ROLL FOR INITIATIVE
Jay, Lana, Drew, Walter, and Shen began playing Dice & Deathtraps in high school. Now dealing with college and all the twists and turns of their lives, their weekly game has been a wonderful constant. But, as college graduation looms and it feels like their lives are all moving down very different paths, Lana’s thrilled to finally finally complete the party’s unfinished original campaign. But when Jay’s partner Cassandra joins the game, Lana refuses to let her inexperience ruin the best part of her week! But in the end, that may be Lana and the party’s undoing…

Did you know I also made a whole ttrpg book along with the incredible @littledozerdraws full of DnD shenangins?
A crew of friends who started a Dice & Deathtraps group in a failed GSA club are finally finishing their very first campaign, but a wrench is thrown into the works when their DM’s girlfriend joins in, earnestly fumbling her way through the game. Will they find a new balance or will this last session be the end of more than just the game?
Artist: @littledozerdraws
Writer: Me!
Letterer: @micahmyers
You can get the book HERE or through your local comic shop/book store.

A little illustration of a recent moment from our Curse of Strahd campaign. Cas’s mom seemed pretty well adjusted for a bit, but… it only lasted so long. Simon’s been featured in a few comics so far, but if you’re seeing this little series for the first time or maybe just forgot who he is, he’s Cas (and his sister’s) guardian. He’s been looking after Cas since he was separated from his family 8 years ago.
(Cas’s 16, for anyone unclear!)

This Science Sunday will be a bit shorter, and will look at this series of panels here!
Here, The Wizard is attempting to turn The Thing evil with Freudian Psychology! This is an outdated method of thinking and decision making that has a lot of prominence in pop culture because it was one of the first models proposed.
Freud's theory claims that we have three voices inside our head: the conscious ego, the unconscious superego, and the unconscious id. Freud speculated that the ego was comprised of all our thoughts and feelings, and was the decision maker of the brain. He also thought that, while we couldn't hear our superego or id, they would subtly influence our decision making in meaningful ways. He believed the superego compelled you to act selflessly and help people, while following laws and being a good person. The id on the other hand was compelled to seek reward. It would chase junk food and cocaine (which Freud did a lot of). These two voices would subtly nudge your ego towards certain decisions, like the trope of the angel and the devil on your shoulders.
This theory has never been proven, or even had supporting evidence shown, making me hesitant to call this a Science Sunday. Pseudoscience Sunday may be closer. No matter if you believe the theory or not, Stan Lee's understanding of it seems to be a little lacking, as as soon as The Thing has his id enlarged, he immediately tries to kill all his friends. This isn't the kind of instant gratification behaviour the id is known to seek. It also wouldn't make him any easier to control. It might actually make him harder to control, as he'd be more inclined to act in his own self interest.

Just finished reading this fun comic about a group of friends playing a TTRPG called “Dice & Deathtraps”, reconnecting as adults and meeting new people along the way. They’ve got a D&D-style game, fantasy aspects, queer and POC characters which was great!
Very entertaining.
