639 – Nomos to the rescue!
As always, Dhur has the right idea: either beat the bad guys up until they can’t move no more or if it looks like they can totally kick your butt, hightail it outta there. 🙂 Take care, ~Rob

640 – Welcome to the Rebellion!
They’re giant floating skulls, not rocket scientists. 🙂 Who’s Rochar, you ask? Glad you did! Rochar is the name of a D&D character of one of my longtime readers and frequent Patreon patron, Foradain! I haven’t mentioned it much lately, but if you become a patron at the $20/month level, you get the reward of […]
641 – Rochar and Markie the Wonder Dog
I gotta say, The Inconspicuous Inn is starting to grow on me as a tavern name, supplanting my previous favorite, The Inn of the Moaning Lungfish. Here we finally meet Rochar, a D&D character run by MeatShield Patreon patron Foradain! Described as a halfing archer and ranger, Rochar is slightly taller than most halflings and […]
642 – “Maybe it’ll be more of a challenge if I wore a blindfold?
I have a dilemma: I would love to play in a D&D group on Twitch, but what often happens whenever I want to play D&D, I end up DMing. There’s nothing wrong with that, and I do enjoy it, but I wouldn’t want to be the DM of a Twitch stream; I’m no Matthew Mercer […]
643 – The lab is next to the rec room
Hmm, that coat looks familiar…. I’m thinking of restructuring the rewards tiers for the MeatShield Patreon membership. Here are the reward tiers as they stand now, with editorial comment afterwards: $1.00 per month (Barbarian Level) – Access to the MeatShield Patreon Feed. I don’t think this needs to be changed too much, but I do […]
644 – Long time, no see, Philo!
I’ve been wanting to bring Philo back for a while now. That look on Jaine’s face makes it all worthwhile. 🙂 No deep insights or pithy comments this week, folks! See you next week! Take care, ~Rob
645 – Love is in the air….
Not too sure what’s going on here? Take a look at this and then this. That ought to bring you back up to speed. 🙂 Tonight, my friends, I get to play D&D. Not run D&D as a DM, but play as a player. Ever since Xanathar’s Guide to Everything came out, I have been […]
646 – I Got It!
Apparently Philo lost his 3-D goggles at some point. I don’t think he cares. 🙂 Take care, ~Rob
648 – In your face, Maureen!
A couple of random thoughts: If there were ever to be a MeatShield convention, I would be disappointed if it weren’t named Vorp-Con. Volothamp Geddarm, or “Volo” for short, is essentially the Rick Steves of the Forgotten Realms, only Rick Steves has common sense.I could see Volo endorsing a chain of cross-planar fast food joints. […]
649 – He wears white after Labor Day, too!
That Rochar, he’s a rebel, that one. Last week, I mentioned big news. The big news is… We’re moving back to Texas! This is something that my family and I have been mulling over for over 5 years. Southern California, while it never has been the most affordable place to live (unless you live waaaaaay […]
651 – Anyone got a Plan B? Or C? How about D?
Update from the Land of Packing Boxes Our move to the Lone Star State next month soldiers on, step by step. My house is slowly filling with cardboard boxes bought from a place called (imaginatively enough) Box City. Funny story: when my girls were little and they would ask me where we going, if I […]
652 – Too Little, Too Late
You’d think they would have come up with a plan for this waaaaay beforehand. Hasta, ~Rob
656 – Roll Initiative!
Temporal Duplicates for the win! For the past week, I have felt the same way as Fuschia in the second panel as I’ve been fighting bronchitis in North Texas in the summer. Yech. I’ll come up with an interesting blog post for next week’s comic. In the meantime, I’m going to go cough and blow […]
662 – SHOOMP!
Like any evil wizard worth his salt, Malvat Magh has a contingency spell in his back pocket. Will we see him again? Time will tell… Take care, ~Rob
668 – The rabbit died, Nomos.
We’ve seen Maureen before. Guess she found someone to give her foot rubs and not steal the covers at night. 🙂 Why didn’t Nomos notice Maureen was “in a family way?” He’s been a bit busy running a rebellion to depose a bunch of evil mages – I think Maureen will give him a pass […]
