Have you ever tried to deal with a Paladin? Having played a Thief in AD&D I can tell you, they can be a pain in the...purse. Always handing out money, food, and advice to anybody in need. Or anybody at all. Paladins really push their nose into business that, most of the time, has nothing to do with them. And they drag everybody along with them.
So when the Order of the Stick finds itself on the wrong side of a Paladin's pair of sharp swords you know they are in trouble. It seems that they are now on the most wanted list for their actions at Dorukan's Gate.
Popcorn Gods, side quests and the return of Xykon! And crayons! What more could you ask for?

One of the greatest, funniest comics I have ever read. As a gamer it makes me like the game even more while being more able to laugh at myself. For the non gamer it would still be in danger of sending them to hopital for surgerey to have their guts stitched back inside.
I would reccomend this comic to my mother in law.

This is the third volume to showcase the stylized stick-figure adventures of the Order of the Stick, a group of sometimes inept and always quarreling swords-and-sorcery adventurers on a quest to defeat their arch-enemy and, of course, obtain wealth and power along the way. The previous two volumes ("Dungeon Crawlin' Fools" and "On the Origin of PCs") were a collection of the very first installments of the web comic and a batch of new material to provide character backstories respectively. This present book carries on the plotlines introduced in the very first collection. (OOTS also appears now in "Dragon" magazine as a series of one-shots strips that do not pertain to the ongoing story.)
These collections are HIGHLY recommended to any D&D player (especially those familiar with the 3rd Edition rules) or to any fantasy RPG fan in general. The strips feature side-splittingly wry humor, actual character development, worthy and interesting opponents with intricate schemes, recurring NPCs, and nifty adventures. (And, as a bonus, there are almost no typos or grammar errors such as plague almost every other web comic.)
Mr. Burlew provides some authorial reflections in different sections of the book and some hints about what is yet to come (he is projecting a five-to-seven book series before OOTS wraps up). There's also some previously unpublished material included.
High page count and quality paper, too.
Pick this up immediately, and then order a copy for your closest friend.

Volume two of the Order of the Stick series has great art, dialouge, and storytelling. It's very clever, and doesn't fall into so many of the ruts that many webcomics or gaming cartoons fall prey to. At nearly 250 pages, it's worth the money, and that's before you consider the additional material in the book that's not available on the website.
Highly enjoyable for people who are currently part of the rollplaying scene, or people like me, who left D&D behind a long time ago back when "Advanced" was considered something kinda newfangled and sexy.... I reccomend this book to everyone.
