Re: OOTS Kickstarter Bonus PDFs: The Discussion Thread *Unmarked spoilers*
All I have to say is that there were some fantastic one-liners.
Also, V is one of my favorite characters, and I loved how he would wax poetic about stat and rule blocks.Last edited by Thomar_of_Uointer; 2013-08-16 at 01:18 AM.
I make games.
"...I worry that modern gaming is gradually shrinking the wide spectrum of gameplay mechanics into a single narrow red bar with "KILL" written on it sideways. Exploration, navigation, puzzles, platforming, all gradually shrinking away until only one thing remains, being taken by the hand from room to room, moving on only when nothing remains alive in each one." - Yhatzee Crosshaw

Re: OOTS Kickstarter Bonus PDFs: The Discussion Thread *Unmarked spoilers*
I'm 21 and I got the references, and I'm still laughing hysterically whenever I think of them (heheh, Funkytown).
Edit: Oh, and of course, I loved the references in the dance-hall panel. Ice King made me laugh, and all the attention to detail with the minor characters was amazing.Last edited by Thokk_Smash; 2013-08-16 at 01:53 AM.

Yes, she does--you get a glimpse of it when Elan and her are making out in the Azure City tower just before separating:

Re: OOTS Kickstarter Bonus PDFs: The Discussion Thread *Unmarked spoilers*
It hasn't been mentioned yet, but I think the girl next to to the Shadowdancer is Samantha.
[EDIT]
Nevermind, that isn't Sam. While their hairstyles are similar, they don't match to that extent to be the same.

Also my favorite:
"You - elf!"
"You - baboon!"

Re: OOTS Kickstarter Bonus PDFs: The Discussion Thread *Unmarked spoilers*
Fantastic.
The first line that got a proper guffaw from me was "Father! ... Stepmother!" Hilarious that Sabine being married to Tarquin evidently hasn't changed the dynamic between her and Nybalt at all ... evil incarnation of illicit sex and all that, I suppose.
Vaarcutio's take on the Queen Mab speech was brilliant.

Good job! I think this one was actually better than the ones in Snips, Snails, and Dragon Tales.

Act 2, Scene 5 - Julelan not reacting until Nurse Banjo got back to his room to tell him the news: that broke my head.
Wonderful stuff!The Giant
There are no mistakes, because there are no rules. NONE. No, not even that one.

Re: OOTS Kickstarter Bonus PDFs: The Discussion Thread *Unmarked spoilers*
Ow.
I'm a fan of D&D and Order of the Stick and I don't appreciate characters interacting with their world? You wound me, sir.
Seriously, I get that My Little Pony is actually good TV. I acknowledge that it is well-written and well executed, I just can't seem to see it as more than a "well-written kids show", despite having been introduced to it by adult friends on two separate occasions. It seems, to me, like something I'd be happy to watch with my hypothetical child if they wanted (to contrast with certain other kids shows, which make me want to throw the TV out the window), but it doesn't quite grab me enough to start watching it for its own sake.
(The Franchise Mining crack was directed more at the executives than the fans because, let's face it, however well the show turned out, it sprang from the basest of origins: Cartoon Network wanted to trade on an existing name. It's just lucky that Lauren Faust is good enough at her job to actually take that ball and make something decent out of it.)
Anyway, I apologize for awkward and silly jokes that caused offense.
Anyway, I think some of my favorite bits on Haleo and Julielan are where things get massively condensed. Like that entire scene that gets rendered as Julelan going "Squeeeeeeeeee!"
The running gag with Ian and the Shakespeare puns was delightfully painful in the way that only excessive yet skilled puns can be. (That last sentence is supposed to be a compliment, if it's unclear.)
I wish I DM'd. I'd totally have my characters encounter Queen Mab.
Vaarcutio was a really nice touch, letting Vaarsuvius trade on his own brand of dismissive sarcasm instead of his intellect and over-education (which are the schticks he played up in other Stick Tales). The "ephemeral and mystically-bankrupt" exchange was hilarious.
I also like Celia stepping out of her element and actually being enthusiastically on board with all the stealing.

Re: OOTS Kickstarter Bonus PDFs: The Discussion Thread *Unmarked spoilers*
I feel the same way about Adventure Time (I'm also not a fan of My Little Pony). I like it because it seems like a return to the shows that were on Cartoon Network when I was a kids (Courage the Cowardly Dog, Rocko's Modern Life, etc.), but not enough to watch it on my own. My friends and brother are both fans, and I will say that perhaps they enjoy it while under the influence of certain controlled substances.
But! I reread the comic, and it's soooo good. I think my favorite joke was the one about kissing by the book, because of course Elan reads Seventeenth Century. I really appreciated the gender-swap and all the little details (I only noticed that Haley has the Rosaline diamond in the last panel on my second readthrough), including the cameos and puns. Casting V as Mercutio was a stroke of genius.
I'm seriously considering getting SS&DT, now. Gotta love the Stickspeare.

Re: OOTS Kickstarter Bonus PDFs: The Discussion Thread *Unmarked spoilers*
Y'see, I read that line as referring to the other parts of his standard-continuity party (ie Miron Shewdanker, Malack, Ioun Stone Lady, Shoulder Pad Guy, and Catgirl) and that the party was an extended metaphor/parallel to the main continuity political shell game Tarquin's running.
Also, is the tapestry that Haleo was hiding behind supposed to be a reference to something? It looks like it should be? Maybe one of the various movie versions of R&J or something?

Re: OOTS Kickstarter Bonus PDFs: The Discussion Thread *Unmarked spoilers*
I do not know how large the Pony-fan - Adventure Time fan overlap is, it does not include me. The overlap of Shakespeare fans with Adventure Time fans is where its at.
As for the show - it is definitely not for everyone. I say try it. If you like it, you now have hours of enjoyable viewing, if you don't, oh well, no harm no foul.
All numbers are grammatically correct

Re: OOTS Kickstarter Bonus PDFs: The Discussion Thread *Unmarked spoilers*
Great! I loved V, I'm glad you guys caught Wanda and Stanley because I missed it, and the tomb encounters were unexpected and hilarious. I also liked the one-panel-act jokes.

Re: OOTS Kickstarter Bonus PDFs: The Discussion Thread *Unmarked spoilers*
Rich, if you ever decide to do art corrections on this for a future version, it looks like the Rosaline diamond is floating in mid-air near Sabine's neck on Page 8, Panel 4. The necklace that the diamond had been on is missing there.

Re: OOTS Kickstarter Bonus PDFs: The Discussion Thread *Unmarked spoilers*
You know, as epic and funny as the main plot is, sometimes it's nice to just read something that's 100% humor and no plot. And this is probably one of the funniest things Rich has ever written. And this is coming from someone who hasn't even read Romeo & Juliet.
Well done, Rich. Really well done.I won a thread. Am I pathetic to list that in my signture? Yes. Of course I am.

Re: OOTS Kickstarter Bonus PDFs: The Discussion Thread *Unmarked spoilers*
Weren't these originally gonna be like 10 pages each? I feel like that was mentioned somewhere.
So when I first saw the page count, my eyes bugged out in happiness. And it was great!!

Re: OOTS Kickstarter Bonus PDFs: The Discussion Thread *Unmarked spoilers*
Question about the whole not sharing thing: am I allowed to let my little brother read the copy I printed out for myself, since we live in the same house and all (and my other brother *did* participate in the Kickstarter), or do I have to hide it in my room or something?

Re: OOTS Kickstarter Bonus PDFs: The Discussion Thread *Unmarked spoilers*
I'd consider it the same as for a book you buy. If someone's in your house reading it that's fine, but using a copier and giving a full copy is not. Digital presents interesting challenges from the ease of copying; pretend it's a hard copy you bought and you'll be fine. Just don't print more than one or give it away.
