Order of the Stick spinoff comics

[Gd8908]

would you want one? Why? And what do you think it should be about?

[Dr.Epic]

The Adventures of Thog; 'nuff said.

:thog: thog get spinoff thog go to candyland

[Emperor Ing]

Umm, prehaps you wanna look at the Fan Comics subforum (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=54), I think?

I wouldn't mind two/three-page one-shots (and maybe the occassional sequel) like such.

I could make some fan fiction comics, so long as it's cool. I'm not sure if it says anywhere in the forums rules if that sort of fan stuff is okay. It wouldn't be in stick figures or anything, it would just use some of his characters.

Not really. A spin-off remains under the creator's control (IE -- the Giant), as opposed to a fan creation.

Edit: To address the topic at hand --

A spinoff of the Order of the Scribble would be rather neat, but I think it could best be handled in prequel book fashion.

[Maxios]

Perhaps the adventurers of the members of the Order before the comic.

Or a spin-off about Miko before she turned into a crazy, fallen paladin.

On the Origins of PCs?

[slayerx]

"The Terrible Tales of Tarquin" (comic about Tarquin and Malack's adventuring days)
"The Adventures of Julio Scoundrel"
"What Would Thor Do" (which would be a series of one shots)
"Rise of Badassery: O'Chul's story"

[Maxios]

On the Origins of PCs?

Similar, as Origins of the PCs doesn't reveal everything, just normally a while before they joined the Order. But, the characters had to have had other adventures before the prequel book.

Order of the Stick Babies? ...also they're in outer space.

[Crisis21]

I've actually had a spinoff story rambling about in my head for a while. The New Order of the Stick, covering the adventures of Eric Greenhilt (Son of Celia and Roy), Thea Starshine (Ninja daughter of Elan and Haley), and a few others who I have yet to produce names for (but includes the granddaughter of Right-Eye who is a Goblin Paladin. Why a Paladin? Because I thought a Goblin Paladin could be amusing. Another member would be a gnome just because).

The story would start out with the goblin paladin running into Eric, and then roping him and Thea into a quest to retrieve the Crimson Mantle which has been stolen (Yes, the female goblin paladin is still a follower of The Dark One, who honestly isn't sure what to do with a paladin in the first place. Why? I find it amusing, and needed a plot point to get started) by an unknown party. The New Order eventually discovers that the Crimson Mantle isn't the only religious object of power that's been stolen, objects of power for Gods both Good and Evil (and Lawful, Chaotic, and Neutral) have been stolen and are still being stolen. And no one knows why.

Anyway, that's what I'd like to see.

Just checking, but you do realize that both of those characters are male, right?

[PsychoticPanda]

I was wondering... maybe more on the Order of the rift, we do know they sealed the the rifts... but was that it? it seems like a good idea to expand on.

:mitd: Hi my name is Kraagar.

I don't think I'd like a "Hey! They're just like the Order...but they're their kids!" kind of strip, but the Adventures of Thog sounds pretty awesome. I doubt Rich really wants to devote his time to extras with his current situation, but it would nonetheless be really cool.

No, they're kids...and they're in space!...IN SPACE! Also, it would be more a parody of all those TV shows that did spinoffs like that.

The amount of cliche in that story would make Nale blush and Elan proud.

Not to mention the strip isn't over yet. Let's see if Elan and Haley are still together in the end, or Roy is even alive, or Right Eye's daughter is going to wind up in any position to have a paladin daughter.

Personally, I'd rather see something new than a spin off. Rarely do they hold up to the original, and very rarely do they offer anything new besides nostalgia.

Mr Scruffy P.I

He works with Blackwing investagating killings and disapearences in Cliffport.
With members of the Order making cameos once and awhile. And his arch enemy is Crime boss Qarr. Mr Scruffy has a vendetta for finding his old master's (Lord Shojo) killer. (Lets say he dosen't know who did it.) It sounds awesome to me. Mr. Scruffy Public Investigater! :smallbiggrin:

I'm sure the Giant has access to the Spelljammer books. OotS IN SPACE! is closer than you think...

No, ending the series with a climatic battle in space or some sort of floating area high above the world is WAY too cliche. The zombie dragon doesn't count.

Ah, but imagine the last panel... as the planet is saved, we pan up to a Neogi Spelljammer, where Kang and Kodos (carried by their Umber Hulk slaves) gloat over the pathetic new world they have come to conquer!

... okay, maybe it's just me.

That could happen if the final battle happened on the ground or even underground. Not to mention that sounds horrible.

So does Rich adding the variant paladin rules.

(About as likely, too.)

At least it's not EXTREMELY trite and cliche.

[Zaydos]

Tarquin or the Order of the Scribble, also Thor.

[Draconi Redfir]

would you want one? Why? And what do you think it should be about?

not going to answer the question, just gunna point something out. is your avatar a clip strait from the comic? if so that’s illegal. If you or someone other then Rich drew it on the other hand, then you're good.

[Gandariel]

i hope he will continue writing, and i would really enjoy spinoff like "the adventures of Thog and Sabine" or "What Would Thor Do?"...
but we can think about that later.
Now Rich is busy with the actual strip, and noone wants to distract him from his wounderful job :D

[Darth Hunterix]

I guess something like "The Amazing Tales of Julio Scoundrel" in Baron Münchhausen's style would be nice. In every strip the first and the last panel would show Julio talking to other patrons in some tavern abut his adventures, and everything between them would be illustration of his story. I'd love to see the confrontation between him and young O-Chul :)

[Dr.Epic]

AND SABINE?!?!? WHY?!?!? Why would you include her in the story? She'd completely ruin it!

[Bedinsis]

Tales of the traveling gnome: Solt Lorkyurgs travels throughout the world in his attempts to peddle spices, on the way encountering various "episodes" of experiences with all the NPCs of limited importance.

Basically, Solt acts as a sort of framing device to have stories of other NPCs told, which at the same time weaves together to Solt reaching an epiphany of the world and himself and at long last feeling happy... only for Belkar to kill him on the last page.

[Acero]

I got it!

After finshing their quest, the order opens a school! Elan runs around doing wierd things as a teacher, but eventually he and a pregnate Haley leave. Roy runs the place, while V works as a dean of magic. Nure Roberts Durkon already died, so he doesn't need a role. Belkar works with the newest batch (4 year school) on a more personal level, eventually courting Roy's star pupil.

Cast (new guys)
A young, shy, and socialy akward female rogue (looks to Haley at first for guidance)
A full of himself Duskblade/player.
Roy's star pupil
and a girl way too hot to be taken seriously as a Wizard.

Wait, that seems familiar...

That depends. Will Roy be mean to his star pupil?

Because if so, you just described the cast of Scrubs.

I like how you point out Durkon is dead by then but Belkar is still alive despite the fact we know he's going to take his last breath before the end of the year.

Now that :vaarsuvius: is divorced, he can get her own tower. Unfortunately, the settlement means he can't afford her own place, so he rents out a portion to a local merchant opening up an ice cream parlor - :thog: !

The two are actually business partners. Ones an arcane genius and the other hits stuff with an axe. Also, they adopted a cute little gnome child.

replace the gnome with a Goblin child, ad put it in the Dwarven mountans, and you got yourself a sponsor.

Everybody is sick of gnomes these days. besides, we need to start showing more Goblinoids in TV or Gobbotopia will initiate a hostile takeover! and by hostile i mean swords and spears!

The goblin demographic is extremely small compared to the gnome, halfling, kobold and other small size category creatures demographic.

Xykon is Alien spelled sideways. Coincedence?

It makes me wish I had better art skilz so I could do a Xykon's Skull/Alien Egg avatar. Then, as a spinoff, the surviving members of the Order could be sent back to Xykon's Planet to deal with a plague of liches ("In the Rift, No-One Can Hear You Sqee").

Mr. Scruffy is naturally noir:

Mr. Scruffy (patiently): When a cat's master is killed, he's supposed to do something about it. It doesn't make any difference what you thought of him. He was your master and you're supposed to do something about it. Well, when one of your organization gets killed, it's-it's bad business to let the killer get away with it, bad all around, bad for every detective everywhere.

Blackwing [picks up the falcon] Heavy. What is it?

Mr Scruffy: The stuff that dreams are made of.
