I have to add my two cents...

This adventure is amazing! I am so impressed - it's like the good old days! It has everything I look for in a module, esp. the background info!

If you're not buil ...

Castle Greyhawk reminds me (in feel, in design) of my first D&D experiences. I just want to thank you two again, and encourage you to keep at it!

Rasgon,

You'll learn, if you continue the Dune series that the 'worms have a huge meaning and significance to Arrakis.

My players only ever made it to the Sea of Dust once in my old campaign, ...

I saw part of the last episode.
Apparently there are these guys that can turn into monster-thingies!
(I hope that wasn't a spoiler!)

I have not yet read the newest book. I have debated whether I want to continue the emotional investment.

But I probably will....

And I do agree with you about the ending of Da Road!

Just wondering: will this series cover the most recent book?

I've been avoiding the series as I found the books pretty depressing, and a very pessimstic view of man. History has enough of that - I ...

I've been following this show along with DaVinci's Demons with some interest. Fun watching, if one isn't a stickler for historical details. Although I'd give The Borgias a higher rating in that cate ...

Would it be redundant to mention just how much I love that comic? It's been hilarious lately too.
Keep up the great work guys!

Dark Herald

Please take a look at Torn Asunder. I do not remember the publisher at this moment. This book is devoted to critical hits.

I have been tossing around the idea of critical hit rul ...

Chainmail - in it's original little silvery book version was one of myb favorite games wayyyy back when. I can't even tell you how many battles were waged between Minifigs Elves, Minifigs (snout-nose ...

That's an exciting project!
I really hope you get to finish this!
Count me in (as soon as I can free up some funds - currently broke Cry

srry - double-posted

It troubles me that the same producers will be on board that produced the horrible Jeremy Irons ham-fest. But the script being based on Chainmail? I must know more!!!

As a few of you know, I'm an Herbalist and a Pagan, so I get to meet all kinds of interesting people with all kinds of interesting philospohies and theologies.

The Twin Cataclysms were envisioned as a fantasy equivalent to a real world nuclear war followed by a nuclear winter. However, I don't believe EGG ever intended for the truth to be that the space/tim ...

A tip of the hat, and a "well said!" to both vestcoat and El Scholar Mystico!

I've been pulling my hair out trying to remember where I saw this, but it's a few ideas for Tharizdun cultists here:

The goals and theology of a Black Brotherhood that follows Tharizdun would reflect that of the god, don't you think? And what is Tharizdun's goal?
The complete and utter destruction of everything; ...

In my Bandit Kingdoms campaign I'm having a lot of fun introducing my players to Stoink's Chicago-ese accent. I figure if EGG equated Stoink with my hometown, I'd chew the scenery a little.

Congrats on levelling up Cebrion! IMC you'd need to visit a trainer now! Wink

Those are some amazing pics - thanks for posting them! I am a big fan of spelunking, although I've only seen the more 'touristy' caves open to the public...so far. They are beautiful, in every case. ...

That's a great series Sir X! I got hooked on Mr. Cornwell's Sharpe series. (That was also my introduction to Mr. Sean Bean, one of my favorite actors, as well as the famed 95th Rifles) Every Cornwel ...

I'm looking for some ideas...
The network of Standing Stones that Druids of the Old Faith use to travel are supposed to be guarded by 'Nature Spirits" from what I remember. Does anyone know the natu ...

Isn't Scant in Onnwal considered under seige in the 590's?

(I hate to keep being a me-too poster, but;)

I love your work! I really dig that style - esp. the troll, bugbear, and nereid. Has your work seen print? If not, why not?

Of course, this will also explain why our "village" (being discussed in another thread) could use the services of a trained mason. Everyone in the village is not going to know how to build a chim ...

Neutral Good Human Druid, Lvl 6

How boring...but kind of close...I wonder what answers I'd need to be a mage? And here I thought I was all chaotic.

Thanks for bringing this thread back to life. ...

Now that was funny!
Thanks for sharing that - it brought back some great memories!

I have to agree with you Sir X. I think D&D reached the peak of playability with 3.5e.
But opinions certainly differ! (Esp. here!)

Drow were mentioned in the 1st edition Monster Manual I. "The drow, or black elves, are only legend..." That book was published in 1977; the G series was published in 1978.

Just wondering: ...

I certainly hope that my opinion did not imply a devaluation of your opinion. That was never intended. I hope we can swap opinions here without giving offense.

Hey amigo, we roll 3.5e, where anybody can be anything! (jk)
I know 3.5 is often abused my the min/max crowd, but I never did see the logic of having neither hobniz clerics nor half-euroz fighters ...

That's some exciting stuff. I would love to see how that works out in actual play.
How come there are no DMs like him in my area?

Hi Folks,

I have discovered rpol.net a few months ago and am currently starting a new Greyhawk 3.5e campaign. I'm pretty low-tech, so don't expect state of the art mapping, but if you enjoy good r ...

It's TV, M.S! Ya can't expect anything great. I don't. But I enjoy it when they give history a try. When they present anything past a Kirk Douglas-type show about the Northmen, I figure it's worth ...

Just a side not: Keelhauling was usually fatal, due to the process, but also due to the razor-sharp barnacles that encrusted most ships of the day.

And congrats DLG!!!

It sounds like a bit of modern Paganism's "Great Rite" attributed to the Fae.

Some amazing adventuring here Ragnar! That's quite a party!
Also, kudos to you for taking the time to share this with the GH community. It's much appreciated!

Warlock, I am very eager to follow your new campaign! You've combined three themes that I LOVE:

My perspectives on Greyhawk seem to be expanding daily here!
