Even Gimli's initial introduction as The Roleplayer is quickly forgotten. | |

Railroading | |
| DM of the Rings (Webcomic) / int_f6f6adeb | comment |
Railroading: A really blatant case. Justified in that (according to the first strip) the DM has read Tolkien, the players haven't, and the DM is trying to introduce it to them through the medium of an RPG. A good idea in theory. This early premise, however, is quickly abandoned in favor of the suggestion that the DM wrote the story himself; apparently, LOTR does not exist as a book in the world of the comic, despite being the precursor to D&D and a major Trope Codifier for modern fantasy. One of the most obvious examples. The DM clearly has a big conversation planned between Gandalf and Wormtongue. After Wormtongue's first line, Gimli's player steps forward, interrupts Gandalf's response, and introduces the party. The DM repeats Wormtongue's line and continues with Gandalf's response as if that simply didn't happen. Gimli resists one attempt by metagaming. One amusing version comes at the scene where Éowyn asks to join the group. Aragorn is totally okay with it, but the GM keeps on acting like he followed the novel and said no. After a few attempts at straightening things out, he eventually just writes her off as a nut and leaves. | |
