This is superb. 15/10.

The High Gygaxian is on point

When you played a lead Dwarf from the Iron Hills that drowned mid-week in a battle against crudely drawn Sahaugin, your Dragon Dude is alright.

Hah jokes on you, most anime fantasy races* are based ones from jrgs, which in turn were inspired by old western crpg that in turn were based on D&D races. So all these isekai animes are in fact Gary Gyges's fault.
*Accept those based on Japanese folklore but that ii +10%

A Gary Gygax born in 1990 would totally have lewd statues of anime girls. No doubt

Sauce?

I’ll admit, I’m a little confused. But at the same time, I really really love this!
The amazing story, the Deep Pits, the 2112%, the wonderful finishing on it… just pure art!

What is this "generating stats using chits drawn from a cup"? Can someone tell me more about that?
2
in early days of D&D there was a period of time when they had trouble sourcing polyhedral dice to keep up with the demand for the game, so they shipped the game with chits (small cardboard squares with numbers printed on them, like pieces from an avalon hill board game) instead. Just a way to get random numbers without dice.

Didn't know that, thanks!

Further research yielded this discussion on dragonsfoot: https://www.dragonsfoot.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=88&t=26364&sid=1a2cc21053e4319f79a287a6056e1ad4
Apparently, this was a thing at some point with the OD&D and Blue Basic boxes.

A race inspired by anime should be separated into two categories; anime created before '99 and anime created after '00.

Very amusing, it would be nice to know what book it came from, though
1
The art is taken from, and the fonts, layout, style (choices like what to bold or put in all caps) and phrasing based directly on, the 1st Edition AD&D DMG.
2
This could easily have been a long lost page from the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Dungeon Master's Guide. You get points for the style alone!

Listen to Rush (Limbaugh) talk radio while playing d&d? SCREAM

(I had never heard of the band and honestly thought you might be a nazi when I first saw that.)

The +2112% is a reference to their album, they dabbled with Objectivism a little but got straightened out AFAIK.
I'm most definitely not one of the reoccurring chudbuckets on here.

I'm not sure you know what a nazi is..

Silly man

Aren't we all once in a while?

I haven’t seen a ton of old school artwork, but this feels accurate.
I have and it is
I have, it is, and it's glorious.
