The final Dragon Magazine strip is a love letter to the legendary publication.įar from being just a series of puns and gamer inside jokes, Order of the Stick has addressed a surprising series of interesting issues.

Thus ends the tale of Eric and the Dread Gazebo. They were also a regular feature in the late lamented Dragon Magazine, where they poked fun at the hobby with wit and flair. At this point, the increasingly amused fellow party members restored a modicum of order by explaining to Eric what a gazebo is. The story follows the eponymous adventurers, gathered together by Roy Greenhilt the Fighter, as they travel the land on a quest to fulfill the blood oath Roy’s father had failed to complete before his demise, to destroy the Lich Xykon before the undead wizard completes his quest to unlock the reality destroying Snarl and wreak havoc across the universe.
