    That was soooooo awesome.

    Also, the Ice King comes to Tarquins parties?
    Whoa.

    Fantastic. Saved by D&D rules!

    My favourite moment might have been Haley seeing Elan in the pineapple suit. Also, the Empress Princess is hilarious.

    Yes, yes, yes. That's exactly what I was thinking at the end of the first page. Maybe there will be a SSADT sequel called, eh, Staves, Rocks and Dragon Pox or something.

    Loved the story. Really high-quality stuff. :)

    The entire masquerade scene had me in stitches. Tarquin's musical references, the pineapple, the mustachioed moon right after... This was a great story for comedy.

    I loved seeing Nale in a Bizarro costume. It was my second time through before I recognized the joke. He's dressed as a twisted mockery of a twin of the hero.

    Oh, the cameos in the very first panel of the StickTale.

    • Lien is selling fish. FISH.
    • Mr. Rodriguez and Mr. Jones out of the "First, Kill Hug All Lawyers."
    • Inkyrius running a bakery, of course.
    • Fruit Pie the Sorcerer selling... well, fruits.
    • And the dirt farmers selling... well, dirt.


    Well played. So many references... And to the current events of the main comic also (I think). Which makes me think of the timing of this great release.

    Great job Rich. Makes me very happy to be a backer, and even more willing to give you my money for your amazing work, meaning that when Book 5 is out, no matter the size and price, I'll just have to buy it.

    So... typo in Act 3 scene 1? "My tum-tim knows no flags." And pretty sure in 4.2 it's supposed to be "rain death upon our enemies."

    Otherwise, so awesome.

    In any case, it was awesome. I was chuckling to outright laughing out loud through the whole thing.

    I wonder which Kobold was dressed as Zorro. I think it was Yokyok?

    Oh well, great times. I liked how Tarquin was completely off the mark about what kind of story it was.

    I've only gotten most of the way through Act 1, but I lost it at

    And, really that whole ball scene.

    I think I'm gonna be saying that all day now.

    On that note, the apathetic Xavert.

    Also it was a nice touch nobody had X's in their eyes. You remember this is a play that way.

    That's right - George R. R. Martin; a writer so ruthless, his name is a verb akin to Samuel L. Jackson. Valar morghulis.

    The wight gag got me. And Nale's costume being Bizarro. As well as V's V mask.

    And it sure was great to see V dead, even if there were no X's in the eyes.

    How come all the character's don't have X's in their eyes in this play but in the Hamlet parody they got proper X's?

    I assume this was to preserve the final joke but is there another reason?

    Wow, this PDF was fantastic! So much to discuss, so many references, and just about every panel was funny. Really loved Tarquin's lines in particular.

    I think my favorite part was V being the ultimate smartass to Nale. Dude just couldn't get a line off without it being torn apart by V.

    Also, I was really loving Tarquin's dialogue. Only time in the comic I wished there was more of him.
    Cuthalion's art is the prettiest art of all the art. Like my avatar.

    I know it expanded in the telling and probably involved some stress in getting it out, but it really looks like our author was having so much fun writing this story. Respectful but not reverential to the source material (SO nice to see a decent answer to the "what satisfaction canst thou have tonight?" come-on), stuffed with a whole ton of in-jokes and shout-outs that nevertheless don't derail or distract from the main plot, and a more light-hearted script and story than has been the fare in the main comic of late.

    Mr. Burlew, I really hope that you enjoyed writing this as much as we've all enjoyed reading it.

    Please help me fill in the blanks:

    Gourntonk, Amun-Zora, (1), (2);
    Kilkil, Z, Mr. Jones, Leeky Windstaff, Xykon (as Skeletor!);

    Ioun Stone Lady, Pompey, Tiger Lady(?), Hilgya's Husband, Hank, Celia, V;
    Malack, Miron, Yikyik, (7), Gannji.
    I don't know who number 3 is, but it could simply be a reference to mr Rodriguez' comment "I am a very generous lover" in 734
    Number 4 is "Shoulder pad guy" from Tarquin's and Malack's old advenuring group.
    Number 5. No idea. Do we know of anyone with a navel piercing? The only one I found is in 676, but she has the wrong hair colour.
    Number 7. Looks like the sound technician wizard from the arena. 776.

    Furthermore, I think the ones you have called "Azurite burglar" and "Hilgya's husband" are actually the assassins from the "Weary travelers inn and tavern", 225 and following.
