This comic is barely D&D related anymore

Please Rich, don't lose sight of what made OotS truly remarkable.

He hasn't. That would be the humor and storytelling, which are still going strong today.

Yes, the comic transitioned away from D&D rules-based jokes long ago. This is pretty much because it had to. There are only so many of those that you can make, and the comic would've died long before now if the Giant never shifted his focus from the way the comic was written for the first 100 strips or so, simply due to running out of material.

Instead, we're getting a well-told fantasy epic, featuring a cadre of developed characters, a lot of mystery and plot twists, a lot of humor, a near-nonexistant fourth wall, and all set in a world that still operates on D&D rules even if most of the jokes aren't about that anymore. Speaking for myself, I'll take that, thank you very much.
