DM of the Rings/YMMV

"DM: The walls crack open, and thousands of skulls are unleashed!
 * Cliche Storm: Even the tropes that weren't made by the books become RPG cliches in the hands of the DM.
 * Crowning Moment of Awesome: It's rare but just about any time the group manages to outsmart the DM through cleverness.
 * Crowning Moment of Funny: Just about any strip, but notably:

Gimli: I'll bet this was a robust culture. Imagine their funerals...

DM: The skulls continue to pour in, filling the room and threatening to crush your nitpicking, over-analyzing characters."


 * Also, Aragorn's brilliant military leadership.
 * Jerkass: Everyone is this in one way or another, but the DM takes the cake! Everyone else's tendencies can essentially be blamed on him anyway... most of their own jerkass moments are sorely provoked by his horrible storytelling.
 * Just Here for Godzilla: With the exception of Gimli, none of the players give a damn about the story. And even Gimli loses his patience with the horrible pacing and railroading (don't tell The Roleplayer how his character feels.)
