What drew you to 8-Bit Theatre?

How did I come across 8-bit theatre? Well it all started on a crisp autumn evening last year, when a good friend of mine had pressured me to join him for a game of D&D. See I had never played D&D before so I thought I would give it a try, which is weird because form what I;ve heard its weird for an 18 year old to just get introduced to the game. Well anyway, my good friend was telling me about the rules and making a character and such, when his mom came down and said HEY GUYS COME LOOK OUTSIDE and we went outside and there was some crazy red light in the sky, I still don't know what it was, maybe a solar flare or something, it looked like the meteor thing in FF7 comming down. I played the game so long ago I don't even know what it was, but it was like that. But small...er, and Red, I believe the FF7 one was green?

Anyways we watched that shizzle fo ra bit then went back down to his wood panelled basement. From what I've heard one cannot TRULY experience D&D untill one plays in a wood panelled basement.

Anyways, We got playing and I was having a good time but then we got in a fight with this baby fire dragon, which I don't think is super tough, but we were all like lvl 1 or 2 at the time so it was a pretty big deal for us all. Actually it might have been a baby fire WHELP, not a dragon at all... I'm not sure.

Anyways, I rolled a 1 on my first attack, and my friend goes wooo that sucks you horribly miss and rusty sword. So I'm all like damn that sucks man what do I do now and he goes welll you have to see if you critically miss. So I roll again, and got a 1. So he goes haha your screwed your sword broke you might as well assume the fetal position and cry yourself to fiery death. At this point I got pissed and stormed out.

Anyways when I finally came back and had calmed down a little, I think I went for a little jog and kicked a fire hydrant to get out the anger, he said hey look at this itll cheer you up. And lo and behold on his computer screen was the first ever comic of 8-Bit theatre. And in the next three days I read all the way up to comic 375.

And THAT my friends, is how I, was introduced to 8-bit theatre
