A 6 panel black, white, and grey comic set in a cubicle and featuring a man in a suit (manager) and a man with glasses, long hair, and a beard (Programmer). Panel 1. Programmer is sitting at his desk which has a computer monitor on it as well as a potted plant and a 20 sided die. Manager enters. Manager, cheerily: Hey, how would you like to take on a new cutting edge project? Programmer: No can do. I rolled a 1 today. Manager: ...what? Programmer: Programmers run on RPG rules. As you can see, today I rolled a 1. You'll have to find someone else. Panel 2. We cut to a close up, top down view of the die on the desk, showing a 1. There are cut outs showing Manager and Programmer in the top right and bottom left panels respectively. Manager, skeptical: This sounds like a ploy to avoid work. Programmer: Noooo. This has nothing to do with the project requirements being an unhinged nightmare. Panel 3. Cut back out to Manager and Programmer. Manager, cheerily: Well, it's a good thing I took the Inspiring Manager feat which gives you advantage on your check. Panel 4. Close up on Manager and Programmer's faces. Manager glares knowingly while Programmer looks surprised. Manager: Roll it again. Panel 5. But back to the top down view of the desk. This time the die has rolled a 20. Manager: Ha ha! A natural 20! I knew you had it in you! Programmer, distressed: Oh no. Panel 6. Manager is leaving looking pleased while Programmer has lifted the die and is glaring at it. Manager: That means you'll have it done by end of day! Programmer, angrily: Traitor!
