Matt Frisbee Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 Re: Order of the Stick This strip just keeps getting better -- it is so AD&D crunchy and yet has such a great plot going as well!

Lord Mhoram Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 Re: Order of the Stick Do you know what I love about the last set of strips - no Belker. I stopped reading the strip because I hated that character so much - if he was on screen I knew it would be just stupid. Once Roy is raised and we are back to the group, I'll likely stop reading again. Belker annoys me that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

death tribble Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 Re: Order of the Stick New OotS is up... ... ... ...whoa. Stick figures. And it got to us. That's good story telling. And amidst all the fun the strip gives us and all the rules and other side jokes, he puts this in. Simply wonderful. Brought a tear to the eye of this old jaded Tribble.

Michael Hopcroft Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 Re: Order of the Stick Maybe Belkar's player is the GM's girlfriend? If so, she has a heck of a low opinion of men, given that Belkar is so into whoremongering in place of an actual relationship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Frisbee Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 Re: Order of the Stick I can see Lord Mhoram's point concerning Belkar. I hated a certain person a lot while I was in the Army. This certain person loved Led Zepplin and played it (and sang along with it badly) constantly. When I got out of the Army and got back home to my collection of vinyl, I poured lighter fluid over all of my Led Zepplin albums and mentally burned the guy in effigy as the flames claimed what had been some of my favorites. It was about five years before I could stand listening to Page and company again, even on the radio. These days, I'm over it, but back then it wasn't open for discussion.
