I tried to come up with a pun of my own but I can’t think of anything, so I’m just going to chicken out and leave.

Puns and tomfoolery aside; The artwork of 4 as she prepares to roll is very well done. You convey the character’s emotion and an interesting dynamic pose to make a memorable moment.
Agreed. I generally don’t like throwing words like “perfect” around, but it really does seem like Tim perfected his style over the many MANY years he’s being doing this thing.
Thats a goofy face someone pulls just before they’re about to roll a dice with a lot riding on it. Theyre really concentrating on the outcome theyre hoping for, in the hope that it might work. They arent concentrating on their face so they pull their mouth into a wierd shape. Theyre hunched forward invested in what theyre doing, the shoulders are tense… one more pun to appease the comedy gods…

There is a phenomenon in motorcycle racing called target fixation. Where the rider knows they need to turn, but seem unable to do so.
I definitely think we are witnessing something similar to target fixation in those last 2 panels.
I know it’s technically not D&D, but you could easily abbreviate Dungeons And Dragons to DAD, so yeah…… I’ll see myself out.

Man, brings back memories of my old gaming group. We used to go off the rails in the exact same way – one guy showing off his new swag, another accusing him of cheating, animal sacrifice and rolling poultry, and the GM not stepping in to bring people back on topic. Those were the days.

There is a point where we needed to stop and we have clearly passed it.
But let’s keep going and see what happens.
24
Let us observe the results.
Observing the results change the results.
QUANTUM ROLL.
that chicken gonna roll all nat 20 since that’s the ONLY FACE IT HAS!
There’s also it’s actual face which just has 2 eyes.
And in one facet it has a natural 1…
…. I think one could safely say that that dice actually can roll a 0…… or a * depending on how sacred it is. I’m sorry; I’ll show myself out.
That’s kind of like an inkblot test, though. For all you know, it’ll splatter in the shape of a 20.
don’t forget the big natural 0 on the opposite face…
Maybe they’ll put it on a wheel of fortune like thing, like in South Park
Agreed. Well-earned upvote.
Can imagine Tim going through the comments and either:
In case 2 he definitely would have given credit, so 1 it is
Time for a roll most fowl.
That was a poultry attempt at a pun; but a good line never the less.
You could say that they took a pot cluck here
Wish her roll the best of ‘cluck’

How would you describe this emotion?
Way less murdery than I’m used to.

The suspense is terrible… I hope it’ll last.
Being a father myself, you do realize that his entire strip has been one long Dad Joke?
Well done!
