Hoody-hoo! In September 2023 we presented the all-new KoDT Trouble 5 Quick Deal, our fifth collection of Jolly R. Blackburn‘s long-running comic about tabletop roleplaying, Knights of the Dinner Table from Kenzer & Company. In every issue of KoDT, the players in B. A. Felton’s HackMaster campaign find so many devious new ways to torment their Gamemaster, you’ll say “They’re just like my players!”
Knights of the Dinner Table follows the (mis)adventures of a roleplaying group in Muncie, Indiana. The town holds a large community of gaming enthusiasts including tabletop roleplayers, video game fanatics, larpers, wargaming grognards, and one notorious chain-smoking chimpanzee. Every week the Knights meet at their GM’s mother’s house to hack and slash through HackMaster, their game of choice. Storylines intermingle as the characters’ personal lives and foibles conflict with their ever-present urge to claim loot and experience points for their in-game personas. The Knights scheme, backstab, and occasionally cooperate as they face the pitfalls of not-so-everyday gaming.
For many years Kenzer has reprinted back issues of KoDT, two to four issues at a time, in its Bundle of Trouble compilations. We’ve already presented 40 volumes, and we still have a lot of catching up ahead, because the compilations have already reached Volume 76! We made more headway with this bargain-priced “bundle of Bundles” that brings you DRM-free .PDF ebooks of Bundle of Trouble Volumes #41-50, collecting KoDT issues #139-178 (2008-2011) – a total retail value of $130. Even if you’re new to the Knights’ dinner table, these Trouble-some collections make it easy to pull up a chair and enjoy the longest-running and most successful comic strip in RPG history.
Here are links to the DriveThruRPG pages for all the volumes in this offer: KoDT Bundle of Trouble Volume 41, V42, V43, V44, V45, V46, V47, V48, V49, and V50.
