Knights of the Dinner Table/Awesome

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


For a gamer comic, Knights has these in a surprising number.

  • Brian has incurred approximately fifty of these over the course of the comic, none of which can be deemed more awesome than the other. These include:
    • Throwing a stake at a vampire lord and killing him at first level in a Heroic Sacrifice.
    • Destroying B.A.'s massive adventure 30 years in the making by collapsing a column in the basement.
    • He has contingencies for everything. His most elaborate being the meticulous journals he keeps and the procedures he has in place to guarantee that those journals make it to his protege (who he usually has trained and equipped by the time he dies).
    • He prepared a wish consisting of one massive run on sentence consulting the Hackmaster book of legal definitions and retaining the services of a paralegal just to make sure it was ironclad. It granted him immortality. B.A. needed the help of several local Gamemasters to uncover a flaw in the wish (the only one being that his immortal status made it so a deity could get revenge on him and he had already earned the enmity of multiple deities.) At that point, a clause in the wish reversed all of its effects and granted Brian a 25,000 gold piece consolation prize.
  • Bob shooting Red Gurdy Pickens.
    • Another one has him solving a challenge that had stumped the rest of the party, including Brian, for several hours. The kicker? He solved it on his first attempt just after hearing about it.
    • He also managed to disarm a nuclear bomb. How did he do it? Removing the timers triple-A battery.
  • B.A. usually the timid milquetoast of the group, gets some of these. One of his best was when the Black Hands took out the Knights paintball team (in a LARP game called Urban Assassin). When the Black Hands were celebrating their apparent victory, Gordo's Dalek costume opened up to show B.A. Guns Akimbo and he singlehandedly dispatched the whole group. He apparently recruited Sara to help him kidnap Gordo so he could pull a Trojan Horse tactic.
  • The Tremble/ Carvin' Marvin storyarc had one for each of the knights including Johnny as well as Nitro.
  • Jolly R Blackburn linked to our main article. And the fans are pretty impressed with it.
