Re: OOTS By Page Count
I think 734 marks a logical chapter break.

Re: OOTS By Page Count
Not so much a cliffhanger, but that we as an audience don't have to see the resolution of this scene. It works just as well to come back on them sometime later, with the tension here unresolved, but hanging over everything like an ever present cloud.
As for why now? Well, the characters have been introduced, the tension between Belkar and the HPoH has been established, and we now have the ship headed toward a new, unplanned, destination. Furthermore, the verbal battles between the HPoH and Durkon have also been established, as has Roy's central dilemma.
In short, the book has passed the Introduction stage. At least that's how it feels to me.
We could see the voyage to Tinkertown, sure. Or we could just cut to their arrival. Or perhaps just before they arrive.
IF Rich is planning a cut, then, as I said, this seems like a natural cutting point to me. Again, at least possibly. The 'camera' moves on to another group of characters, and then when we return to Team OotS, it is as they are approaching Tinkertown.
....
Or not. We saw the caravan trek through the desert after all. OTOH, that was livened up by first a random encounter and then a nice Dune parody. Here, with them in the skies, I'm not sure if that is really in the cards.
I'm most likely wrong here. But this is the first time I think we might have a potential scene break, and thus I commented on it.Last edited by Porthos; 2014-07-06 at 02:55 AM.

Re: OOTS By Page Count
The finishing of the Ultimate Book Tournament, plus a couple of other disucssions on this board broke me in the last couple of weeks.
Honestly though, it was already hanging by a thread for months. I think stubborness kept it up to a degree. In the end though, the F-it gene kicked it.
So it goes, as they say.Last edited by Porthos; 2014-08-13 at 02:17 PM.

Re: OOTS By Page Count
Porthos, beneath the "stat block" you write "56 [or some other number] pages to go until Book 6 is equal to the size of On the Origin of PCs."
Can you please explain how that number 56 is calculated? I'm not seeing it. At the moment, Book 6 has 16 "pages, " while OtOOPCs has 122.5. This suggests 122.6 - 16 = 106.5 pages to go, yes?

Re: OOTS By Page Count
We have two guesses so far, both at 368 pages. For the same reason as well, I suspect.
Still, Rich might just surprise us. So if anyone else wants to chime in, better do it PDQ.Concluded: The Stick Awards II: Second Edition

I actually think BRitF will have less extra pages than normal. Put me down for... let's say 362 pages total.

Re: OOTS By Page Count
A useless measure, but not counting Book 6 because it's not print yet, all of the print books (plus kickstarter PDF stories) total at the moment 1683 pages of content.
Book 6 brings us over 1700 so far - to 1706 pages and running.
Just in case that's ever of interest.

Re: OOTS By Page Count
For the record, I'm including Quoth the Familiar and Durkon Turned Undead in the "Bonus Strips" section for now. I might shift one or both of them into "Other Xtras" depending on how they look in the book. Leaning toward keeping QtF in Bonus and sliding DTU into Other Xtras. As said, it'll all depend on how it plays out.
As an example, there was an out-of-continuity promotional strip designed to cater to store owners in No Cure for the Paladin Blues. That currently is under "Other Xtras" in the Advanced Block chart. The little vignettes sprinkled throughout Don't Split the Party are also in the "Other Xtras" section for that matter.
Might simply come down to an issue of continuity to me. Yes, continuity is somewhat flexible when it comes to OOTS (and it's particularly thrown out the window in SS&DT). But I gots to draw the line somewheres.Last edited by Porthos; 2014-10-20 at 06:22 PM.
