I do not get this comic at all…
- In DnD, there are many ways of approaching character creation. You can make a serious character with a deep background which influences the story and play style... Or you can completely ignore all that and just make a goofy little guy. You will usually get some mixture of both in most DnD groups.
  So the first two characters are discussing their serious background and their motivations and then the other two are just like "I am a fancy lil frog nobel." and "I'm a farmer!"
  
  I play a ton of DnD and pathfinder. I just didn’t get the comic. Especially about the stillborn child, which wouldn’t be stillborn if it was saved. And the final two panels didn’t make sense to me at all so thanks for explaining that. I didn’t get 3 of the 4 panels.
- I think its saying that the two silly characters are breaking the fourth wall?
  
  breaking the fourth wall
  I think this has to be it-- good call
- You're not the only one

I read them as a couple, though now I'm not sure the artist intended that way
- I don't know either, but having preexisting relationships is absolutely incredible for roleplay.
- Same. It has that resemblance to the classic American Gothic painting.
  I very badly want to know the frog’s name.
  
  Isn't that painting of a farmer and his daughter, not a farmer and his wife, though?

My most iconic character (in the shared imaginations of my friends) is my sorceress pirate gal from a Final-Fantasy style campaign.
Our party included:
A tragic Samurai looking to avenge his father who got war-crimed.
A rogue who had their name stolen and is basically a blob of pure self-hatred.
A warrior monk looking to develop her strengths so she can protect the weak
A former slave who spent hundreds of years in slavery and wants to punish the slavers.
A knight who lost all his memories except the traumatic memory that resulted in all the other lost memories.
........ And then there was my gal. A magic college professor who decided "**** it, I'm tired of being boring. I'm gonna go and be a sky pirate, and I want to die an epic death". She is the team mom.

Nice day for fishing, ain't it? Heheh!

A certified session 0 moment :3.. the lighter side will probably end up adding something deeper to their characters if that's the direction the world will be setting them to
- Slappy the Firbolg Barbarian

is very important.
