Line 102:
* Happened in a few ''[[Megatokyo]]'' strips, some ''[[Real Life Comics|Real Life]]'' strips too.
* Happens a lot in ''[[PvP]]''.
** Which sets us up nicely for a subversion in [httphttps://wwwweb.archive.org/web/20130922015843/http://pvponline.com/comic/2010/11/23/hide-and-weak/ this comic].
* The IM program in ''[[El Goonish Shive]]''. The author actually [[Lampshaded]] this trope the second time it was used.
** Also the semi-canonical game of [[Black and White]] in the NP strips.
Line 109:
* In ''[[Something*Positive]]'', all game characters qualify.
* ''[[Chainmail Bikini]]'' neatly fits this description, as the scene shifts back and forth between chararacters-in-gameworld and players-at-table views. Recently, a newcomer took over one of the characters in the RPG, and that character's face changed to represent the new player.
* ''[[DM of the Rings]]'' and ''[[Darths and Droids]]'' are based entirely around this concept with the images taken from ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'' and ''[[Star Wars]]'' respectively, but with all the speech being comments made by the players of a tabletop RPG following that story.
* The Fantasy and Space themes of ''[[Irregular Webcomic]]'' are this. Space tends to go a lot deeper, to the point where it's a major surprise when Paris drops out of character after being so disgusted by [[A Wizard Did It]]. {{spoiler|And it's even more of a surprise when she gets no response, possibly because Me had been killed some strips earlier. There's been no follow-up in the Space theme about this. (Though it had once been declared that DMM from the Me theme isn't the same as DMM as the GM, the fact remains that neither GM has been seen since.)}}
* Several strips of ''[[Loserz]]'', starting with [https://web.archive.org/web/20101213220440/http://bukucomics.com/loserz/go/339 this one].
Line 147:
* The entire point of ''[[Captain N: The Game Master]]''.
* The ''[[Duck Dodgers]]'' episode "MMORPD (Massive Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Duck)" does this too. [[Justified]] as being a [[Virtual Reality]] game in the future.
* This is the entire plot of ''[[Chaotic]]'', where the cast does this ''literally''.
