Campaign Comic

A very specific type of Fan Web Comic.

The franchise as you know it (movie, TV series, cartoon, etc.) doesn't exist. Instead, the world and the characters are all part of a custom Tabletop RPG campaign. The player characters - playing the main characters of the original work - are completely new to this story, which the DM completely controls. The comic is composed of stills taken from the cartoon, TV show, or movies, with the players (who are never seen) providing both in-character and out-of-character dialogue, and the DM acting as both narrator and harried omnipotent author.

Shamus Young's DM of the Rings is most likely the Trope Maker, since almost all of the comics it inspired use the same visual vocabulary.
