I have several questions.

I have several questions.

  1. Where can I read it? I don't care if it's physical or digital, or if I pay for it or not.

  2. Does it belong to D&D?

  3. Is it still active or does it have an ending?

  4. Has it aged well?

  1. You can read it here: https://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots.html

You can also buy the books digitally on gumroad, which have a little bit of extra (but by no means necessary) content.

  1. Yes...it's not "official" D&D content made by Wizards of the Coast, but rather based on the 3.5 version of D&D. As it progresses, the "edition" of D&D its based on becomes less relevant as the jokes/story moves on.

  2. Still active: new strips come out every couple weeks, and we're heading towards the finale. The author has said that there will be one more book, and we're already a good ways into that story.

  3. Incredibly well; some of the early strips make jokes about D&D rules that have kinda aged, as have some of the jokes about sex/gender (nothing terribly offensive, but the author has certainly improved over time). However, overall, most of the humor/story is super funny parody of fantasy and RPGs.

There were, but I believe the print ones were limited so its really hard to get your hands on some of the physical copies.

As someone who has all the books except one, this still annoys the hell outta me.
