I recommend Harry Potter and the Natural 20. I noticed a recommendation for it in a thread somewhere here, then there was another recommendation at HPMoR. It’s quite good, even if it requires an understanding of D&D.
It does not require an intimate understanding of D&D to enjoy, just in case that put you off. If you’ve never played, but you know the general idea of how the game works, then you should be okay.
Agreed. I think I might’ve appreciated the slobberworm test more if I had ever played D&D, but as it stands it doesn’t require more appreciation than, say, Dresden Codak’s ‘Dungeons & Discourse’ comic.
I have only read the first chapter, but anything that makes me go “Yes! So cool!” is starting off on the right foot :D
EDIT: Okay, a bit in—if you are particularly sensitive to Mary-Litigation, this does tread near that territory—Harry is well-characterized and interesting, but becomes a clearly supporting character, with our D&D planar expatriate winning the Initiative roll on all of the plans. On the other hand, you might simply call it munchkining.
