in the last strip(s) of the comic, we back up to see an in-comic characterization of Rich Berlew himself DMing a game with the people who have been playing the characters of the order. Roy is the guy that made a character like himself, Haley is actually a guy, Elan is actually a girl, Durkon I’m not so sure about, V is actually played by a pair of twins (a boy and a girl naturally) and Belkar (was) a hyperactive 12 year old who got kicked out of the game because he refused to behave.
