So yeah, I'm catching up on this (I have a habit of reading webcomics in large chunks). I'm nearly up to date now, I've just read about Vaarsuvius and the mother black dragon. Familicide? Holy shit, did things get dark all of a sudden. Anyone else read it? |

funnily enough, I've just this very morning caught up with Goblins, a slightly odd and often gory webcomic. It starts slowly and the art style is a little odd, but it soon becomes funny and sometimes quite dark |

Order of the Stick is great...it's trailed off after the initial book as there was less and less Elan involved (although still the best of it's type on the web). As a former D&D player I find it great and of course Belkar is the best player in the piece. |

The "I GOT A 4!" gag still makes a regular appearance at our weekly gaming sessions whenever a Move Silently roll or equivalent gets blown. |

The bit just gone with Vaarsuvius and the dragon scared me, man. S/he's a stick figure, and she was scary. Now I'm up to date again, and already impatient. |

I've only read OOTS in book form when it was released as an entire edition Order Of The Stick Volume 1: Dungeon Crawlin' Fools. Has more been released or is the web site pumping out new stuff? |

There's usually 2-3 new strips a week. |

There are around 660 strips currently. Dungeon Crawlin' Fools had the first 120 (plus some stuff not online), I think. |

I think the dragon's threat to V was probably scarier. |

Order of the Stick is indeed excellent, and one of very few webcomics I still bother to check on more than once or twice a year. I never played D&D or all those rubbish spin-off computer games in the 90s either, but through context it's made clear what almost everything means, and hence is still funny and clever. I don't think it's trailed off at all, and am not that bothered about Elan - it's all about Redcloak, man. |

Have you read "Start Of Darkness", the book that explains where Redcloak and Xykon come from? It's great. |
