Books order

[Mazyrian]

No, not the publication or chronological order, but the physical one.
Random question: for those who have the books, how do you arrange them? I at first put them as D / -1 / 0 / 1 and on, but now arrange them in publication order

D/-1/0/1/etc.

Okay, I can see that -1/0/1... probably means Start of Darkness, On the Origin of PCs, Dungeon Crawlin' Fools and so on, but what is "D"?

[Gift Jeraff]

D/-1/0/1/2/3/4/6

Snips, Snails, and Dragon Tales

Snips Snails and Dragon Tails has "D" for the number, since it includes the Dragon Magazine strips.

-1/0/1/2/3/4/D are the spine numbers of the books (SoD/OtOoPCs/DCF/NCftPB/WaXPs/DStP/SSaDT respectively).

Imo arranging -1 to 4 any other way doesn't makes sense. The real question is where to put D. I do it at the end right now (where it probably will stay until hopefully book K gets sorted after it :smallwink:)

"D" goes between 4 & 5 because of all of the Stick Tales that are told in that gap. :smalltongue:

[Copperdragon]

D, -1, 0, ...

D "does not belong", but has to go somewhere, so I put it to the left, before the actual line begins.

[factotum]

I'm another D, -1, 0, 1... . I'll always put the numbered ones in order, so then it just becomes a choice of where to put the non-numbered one; in this case, I chose the left because the D book is quite thin and looks better (IMHO) next to the lower-numbered books, which are also thinner ones.

1/0/2/-1/3/4/D

My personal recommended reading Order, basically.

Where will you put 5? Before or after D?

[Mrc.]

0,1,2,3,4,D. I love Start of Darkness so much that it rarely gets to join its fellow books. In fact, it has graced my bedside table for the past few months, and I don't see any reason to put it back. It is fantastic, not just for Order of the Stick, not just for comic books in general but as a book. I've read many, many books that failed to get the response from me that goodbye brother did and they all came far more highly recommended than SoD.

-1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, D, Coloring book

[RMS Oceanic]

After D. Because D has a scene that takes place between 4 and 5.

[Mighty]

D/-1/0/1/2/3/4/6

6? :smallconfused:

Anyway, I put -1/0/1/2/3/4/D. I agree with Porthos, that D should be placed between 4 and 5, due to some of the content in D being told at after book 4.

Also, I wonder what the Kickstarter content book will be labeled. K? :smalltongue:

[ChristianSt]

Honestly I think I will put book 5 between 4 and D.

Yes, there is an argument to made that it happens between 4 and 5 from the main comic. But on the same way it is possible to put it probably between -1 and 0 (because I think that is the best time frame for Julio Scoundrél) or in another shelf (best analogy to alternate reality, e.g 4e!Order / Dragon strips).

Since I only have one copy, and therefore can't implement all those restrictions (and I'm definitely not tearing it in multiple parts), I'm choosing a fair compromise in not using any of these positions :smalltongue:


And since I luckily have two coloring books, I have one at the beginning, and the other at the end :smallbiggrin:


If Rich does a book collecting the Kickstarter stories, I think that K would make the most sense (or at least I would like it that way).

so sorting in the future book 5 and a hypothetical book K, I would go coloring book/-1/0/1/2/3/4/5/D/K/coloring book :smallwink:
