Evil characters needn't all kick puppies..

I'm pretty sure that it states this as a requirement in the DMG!:D

For me, moral quandaries are something that grow, organically, out of the game. Su ...

There is also the excellent Restenford Project blog. It hasn't been updated for a while but it has some excellent articles about what exact ...

I am 51.

I have been playing since 1981, when I was 12 years old.

SirXaris

Ha! I started at the same time as Sir Xaris. But I'm older! My players are all mid-twenties to early thir ...

In 5e, familiar's are described as celestials/fey/fiends in the form of a creature. So, for me, I think they are likely to be much longer lived than their 'masters'. Instead of being some cute kitty-k ...

My take on this is that, historically, empires normally stop expanding due to issues with either manpower or politics. Normally both. Or they stop expanding in one particular direction because there a ...

Out of curiosity, what was the druid's alignment?

Yes, he was neutral. He had other issues too! :)

One of the players in my campaign was a Lizardman Druid. he always chopped lumps off of any kills in order to stock up on provisions, regardless of what/who it was.

His justification was that it wa ...

Get rid of universal literacy. Reading & writing should be restricted to Clerics, Wizards, Monks & the more forward-thinking Nobles!

{{{ applause }}}

I’m sure that I am the one that can handle infinite wishes for the common good ;-) ...

Seems reasonable to me!
:D

A god that gifts mortals with a curled stick...

What, like this one you mean?

Nice!

As for me, it would be as follows:-

Q1. What is your favorite realm or region in the World of Greyhawk setting?

The Wild Coast. So many factions/powers facing off across the Woolly Bay ...

I agree, this is very cool &, more importantly, useful! I can see myself using this a lot. Good work!

I imagine the Sea Princes conflict paralleling real-world nations that simply fall into decades of unrest and war.

Likewise, now that the Brotherhood has toppled the navel powers of the southe ...

Hi evelyn. Welcome aboard. I used to go to actual, real-world bingo with an ex. It wasn't really my cup of tea but she liked the bingo & I liked the cheap meals. So it worked for both of us! For a ...

But, considering the size of the place, nobody is going to attack City of Greyhawk.

Certainly not in an all-out assault, but don't forget, in the real world, the Rus launched several raids against ...

Each of the Star Cairns has a dolmen-like entrance but, being Suel in origin, I guess these would be considered mock-dolmens. Although they are constructed along leylines, the look & feel is a sty ...

Yeah, I think we're meant to assume that Liga appears the same size in Oerth's sky as Earth's sun appears from Earth, and somebody just didn't do the math.

I have to agree. I've been plugging some ...

The above all relates to Luna, I should have mentioned. For Celene they would be very much rarer. And to get both moons eclipsing at the same time. Well...

I think making them rarer is more interesting.

Well, that's a request that's easy enough to oblige. Going back to Oerth Journal #3, Roger Moore states the circumference of Oerth as roughly 25,200 ...

The only canon note on eclipses appears in TAB under the description of the festivals.

Do we regard Spelljammer as canon? If so then in Greyspace it states that Luna & Celene are both in the ...

Thank'ee! Duly noted. :)

Hi Ralf!

Welcome aboard. Your post made me realise that I have never introduced myself here!

Prefer not to give too many personal details but I am in the UK & started playing in the early 19 ...

There is some Druidy stuff in the back story for "The Standing Stone". It is non-specific in location but I have put it in the Suss Forest & some of the description in the module suits this.

Th ...

It might be awkward if you look at it from that perspective but, speaking as a wargamer, it doesn't seem so strange to me. In fantasy wargames campaigns (well, the ones I've played in at least) it is ...

I haven't run it but I bought it a couple of years ago & have been keeping it in my back pocket. Even if you don't run the adventure there is some good content in there, interesting NPCs, a table ...

I think there's precedent for restricting electrum pieces to ancient ruins and antique vaults if you prefer the 'realism' of that.

Slightly at a tangent but ancient coinage is one of my fav ...

Kirt's summary is pretty good. The only missing item for me is player support. It's a lot easier for new players to get hold of a copy of the 5E rules (they are available as a free download from the W ...

My Greyhawk is quite a grim, low money, low magic place but I find that the odd bit of well-placed silliness helps to lighten the mood & stop it from just being a grind.

My personal favourite w ...

Wastri! RIBBET!

For inspiration, check out the movie Kung Fu Hustle, where the big bad uses 'toad style' martial arts. A perfect template for Wastri.

Since that time, Iuz has always protected himself with a carefully secreted soul gem hidden on an unknown, unbelievably well-guarded Abyssal plane.

Apropos of nothing & somewhat off-topic for t ...

I've been using a small, framework adventure that I picked up on DriveThruRPG to do exactly this sort of thing. The adventure is called "Brutal Imperilment In The Bag of Infinite Holding". You can pic ...

Hmm, Iron seems to be a notable absentee from the list. Perhaps it is only exported in the form of finished goods? Irongate & the Iron Hills would seem the most likely candidate as a primary expor ...

I haven't actually read it myself, but the Ravenloft supplement The Nightmare lands, might have some useful stuff in it as that is all about dreams &, err, nightmares.

Hi Emongnome,

I am currently running A0 - A1 for my group & I am going to be using the Tarrasque. In my mind the Tarrasque & the Earth Dragon are one & the same thing. It's just that ov ...

Hi All,

Long time reader (& borrower of ideas!), first time poster!

I think that social media stuff is a bit like fast food. Grab a bite when you're hungry but it's soon forgotten. Whereas C ...
