Get Well Wishes for the Giant

**lesser_minion** · 2012-09-20, 02:07 PM (ISO 8601)

I hope you get better soon, Giant.

**pendell** · 2012-09-20, 02:17 PM (ISO 8601)

As I said in the thread in the OOTS forum, I also hope and pray you get well and recover fully. I've waited for more than 6 years to see how OOTS turns out, I can wait awhile longer. I sincerely hope you don't push yourself on our account. I'd rather have OOTS at a slower pace than to have you hurt yourself from over-pushing.

And my best regards to Mrs. Giant who is taking such good care of him!

Respectfully,

Brian P.

How many Aid Another Schenanigans can we pull off to assist with a Heal Check to speed up the recovery?

Seriously though, hope you feel better, Mr. The Giant!

What would that look like, exactly? I mean, once you get past the bard playing an inspiring ditty, what you're left with is multiple people trying to apply gauze or shove pills down the patient's throat at the same time. And I think this is definitely one place where a natural 1 would lead to pretty dire consequences. Personally, I wouldn't want to risk it.

That's actually just what I came here to say. Well put, honigmuffin.

A natural one doesn't apply to skill checks, it just counts as a one. So that person would just be standing by holding the bandages.
(Why don't we leave it to the doctors?)

**JoshL** · 2012-09-20, 08:22 PM (ISO 8601)

Being physically unable to do your art is beyond terrible. My sympathies, and get well soon!

Nah, you have 1 person doing all the patient tending while the rest are walking around them chanting and smacking themselves in the head with a piece of wood.

Anyhow, get well Giant. I've had a similar mishap involving my foot and I know how much it sucks.

**Melayl** · 2012-09-20, 09:42 PM (ISO 8601)

Definitely don't feel like you're letting us down, Rich. The only way you could do that would be to try to rush your recovery and not take the time that you need to heal fully. We'll still be here when you're back to "normal".

Rest well and heal well. We'll send you healing wishes and prayers.

**spoonr79** · 2012-09-20, 09:44 PM (ISO 8601)

All the best wishes on your recovery! I know it will be a long, hard road. Six months ago, I severed the EPL & EPB tendons on my left hand. I had 3 months of intense physical therapy. The good news is I am now *nearly* back at 100% functionality. Just follow the doctor's orders & work at your physical therapy.

**Raz_Fox** · 2012-09-20, 11:10 PM (ISO 8601)

Take care of yourself, sir. Best wishes, and thank you for everything you've given us thus far.

**Boss_Smiley** · 2012-09-20, 11:25 PM (ISO 8601)

Best wishes Giant, hope you heal up quickly.

I'm sure I'm not alone when I say that I think OotS is amazing and that I'll be waiting for its return, however long that might be (and I'd personally rather know that you took longer to heal fully than have a handful of extra pages).

Thank you for what you've given us and what I'm sure will come once this ordeal is behind you.

**Silverraptor** · 2012-09-21, 12:40 AM (ISO 8601)

May your recovery be swift Giant!

Too bad you could get Durkon to cast Cure Serious Wounds on you.

As a Dastardly DM, I reserve the right to make natural 1 have consequences whenever
a) it advances the story, or
b) it's hilarious.

I can tell you that if my players were trying desperately to team up on healing someone, that would definitely qualify for my category b.

All joking aside, I do agree with butting out and letting Rich take the time to heal.

"Pie Jesu Domine, dona eis requiem."

*thwack!*

Hopefully in this case we don't need to sing a full-on dirge for Giant!

**Pisha** · 2012-09-21, 02:32 AM (ISO 8601)

As so many have said already...

I know exactly how frustrating it is to have sudden physical limitations prevent you from doing something you both enjoy and feel obligated to do. But. Your fans love you, not just for the entertainment you provide, but as a person. Believe me, your health and well-being are far more important than the comic (even though, yeah, we love the comic!) Please take care of yourself, take the time to heal, and don't get stressed - it doesn't help. :-)

In the meantime, know that we're sending good thoughts and positive energy your way. And if you need anything more, please ask - the power of the internet is vast, do not fear to harness it!

Surely you mean too bad he couldn't get Durkon to cast cure serious wounds on him...

**fabiob** · 2012-09-23, 07:04 PM (ISO 8601)

Hello, I registered only to wish the best for the Giant, hope your hand heals soon! Rich you're a genius! OotS is so great! Too bad I'm unemployed, otherwise I'd have contributed to the kickstarter project...

Best regards from Italy!

**Triscuitable** · 2012-09-23, 11:46 PM (ISO 8601)

I may not read OOTS (I know, heathen, right?), but I'll be damned if your website hasn't made me some great friends. Thanks a bunch, Rich. Get well soon.

**furioustjr** · 2012-09-24, 12:47 AM (ISO 8601)

I hope you're healing up well. Make sure to get plenty of rest so you'll regain more HP. We all want you up to full as soon as possible.

**Thrawn4** · 2012-09-24, 07:25 AM (ISO 8601)

Take your time to get well again, Giant! If it was necessary I would wait six years to read the best online comic again.

**crombrodin** · 2012-09-24, 08:37 PM (ISO 8601)

Just signed up for an account to say that I love Rich's comic and I wish him all the best.

Cheers, dude, and enjoy the break from drawing!

**al'raith** · 2012-09-24, 08:49 PM (ISO 8601)

Get well soon Giant! We're all rooting for ya!

**Riverdance** · 2012-09-25, 02:46 PM (ISO 8601)

Get well soon Giant! I hope you feel better soon!

**Diva De** · 2012-09-25, 03:14 PM (ISO 8601)

Dear Rich (aka the Giant),

Feel better. And don't worry about us. We won't break up with you. Honest. Especially since I just put over $200 into your kickstarter. Consider me steadfast.

All teh lubs,
Diva De

**darkerone** · 2012-09-27, 07:12 AM (ISO 8601)

I´ve been reading OotS for many years now, but never got around to joining in on the conversation. But now that our fearless guide has been injured, I had to take this (very modest) action:

GET WELL SOON!!! WE LOVE YOU!!!!!!!

No. I think Silverraptor knows exactly what he means.

**Arahigihs** · 2012-09-27, 07:22 PM (ISO 8601)

I've been reading your stuff for several years now and it took your getting hurt for me to register and join the forum. Get well soon but don't rush back so fast you can't heal properly. Where's a really good healing spell when you need one?

**SatyreIkon** · 2012-09-28, 01:56 AM (ISO 8601)

Dear Giant, no worries! You'll be fine soon. Take your time to relax and gather up some energies and be back as great as always when you're all healed up. We'll just stick around here. All the best for you and your loved ones

**WampaX** · 2012-09-28, 03:59 PM (ISO 8601)

Is there a card to sign?
Is this the card?

I will sign it thusly, as I did elsewhere.

Its tough losing an appendage.
I should know.
Best wishes and heal well.
WampaX

**The Second** · 2012-09-28, 05:02 PM (ISO 8601)

Get well soon, I'll be waiting patiently for your triumphant return.
