there may be something for being too genre savvy....

Re: The OotS thread
I wonder how much of that was true...
Me: Nope, that's why I have you around to tell me.
Nitram: You -are- beautiful. Anyone tries to tell you otherwise kill them.

Re: The OotS thread
My guess: It's mostly or even all technically true, he just left out certain important parts and phrased things to make Dad look good. Note that he avoids saying why Elan's mother initiated the breakup, or that he's Lawful Evil. And that "I was so tired of fighting that I agreed" could easily mean "what with that paladin chasing me three days straight".LadyTevar wrote:I wonder how much of that was true...

The other, of course, involves orcs." - John Rogers

752 is up
The Oots art work just makes Haley look wierd in this one.
Not what I was expecting to happen next anyway.
I'm sure Elan will be able to 'shove some more in' the romantic devil

Re: The OotS thread
Well that just took a turn to the hella weird. Presumably most of that hair is going to go again by next issue.
I liked short hair Haley
edit: Was there a lot of discussion on OotS forums on the meaning of Haley's hair that Burlew just had to joss or something?

Re: The OotS thread
I suspect Hailey's hair will be cleaned up after this, and will be a short cut again, just not as 'young boy' as before.
After all, short hair is useful in the kind of Climate they are in.
Plus, now they have all that extra hair to make rope out of.

I have to say that partial nudity was not at all what I expected from Order of the Stick.
I usually read Keychain of Creation for that.

The author also happens to be a fan of 4chan's /tg/ board and visits Keychain threads posted there once in awhile - he's gone so far as to draw quick not-safe-for-work pics of several of the characters for that board in the past.
He also has run a few quests on Questchan, which tend to involve at least partial nudity.

Re: The OotS thread
Burlew has done a bit of "fanservice" with Haley before, at least in the print books. I'm pretty sure that the non-eroticism of it is the joke.Molyneux wrote:I have to say that partial nudity was not at all what I expected from Order of the Stick.

Also, given the only other member of Elan's family they've met is NALE, I doubt they'd be eager to get familiar with his father.

How the hell is that Dragon flying? There is no way a Zepplin has that much lift!
Or, how powerful was the wizard that cast levitate on her?

It's yet another rules joke. Dragons can fly with their wings, even in an antimagic field and even though it violates the laws of physics. They. Just. Can.Solauren wrote:How the hell is that Dragon flying? There is no way a Zepplin has that much lift!

No dragons as depicted could actually fly, this one just looks overtly sillier.

However, I agree with the general statement that dragons as depicted couldn't actually fly.
At least not without some absolutely wild internal structural changes.
