Yes, yes, you're not the first to recommend that one. Let me run you through the process for considering a new addition to the Only Good Comics On The Internet:
1. Read current strip. Is it funny? (Y/N)
2. Read first strip. Is it funny? (Y/N)
If YY, add to list, read archives in spare time.
If NN, throw in bin.
If YN or NY, read archives and hold off judgment for a bit.
Order of the Stick is an NN. Don't try to tell me that it gets better later, or has its moments; I don't have time to slog through a comic hoping a good strip comes along, I want one NOW. I received so many recommendations for Ctrl-Alt-Del that I waived my usual system (which produced NN) and forced myself to sit through the entire shitty archive. At the end of it my opinion was unchanged and I had to be talked down from a roof, so since then my rules have been in stone.

As I walked through the valley of the shadow of death, I realised that it could do with a lick of paint.

In other words what Yahtz is trying to say is that if its funny to you, it may not (and probebly wont) be funny to him.

Mind you, the comics alright. Sort of 8-Bit Theatre, only without sprites, and a bit more geeklore.

I quite like it myself. I think the first one is a bit weak, but meyh. If you don't like it a few in, you're probably not going to like it later on.

I love it myself, but I understand Y's reason for not putting it up. You do have to have an above average knowledge of DnD. Niche comics are pretty damn funny to the niche they play to but overall they usually don't cut it.

I happen to know an excellent comic to be added to the great comic listing. It might already be on there, but im not sure.
Elf Only Inn
AIt ended quite abruptly though, being half finished and all. The artist didn't even say goodbye. Makes me kinda sad.

If memory serves, he went on hiatus due to work, and never came back. Was good when it lasted though.
