: Re: Humor in a fantasy setting I'm creating a story based on the D&D Forgotten Realms campaign. Considering the main adversary in this case is a balor demon named Bob, an ally of the adventurers

This question made me think of the Goblins webcomic that has a very cartoony/silly approach to D&D-style fantasy, while still allowing for some interesting story-telling and character development.

Having said that, I feel that in order to find humor in the fantastical I would say finding how far you want to take that humor would be a big part of it. The Hobbit is peppered with light humor of the world and the various quirks of the characters(Especially their races.) while something like say Disc-World is humor-driven unto itself with plays on names, locations, and characters that mimic more "Serious" fantasy settings and stories.

In the end, it just depends how big a part you want humor to play in the story you are trying to tell.
