Most people are set on using the Touv and the Amedio for an African area, though this is not any sort of African plains area.

The Touv live in Hepmonaland, not the Amedio. Hepmonaland contains ...

Comments on articles are STILL disabled. You guys have been told how to correct this, without reallowing spam attacks, at least twice.

We were told the new theme (which is ugly by 1997 standards, ...

Let\\\\\\\'s just get ourselves together so we know how many of us are here. From here we can utilize this forum. Also let us thank Cebrion for giving us this chance! Happy

Do you actually plan to ...

Well, for the second week in a row, none of the options posted here work for me.

My guess, after looking at the chat network status data, is that the problems you are encountering are coming from t ...

The main sticking point is that anything you post there you cannot publish yourself, even if it specifically doesn't contain anybody else's IP. I'd say that pretty much means you are giving up rights ...

OK, now that I have the magazine, here's a breakdown of the Tamoachan bits:

Savage Tide Spoiler Warning!
If you haven't played through this adventure yet, you might want to skip past this post!

Ii Nedraw is obviously an homage to Jim Ward and MA, there's no question.

However, like 99% of similar anagrammatical homages and references in greyhawk material, it should probably be nothing more ...

While I agree that poster maps would be preferable, especially considering the scale of Castle Greyhawk compared to Castle Ravenloft, the current format wouldn't stop me from buying the product.

I ...

Honestly, did you really expect any different?

The purpose of the material in Dungeon is to fluff up the adventure path, not develop greyhawk. The Olman play no real part in the AP, so they will be ...

they are in their home turf and should have the advantage.

Ok, but that advantage should come from ambushes, fortifications, and mastery of the traps the Dwarves built. Not from breaking the rule ...

Kobolds, as presented in the current edition of D&D at least, are every bit as intelligent as humans. Their average INT is 10, and when played as a PC, they recieve no penalty to their INT score. Aver ...

If you ask me, Greyhawk doesn't need an asian realm. Looking at the two major settings that have, so far, attempted to shoehorn every possible real world cultural analogy on to their globe, the result ...

Coming in from a completely different angle, DMGII presents an advanced writeup of the town of Saltmarsh in remote southern Keoland, complete with nifty map. The town is intended as a jumping off poi ...

Since one Canonfiree has a platinum "Club Mona" card, that offers admittance into the pages of Dungeon without the usual background check, drug test and body cavity search, I'd suggest a Dungeon art ...

A more southern origin for the Olman is not a problem in my book. You even have Sam(The Corn King)'s, approval. Wink

Why not offer up a "reading" of canon that holds otherwise that would explai ...

So now that the hooplah over Rich's ideas has died down, let me correct all of you and explain where the Olman really came from. Happy

There is a pretty nice patch of grasslands just south of th ...

Something Chatdemon and I were discussing at the Greychat last night was David Howry's Hepmonaland/pseudo-Africa article in Dragon 189, complete with full color map.

I've never been all that inte ...

I wonder why Chatdemon is so determined to make the Olman origin, the Pomarj and throw "canon" out the window, when his ideas, which are very good, can easily be placed in the context of canon simpl ...

Dragon Mountain has some serious design issues, mainly related to the use of Kobolds to challenge 10th level + PCs. What is at first an attempt at a Tucker's Kobolds scenario, and may have actually be ...

Remember unlike other Demi-human battles where the humanoids escape and over time recover the Lortmil were subject to a sustained organized "genocidal" effort above and below ground on a scale never ...

Personally, I like CD's Mystoerth Map better than the Dragon Annual Map, which I found to be kinda dull (Nippon? Sigh. Yawn.), and small. If I were in charge, I'd make Mystoerth "canon" in the the n ...

And the relationship between Zuggtmoy, Lolth, Iuz, and St. Cuthbert that underpins a lot of the story is hard to replicate.

Iuz could be easily replaced by Cyric, St. Cuthbert by Helm. The whol ...

Snipping the off topic nonsense.

Does this somehow add something to the conversation that I'm missing?

Now, now chatdemon.
If you are going to talk about ignoring canon then do it. Don't take half steps and expect the flaws you leave to be ignored.

You need to reread the article, which I factchec ...

Also, in email on GreyTalk I asked about the possibility of reciprocating message board posts and listserv (or something like it) emails. Even if this isn't possible with PHPBB, if you know how to do ...

any feedback is apreciated, whether it be a review of the flavor text, comments on the spells, or what have you.

The spells are pretty nice, the only thing that would make me even happier with ...

In order to prevent confusion when reading articles or posts here on CF, and especially while chatting at GreyTalk chat, there's one important point to remember. Unless otherwise stated and cited, not ...

Yeah, them and Creighton Broadhurst. ButI`m sure they will agree.
We can also try to update that index then.

Check the credits on that article. Creighton and chatdemon, the latter of whom I c ...

Here's an idea, how about actually treating the Olmans and their real world source cultures with a little dignity and respect? It's bad enough that Sean Reynolds had to paint the entire Olman culture ...

they should have a section on canonfire for greyhawk pbp games :D

We've floated the offer before. If you have a game and need a forum for it, just ask. I can create it in the Special Projects and H ...

Some additional disjointed thoughts:

The Yeomanry and Keoland are dead set against slavery, that has been their bone to pick with the Sea Princes all these years.

Well, Keoland's beef with the ...

I just got my issue of DUNGEON, and I found the little blurb about the new GREYHAWK MAPS in future issues of the Mag. Absoluelty titilating!

If they could get the guys who do the FR maps these ...

Two reasons:

1) Supp 2: Blackmoor was actually produced before Supp 1: Greyhawk. Check the dates in the original printings to confirm this.

2) Supp 2: Blackmoor contains an adventure, an early v ...

This originally started in the "Canonfire! & GreyTalk Help and Feedback" section as a poll suggestion. Then a Canonfire administrator turned it into a poll for me. Then it was moved by an administra ...

Nice work!

I really like the idea of dropping hints about details while still leaving things ambiguous. Let's a DM use the material whether she agrees with this take on canon or not, since it's als ...

Worse even than the return of Tharizdun himself, these musings have awakened the sleeping evil behind Canonfire! that is Taras!
Shocked

Be afraid!
