It's time for a Spinoff!

[rbetieh]

I am sure we all want to here the story of how Rob Redblade met Murkon Lightninghammer and began an adventure to defeat NokyX the Mummy-Wizard and his companion, the Orc Favored Soul BlueHelm.

On the way they can meet the Half-Drow Wizard/Barbarian, Anel :smallsmile:

[David Argall]

Too much just a copy. Our spinoff should deal with a loose end of the current story. Say...
Sabine may be about to vanish from the story. Maybe not, but if she does, or merely survives to the end of the story...
Sabine goes back to Azure City, and gets the body of Miko, which she has raised. Her motive is some hot lesbian action. However, Miko still prefers to make war, not love, and wants to kill Sabine in particular. But Sabine points out that converting an evil succubus to LG ought to be a good enough deed to requalify Miko as a paladin. Whatever the gods may think of this plan, Miko buys it and now agrees to both spare Sabine and to extensive close personal contact [defined by whether we are shooting for PG or XXX].

[ellindsey]

I'd be happy with the ongoing adventures of Gannji and Enor.

[jere7my]

I suggest an "adult" spinoff called The Ardor of the Stick.

[Draxonicar]

A detailed prequel detailing the actions and history of the Order of the Scribble would be nice.

[Magesmiley]

A detailed prequel detailing the actions and history of the Order of the Scribble would be nice.

I have a feeling that Rich is planning to show us a bit more on them still.

[Everyl]

How about The Adventures of Kraagor in the Riftworld, about all the wacky hijinks he got up to after slaying the Snarl in single combat? Too close to the "more info about the Order of the Scribble?"

[Ramien]

How about Miko's Mishaps, where we get to see all the trouble she caused solved before she met the Order of the Stick? If we start itfar enough back, we could even see O-Chul with hair!

Adventures in Plumbing, Starring Hannah, would be a great view on what sort of person works as a plumber in a world where monsters live in the sewers and sometimes come up the pipes. Hannah could be trying to keep her more adventurous projects secret from her mother, the "internal decorator" with secrets of her own...

The Oracle deserves a series of his own, although I'm not sure if it should involve just all predictions he has to make, or just his deaths, one after another... Either that or an AU with him as an advice columnist.

[TroubleBrewing]

A sitcom-style comic, showing us the wacky hijinks of running an all-you-can-eat Hydra BBQ.

[karkus]

Her motive is some hot lesbian action.

That what quite the sharp turn this story just made...

THE BELKSTER

[Kornaki]

In the Cliffport criminal justice system, the people are represented by two separate yet equally important groups: the police, who investigate crime, and the district attorneys, who prosecute the offenders. These are their stories.

[jidasfire]

It's not a spinoff exactly, but I've always liked the idea of a caper/heist flick where Gannji and Enor, Hank and Yor, Redaxe and the Shadowdancer, the Cleric of Loki, and Leeky and Pompey are all competing for the same treasure with the Cliffport PD hot on their trail.

That's already coming, via the Kickstarter.

These are my favorite with Adventures in Plumbing my MOST favorite.

This makes me regret not participating in it just a little more :smallfrown:

All the Kickstarter stories will almost certainly be released in another form at some point.

[jogiff]

I want a spinoff starring the "small weasel" from these two (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0144.html) comics (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0174.html). We follow him and learn about his journey to become a paladin mount and then the adventurers he and his (dimunitive?) paladin go on.

Chucking turtle shells at monstrous mushrooms, saving princes in other castles, getting abilities from magic items with beady eyes... y'know, the usual.

One Gelatinous Cube and the Mushroom kingdom is history. Hannah can do better.

[bobinchese]

A spinoff about Thog at any stage of his life would be incredible (maybe his epic journey where he goes from a petty criminal to champion of the arena).

[coineineagh]

I'd watch a sitcom based on it, or a roleplaying fantasy porno, or a combination of the two!:smallbiggrin:

[gorocz]

Bard Boy and Ninja Girl (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0562.html)!

[ChristianSt]

In the Cliffport criminal justice system, the people are represented by two separate yet equally important groups: the police, who investigate crime, and the district attorneys, who prosecute the offenders. These are their stories.

If I may suggest a title for it:

Law and Chaos
(and with Mr. Phil Rodriguez representing the district attorneys, it isn't even a stretch!)


Bard Boy and Ninja Girl (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0562.html)!

I think it should be called:

The Adventures of Ninja Girl & Bard Boy

[davidbofinger]

The evil sauce dragon has kidnapped Gootrude, and her true love Prince Oozalot of Hidden Valley has lost his throne. The mighty wizard One-Who-Tastes-Less-Like-Garlic, aided only by a a native mentor and comic sidekick, must try to stop the story from ever being published.

[F.Harr]

All the Kickstarter stories will almost certainly be released in another form at some point.

I'v got my fingers crossed.

That's less of a spin-off and more of a blatant copy.

The Small Weasel is actually a reference to this SNES/Gameboy game (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mystery_Dungeon:_Shiren_the_Wanderer), where there is a wise cracking weasel called Koppa, who is Shiren's sidekick. Note that in the actual game, Shiren wears a blue cloak and typically carries a sword (master sword is usually the best weapon in the game), like Miko.

[gorocz]

I think it should be called:

The Adventures of Ninja Girl & Bard Boy

Yeah, I originally wanted to write something like that, but I kept thinking "The Whacky Adventures of Ninja Girl & Bard Boy", which is too ridiculous (and a bit tautologic, since every Bard Boy's adventure is sure to be whacky) :smallbiggrin:

[AKA_Bait]

How about a sitcom based on the Evil Diner?

[F.Harr]

I agree. That would be great.

The weasel is a reference to rolling a 76-90 on a bag of tricks (http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/SRD:Bag_of_Tricks). Do you have any reason to think Rich has even heard of this obscure 20-year-old video game?

Well, it wouldn't be the first relatively obscure reference (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0746.html).

A weasel yes. But a talking wisecracking weasel? Too obvious to ignore. It's also not an obscure video game as it was popular enough to be re-released on DS and a new version was made for Wii

[Weimann]

The most likely spin-off series would probably be a prequel focusing on the Order of the Scribble, or on Tarquin's party. Then again, I'd not say no to a next generation type of deal, featuring some of the kids of the original Order.

[Kish]

Well, it wouldn't be the first relatively obscure reference (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0746.html).
Yeah, like when Ookadook was clearly a reference to the Librarian from Discworld.

Oh wait.

Team Tarquin (or Linear Guild), are the two best bets for a book I think. (If that is what you mean with most likely spin-off).

Order of the Scribble will not happen, since the Giant said it is too important and will be needed for the main story (when I'm home I maybe search for the source).
So it will only happen after the central parts have happened, which would be kinda strange.

[F.Harr]

Flumpfland anyone?

[ti'esar]

A weasel yes. But a talking wisecracking weasel? Too obvious to ignore.

...Er, "talking wisecracking animal sidekick" has not only been a staple trope of fantasy for a while, it's been a staple trope to parody for a while. I can't speak for Rich, so it's impossible to be certain, but it's easily possible that character was not intended as a specific reference.

[Gift Jeraff]

There's also a wisecracking mustelid sidekick in a ten (or so) year old video game series (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jak_and_Daxter), as well.

Also, I have one IRL. It's really a fairly common trope.

[mimhoff]

I want to see what Roy's gnome illusionist gets up to next!

I guess for that he'd need to die again and be in the afterlife though.

[The Dark Fiddler]

Too much just a copy. Our spinoff should deal with a loose end of the current story. Say...
Sabine may be about to vanish from the story. Maybe not, but if she does, or merely survives to the end of the story...

However, Miko still prefers to make war, not love, and wants to kill Sabine in particular. But Sabine points out that converting an evil succubus to LG ought to be a good enough deed to requalify Miko as a paladin. Whatever the gods may think of this plan, Miko buys it and now agrees to both spare Sabine and to extensive close personal contact [defined by whether we are shooting for PG or XXX].

Make it less smut-focused and I actually really like this as an idea for a side-story.

[Perseus]

How about Miko's Mishaps, where we get to see all the trouble she caused solved before she met the Order of the Stick? If we start itfar enough back, we could even see O-Chul with hair!

Totally see Hannah with overalls... Or maybe she she goes off to save a prince and all she finds is a kobold that says "your prince is in another castle".
