 RK Mulholland's Something PositiveSomething Positive is a consistently smart, funny webcomic that is only peripherally about gamers. That's actually a point in it's favor. The gamers in S*P are dysfunctional is ways that aren't really connected to their gaming lives.
And yet, when he talks gaming, Mulholland gets it right. Steve Jackson (who looked exactly like that when I met him at a con in Houston in the 1980s) is using Mulholland's "Redneck Trees" in Munchkin 3: Clerical Errors.
The player "Mike" in the Redneck Trees strip is a perfect example of the kind of player that makes a GM ban cross-gender play.
And Evil Stevie is right. We played Illuminati:New World Order late into the night before John's wedding. Much fun was had by all.
