* ''Comments:'' {{Tropers/Grumman}}: The story has a good mix of traditional ''[[DungeonsAndDragons D&D]]'' adventuring with the relationship between the two main characters.
** GM_ace: Seconded. For fans of the {{Eberron}} setting in particular The Rising Mists does a fantastic job of showing the immediate effects of the Day of Mourning, and Welcome to the Jungle does I dare say a better job exploring Q'Barra and the religous/mythological aspects of the setting, including some of the racial tensions of the world (warforged have not been emancipated yet, for instance, and Neana's hatred of Valenar elves is a major plot point). If you like Eberron at all, this is a must-read.

*Recommended by @/AckSed
*''Synopsis'': Ilneval, patron deity of orcs, is tired of their status as the backward, violent {{mooks}} of every story. So he rips the soul out of a random nerd and, after some 'persuading', sticks it in Huruk, tribe leader of the Stonegrinders. There's going to be some ''changes'' around here...
*''Comments'': So yeah, this is a self-insert, but it's less 'superior human' and more 'how much of me is orc and how much is human?'. Excellent worldbuilding and original characters.

* ''Summary'': An IRL multi-year campaign featuring a handful of longtime players taking their party from first level to the mid-teens, facing one EndOfTheWorld scenario after another with judicious [[CrazyPrepared planning]] and [[CrazyEnoughToWork hare-brained mechanics]]. ThePlague, AGodAmI, and KillTheGods are heavily featured. The last few entries imply they might also have accidentally unleashed an EldritchAbomination in the form of a crusty, old treasure-finding parrot... The adventure continues in ''[[http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=309668 Little Big One]]''.
* ''Comments'': The author and his friends find more and more creative ways to take on ridiculous opposition and roll with their [=DM's=] punches on a level that can only be considered professional. And the character roleplaying is damn near suicidal at times. A great read and something like a master class in high level play. Often compared to the above-mentioned [=SilverClawShift=] campaign linked above.

''FanFic/HarryPotterAndTheNatural20'' by [[http://www.fanfiction.net/u/3989854/Sir-Poley Sir Poley]]
* Recommended by {{Tropers/Robinton}}
* ''Synopsis:'' "Milo, a genre-savvy D&D Wizard and Adventurer Extraordinaire is forced to attend Hogwarts, and soon finds himself plunged into a new adventure of magic, mad old Wizards, metagaming, misunderstandings, and munchkinry."
* ''Comments:'' Generally agreed to be only moderately amusing for a Creator/TerryPratchett [[{{Literature/Discworld}} novel]]. That is to say, [[CrowningMomentOfFunny absolutely hilarious]], truly [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome awesome]], and still [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming heartwarming]]. Extremely recommended.

* ''Comments'': Tale of Solaron is a hilarious story, with both adventurous action and great humor. Many laughs and crowning moments of heartwarming make Solaron a likable character, regardless of him being a large snake person. Link goes to the archived 4chan threads, however reader comments are thus far not trauma inducing. Updates almost every day.

*''Synopsis'': Solaron is a naive young man who sets out from home to find adventure and excitement and to become a bard. However, Solaron faces difficulties in his quest due to him being a Yuan Ti, a snake person. Too naive to understand the problems this presents, and too enthusiastic to care, Solaron sets off to lands unknown for adventure, encountering danger and excitement, and no small amount of humor.

* ''Summary'': Noh is an adorable young girl with a magical rapier and chainmail shirt. The character originates from a story from a DM about how his players approached a puzzling challenge in a rather unorthodox manner, and found so much resonance with /tg/ that much drawfaggotry was inspired and many fa/tg/uys include references to or variations on the character in their own games. She is named for one of her catchphrases, which is simply "No."
