Does anyone read this webcomic? I started after someone posted the Gygax tribute they did, and holy cow this is by far the best webcomic I have ever read. It is about a group of characters from an RPG that are on a quest to kill and evil lich who is out to take over the world. The best part is he skewers some of the rules from RPGs while advancing the plot in most strips.

OotS is a great webcomic. Perhaps the most surprising aspect is the amount of personality and emotion he manages to convey using little more than stick figures.

Been reading it for a long time and bought the book series as a gift both for myself and a buddy of mine to get him into the series. The compilation you can buy that has backstory on all the characters (strips that to my knowledge haven't been posted legitimately online) was a very entertaining read and complimented the existing material really well.

I've read them all. I have the first book, would like to get the rest still...

I follow it religiously, in fact I'm rather frustrated that he's really slowed down his delivery of new strips.

Another one I love is Questionable Content http://www.questionablecontent.net/

Love it.

I'm also a huge fan. Roy Greenhilt is my hero.

I've been following it for a long time as well. I still think the earlier strips are better than the later ones since they do more mocking of unusual RPG rules and customs, but it is just generally a fun read.

Big fan over here too. The earlier strips are great.

My fried the rocket scientist got two of the shirts recently, the Greenhilt one:

He loves wearing the Xykon one to work.

Oh man, I need to get some new shirts for game nights!

Heh, this reminded me of one year of football camp, I think it was junior year. Members of the defensive line and linebacker units (I roomed with the D that summer though I split practice time) found a bunch of discarded/broken hockey sticks and started walking around with them. We called ourselves the "Men of the Stick".
