Order Of The Stick Adventure (D&D 3.5 style)

[Bartmanhomer]

Do you think that Order Of The Stick Adventure compatible to D&D 3.5? I know it's a dumb question. But I just wanted to make sure.

Order Of The Stick Adventure

Is this a specific product you are asking about, or are you simply asking if the story of the Order Of The Stick webcomic would work as a D&D campaign? :smallconfused:

If the latter, the answer is obviously yes (provided that your group wants to play that sort of self-aware parody story).

It absolutely would. Mind you, it might have a few different story beats depending on if the party is smart enough to stop the invasion of the Sapphire City. But it would work.

Very much that. Do not expect your own group to act the way the in-game characters do to the beat. Especially if they know the comic.

You might have to reconfigure several of the big setpiece fights that rely on shaky RAW. For example, this one (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0114.html) and this one. (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0352.html)

The broad strokes of "the party fights an evil lich and later finds out there's a god-killing abomination in their wold" could work. But sooner or later you'll run into the issue of its being a story, not a game (like the invasion of Azure City or Miko dragging them all off).

(like the invasion of Azure City or Miko dragging them all off).Eh, I've run a chain gang adventure for a while. It can work given proper context and if it does not last too long.

It's more that you would need to ensure the PCs can't avoid capture or escape. "This NPC will beat them up and escort them to her lord" is much too unreliable. That strip ended with a joke about a "stupid railroad plot". It was a joke in the comic; in a game it'd be an actual problem. And of course, a multiclas dual-wielding monk/paladin is going to be rather laughably weak in most real 3.5 campaigns.

The initial Xykon encounter wouldn't work well in a real game. You'd have to add another comedy gimmick like Xykon deliberately ignoring them.
