OddHat Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 Re: Order of the Stick Rich seems far more respectful of the hobby he parodies than some who are in the biz. One mark of a really good parody is that it stands up as a piece of genre literature on its own. Rich is one of the few these days that meets that test.

eternal_sage Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 Re: Order of the Stick been gone for awhile. all i gotta say is never saw it coming, glad it did, and i'm STILL wishing this thing would tie back together instead of all these side quests. lol. i always hated side quests still, i am interested in what terrible thing that V will do in short order. (s)he's already well over the evil threshold. i'm waiting to see what sticks her there (or saves her from it). although part of me also doesn't care. the whole story is hitting that point where its tedious to keep up with, kinda like the middle 300 pages in the Stand by Stephen King. meh.

SteveZilla Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 Re: Order of the Stick Maybe Celia the Lawyer can find a loophole in the contract V signed, and get him out of some of the consequences... And the party in now three parts, and might be close to finally getting all back to gether -- even Roy. EDIT: And I knew that someone would make a "Darth Vaarsuvius" comment sooner or later.

Sociotard Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 Re: Order of the Stick I thought those Simon Pegg movies "Sean of the Dead", "Hot Fuzz", and "Run Fatboy Run" all met that requirement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OddHat Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 Re: Order of the Stick Yup. Nothing like min-maxing your character to full combat godhood, "tricking" the gm into going along with you, only to find that the rest of the Party can handle the adventure just fine without your new uberness.

Hugh Neilson Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 Re: Order of the Stick I'm curious where this is going to go. V's moving down a tragic path - he got what he thought he wanted, and it has, so far, cost him the family he ostensibly did this to save, and everything he thought only he and his newfound arcane power could solve has taken care of itself without him. Now, what has he sacrificed to achieve these results? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OddHat Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 Re: Order of the Stick Good to see Elan's character development remaining. Also good to see that he's being open and direct about Ninja Girl. I was worried that Rich would go the secret-that-screws-up-the-relationship direction.
