Aaron Williams is a pedigreed gamer geek with no less than four comics to his name: Nodwick, a fantasy jaunt that pokes fun at RPG conventions; Backward Compatible, a comic about life at a gaming magazine; PS238, positing a high school filled with superpowered kids; and Full Frontal Nerdity, which takes a look at the other side of the gaming table.

FFN gets some Massively love here for its LotRO reference, and how important loot balance is to an MMO.
