Introduction by MostlyHarmless
A number of years ago a few fellow fans of Order of the Stick and members of The Giant's Playground tossed around the idea of creating a new campaign world, taking a cue from The Giant himself on his campaign building tips. We had the support of The Giant in this endeavor and our own little corner of the Playground was granted to us where we could take and run with the idea. We quickly set about tossing around ideas for a theme, a tone, and general this and that. We agreed that we would put ideas to a vote for each issue thereby coming up with a campaign world by consensus. Thus was born Tears of Blood.
The highlights of what we established early on, to name a few, are as follows: the tone would be gritty, a world where day to day life was a struggle; there would be several themes that worked together, namely -- a plague that recently ravaged the country, an atmosphere of revolution and unstable governments, an atmosphere of mistrust of strangers, including especially PC adventurers, and finally that magic use is in flux; the races needed some adjustments; a pantheon of gods would be original material; a playable large race would be introduced; at least one template sort of race would be established for players who had at some point contracted the deadly plague we now call The Weeping...and survived. This list is introductory and far from exhaustive. Unravel the details of them within.
