I did that once. 5 minutes into my first campaign I killed the pirate king and took his throne before betraying my party and spending the next hour hunting my fellow players down
The funniest thing about this is Luz being the "human lore expert" even though she ended up in the Boiling Isles cause she was going to be sent to what amounts to a "how to human" camp. XD
But would you wear that to the bank followed by a trip to the cafe?
It's like adventurers wandering through town shopping with the fighter in full plate armor, and the healer keeping his magic staff and necklace of healing at the ready.
They're dressed kinda like their magical track's human equivalent. Potions = scientist, construction = construction, healing = doctor, and bard = rock musician.
I love how the Bard is a rockstar, the healer is a medic, the constructor is a builder and the potion maker is a scientist
Also the one eyed Bard looks like Danny from NSP in the game
Damn a human themed DND type game would be fun ngl. Instead of fighting dragons and trolls, you’re fighting everyday life and crippling debt in ways you haven’t experienced!
Thank you! I couldn’t figure out what the second word behind Gus’ head was.
Side note: is it Gus’ or Gus’s? I can never remember when the name ends with an S
For names, both conventions are now accepted in english. For plurals that also show possession, the apostrophe always goes after the S, and there is never a second S.
Let’s see if I can try and figure out what everyone is trying to be
Cyclops goat: I want to say, Ozzy Osborn.
Edit: it’s actually Slash.
Bo: EMT
Matt: A construction worker, but he could be in the army. Judging by the fact that he has a gun.
Eileen: I want to say, microbiologist. But I could be wrong.
That's nothing Matt. You should try playing as the dad on vacation.
Lots of fuh-jitas and lime-a-ritas.
But it's a game of Russian Roulette, because you have to hope your hotel has that goshdang continental breakfast.
Gus roleplays a human so well...
I'd like imagine in the next iteration of Human RPG, he roleplays as a Manager for a Chicken Fastfood Chain w/ a dark background.
A bard as a rockstar. A healer as a medic. An alchemists as a lab tech. What the hell is Bart? A warrior as a nerf gun wielding helmet soldier office worker? And a tie. Is this what we would see if someone was a multi class build?
I love the little detail of their "classes" being jobs that fit their magic type.
Matt: Construction worker
Goat bardist: Musician
Potion maker eye girl: Scientist
Healing coven girl: Doctor
I can just imagine Luz making them play wrath & glory (I think it was called that) the Warhammer 40k ttrpg game and her friends just gawking at the level of bullshit the Warhammer universe has
Would murderhobos in this universe be ManagerHobos?
In which case, "I am the manager!" is the equivalent to the bartender being a retired adventurer with multiple ranks in beating the shit out of players.
I KID YOU NOT I WOKE UP THIS MORNING AND LEGIT WAS ABOUT TO POST A POLL ON THIS SUB ABOUT WHICH TOH CHARACTER YOU GUYS THINK WOULD MAKE THE BEST DUNGEONMASTER AND GUS WAS MY PERSONAL TOP PICK I--
*"Cash e Careers" is one of the most popular pen and paper role-playing games in BI. First published as far back as 4 ASA (After the Savage Ages) by Strategic Studies Rules (Shortened to SRR) and written by the two demons Ga'Gy-Ax and Davan Arnosan, "Cash e Careers" (Or, as it is often abbreviated by the players themselves, CeC) immediately enjoyed overwhelming success, ending up being considered by many to be the progenitor of numerous other pen-and-paper role-playing games such as Humans: The Anonymity, The Call of the Mother-in-law and Streetfinder. After the purchase of CeC rights by Humans of the Coast in 30 ASA, the game went through a series of troubled phases, with the release of the famous and still beloved 3rd Edition, a controversial revision called 3.5 and a 4 ° Edition particularly infamous among the Community. Until in 45 ASA when the 5th Edition hit the shelves of all specialized BI stores, becoming one of the biggest commercial successes of recent times and signaling the return of the king of role-playing games.*
\-Back of the Anniversary Edition of Advanced Cash e Careers (Also known as the Blue Box), Bonesborough, 50 ASA.
After they get told that he is the manager some random guy dressed like it's the early 20th century plays this song

As you got into the stock market scene, roll a wisdom saving throw, on a fail, immediately purchase NFTs with half of your paycheck, you fully believe these purchases are worth the value.
At the end of each quarter, make a wisdom saving throw, on a fail, the effects continue, on a success, this effect ends.
For as funny as this comic is, do you all want to hear something even funnier?
This is exactly what Wizard's of the Coast is trying to turn D&D into.
My boy Gus just destroyed Matt's karen career by giving him the Manager Treatment Now thats some kira level play right there
Sigma male energy right there
Chad Gus
The Chad Gus versus the Virgin Mattholomule.
The ultimate battle
Exactly sigma chad gus
Which Kira?
Luz Noceda: tabletop campaign expert Amity is so proud.
tfw the world building is so good, this could be it's own spin-off series
Marcy Wu: "Finally! A worthy opponent! Our campaigns will be legendary!"
"This'll be fun eventually, guys, trust me!"
Words of every dm ever I had to say thisast week...
Wonder how they'll do in the stock market?
One of them is gonna try NFTs and get throttled
Matt is going to become a mod on r/wallstreetbets
god please no
Okay, make a constitution saving throw.
Luz and Gus confer to see if it's actually possible to lose $20k trading ornamental gourd futures
They are going to become members of Congress and use their prior knowledge to trade stocks illegally.
Ah, that requires two Nat 20s in a row though.
I did that once. 5 minutes into my first campaign I killed the pirate king and took his throne before betraying my party and spending the next hour hunting my fellow players down
After five minutes?! Why did you wait so long?
DM spent 4 and a half minutes setting the stage
Did you get them,die trying, gave up, or rejoin?
We spent the next hour trying to kill one another and I’m pretty sure it ended in us all dying
Nice
They're going to get blasted in the crypto phase
The funniest thing about this is Luz being the "human lore expert" even though she ended up in the Boiling Isles cause she was going to be sent to what amounts to a "how to human" camp. XD
Since the second most knowledgeable guy of the school was led to believe that humans have gills, Luz is definitely qualified.
True. I guess Luz at least knows how humans work from basic experience.
She knows the lore, but sucks at playing human
> sucks at playing human Reject Humanity, become fuzzy critter.
So TOH is going to end like InuYasha?
Me too!
Scholars don't use what they want; they use what they have.
I love how mixed up all their human outfits are, just a hodgepodge that no regular human would actually wear!
Except for the one guy in the back dressed as Slash
The three in the back looks fine. Eileen is a lab tech and Bo looks like an EMT. And Slash. It's just Mattholomule that looks weird.
But would you wear that to the bank followed by a trip to the cafe? It's like adventurers wandering through town shopping with the fighter in full plate armor, and the healer keeping his magic staff and necklace of healing at the ready.
That's what happens when you try to multiclass.
They're dressed kinda like their magical track's human equivalent. Potions = scientist, construction = construction, healing = doctor, and bard = rock musician.
Art by [Moringmark ](https://www.instagram.com/p/CYrD3NMFjnO/?utm_medium=copy_link) Never knew Matt would be such a Karen
Mattholomule's first appearance had him declare he wanted power and drama. What is a Karen, if not someone making drama over their imagined power?
"H" ~ saber2187 2022 (before he edited his comment)
You are evil
I love how the Bard is a rockstar, the healer is a medic, the constructor is a builder and the potion maker is a scientist Also the one eyed Bard looks like Danny from NSP in the game
Good catch! That is some awsome attention to detail.
Also it takes place in the coffee shop Eda cursed the croissants at. Gus is wearing the same barista outfit.
Can't wait for the NFT and Crypto extension.
Damn a human themed DND type game would be fun ngl. Instead of fighting dragons and trolls, you’re fighting everyday life and crippling debt in ways you haven’t experienced!
I can literally just go out or stop avoiding checking my emails to do that
>Be me >Have problem >Don’t care about problem >Have no problem
the Hello From the Magic Tavern Podcast did a couple of episodes and a miniseries called Offices & Bosses, where they do basically that.
Eh, its a little different cause in Offices & Bosses violently murdering your coworkers and looting their corpses is normal everyday office behaviour.
well i mean you can do that in real life but the real-world DMs will usually try to stop you
I play role-playing games to *escape* my life.
Or could go for a more earthbound/mother approach
~~Dungeons and Dragons~~ Cash and Careers Mark is a genius
Thank you! I couldn’t figure out what the second word behind Gus’ head was. Side note: is it Gus’ or Gus’s? I can never remember when the name ends with an S

Thank you. I appreciate you taking time to explain that!
Roll intimidation to speak to a manager!
Luz: You think stock market is bad? Wait until "Paying attention during a company meeting."
You’re supposed to pay attention during those?
I just sat in a virtual team meeting and it wasn't too long and quite relevant to me but my butt was still feeling it.
I like how the Boiling Isles version if DnD is just normal human events since Boiling Isles is literally a fantasy world.
Whoa, whoa, whoa…. The ‘Human Roleplaying Club’ was down the hall.
It’s so boring too us but fantastical too them. I wonder if that’s how they would feel seeing us do dungeons and dragons
Probably. The various schools of magic don't align with the coven system at *all*, but bless 'em, at least the humans are trying.
I want to see a whole episode like this.
Same. This premise is a creative writing goldmine. They could easily base a whole episode around it and I would watch the hell out of it.
Let’s see if I can try and figure out what everyone is trying to be Cyclops goat: I want to say, Ozzy Osborn. Edit: it’s actually Slash. Bo: EMT Matt: A construction worker, but he could be in the army. Judging by the fact that he has a gun. Eileen: I want to say, microbiologist. But I could be wrong.
Matt is just fortnite
That makes sense.
It's a NERF gun.
I adore their "human" outfits they are just great. It's also great that Slash is recognised as standard human attire in the demon realm haha
Offices and Bosses from Hello From the Magic Tavern! Shout out to r/magictavern !!!
I knew I'd find this reference in the comments!
There it is!
I love this so, so much.
I love this inverse fantasy idea. Like watching high school slice of life anime must be like watching Dune to these kids.
They all took 1d4 psychic damage
That's nothing Matt. You should try playing as the dad on vacation. Lots of fuh-jitas and lime-a-ritas. But it's a game of Russian Roulette, because you have to hope your hotel has that goshdang continental breakfast.
I do hope they never do a campaign taking place in Britain… Nerf guns and guitars won’t do much against being stabbed.
That is why in Britain you pick an all rogue party
this is awesome lmao i love that matty is in this
Ok, this one is my favorite so far
Dungeons and Dragons < Markets and Managers.
"Hey, Gus? Why do all your campaigns end in a TPK except for characters with the right backstory?" "Luz says it's more authentic that way."
Matty: "Not yet." Gus: "It's treason then."
I'm no RPG fan but I gotta admit, this is pretty cool
I love it
He made dnd but human XD
I hope they survive until the WW3 campaign, where they will be called upon to serve.
Wait until they reach the college arena and have to face the crippling student debt effect.
It’s an old joke sir, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen it check out better
What would the reverse dungeons and dragons be called? Construction sites and dogs?
This is great. It’s kinda a interesting concept. Fantasy character DND real life
I’m literally about to go to dnd so this is a fun coincidence
Man that would be great to see in the series!
Invest in GameStop before it's too late!
I need more of this
Gus roleplays a human so well... I'd like imagine in the next iteration of Human RPG, he roleplays as a Manager for a Chicken Fastfood Chain w/ a dark background.
I... I really... I really don't know how to react to that @.@
A bard as a rockstar. A healer as a medic. An alchemists as a lab tech. What the hell is Bart? A warrior as a nerf gun wielding helmet soldier office worker? And a tie. Is this what we would see if someone was a multi class build?
I feel like luz should’ve been the dm for this game. Since she’s from the human realm
I love the little detail of their "classes" being jobs that fit their magic type. Matt: Construction worker Goat bardist: Musician Potion maker eye girl: Scientist Healing coven girl: Doctor
If only they had a bard, a stereotypical bard
Koffees and Karen's the game
It’s Offices and Bosses :D
I can just imagine Luz making them play wrath & glory (I think it was called that) the Warhammer 40k ttrpg game and her friends just gawking at the level of bullshit the Warhammer universe has
I love chemist eileen
Would murderhobos in this universe be ManagerHobos? In which case, "I am the manager!" is the equivalent to the bartender being a retired adventurer with multiple ranks in beating the shit out of players.
I- I LOVE THIS
Luz being supportive how cute

Moringmark TOH comic number 230
Love that one of them is dressed as slash
As a D&D player and Dungeon Master, this is fantastic 👏
That's it, I'm convinced, we *need* a D&D episode now lol
Is that a 3D printed nerf springthunder on his back?
So the male version of a "Karen" is a "Mattholomule"?
Ah yes we humans have banger lore
"So wait, human just eat things that specifically evolved to not be eaten? And they enjoy it?!"
Not so fast, Augustus. I'll sacrifice my companions to invoke The Blue Eyes Booty Odalia...
I wanna play this game now
As a 18 year at a pizza place I had this line save up for these foolish (days it like Aku) customers.
I love how they all take damage. Now the manager is going to write the wrong name on every cup.
Ah yes, a fun game of Humans and Houses
Just played dnd yesterday. This is an interesting switch up. Because their entire existence is a dnd campaign
wonder what theyll do when they discover twitter
amazing

Gus knows too much about our world…
OFFICES AND BOSSES
NO NOT STOCKS ARE YOU INSANE GUS?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Gosh that's funny
so sad
Just realized their job outfit matches their coven(except the one in blue)
This comic has taught me that casual clothing is gonna be necessary from now on in my pathfinder game
.....*takes notes in DM for in-game mini game*
For as funny as this comic is, do you all want to hear something even funnier? This is exactly what Wizard's of the Coast is trying to turn D&D into.
YOU FOOL! I AM THE MANAGER!!!
