Get well Rich!

[T.D.O.W.]

Best wishes for a speedy recovery, Rich!

Thankfully my OoTS game and Sticky Shticks arrived a couple weeks
ago --- as yet unopened. So I'll have something to stave off OoTS
withdrawal until you are back in the saddle again.

Heh.

[BungleBee]

I'm very sorry for your injury! I hope it heals quickly.

[Magnera]

Rich, we all wish for the order of the stick to continue. For that to happen you must rest WELL. No pushing it like the badass characters! Fact is order of the stick is a very long term creation, thus you must know that we can wait the short term so we may enjoy the long term.

[Sarcasticles]

Take all the time you need to heal. Nerve damage isn't something to mess around with. We all know and appreciate all the hard work you've done with the kickstarter and the comic, don't let yourself get to down in the dumps. It's a true fact that optimistic patients heal faster

Also, thanks Mrs. Giant for the update, we're all thinking of you too in this difficult time.

[Forderz]

Oi! Get better!

Or not.

Whatever floats your boat.

I'm thinking its the former, though.

[Demidos]

Get well quick. We on this website all really appreciate all the work you put in to make this a reality. Thanks

[Arkylos]

Having personally stepped on a single shard of glass, I cringe at the kind of pain from an accident involving several of those nasty little things.

If only there were a cleric who could cast Heal on you right now. Get well soon Rich.

[Commander672]

Don't worry about us, we'll be fine.

We'll just take this time to come up with some really ridiculous threads here on the forum.

Feel better!

"Truly Ridiculous" is status quo around here. Without updates we're bound to develop an entire mythos based on offhand comments and Class and Geekery threads.

We tend to do that WITH updates as well.

I spent three months in a partial cast due to auto accident myself. The doctor had to fuse my right thumb's MCP joint (the joint that joins the finger or thumb to the palm of the hand). Rich, speaking from personal experience, take your time and let it heal properly.

[Nuclear Teabag]

only registered to say get well soon.

take your time getting better, I'm going to go read the archives.

[beachhead1973]

Hang tough Rich, don't worry about us, just focus on getting well.

[Nighthawk4]

Really sorry to hear you are hurt Rich.

Get well soon.

Much as we all want more OotS, please make sure you are fully healed before you resume drawing.

*casts Heal*

For all you've done, sir Burlew of Brooklyn
For the comic and the community
You have our thousand thanks
And prayers doubtless
For kicking Unwellness in the shin

[SteveDJ]

So how exactly did the Giant vs Broken Glass encounter happen? I'd like the gory juicy details and a turn by turn summary of the fight.

Well for starters -- clearly, the Glass won initiative...

uhh, I thought he lived in queens (like the location from the TV Show King of Queens).

[Diamondeye]

Get well soon, Rich!

[artstsym]

Don't worry about the comic, your fans care more that you're alright! Here's to a speedy recovery.

[19th]

get well soon! let us know if you need donations for any sort of medical bills

[Bale Fire]

Can't really say anything that hasn't already been said, but I hope you get better soon Giant. Take your time with the recovery, we can wait.

[Petey7]

Well for starters -- clearly, the Glass won initiative...

And apparently rolled a nat 20 on the first hit.


Get well Giant. As others have said, rest up and don't try to get back to work until you are sure you are ready.

[mistformsquirrl]

Having burned my hand while in the middle of an art project before... I can totally sympathize < . .> Heal up and be well Rich, don't worry, your audience will keep!

[Shale]

uhh, I thought he lived in queens (like the location from the TV Show King of Queens).

He did, now he's in Philadelphia. (An immense step up, if I do say so myself!)

[McNum]

Severed tendons? Ow... Tendons can really hurt, I hate to even think about how it feels when one is growing back together, let alone multiple.

I hope you get a fast recovery, and don't worry about us. Getting your hand working again takes priority. The last thing we want is for the injury to become permanent, after all.

Here's wishing for you getting a complete recovery. Sadly, I cannot cast Wish, so it'll have to be the boring old fashioned real world kind of wish instead.

[LadyFoxfire]

With enough money, we could kickstart a robotic hand project for The Giant... right?

Wait, I have a better idea! What we need is a mind-reading hat that transmits his artistic vision directly to his computer screen. That way he doesn't need his hands at all!

On a more serious note, as much as I love your comic, your health is more important. Take as long as you need, we'll all still be here when you come back.

Heh.

You win this thread.

[homeslice]

I hope you get well soon Rich. In the meantime, don't stress out over us.

Dear Rich

Oots is beautiful story. Thank you for the wonderful gift. I have re-read oots many times and will re-read it for the rest of my days (may they be many). I pray for your health to return. I appreciate so much all you have brought into this world through oots, through your story-craft, through the community you have built, through your willingness to keep giving while asking very little, through your deep understanding of humanity and the tool you have been so skilled at sharing your wisdom in so gentle a way.

Eustice Pious

[Asmayus]

hey, just adding my own get well wishes to all the others here. I'll miss the updates in the meantime but I'm looking forwards to what madness you think of with a 6 week break, too :)

[satorian]

Hey Rich. Get well soon! And if you need a nice meal in downtown Philly, I know a guy. Badda boom. Or some nice beer in burbs, I know a guy there, too. Badda bing.
