I would like to note that, above all, this is a game of DnD being played by a bunch of people who were here to have fun. And a good DnD game isn't defined by the best story or the best Roleplay or the strongest characters. A good DnD game is defined by if the whole group is having fun.
Yes, sometimes that means a deep, serious story with realistic mourning and grief and learning to live again. But having players that can do that without complsint doesn't mean they're the *best* players. I myself love some good RP, and dice rolling.
But recsntly I visited some old friends and we played a game of DnD fallout, and it was unlike any game I've played before. No character sheets, we only rolled D20's on occasion, and it was the most ridiculous, chaotic game I've ever played. We ended with Shrek showing up and roar-ing us all into a fine mist.
But we were laughing and joking the whole time, and I'll always remember it as one of my favorite games. Not saying I want to play it often, or even again. But its all about having fun.
As Thunt established early on, the players in this comic love jokes. That's all the first few pages were, even. Memes and laughs and ridiculousness.
Eventually, the players started to see the world, and get attached to the characters, and really fall into their heads. To understand them, and find a plot, and run with it. To enjoy the serious roleplay too.
But underneath it all, even between the grief and pain and epicness, the players enjoy corny, silly, rude jokes. And while normally, that stuff would be out-of-character, just funny jokes around the table, its clear that this world is much more meta than that, and the characters are as much the players as the players are the characters.
The point is to have fun.
