Why do you read OotS?

[Doug McCrae]

What's the major appeal of the strip for you?

 

[Imperialus]

too bad there arn't multiple options. I voted story but it only narrowly edged out humor. Really I could answer all of the above though.

too bad there arn't multiple options...

Same here.
I love the story, the humor, the DnD references... everything.
But I picked humor b/c that's what drew me to it first

 

[Prince of Happiness]

Used to be for me a humorous dissection of just how silly D&D can be at times, especially with dungeons. Then it got all "storyfied." :| I suppose I check it out once in a while out of habit.

 

[Nonlethal Force]

Habit. Or at least that's what I would have liked to have answered.

I used to read it because it was D&D in comic form ... and that led to me reading it because of the characters.

Truth be known, since the whole Miko fall incident I only read because it is habit. I haven't yet been able to recover completely and get back into the characters ... but I am on the mend.

And then I would learn nothing. Nothing!

I made it single choice to try to find out the most important reason out of those listed.

I said Story, because it's what keeps me coming back when other comics have lost me. I mean, I theoretically read other webcomics that are funny, but none of them have me waiting on the next update like OOTS. Characters are sort of interwoven with Story, really, but I had to pick one.

As far as it being "D&D in comic form," somedays I almost wish that Rich never made another rules joke again. It's long since ceased being the focus of the comic, and it just gets people riled up over rules inconsistencies that he obviously doesn't care about anyway.

So now it's a humourous dissection of just how silly D&D can be at times... with a context. This is bad?

 

[frankthedm]

Humor, closely followed by the misery inflicted on the PCs.

I just love hitting "reload" and seeing it fail.
