Line 27:
* Gimli in ''[[DM of the Rings]]'': "Who let the roleplayer into the group?". He later eased up and became more of [[The Smart Guy]].
** Also a good joker. "[[Schrodingers Cat|Am I alive or dead?]] Have I become an '''Uncertainty Lich?'''"
** From the same writer, one of the players in ''[[Chainmail Bikini (Webcomicwebcomic)|Chainmail Bikini]]'' (whose character wore the titular garment) was a very exaggerated version (later, while playing a bard, sang at the top of his lungs during a battle). Notably, while the other characters were based on the writer's own RPG experiences, the roleplayer was entirely made up.
* Gabe from ''[[Penny Arcade]]'' is a borderline Anti-Munchkin:
** "[http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2008/9/5/ What? My character has Alzheimer's!]"
Line 38:
* Tavros from ''[[Homestuck]]'' is an example of this. He picks a class that is rather ineffective in combat just because it matches his personality and interests. {{spoiler|It turns out badly for him. VERY badly}}
* Vilbert von Vampire from ''[[8-Bit Theater (Webcomic)|8-Bit Theater]]''.
* ''[[One Piece Grand Line 3 Point 5 (Webcomic)|One Piece Grand Line 3 Point 5]]'' has Natalie, who tends to go a little overboard in describing Nami's every move and thought. Gracefully.
** Luke fits to a lesser extent; while not very good at making Luffy introspective, he has a special d20 he breaks out every time he has to make a social skills role. [[Epic Fail|It has nothing but 1s on it]]. It's also noted that [[The Munchkin|Cory]] helped him design his character, but didn't help with his equipment, resulting in Luke spending most of his starting cash on the Straw Hat simply because 'it looked cool'.
* ''[[Friendship Is Dragons (Webcomic)|Friendship Is Dragons]]'': Rarity's player is highly invested in her 'social rogue's' [[Character Development]]. Fluttershy's player is also more interested in her character and the setting than the actual combat aspects of the game.
