FoxTrot by Bill Amend - "Dungeon Crawler" published November 11, 2018 - Jason says: I think I may actually be teamed up with the worst Warquest players in the history of the game. Jason says: The healer isn't healing... The tank keeps getting lost and dying... And my Shaman is doing the most damage of anyone. My SHAMAN! We could literally be stuck on this first boss fight for the entire rest of the day. Peter says: Why don't you just quit? Jason says: Are you kidding? This is great! Andy says: Jason, don't forget I asked you to clean up your room today! Peter says: Ah. Jason says: You said I could finish this Dungeon first, mom!

FoxTrot by Bill Amend - "Dim City" published July 22, 2018 - Peter says: What're you dweebs giggling about? Jason says: We're coming up with ideas for video games. One hundred lawyers are dropped onto an island. Only one can win the lawsuit... Marcus says: "Tortnite!" Jason says: Wordlessly pretend to build things while wearing face paint and a striped shirt... Marcus says: "Mimecraft!" Jason says: Futuristic teams battle for control of Delaware's state capital... Marcus says: "Doverwatch!" Peter says: You know, usually people giggle when things are FUNNY. Jason says: Construct a metropolis populated solely with clones of Peter Fox... Marcus says: "Dim City!"

FoxTrot by Bill Amend - "Questioned To Death" published April 8, 2018 - Jason says: As you enter the chamber, you come face-to-face with a 50' tall Balrog wielding a 10; flaming sword! Marcus says: Yikes! My archer readies his bow! How far away is the Balrog? Jason says: 30 feet. Marcus says: Is the floor level? Jason says: Yeah. Marcus says: Are we below ground? What's the barometric pressure? Do the flames from the Balrog create an sort of updraft? What's the humidity? Does the air feel damp or dry? Any particulate matter? Dust? Mold? Pollen? What's the acceleration due to gravity on this world? 9.8 m/s²? What about the coriolis forces? I assume this planet rotates. Jason says: ...And the Balrog dies of old age. Marcus says: Woohoo! Any good loot?

FoxTrot by Bill Amend - "Loot Boxing" published March 4, 2018 - Jason says: Want to buy a "Jason Fox Loot Box"? Peter says: A what? Jason says: In case you aren't aware, loot boxes are the big new trend in video games these days. Players can earn or buy them for a chance at winning cool in-game enhancements and gear. What I've done is create the world's first universal loot boxes! They can be used with any game to get any item! Peter says: How's the work? Jason says: My boxes contain either a zero or a one. Accumulate enough and put them in the right order, and any digital prize in the universe is yours! At least, theoretically. I leave implementation up to the user. It's possible I misjudged demand more than a bit...

FoxTrot by Bill Amend - "Details, Details" published February 19, 2017 - Jason says: As you enter the dungeon, you see an orc centurian, napping at his post. Marcus says: My dwarf warrior attacks! Jason says: But not before the balrog hiding behind the door attacks you! Bwahaha! He slashes your dwarf with his sword, causing (roll, roll) five points of damage! Marcus says: Where does he slash him? On his back? Jason says: Probably. Marcus says: How deep is the cut? Would you see bones? Did he hit an artery? Would blood be spraying out? Jason says: Dude, it's only five hit points. Marcus says: Ok, ok, how's this look? Jason says: You know, there's such a thing as putting too much detail into your miniatures. Marcus says: Is it my dwarf's turn to attack? Let me give him scared-yet-angry eyebrows...
