#1486: What is Reality?

This Comic's Storylines:

This Comic's Cast:

I've played in more than one RPG where the story ended with an "it was all a dream" ending. One time we found out it was all a holodeck simulation. Another time we woke up from the dream about half-way back in the adventure (that wasn't actually the ending, but we were all so annoyed that we said fuck it and quit).

Why do people keep thinking that doing a story that ends in "it was all a dream" is a good idea. It's a tired trope.
 
    

When evil spreads across the land, and darkness rises and the monsters roam. When the creatures of the night make beautiful music, and the things that go bump in the night go bump with greater enthusiasm. When the world is in peril and is in need of a hero...

These guys are, sadly, the best the world can hope for. These are the adventures of the heroes of CVRPG. They mean well, they try hard, and occasionally they do the impossible...

They actually do something heroic.
