Hooray! Go Rich!

(And Pozo!)

Awesome! Congrats to Rich, and to Paizo!

Just found OotS recently. Ok, like within the last few days. Yeah for Rich!

Wow... how did you keep this under the radar for so long?

This will mark a new age for Dragon Magazine. In years to come, people will ask "What was the first issue with Order of the Stick?"

How much space is given for the strip? Will it be a single strip like Mt Zogon, or a full page?

It's good to see someone with the publishing skills can help Rich with the logistics nightmare he had with the first book. I can spend my money with confidence with future releases. Will Paizo.com's store sell some of the other OotS swag, such as the buttons and shirts? ::big smile of hope::

It's good to see Order of the Stick finally reached a high enough level to attain the Feat: Negotiate Publishing Deal :D
Well done!

This is excellent news - I love OotS! :-D

Glee!

Where's my credit card?

*does the happy dance*

Boo-yah!!

No more shall we lack the Stick! Yessssssssssss!

*explodes in glee*

I just pre-ordered both books. :)

I second a previous question: will Paizo be carrying the mugs, shirts, and other stuff with OOTS on them?

Excellent, I love OOTS!

Congo-Rats... Piazo & Rich Burlew, on bringing OOTS to the magazine.

Glad to see y'all are as excited as we are to have Rich working with us! We plan to offer a whole array of OOTS merchandise in the future, so stay tuned! I'll let you in on it as it develops.

I never knew that Rich Burlew was runner-up at the setting search.
Is there any information on what he submitted?
I thought 'Dawnforge' was second in the contest...

Wizards.com interview with Rich during the setting search process

Sadly, though, the only ones who know about the setting are Rich and the folks at WotC who have read it. WotC bought it - for $10,000! - and Rich signed an NDA on it.

I too am pleased to hear this announcement.

Shameless bump for people who haven't seen this yet.

Given that they have been pretty adamant that they are only going to support two settings at a time, and they don't seem too keen on leaving either Eberron or Forgotten Realms in the dust, if they do realease the other two settings it is likely to be as one shot Campaign Options much like Ghostwalk, or else the might use peices of the campaign settings (i.e. character races, classes, prestige classes, or even magic systems) in other core products.

i was wondering when they'd do that.
OOTS is just too funny.

At last!

Go Paizo, Go Lisa!

I'm glad Rich can get back to what he's good at.

looks for pre-order button

Anyway, this is awesome. Congratulations to Rich Burlew and Paizo - I look forward to more OotS comics and a magazine that's better for it.

Will these books be available through Diamond as the Dragon Compendium was offered? I prefer to buy my books through my comic dealer.

Thanks
Chris

OotS.....Never heard of it.

Aberzombie, not sure if you were joking but if not you should not be denied the pleasure of http://www.giantitp.com/cgi-bin/GiantITP/ootscript?SK=1

Congrats to Rich and Paizo!

OOTS is very funny stuff, and a good number of the rules articles Rich has over at his site a pretty good too.

Already have his first book, and just pre-ordered the second one. Heck, while I was at it, all of this joy encouraged me to get a Dragon subscription again.

OOTS is required reading for rules lawyers and those who dislike rules lawyers.

Cool! OoTS is the kind of gaming humor I like: funny, and no cheap shots at gamers. I don't like laughing at myself or my friends, dangit.

I hope OoTS will be in Dragon a long, long time.

I just posted a quick review of "The Order of the Stick: Dungeon Crawlin' Fools" in the Paizo store. I bought it from Rich when it first came out, and I really enjoyed it. If you don't know about his work, head over to his site.

Excellent news! People been harping for that strip for a long time now. Usually a strip gets popular in the Paizo pages FIRST, then goes on its own, this is role reversal indeed.

w00t! That's awesome! Go Rich!

Ummm, there will still be new strips on-line 3x week after it gets published in Dragon, right?
