The first then-current page I remember is Xykon looking over the big shot of the hobgoblin citty, and the words "I think I just had an evilgasm." Looking back, that page came out in 2005. I have been reading this comic for fifteen loving years.

I started reading it just before the big showdown with Xykon at the end of the first dungeon. I'm not even kidding when I say I can remember which pages were "current" during significant moments of my life.

I vividly remember getting to the villager setting up their swindles aimed at adventurers, clicking the next button, and nothing happening.

I started right around the start of the battle for Azure City. The panel where Redcloak fires titanium elementals. I don't remember what link I followed to get there.

Yeah, I forget where exactly I first found out about it, but I remember that the most recent strip was the one where Roy finally got resurrected.

I think the first page I read was Nale!!!! Nale!!!! Nale!!!! or at least that's the page that I ended up bookmarking when I finally accepted that the comic was worth reading and added it to my queue, since there's no real home page link. For a while I was grumpy that this dumb vector stick figure comic was so high in the top webcomics list over some other dumb poo poo I was reading.

I remember the current story when I started reading was the trial in Azure City, right before the Snarl backstory started up. I stopped checking the site regularly during either Don’t Split the Party or early Blood Runs in the Family. Then a couple years ago, I got into my first actual consistent D&D campaign and decided to check up on the comic again and caught up right before Durkon got resurrected.

I was re-reading some and in #411 "The Power Behind the Throne" Hinjo says "Those breaches varied widely in size, from the largest breach in the Redmountain Hills..." The breach in the desert was quite large (Colossal?), but this last one is even bigger. I don't think it could be hidden either in the statue or behind one of the doors. Maybe the entire hill is hollow and there's some way to open it up?

Lol, I started right at the comic where Roy gets his sword. I remember that Durkon had that line, "you weren't this excited when I turned you back into a man." That caught the interest of egg_irl 10 year old me, and suddenly I was hooked. Turns out that Order of the Stick wasn't a fun, fantasy, transgender romp. Funny that.

Late first book. It was after the betrayal by Nale and the Linear Guild, before they got to the battle at the Gate.

The breech that exists now, doesn't mean that's how large it was Pre-Gates. Azure City and the Desert one was probably helped along by the explosion of the gates (which were imbued with various magics to help shore up reality.)

My first strip was #602. I don't remember how far the comic was then, because I only read a few strips and went back to the start, but I think by the time I caught up, I was just about at the end of book 4.

I don't even remember where the comic was at when I first started reading, but it was somewhere in the back half of book 2. I think it was during the whole hotel caper.

I'm not 100% sure which strip was my first, but I know for a fact that I came aboard after the initial dungeon crawl was over, because I remember being able to marathon it straight through to the Xykon fight in my first sitting.

People had been hankering for a way to show their support, and then he gave them carte blanche to do it, and let himself get caught up in needing to "earn" this sudden influx of money.

This is a good thing for us since a less stubborn man would have given up on his silly stick figure comic within the first decade. But at least after seventeen years, deteriorating health, a potentially life-changing injury and two massive IT failures he is finally allowing people to give him money in exchange for his work.

Wish I remembered more clearly when I started reading this, now that it's been a part of my life for so long. I know it was somewhere during No Cure For the Paladin Blues, it had to have been after the Inn (because I remember binging that arc in one sitting) but before the start of War and XPs as that was in early 2006 and I remember playing D&D with someone whose PC was blond Vaarsuvius late 2005 who I rolled my eyes at constantly. Probably before the Snarl reveal, as that part feels fresher than the blur of events leading up to that. This comic is not yet as old as I was when I started reading it, but it's almost there. I've dropped every other webcomic from those days (or they've ended), but Rich continues to deliver and I don't mind giving him my money now that I'm an adult. It's been a ride.

I read it around around the time that there were a dozen or so strips and went, "Ugh, another lovely gaming webcomic," and then ignored it until around the last few strips of the Azure City arc. I don't think my original impression was wrong, either.
