Order of the stick campaign setting.

[Brutalitops]

Am I the only one who really wants to see the OOTS campaign setting when the comics finish up.

Its a really interesting world with cool monsters lore and a really interesting group of Gods and their would be a huge demand for it given how popular the order of the stick comic is.

What would you need for an OOTS world. Lore on each gods. How each race interacts with each other. What is this mysterious Japan country we heard about in strip 209.

If you are interested Rich did at one point consider writing a sourcebook about the OOTS campaign world, but it got shelved around the time that 4th edition was launched. He included it as bonus material in the PDF for DSTP.

Unfortunately he said that it is unlikely he picks back up the project and finishes it, so the 8 pages of content there are probably all we're going to get.

Unfortunately he said that it is unlikely he picks back up the project and finishes it, so the 8 pages of content there are probably all we're going to get.Plus, you know, the 1200+ online comic strips, the maps included in the books, the prequels and companion stories full on information about how the various nations and races interact.

Is everything spelled out for you? No, certainly not.

Is there enough there to run a game in? Certainly. You will have to make some things up, but that's true of any campaign setting.

But you know the names of most of the kingdoms (the ones that don't change every six months, anyway) and their forms of government. You know quite a lot about the Southern Continent, and that the Azurites have a love/hate relationship with The Realm of the Dragon. You know a lot about the Western continent, and who's nominally in charge there, and that the Elves get tetchy when dragons invade their air space. You know a lot about the gnomes. You know the names of most of the dwarf clans, and that only some of the dwarves have heavy accents (High Priestess Rubyrock doesn't have one, and neither do Minrah or Hilgya or Thirden). You know the bugbears mostly live near the north pole. You know how the demi-gods in the Northern pantheon feel about their status. From there, you can infer the western demigods feel the same.

Anything you don't know, you can make up or infer. What more do you need?

Don't misunderstand, I don't need more, I was just stating that if we were talking about a formal sourcebook regarding the OOTS world, that is something we will not have. This is sort of like the difference between the novels set in various d&d campaign settings and actual sourcebooks that layout how those campaign settings work. Both contribute to the telling and understanding of that world, but through very different means, and given the OP was inquiring about it as a campaign setting, I thought fit to mention the time Rich almost did make a sourcebook.

No level of disrespect to the comic and its creator were meant.

No worries. :smallbiggrin:

I wasn't really trying to defend The Giant (he can do that quite well on his own if he feels it necessary), just point out to the OP all the stuff we do have. :smallsmile:
