Rich Burlew, who draws the webcomic ''Order of the Stick'' (OOTS), sometimes goes on break and uses guest strips at filter. On or around 17 August 2005 appeared a guest strip by Rob Boder, "Order of the ASCII", setting OOTS references in the world of [[NetHack]]. As OOTS normally draws the characters as ''stick'' figures, this guest strip drew them as [[ASCII]].

NetHack players might recognise the following features of the strip:
* The "C:\Nethack\NetHack.exe" in the top of the window.
* The [[polymorph trap]] and the [[magic trap]] summoning monsters while causing [[blindness]].
* The [[carrot]] cures blindness.
* Two [[blessed]] [[scroll]]s: the [[scroll of taming]] and [[scroll of genocide]].
* They are seeking the [[Amulet of Yendor]].

Unusually, Roy had already [[identify|identified]] the [[wooden harp]] when Nale grabbed it.

The strip also contains references to OOTS. To understand them, you would need to read some of the previous OOTS strips, but you can consult [http://www.comixpedia.org/index.php/The_Order_of_the_Stick Comixpedia:Order of the Stick] as a reference.
* The Order of the Stick is an adventuring party led by Roy Greenhilt, so the guest strip gives the name "Roy" to the NetHack player. However, Roy is a Fighter in OOTS but a [[Ranger]] in NetHack. (NetHack has no Fighter [[role]].)
* Roy Greenhilt leads five other party members, so Roy the Ranger obtains five similar [[pet]]s.
* The [[little dog]] named Nale became a [[human]], took the harp, and started singing like Elan, the bard of OOTS. In OOTS, Nale is actually the name of Elan's evil twin brother, and Nale does not sing.
* The four other pets resemble the other four party members: the {{brightmagenta|@}}{{white|@}} match Haley the human [[Rogue]] and Vaarsuvius the [[elf|elven]] Mage ([[Wizard]]), the {{green|h}} matches Belkar the halfling ([[hobbit]]), the {{red|h}} matches Durkon the [[dwarf|dwarvish]] Cleric (a D&D class somewhat like a [[Healer]] or [[Priest]]).
* Xykon is a [[lich]] and antagonist of OOTS, but only in NetHack does Roy find a scroll of genocide and actually finish Xykon.

As ''[[Dudley's dungeon]]'' is a webcomic set in NetHack, so ''Order of the Stick'' is a webcomic set in [[Dungeons and Dragons]] (D&D). Since NetHack and D&D are so similar, setting one OOTS guest strip in NetHack is somewhat effective.
