A four-panel SMBC comic. Panel 1: a person with long black hair and glasses asks a young man in a blue shirt, "So, what got you into D&D?" He replies, "It all started back when I was conceived..." Panel 2, labeled "EARLIER...": an angel lying in bed next to a giant yellow twenty-sided die says, "Hey God. A zygote was created. Roll for charisma." Panel 3: the giant yellow d20 floats over a table (with a soda can and dice), and a speech bubble from the die says, "Dammit" — implying God rolled a low charisma score for the new person. Votey: a hand-drawn d20 with a speech bubble reading "Critical dork!", a pun on a critical roll producing a low-charisma nerd.
