Inu Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 Re: Order of the Stick It's rulesy, so be prepared. Expect to spend the first game going 'huh? What do I do here?" Refer to the 'quick-start' rules a lot (wherein Belkar makes a joke about the quick-start rules being 16 pages long). Have friends who like to backstab. XD It's fun! Can definitely see the Talisman influence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teh bunneh Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 Re: Order of the Stick We have yet to finish a game. Our longest session was 6 hours, and we barely had anyone make it to the third level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cygnia Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 Re: Order of the Stick Right, I'm predicting Roy might get desperate enough to possess either Belkar or Mr. Scruffy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eternal_sage Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 Re: Order of the Stick actually, my prediction is that Celia will find out that Roy's dead, and resurrect him. but maybe not until a funny possession scene plays out. maybe even Celia.... that would be interesting....

Curufea Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Re: Order of the Stick We didn't finish - we played the short game with only three levels. There are a number of things the game suffers from - 1) Incentive to attack other players. This seems to be necessary for the game, but the rewards are fairly minor. Haley spent all her time collecting treasures I'd left behind as Vaarsuvious (fireballing things at a distance is great, but you don't get the treasure - I didn't have my raven by then either). And as you only get 1 treasure from winning an attack, there was very little way of getting enough off her to prevent her winning (we were the only players on that level of the dungeon). 2) Incentive to go down the levels. There is no real reason to explore beyond the 1st level. We just stayed there and got powerful. Plus - it's easy to get support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Hopcroft Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Re: Order of the Stick I'm beginning to wonder whether Roy will ever come back to life now. There isn't very much of him left, after all.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eternal_sage Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Re: Order of the Stick well, there are high level spells that can bring you back without need for the body at all. all is good, if they can just get their acts together (literally and figuratively) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were easily the most flexible, potentially powerful, and above all most interesting monster in the game.
