The Order of the Stick
The Order of the Stick is a comedic webcomic that satirizes tabletop role-playing games and medieval fantasy. The comic is written and drawn by Rich Burlew, who illustrates the comic in a stick figure style.Taking place in a magical world that loose... ly operates by the rules of the 3.5 edition of the role-playing game Dungeons and Dragons, the comic follows the sometimes farcical exploits of six adventurers as they strive to save the world from an evil lich sorcerer. Much of the comic's humor stems from the characters' awareness of the game rules that affect their lives or from having anachronistic knowledge of modern culture. This in turn is often used by the author to parody various aspects of role-playing games and fantasy fiction. While primarily comedic in nature, The Order of the Stick features a continuing storyline serialized in one- to four-page episodes, with over 900 such episodes released so far.Although it is principally distributed online through the website Giant in the Playground, seven book collections have been published, including several print-only stories more0 comments
