and enjoy it wholeheartedly with nary a second's hesitation. (Amy) It is an odd thing to read a prequel for a book one has not itself read, of a webcomic of which one has read fewer than a dozen strips, based on a game one has never played. Then go and immediately buy all the other books. Enjoy the new material in glorious grayscale "Past-O-Vision".
Then run, do not walk, to your local gaming store, bookstore, or web browser - use the link in this post, of a kindness - and buy a copy. If you haven't read it on-line yet, go and read it now, so that you know the characters well enough to enjoy this book. This is a great addition - did I mention that all the content is new, not-seen-on-the-web material? Well, I did now. This quirky and possibly retrofitted volume-numbering scheme is perhaps the one quibble I have ever heard regarding these books, except possibly that the virulently anti-pun may groan excessively upon discovering that all the titles in this series are dreadful puns on existing well-known book titles.īut those trivia aside, unabashedly positive review. Start of Darkness, which relates the origins of the NPCs (for which, in this context, non-gamers, read antagonists) in much the same way this one does the PCs (you guessed it, protagonists), is Volume -1. Yes, even though it's Volume 0, like it says on the right, it's the second. Otherwise, you're missing out on a lot of great entertainment.īut this is not supposed to be a puff piece for the webcomic itself it's supposed to be a review of the second OOtS book - in universe-internal order - On the Origin of PCs. Well, you probably should, if you possess any combination of the following: a) an interest in role-playing games b) an appreciation for good webcomics or c) a functional sense of humor. (Alistair) Do you follow The Order of the Stick?
