King of RPGs is an American graphic novel about roleplaying written by Jason Thompson and drawn by Victor Hao.
Thompson first submitted the idea to Tokyopop's Rising Stars of Manga contest in 2004, and was inspired by Hikaru no Go and Knights of the Dinner Table.
[1] Hao's artistic influences are Dragon Ball, Slam Dunk, and role-playing video games from the Super NES era.
[4] Joanna Draper Carlson compared the graphic novel with Penny Arcade and found the “zany adventure” plot "didn't work for [her]".
[6] Nick Smith, writing for ICv2, opined that it "isn't always funny" when "relatively innocent individuals" are hurt as part of the story, but praised Victor Hao's art.
