Ah, the Order of the Stick, the webcomic about ridiculous stick figures in a fantasy roleplaying game world. But ever since you started reading it, your head has been filled with questions. How the Order of the Stick met? Why on earth Roy would ever hire Elan? Did any of the OOTSers know each other before the team formed? All of these questions and many others have been left annoyingly unanswered in the online edition of the OOTS comic.
But wait! Now you can know! Now your burning curiosity that borders on unhealthy obsession can at last be sated, for the new OOTS book is here—and it's a prequel!
Yes, travel back with Rich Burlew, creator of the popular gaming comic, The Order of the Stick, as he unearths the secret origins of your favorite adventurers in the first all-new never-posted-on-the-internet version of OOTS. In The Order of the Stick: On the Origin of PCs, you'll discover the answers to all of the following questions:
• How did Haley leave the employ of the Thieves' Guild?
• Why was Durkon sent into human lands by the high priest of Thor?
• What was Roy like in Fighter College?
• What ever happened to Elan's last employer?
• What does Belkar really think of the Monk class?
• Why DO they call themselves the "Order of the Stick"? (No, for real this time.)
Presented in 72 glossy pages of glorious black-and-white art (for that nostalgic "old movie" feel), the book also features a preface by Redcloak the Goblin Cleric. The Order of the Stick: On the Origin of PCs will retail for just $13.95 and is a must for any fan of the comic series. Well, any fan who doesn't want to be kept up nights worrying about the horrible, horrible truth about their favorite characters. Trust us—your sanity practically DEMANDS you own this book!
Release Date: Late October 2005. However, GITP Games will have 1000 special advance copies available at their booth at GenCon Indy, August 18-21 in Indianapolis, IN. Buy enough for all your friends, or just get one for yourself and lord it over them for a few months.
