History Webcomic / ChainmailBikini

* {{Fanservice}}: All of Marcus's characters are hot, sexy ladies, usually an [[OurElvesAreBetter elf]].

* ArtisticLicenseBiology: InUniverse, Josh is called on the fact his character can't in fact be [[TooManyHalves half ogre, half dark elf and half human]] at the same time, unless he had three parents. He claims the character does-we cut to an image of a human male in bed with an ogre female and dark elf female. Funnily enough, while that's impossible, if the sex ratios were reversed it actually ''could'' happen, though it's rare-two fertilized ova can fuse to become what's called a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chimera_%28genetics%29 chimera]] (women can become pregnant by different men if it's within three days). Of course, since this is fantasy, they could just say it's [[AWizardDidIt caused by magic]] too.

* AwesomeMcCoolname: Josh's min-maxed character, "xXKillstealer69Xx."

'''Chuck:''' [[http://shawntionary.com/chainmailbikini/?p=39 That's not what I'm talking about!]]

* BlackComedyRape: Whether they intended it to be rape or not, an early comic where Ramgar (at the least) gropes Marcus's female character did ''not'' sit well with readers.

You can find it [[https://www.shamusyoung.com/twentysidedtale/?p=45757 here]].

* WeBuyAnything: Upon [[https://www.shamusyoung.com/twentysidedtale/?p=46850 meeting a travelling merchant]], the party attempts to sell him all the mostly worthless junk they're carrying, including pig bones and a straw hat. The DM points out how stupid it is, but decides to roll with it anyway.

* ComplacentGamingSyndrome: In-universe, taken UpToEleven in the "finale" comic.

* CrossPlayer: Marcus, to the annoyance of the other players.

* {{Fanservice}}: All of Marcus's characters.

* ArtifactTitle: [[spoiler:Sapphire, who wears the titular bikini, is killed off fairly early on]].

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[spoiler:During the final battle against Deuse Baaj, Casey, who was going for a TotalPartyKill out of frustration, makes up a rule that a character couldn't cast spells while falling after Marcus' character gets knocked out the window. Naturally, the players throw it right back in his face after the same thing happens to Deuse Baaj.]]

* [[spoiler: ReviveKillsZombie: The party hits Deuse Baaj with a resurrection potion to destroy him. Chuck rules that it simply brings him back to life (so instead of a Lich Necromancer, he's a mortal one).]]

A gaming webcomic about a group of {{Munchkin}} players getting the best of their uncreative DungeonMaster, as brought to you by the minds behind ''DMOfTheRings'' and is in fact something of a sequel.

* {{Crossover}}: Aragorn's player from ''DMOfTheRings'' shows up at one point.

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[spoiler:During the final battle against Deuse Baaj, Chuck, who was going for a TotalPartyKill out of frustration, makes up a rule that a character couldn't cast spells while falling after Marcus' character gets knocked out the window. Naturally, the players throw it right back in his face after the same thing happens to Deuse Baaj.]]

'''Casey:''' '''[[BigNo NO!]]''' Don't give him that book!

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Sadly, the comic was not finished. The website contains some author notes on how the story would have ended.

* WomenAreWiser: The sole female gamer in the group is also the most sensible. Note that she's still a {{Jerkass}} like everyone else, but it's still noticeable.

------------

* CrossPlayer: Marcus, to the annoyance of the other players.
* CrowningMomentOfFunny: [[http://shawntionary.com/chainmailbikini/?p=65 The party bypasses a dungeon by starving the goblins out]].
* DarknessInducedAudienceApathy: Almost certainly one of the reasons this comic didn't work out and inspired so much DudeNotFunny as opposed to ''DM of the Rings'' is that, separated from the connection to ''Lord of the Rings'' with its characters and story people were familiar with, the gaming group came off less as a parody/commentary on gaming tropes and bad gaming and more just a group of people being [[JerkAss complete dicks]] to each other.

* FreudWasRight: Ramgar the Barbarian, with his mighty spear Silvershaft, is pretty much the personification of phallic imagery.
* MoralEventHorizon: Well, as close as you can get in a comic about a gaming group, anyway. A lot of readers ''really'' didn't like that Casey let someone else take over another player's character without permission--in fact, despite that player ''explicitly telling him'' not to allow it.
* RapeAsComedy: Whether they intended it to be rape or not, an early comic where Ramgar (at the least) gropes Marcus's female character did ''not'' sit well with readers.
* WhatAnIdiot: Casey is extremely slow on the uptake. He could have ''easily'' stopped the party from bypassing the goblin cave, for instance, if he weren't so stuck in his original plan.

* CloserToEarth: The sole female gamer in the group is also the most sensible. Note that she's still a {{Jerkass}} like everyone else, but it's still noticeable.
