[edit] Expansion

I put a request for expansion for this article on July 14th, 2005.--Azathar 15:35, 14 July 2005 (UTC)

I have made preliminary expansion, and have removed the request flag, confident that other KoDT fans will continue the work of filling out the article -- and the other which will spring from it. I merely ask that, when someone VfDs the page as fan-cruft, the administrators will note that expansion was positively requested, so someone somewhere other than me (and Garth and Wayne) feels that this page is "worthy". --Simon Cursitor 13:02, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Great strip

What a great strip. I was just reading my old Bundles of Trouble last night (after playing DnD for nine hours straight on Friday night to Saturday morning), and it never gets old. Who'd ever believe that such a crappy, horribly drawn comic would get so popular? Hoody-hoo. jglc | t | c 15:42, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

Agreed. If one wanted to analyze its success, I'd say it's because the writing is nearly perfect for the subject matter. But why analyze? just enjoy! rewinn 19:49, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pictures

Would it be possible for someone to insert pictures of the characters into the article, or would that be a copyright violation? Mo-Al 22:39, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Copyvio?

Some of this article seems to have been listed from the bios in the comics. Mo-Al 05:58, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

They definitely ripped off some of the bios.--Bedford 06:03, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

I feel a little hesitant to place the copyvio template, but it probably should be done. Mo-Al 01:30, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Perhaps someone ought to ask Jolly directly if the bio's are free to use? He does have his e-mail online and in the comic after all. lucashoal 18:46, August 31, 2006 (EST)

I've paraphrased most of them now, but someone should go through and make sure. Mo-Al 23:12, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Page expansion

If I might suggest, this page is very character heavy. Perhaps the characters could be moved to their own page (such as Characters from Knights of the Dinner Table), freeing up room for a brief plot summary, and some more "real world" information about the impact of the strip (critical reception etc.) Dr Aaron 13:04, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

• I would agree with this suggestion. --Lendorien 16:47, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Erik Bouchard

The article claims Erik is not a hackmaster player, and (as such) does not have qualms performing a dice-rub on gary. Now, if I remember correctly (and I have not consulted my collection here), Erik is mentioned in a Hard 8-strip as a canadian power gamer that was hired in as a player during a sanctioned tournament, and subsequently banned. I also seem to recall that both Bob and Brian had few scrouples in performing a dice-rub themselves. Does anyone feel sure enough about the details to correct this? Or bother to read trough all the issues again? If I stumble upon it, I'll try to correct any wrong info. erik. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.203.48.1 (talk) 23:42, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
