A new Order of the Stick is up: OotS 852 EDIT: I finally got to post one of these! YAY!

Hi everyone. I have a fascination with the way WOTC has handled the buildup to the release of the newest edition of D&D, and how different it is compared to how 4th edition D&D was previewed. As I recall, with 4e, both the official WOTC publicity and the public's reaction to it was quite...

Umm...Yeah. Good luck with that! Not something I would AT ALL be interested in.

"Psst! It's an art upgrade, we're supposed to pretend we were always drawn this way"

And the karmic justice has already begun... Also, there's an Egypt analogue in the OOTS world? Interesting...

So, it apparently was V's spell that did this. Although I'm still a little iffy on the timing, at least they explained about the bugs. Sort of. The question now, of course, is: Where is Girard Draketooth himself? He doesn't appear to be among the bodies (The OOTS knows what he looks like...

I cheated slightly. I went back and looked. That's a fairly important strip (for the fans, anyway) because it shows us the map of the Western Continent. And, it looks like it hasn't been as long as I thought. It could only be several weeks, although it seems like they took a long time in the...

So, just to be clear, will you be importing all the...never mind, that joke is old now. Seriously, this is great news. I had been getting into some of the other activities on the site, like Prismatic Wars and CONQUEST! (even though I got my butt kicked on the latter, thanks Orius!). Will...

I don't think so. They have been wandering around the Western Continent for some time (months) after V did his/her thing. The bodies look too fresh, especially with bugs munching on them. Besides, SOMEBODY cast the scrying eye spell thingy seen here: Giant In the Playground Games

We've done it! 1,000,000+ dollars for Order of the Stick! I can't believe how crazy us OOTS fans are. Gotta love 'em. You Rule, Rich!!!

Yes, he does, in the latest update, here: The Order of the Stick Reprint Drive by Rich Burlew Updates — Kickstarter

I voted neutral. I like what they are currently saying. I am extremely skeptical about them actually DOING it (or at least, doing it RIGHT). I'll wait and see.

Quick anecdote: I gave my nephew a copy of the 4e Red Box for his birthday. We played through it and had fun. Today, the only part of it he continues to use is...the box. He uses it to store stuff unrelated to gaming. The contents, I assume, have long since been thrown away. :.-(

I like the subtle foreshadowing in the fifth panel.

Interesting idea for discussion! I'll throw in a couple of pieces to add to the mix. When I read through the early Dragons/Strategic Reviews (as well as other material from the period) the distinction you point out is more nuanced than you state. It seems that (at least at first) there was a...

I like a lot of the fictional deities that D&D and other FRPGs have come up with. I am especially drawn to the ones that "accidentally" became deities. For example: Cayden Cailean from Pathfinder's World of Golarian, or Benekander from D&D's Mystara. Cayden Cailean is especially fun: "I...

Hmmm...Maybe I should report this flagrantly off-topic post to the owner of the website. Oh, wait... ;) Logged in and "liked" as requested.

Ah, yes! Wonderful stories of gamers gone horribly wrong.

We will often go through an area, killing the monsters, but deliberately NOT looting. The idea is, first we clear an area of immediate threats, than loot at our leisure. Most of the time it works. One time, however, there was the big door at the end of the corridor. We thought we should just...

One of the most TOTALLY AWESOME movies of the 80's is getting a licensed RPG: Buckaroo Banzai is back!
