The DM of the Rings

Via The Slumbering Lungfish Dybbuk Hostel and All-Night Boulangerie: The DM of the Rings is a webcomic that presents The Lord of the Rings (the movie version) as if it were a D&D campaign. Extreme geek humor, yes, but it's funny if you've ever played a role-playing game.

Also, spiders are in the news lately.
