"Order of the Stick" is a webcomic created by Rich Burlew that parodies traditional Dungeons & Dragons gameplay. It follows a group of adventurers, known as the Order of the Stick, as they embark on quests, battle monsters, and navigate the challenges of a fantasy world. The characters are depicted as stick figures, which adds a unique charm to the storytelling. The comic combines humor with elements of role-playing games, often breaking the fourth wall and referencing gaming mechanics. It has gained a dedicated fanbase and has expanded into published books, merchandise, and even a successful Kickstarter campaign for an animated series.
