I think I'm going to finally get up to Lake Geneva next year. I've heard nothing but good things about GaryCon :)

With the first D&D movie being terrible, and the second and third being direct-to-video/SyFy Channel (but better than the first), I would question whether D&D is considered a viable movie prop ...

Well first its a tournament module written in 04 for Recon 04.

I guess any reason for not getting the names of places and events right works, huh? And placing the temple of a goddess of the enemy w ...

Chapeaux, of course Wink

Seriously, though, I can see Wee Jas as the winner.

I dunno about Ravenloft, though... g ...

Long time reader, first time poster, etc. I really enjoy this site, it brings back great memories of how it felt discovering the classic Greyhawk boxed set back in the 80s.

So, I've been searching ...

I think he probably meant Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil, which by all accounts was pretty dire. :)

Just as a heads-up, Mortellan, your History of Greyhawk strip is a featured link on Nodwick.com :)

I'm rusty on how it works in old-school AD&D, but I do know that in Castles and Crusades, the Protection from Normal Missiles spell does pretect against *one* large-scale attack before disappearin ...

In my experience, virtually all Greyhawk fans pronounce the name of the world like "Orth." Given that Dragon #93 says that Oeridian is pronounced O-ridian, that seems reasonable. The Dragon articl ...

Just for fun, I did a calculation of the potential damage. It came to a whopping 71448 points of damage -- assuming all the damage was d6.

Who let Waldorf back in? Laughing

I have looked in all of my sources, and I am at a brick wall. Only thing I think I could use for them is Blues which are a race of blue psionic goblins. So what to do with Raxivort then? Can anyone cl ...

Joseph -- another triumph. This one really is a thinking man's level, with a large number of NPCs and monsters (even the grumblegrumblegrumble flumphs :P ) not meant to fall to the swords of a kill-ha ...

Unless people at Wizbro have gone completely nuts, this can mean only two things:

1. DI users will sooner or later get access to a digital library of earlier editions.

Possible. My own thoughts ...

Sadly, Grognardia has announced that the news is accurate. At least he had one more day :(

Now what do you?

My short answer is, sad to say -- nothing. Trying to corral all of those PDFs being traded is like the farcical notion of some that the US Government can confiscate all guns when ...

Nematode,

As far as I can tell there is no profit in putting D&D ebooks up on torrents other than the fact that you can do it.

I don't think this is an organized operation for profit kind of ...

These endless threads from users with little or no posting history here proclaiming the greatness of TLG products are very tiresome.

And the responses from people who use the criteria of post count ...

Pat Payne is right. WoTC does not have to defend its copyrights (ie Greyhawk). It might have a certain obligation to defend its trademarks, but I don't think Greyhawk is a trademark,

Actually, it ...

The terms Greyhawk, Flanaess and other copyrighted/trade marked terms have been used for many years by fans, and is part of the concept of fair use.
Stargate is a copyrighted term and the names Col ...

Originally within the setting to become proficent encouraged single class characters. Multi-classes were possible but rare. As the editions have continued this decision as been lost as most players ...

Generally, how I handle resurrection, is this way. When you die in Greyhawk, your soul goes to the Plane of Shadow as a sort of purgatory. For a period of time (say, a day/level) your soul wanders. ...

Ah, you are correct. RJK's Castle Maure was for EGG to play in. Although, according to RJK's bibliography, some of the material was used in the second version of GH.

In particular, I could see t ...

oh, btw, does the scarlet b. reallly looked like blond "shaolin monks", like the miniature from d&d minis?

Some of them -- the SB is pretty much made up, in its higher echelons, of monks and ...

Well,

Thanks DMPrata. I don't have access to this yet (gah!). How well does it 'click' with GH lore?

From what I've seen of the module so far, quite well. EGG and Jeff Talanian tried to make ...

If it were possible:

I'd go with the '83 boxed set, ToEE, Scourge of the Slavelords, Queen of the Spiders, The LGG, Iuz the Evil and Greyhawk Adventures.

Even if you don't use Psionics in your game, or allow them normally, there's no reason you can't use them as a DM.

I dunno...my own gut feeling is, outside of something like a Mind Flayer, giving t ...

The Church of Pholtus would be the most vehement in this aspect, IMO. There MIGHT be a little wiggle room in favor of the thief for both the fact he has to feed his family (UNLESS this was in the Pale ...

Someone ambitious might be able to do something with the Maures, who apparently have links to the Urnst states as well as a lineage running back to the Suel Imperium...

Pretty good readin'. Alot more deaths than I expected. But I guess this is nearing the end of LG so why not? Glodreddi had it coming, I was surprised they didn't throw a party for his demise. Smile

Rasgon has it.
If the game continues, as a DM I would never allow the ex-paladin to atone.

That's definetly in the works. His returning to paladinhood is on very thin ice right now, and so this S ...

Hey, everybody:

If this is the wrong forum for this, I apologize. I wanted to ask everybody's help, because I'm having paladin problems which also impinge on the interpretation of a Greyhawk deity. ...

Exremely well done!

One thing though -- I thought the Baklunish were more Middle-Easternish as opposed to Chinese.

I asked about C&C previously, now I am curious about Hackmaster. I have looked into this previously and it appears to be 1e AD&D rules with some changes.

Actually, it's pretty much AD& ...

An off-the-wall, but perhaps not completely implausible explanation:

These unloved campaign worlds could flourish if WotC would lease their license to a 3rd party.

Not gonna happen, IronGolem, as much as I would dearly love for it to. Ha$bro probably won't allow it, ...

I loved that line "...which is unusual in the Free City, where corruption is overt, expected and budgeted." Laughing

Creighton,

Wow. This one is chock-a-block of stuff that I can't wait to use in my ongoing EttRoG/Maure Castle campaign. I doff my spangenhelm to the good people at OJ.

Second, I would propose that all gamers everywhere at your next game session, raise a toast to E. Gary Gygax.

A toast sounds like a great idea. Also in honor of EGG, I'm putting aside the EttRG ca ...

I'll note that Bilarro is also the name of the former ruling house of Highport, as referenced in Slavers.

The 4th Edition rules emphasize faster game play, offer exciting new character options

In my cynical eye, this means that the WoW-ization of D&D continues apace. Crunch is favored over charac ...

Welcome Pat_Payne! And Cebrion is right, Canon, and who gets to write it is the bad penny of the site sometimes. Some of us make biblical scholars look like apathetic slackers.

Maybe it would help to explore the origin of the term "canon." It doesn't quite mean "the one true continuity as laid out by the creators/rightsholders -- all else is unauthorized and not to be used a ...
