Another vote for Enstad and for Stoink.

First time I've been through here in a while, but have to say I'm Glad ( Laughing

) I did!
It's been years since I drew anything of note, and I have to say these are tremendous works, and - as others ha ...

Fighters can read!? Shocked

There's every chance that an inexperienced player, or someone playing an inexperienced character, wouldn't know who Bigby is. Given that Bigby was something of a reclu ...

I love the 1e DMG, and for all the reasons given - the Harlot Chart went down a storm from the moment I first used it, but we were teenagers back then! Laughing

But I also liked these items:-

Ge ...

I tend to go with the idea that the NPC stays until with the PC indefinitely...or until the DM determines that said follower wishes to branch out on his own, for whatever reason - be it a wish for ind ...

I'd be interested. I've played fantasy sports for four years now, and am involved in way too many baseball leagues and dynasties already.

I prefer Yahoo or ESPN for fantasy sports, but I have playe ...

The Lost City is supposed to have been built upon an even older city site, as there are said to be weird, pre-Suel ruins there. I have pegged these ruins as the site of an ancient city of the sepentf ...

Nice article.

Just seeing the name "Ghazal" reminds me of Gazal, the 'lost city' in the Conan the Adventurer tale Drums of Tombalku (if you know it, you'll recognise my username Wink

), which al ...

Love the new website, Anna! The maps are beautiful. Smile

Well it looks like *someone* looked at the calendar, saw it was CY(insert number), and figured ~ "Well, if Robilar was 15th (or 19th) level back then, in the interveing years he would have climbed to. ...

I don't see any reason why elves ships shouldn't/can't be of markedly better design and efficiency - both speed and firepower - than human vessels. Their main drawback is obviously the lack of numbers ...

By the way, the stats for Robilar in the Rogues Gallery are correct.

Although Rob later stated that Robilar was in fact 19th level, and had 117HP, no? Can't recall where I read that, but I think it ...

Oh, scratch that last bit ~ I just read further down the post! Embarassed

IIRC, Gygax gave a very detailed description of the early years of CG in "Founding Greyhawk: The Creation and Development of the GREYHAWK Campaign, 1972-75" in Dragon Annual #2. The article clearly me ...

*hissss* Mort...! Mort...! *hawwwrrrrrr* I know what you're getting for Christmas!! *hisssshawwrrrr*

Mort! *hissssss* I have felt your presence...!

I'll have to remember to try and not read that article this early in the morning ~ my head is spinning already! Shocked

I'd say your numbers are pretty good, and accurate. One could perhaps say that settlements such as Hocholve, though a predominantly-elven town in hte Hornwood, could have been the location of many hig ...

Amalric: Thanks! I'm always glad to get comments from new readers who are catching up. Have any favorite characters?

Has to be the Cultists ~ classic comedy duo! But they all have their moments. I ...

The TSR adventure Return of the Eight, #9576 edited by Roger Moore, provides a detailed description of Tenser's tower, inclduing rooms, occupants, history, etc. It also gives a brief description of th ...

These are quite brilliant, mortellan! Laughing

I just wasted...I mean, "usefully spent"...half an hour reading through a fair number of them. Excellent work!

I just read this, an article on the historical context of elves up to and including Tolkien, on the Lord of the Rings Plaza (www.lotrplaza.com), written by one of my fellow senior members. I just thou ...

Re: Celene

As I recall, there was a description of some of the interior of the Royal Palace of Enstad and a little insight to the elves of the royal court in the Gord the Rogue book Artifact of Ev ...

Add in the fact that they can interact with legends like Mordenkainen, Tenser, Robilar, et al

Yes they can but it is not necessary, unlike FR setting if playing on an Epic scale. Nonetheless if p ...

LOL!

Very good indeed. I laughed from the first paragraph to the last ~ it's just the sort of [s]trashy rag[/s] informative and vital newspaper I would expect of the Free City. Wink

There are not 5 bullet points, only two:

*Background

*Characters

I'd have to agree with that summation. All you really have to say to your players is:-

Background ~ "This is where it all b ...

Because all halflings are thieves, and one always needs one of them. Just nip down to Elmshire and holler, and they'll come a-runnin'!

Gnomes are like dwarves, only smaller and cleaner.

1. G1-3 Against the Giants. I worked it around a bit, took out some of the obvious magic items (flaming swords to fight frost giants, frost sword to fight fire giants, etc) and worked in a few other t ...

For the sake of ease, I'll jump right in here! Smile

It must be almost 20 years since I last played AD&D, or RP of any sort for that matter. I started way back in 1979, and played 1e. for so ...
