Description

Like all great stories in the history of the universe, this one begins in a tavern. The Order of the Stick: On the Origin of PCs reveals the secret character backgrounds of your favorite band of webcomic adventurers, the Order of the Stick. Spinning out of the popular online comic (and subsequent book collections), On the Origin of PCs presents 72 pages of all-new, never-seen- before-or-since OOTS action and comedy that detail what each of the six members of the Order were doing with their lonely and pathetic lives before they joined forces to become a less lonely (but no less pathetic) team. Presented in nostalgic greyscale that we like to call Past-O-Vision, On the Origin of PCs is a vital part of your Order of the Stick collection.

A very funny prequel to the main plot of OoTS, starring everyone's favorite adventuring group. My favorite bits are the Durkon backstory, of course, because dwarves (and especially dwarven clerics) rock. :D Nice introductions to everyone, with judicious decisions made about who gets lengthy

explanations and who doesn't. If you want to know why Belkar is a maniac, you won't find out here, but if you want to know about Roy's family issues, this is the place to see it.

Rich Burlew's OOTS is one of the best internet comics. It's deceptively simple-looking art disguises a great humorist and great story-lines. Although you do need to know something about role-playing, and the more you know about Dungeons and Dragons in particular, the more you will enjoy the

comic.

On the Origin of Species is the story of how the Order became a adventuring party. The strips have not been (and will not be) published in internet. The short stories themselves are not as funny as the webcomic, but if you enjoy OOTS a lot, you will find this album very much worth your while.
