The Order of the Stick

#37: Now that's what I call a villain! ;D

[The Giant]

Thanks guys, I'm really happy with this one. You know, this whole strip started from the fact that I didn't want to have to draw the trap from #36 going off, so I tried to think of how I could cut away. So I said, "Hey, I could do another Xykon strip." And poof! Here it is.

[RawBearNYC]

Well, you could have just started the next strip with them talking about how good Roy's saving throws were :P

But what you did was cool too.

BTW, when did "Impale" become Onomatopoeia?

[The Giant]

Nice eye. Yeah, that was a little joke for myself, I didn't really expect anyone else to notice it, much less get it.

[Daveric]

I too thought Roy might have some amazing saves, and then we would se Xykon on his knees cursing some evil god and killing his servants, but the way you did it was cool.

Heh heh, Zombie ogres and 401 K plans. Heehee 8)

OOTS #37—Evil, But Cost-Effective

Dungeon ecology has always fascinated me. Here, it entertains me, too. :D

[Denbar]

"I eat you, Stinky Roy!"

Hee Hee. ;D

Somehow I picture that critter sounding like Strongbad.

Any plans for a flash OoTS ever, giant?

[WampaX]

OOTS #38—Spontaneous Artistic Expression

Oy, I've been there . . . stupid gas trap in the original Temple of Elemental Evil. ::)

[Gannes]

Reminds me of when I did a live FRPG. The description of the Paralysis spell made it so you lost the ability to voluntarily move your muscles, so your limbs remained as they were. What was often the result of this? Posable life-size lawn ornaments!!

OOTS #40—The Gods Must Be Busy

What? No Coke bottle? ;)

[Nappy]

OOTS #40 is too funny!!! I relate because I'm on the phone a lot at work!! ;D

[xthemage]

Great strip... but didn't Surtur have a flaming giant flaming sword of flaming doom that would bring flaming death to the world, which would end in flames?

[The Giant]

Dude, his head's on fire. That's as factually-accurate as this strip is likely to get. :P

[Ashlock]

Good one! Is that an archon!? :D

[The Giant]

A planetar. ;D

[RawBearNYC]

Oh....
My....
Gods....

Even the people here at work are laughing at this one. And they are barely tolerant of my Gaming Obsession. A new potential favorite for people.

[Bogotter]

Yeah this was a great strip today. Thor has long been my favorite god in any pantheon and I'm glad to see him getting some deserved attention in OoTS.

I even have a huge Thor coffee mug!

[davericsdamsel]

Thor's awesome gloves remind me to mention that I love the 'costuming".

Going back to my comment about "behind the scenes" seeing them in the makeup/costume trailer would really work too.

: )

[Riot69]

Well, well, well...

I'm from Germany and I like to thank you for this great comic, wow, the OOTS rocks!!!

They're super and you know what D&D really is

And actually I'm sorry that i can't donate you some money, cause somehow it doesn't function

*sry about my bad english*

[The Giant]

Hey Riot, thanks for the praise!

The PayPal thing requires you to sign up for their service, which may or may not be working, I suppose. If you send me a private message (see the upper right corner of the message board) with the details of what went wrong, I can try to figure it out.

And don't worry about your English...you're not the only non-native speaker here, and hey, it's the internet--half the NATIVE English speakers don't know what they're doing!! ;)

[Riot69]

Actually I think this PayPal Sytem doesn't function with my kind of Credit Card, so I can't do anything

Another question. I'm using Belkar as my Avatar in the http://www.grofafo.de, anything that speak against this usage?

[The Giant]

That's fine, you can use Belkar. He can spread his particular brand of anger across the pond!

[Elric]

WOW! I love OoTS! I just found this site the other day. I read all 40+ comics strips in two days. I laughed almost all the way through it. It's awesome. I hope to see more soon.
I love Haley, V-man and Belkar. ;D

[RawBearNYC]

Listen up, all you order of the stick fans. Rich is going to become intollerable for those of us who have to deal with him in Real Life if you keep up this ego stroking, so, cut it out!!!!

::) ;D ::)

[The Giant]

PAY NO ATTENTION TO THAT MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN!

The Great and Powerful Rich commands it!

;D

[davericsdamsel]

he can't stroke his own ego?

;)

[Jade]

he can't stroke his own ego?

;)

Not here. This is a family forum. ;)

Love the new strip, BTW. I've been wanting to blast Elan for a while now so I got some vicarious satisfaction from it :)

[Elric]

Rich is going to become intollerable for those of us who have to deal with him in Real Life if you keep up this ego stroking, so, cut it out!!!!

What is this Real Life that you speak of?
And how do I get one of my own?
Do they come with glossy pages and lots of colors?
;D

[Bogotter]

Welcome Riot69 and Elric. Glad to have you aboard.

Speaking of avatars, Riot, choose one for these boards!

[Daveric]

Nice job on the latest strip Rich (#42). ;D

I could hear the crickets on that second to last panel too. Great visual. ;D
