Ceb,

Sent you the full edited file. No white space on page 30 it includes a poem by a Rhen Bard. Thanks to Artimage I realized its not edited correctly. Forget the file it still needs to be updated ...

So Laura becomes the first two time champion and she had two people in the final and either of them could of won it.

I don't understand why they decided to duplicate your version. It has nothing to do with Greyhawk. Yet it still has the download section and submission guidelines.

The blog site was transferred to me. Then was renamed to the following http://oerthjournal-canonfirechronicles.blogspot.com/ Looks like someone took the old name and created their own blog.

Heya Argon!
Oh Argon, I have done a slight write up on Leahcim if you'd be interested in reading it :)

Yes, I would be interested in reading it.

Never heard of On Demand or DVR?

Lanthorn you need to watch that episode and see how well Laura's team performed.

Rayce's team deserved the win. We'll see what this season brings.

Like I said WoTC won't publish anything new for Greyhawk. Instead they will shoe horn it into another setting. That speaks volumes for me. Its obvious that the decision makers feel Greyhawk material i ...

This should be renamed the Lanthorn and Argon Thread.

Rayce, Anthony, and Laura each have a team of five contestants that is part of their team. They are to mentor the contestants in fabrication and make up. They are not making anything themselves.

It started Tuesday. Your favorite contestant is now a mentor on the show.

I never even heard of the show or the books. Though I'm not a big vampire fan, especially since Twilight was written. Though I enjoyed Interview with a Vampire both the book and the movie.

Yeah,

The only outcome that makes sense to me is a Keoland victory. The Scarlet Brotherhood may have won the battle but Keoland is better suited to win the War. An eventual Keoland victory makes th ...

I liked them all for different reasons. Neville's was the closet to feeling like chess pieces. I Like Glenn' as well though Roy's fabricating skills are great as well.

I'm watching it right now. Alice in Wonderland theme lets see how it all works out.

One of the founders of our hobby and one of the most unsung contributors to Dungeons & Dragons, Len Lakofka has passed away at the age of 76. Along with the many adventures, classes, spells, and rules he created, Len was also father of the Suel in Greyhawk, designer of their gods, and namesake of the Lendore Isles. The value of his work goes without saying, but his presence will be sorely missed. The adventures of Leomund go on.
