A comic that flitters between parody of and earnest follower of RPG video games. Follows the RPGMechanicsVerse format. The story so far revolves around Lance, your typical [[TheHero Hero]] and features original characters as they travel through lands with the typical quirks/flaws of the RPG genre. Also sometimes features strips based on actual video games, such as ''Franchise/FinalFantasy''.
