Book 6 is now 21 pages from matching Don't Split the Party, and 37 pages until equaling War & XPs.
Fourth longest. It's still well short of Blood Runs in the Family at 368, War and XPs at 288 and Don't Split the Party at 272.
Second-longest in terms of online page count, which is the most comparable metric. The number of bonus/extra strips/pages per book seems pretty consistent.
Yup - even if the most recent strip was the last strip of the book (probably not, since every time a book's ended, there's been some kind of acknowledgement), and even if it had as few pages of bonus strips, commentary, and so on, as Dungeon Crawlin' Fools, it would still be the second longest. 252+37.5 = 289.5.
Yeah, my guess is that at this point as a bare minimum if the book were to close right here it would have 288 pages (multiples of 16 has yet to fail, although it's certainly not a given), so I think it's pretty reasonable to assume that it'll wind up somewhere between BRitF and W&XP at least.

Despite of what Rich said before, sixth book seems getting awfully close to be long as BRitF. Only 65 pages left.
He also said he'd get the story done in the next two books, even if that meant they were 'phone book' sized.
He lives (or lived, if he moved again) in Philadelphia. Check out the size of those phone books to get an idea of what he was visualizing...

When BRITF was at the same online-page-count length as Book 6 currently is, it was when the Order were fighting the silicon elemental, right before Tarquin showed up with his army.
So that suggests that either there’s at least one major plot event/conflict lefts before this book winds down and Book 6 will be a similar length to BRITF, or that something unexpected will happen to quickly deal with the threat of Gonyor-vampire and this book will be shorter than BRITF.
Personally, I’d expect this book to be shorter, and Gontor to be relatively easily dealt with. The tension’s winding down and it feels like we’re into the denoument.
Well, the BRITF mark is over a hundred pages out at this point. Granted, we don't know how much of that will be taken up with commentary and bonus strips, but that's still a lot of real estate.
Right, thanks. Bad math on my part.
