Why do you read OotS?

[Jakar]

To tell you the truth, I read it for thog mainly

 

[Tsillanabor]

Characters. Really all of the above, but that isn't an option. The OoTS characters and villains (heck, even the supporting characters) should be the new Iconics whenever 4th edition rolls around.

All of the above

 

[Donovan Morningfire]

Humor mostly (not always ROFLMAO type of funny, but if I can at least crack a grin it's all good), with a 2nd place tie for Characters (Roy and Belkar) and 'cause it's D&D in 'toon form.

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." :|

You know, a lot of people complain about that happening to a lot of webcomics.

But, if it's the inevitable evolution of a webcomic, if it's going to survive. Take a look at any long-running webcomic (Something Positive, MegaTokyo and Apple Geeks are a few good examples) and you'll see the same thing... The comic begins as a series of fairly unrelated jokes, slowly develops a story line, and occasionally pops back into the random jokes, just for fun.

It's hard to keep a three-days-per-week web comic going on jokes alone. You'd use up all your good jokes real fast.

i read it b/c it is about D&D and i find it funny.

 

[Thornir Alekeg]

Started out because of the humor. Now I enjoy that and the story. And Belkar, of course.

I said "humor" but maybe I should have said "other: OotS is the frigginest awesomest comic evar!"

 

[beldar1215]

I voted for humor , but i could have voted for multiple choices as well. I really like the characters.
