From the site's own description: "Lord of the Rings is more or less the foundation of modern D&D. The latter rose from the former, although the two are now so estranged that to reunite them would be an act of savage madness. Imagine a gaggle of modern hack-n-slash roleplayers who had somehow never been exposed to the original Tolkien mythos, and then imagine taking those players and trying to introduce them to Tolkien via a D&D campaign."
It's a "webcomic", in that it's presented in strip format, but uses screenshots from the movies for the artwork. It's hilarious, particularly if you've played tabletop RPG and are familiar with the books. Even more so if you were not a huge fan of the movies. Chapter XLVIII: Dwarven Diplomacy is probably my favorite strip. LXIX: New Dimensions in Storage is particularly good too.
