I don't spend a lot of time browsing the Internet for entertainment. Most of my online time, if not work or school related, is limited to Facebook, Starcraft II, and Overwatch. One exception to the rule is the comic strip "The Order of the Stick" by Rich Burlew. It is some of the finest Dungeons and Dragons humor out there and has been going fairly strong for over a decade. The characters are engaging, the story is classic fantasy with plenty of twists, and the humor is spot on ("Did you hear me? I rolled a 4!" still cracks me up).
The largest frustration is that it is an ongoing story that is updated infrequently, much like any gaming campaign I've even been a part of. Still, I check almost daily to see if Rich has updated the adventure (even though he only does so about once a week now). I know that it is working towards a conclusion ... well, perhaps in another decade at this pace, and I'm eager to see what it is, but for now I just like having something to look forward to (like when I'd get comic book subscriptions through the mail).
If you're interested, it's worth it to start at the beginning:
