The Order of the Stick is back in action (and in color!) in this second volume compiling the popular fantasy gaming satire webcomic in convenient book format. Watch in amazement as The Order of the Stick, everyone's favorite band of hopelessly incompetent adventurers, leaves the dungeon behind (probably a good idea, considering they blew it up anyway) and ventures out into the great outdoors. Thrill to encounters with bandits, dragons, assassins, and perhaps the most terrifying of all—paladins! Watch in amazement as the Order of the Stick finds itself caught between the forces of Good and Less-Than-Good as their stupid little adventure turns into a stupid epic adventure to save their very world!

What's in No Cure for the Paladin Blues, you ask?

• A hefty 244 pages of full color comedy; that's a full half-inch thick!
• Printed on high-quality paper to ensure your book lasts longer than the current edition of the rules it satirizes.
• Enjoy 14 all-new bonus strips that fit in (mostly) seamlessly with the existing story.
• Skip past more than 12 pages of self-absorbed author commentary.
• Foreward by Scott Kurtz, creator of the webcomic PVP.
• Preface by Vaarsuvius, elven wizard.
• A detailed recap of the events of Dungeon Crawlin' Fools by Elan the Bard.
• And yes, the book contains translations for Haley's cryptograms.

Six brave stick-figure adventurers embark on a semi-epic journey to overcome hardship, villainy, and the rules of their favorite fantasy roleplaying game in The Order of the Stick.

And now you can own the first 121 strips of Rich Burlew’s ridiculously popular webcomic epic in easy-to-read-in-the-bathroom book format! Time and again, you’ll be able to read as Roy, Elan, Belkar, and the rest of the OOTS cast face off against power-mad liches, snippy goblin's henchmen, rebellious teenagers, clown puppets, and their own crushing incompetence.

The Order of the Stick: Dungeon Crawlin’ Fools features 160 pages of full-color comics, including 18 all-new, never-seen-on-the-web bonus strips. Plus, commentary by the author, prefaces by James Wyatt and Belkar Bitterleaf, and scads of random extras we crammed in wherever there was a gap in the page count. This is THE definitive version of the early OOTS adventures, and you like being definitive, don’t you? Of course you do.
