It has all sorts of crazy external powers, I'm willing to believe it has a very powerful digestive tract until Rich tells me otherwise.

Yeah as much as I would like more strips, I'm not going to Begrudge him the time between strips. Dude has spread himself pretty thin, and I know the guy is working hard so I'll be a patient little stick-er.

Has anyone done the math to figure out about how much profit he's made off Kickstarter? I'm really curious after taxes and estimated printing fees. I just got my Print Only Special in the mail and I'm really enjoying it so far. The Origin of PC's was pretty bland at first but it picked up by the end, and Start of Darkness is amazing

For me the only stuff that stands out in Origin of PCs is the stuff with Roy and his dad, who still remains the best character in the strip. Of course Start of Darkness had him in a bit too.

I don't think it's actually going to be that much. I got the impression from his updates that most of that will go into materials or upgrading the servers, and a lot of the rest will be reserved for other projects, like the 5th compilation.

True - though he also has a bunch of books now printed and ready to sell through normal channels, which will presumably be pure profit. I'm sure he's worked the numbers very carefully, he seems to be almost pathologically prudent. I think the thing that makes me happiest is that he seems to have realised how many sane and kind fans he has, instead of just the sperglords and crumpetheads on his forums. The OOTS Kickstarter backer forums are just adorable to read.

Colon V posted:Rich himself mentioned that he used to picture his fandom as basically being the people on his forums, and was completely blown away by how much of a "silent majority" there was that never touched the GiantITP forums, and was willing to not only support him, but also throw frankly absurd amounts of money at him. Yyyyes the kind of people who post on the GITP forums always end up alienated from the entire rest of society. Sometimes they do it to others and sometimes others do it to them, but it always happens.

Why would you post that garbage. I've never seen someone draw so much unnecessary gore on a page and still have it seem utterly lifeless. What the hell is even happening there? An Albino midget Rastafarian is attacking a large pincushion, but then it's a guy with weird goo hair with an ax who kills everyone to show how bad rear end he is? VVV I know Golbins well enough to know that every page has as much bloody dismemberment as the author can finish drawing before ejaculating in his pants and passing out on a given day. The question is why is it here in a thread about a good comic. Cuchulain fucked around with this message at 10:30 on Jul 17, 2012 |

If you think that's a lot of unnecessary gore you don't know Goblins very well, but otherwise, spot-on assessment.

My Lovely Horse posted:If you think that's a lot of unnecessary gore you don't know Goblins very well, but otherwise, spot-on assessment. The worst thing is that as far as Goblins go, this is a good page. The action can be followed, the panels aren't crushed by walls of  that even Tim Buckley would find long-winded, and there is something vaguely approaching humor in the anticlimax of the white goblin's heroic destiny speech contrasted to his quick and forgettable death.It still is a terrible page by any other standard.

Rastagoblin makes heroic speech and jumps to attack goofy blue monster. Jello orc intercepts Rastagoblin's jump and kills him. Then he kills another fleeing goblin, and in the last panel notices the smell of bullshit that pervades the entire comic.

Is that what happened? I read the start of goblins and I have no idea what I'm looking at, at all. Should have posted Erfworld instead. Easier to comfortably mock.

^^^^^^ Erfworld easier to mock than that abortion? Are you serious? What I find kind of amazing is that the panels with the slimy orc have some proper action lines so you have an idea of how he's moving, but both Rastagoblin and the two Runningawaygoblins are completely devoid of them, as a result looking frozen in time. How do you forget such a basic thing from one panel to the next? Sorry for continuing this derail, but I can't quite come up with a replacement incantation to summon Rich. "Screw you Kickstarter buyers I want my new page" is probably a bit too [Evil]. NihilCredo fucked around with this message at 14:23 on Jul 17, 2012 |

I'm sorry for posting Goblins here. Now I see that I crossed the line and feel ashamed. I really do! Let's keep this thread dedicated to Order of the Stick so that nobody needs to feel uncomfortable, okay? So... what are your favourite OOTS erotic fanfic stories? I reckon user Sereg5 is pretty good, I wonder if Rich knows of him or ever considered offering some of these as Kickstarter incentives? quote:Safeword by Sereg5 Nooo don't stop yet

I read Erfworld up to Chapter 163 since it was conveniently hosted on the GiTP website up to that point, but stopped following it when it moved to its own website. I'd be sincerely interested in finding out from the experts as to what is terrible about Erfworld, since I merely found it dull when I was still reading it.

I'd be sincerely interested in finding out from the experts as to what is terrible about Erfworld, since I merely found it dull when I was still reading it. For me, Erfworld pretty much just slid down a slope of complete and utter boredom. The primary reasons for this were the numerous text updates about boring characters that had no real impact on the story at hand, or lengthy exposition about how some other ancillary trait of the setting worked. Take today's update: there's a 262 word footnote about how to play a made up card game. That's boring.

Whatever it is, I'm glad to see Roy's tactical prowess coming into play. Setting ambushes and using the enemy's skills against him is a good start to a conflict.
