    Order of the Stick

    I'm SO sure this has been posted before, but couldn't find anything on the searches.

    Pretty funny stuff:

    Yeah, the Order has made its rounds before, but thats OK...
    We still love 'em.
    There are stories of faeries and banshees and the walking dead; but "the worst of them all," is the Fool of Forth, the Amadan-na-Briona, he whose stroke is, as death, incurable.
    As to the fool in this world, the pity for him is mingled with some awe, for who knows what windows may have been opened to those who are under the moon's spell, who do not give in to our limitations, are not "bound by reason to the wheel."

    Having made the rounds through here or not, I've never seen that before. Funny stuff!

    Great series. Worth buying the books, which is high praise.

    OoTS is fantastic.

    It's been quite a while since I've read it though. I need to go back in the archives sometime and read.

    Weird. I just ran across the strip a couple of weeks ago. Over a dozen of them have made me laugh out loud! Really love it.

    Re: Order of the Stick

    The last few months have been very talky & emotional (Which the Strip itself has made light of). On the other hand, the plot has really been fleshed out.

    Dragon Magazine however, has had an OOtS "pure comedy" strip in the back of each of it's issues for the last six months or so.

    One of the funniest comic strips out there. I picked up both the published books.

    And, they did make sure to mention that "[Y]es, the book contains a complete translation for all of Haley's cryptograms."

    I'll have to pick it up. I need to pick up all the KOTD Bundles of Trouble too - I want to reread some of the early stories, without risking damage to my collection.
    The PCs are rootin', tootin' kittens living in this very town who, with flamethrowers, fight the enemies of the State for electrum pieces...or so it would seem.

    Re: Order of the Stick

    I just stumbled across this webcomic yesterday. I devoured the archieve and now I want more. It reminds me of 8bit Theater a little, especially with how similar 8bit's Black Mage is with Order Of The Stick's Belkar.

    Another great fantasy webcomic (once you get into the story which takes like 10 strips or so) is Dominic Deegan Oracle For Hire. Read it now.

    We just don't understand each other. It's not you, it's the cleric and druid's ability to fill two archetypical roles simultaneously as well as those they replace. It is tearing us apart. I made you this mix tape of songs that describe exactly how I feel. Included are such tracks as "OMG I'm a Full Caster and Tank (and You Aren't), and, "People Who Aren't Like Me (Die In One Spell)" and "I'm a Giant Bear Who Casts Spells."
