The question really is why did they do this type of thing for Greyspace, but yet Realmspace never?

Well, Gygax referenced the age old idea of geocentricity, for whatever reason. Likewise, for w ...

To muse a bit on Maldin's statements about lack of a unifying theory and whether we need to explain why physics works or doesnt work as it does on Earth.

The concept of a divine being managing and ...

As noted on the map itself, Mystoerth's concept was created by James Mischler, but I (aka chatdemon) produced that finished version of it.

I did consider expanding it and adding other settings, but ...

I agree with Maldin.

It's often speculated that the passages in the Folio and Box Set that deal with geocentricty are 'in character' and thus fallible, but that theory is never applied to any of th ...

I really worry about anyone who can't have fun without chemical aid...

FYI,

Fred used to go by the online handle Psyclops (or some variant spelling of that), so if you run across articles under that name in the AOL best of collections or whatever, that's Fred's stuff ...

So if I wanted to take a non-GH 1e mod, update it to 3.5e, rewrite it to be GH-specific, and post it to CF that would be okay?

Basically, yes. The conversion document must require the use of the or ...

(ooc- Skarch isnt in any hurry, and those trying to do so can probably catch up to her or spot her pretty easy, unless DM rules otherwise due to conditions in the street)

Based on the fact that most, if not all material concerning Lolth and her minions and realm in AD&D2e and D&D3e is at least somewhat based on the FR version of her, I think it's safe to assume ...

Discussing LG scenarios is fine here. Posting reviews of them, either on the forum or in the reviews database, is also fine. Posting summaries of the plotlines or summaries of any interesting canon bi ...

No, the files are fine (its a database actually), the problem is the size. The archive alone is much bigger than the entire canonfire website, and well exceeds the current disc space CF has to work wi ...

Skarch heads off to the "back door" to the city, to wait and see if anyone shows up.

Skarch slinks back away from the tent flap a bit, and nods a bit at the bard's words. "Him box big magic, me no like.", she muses, reflecting on the info gleaned from the detect magic she just cast."Y ...

(OOC - Skarch is lurking around outside the tent, chatting briefly with the departing goblins and keeping an eye on folk entering an dleaving the tent.)

Skarch looks toward the Crimson Bard and spe ...

Skarch eyes the hooded man carefully, then turns a glance toward where the absent barkeep should be.

"Trubble comin here soon, me feel it. Lissen, if me hearin' ya right, ya want in da city. well m ...

Skarch watches magnus hesitantly as he drifts into the corner. "Bes' way keep a secret here is pretend it ain' one. Ya hoomans keep skulkin about wif dem Euroz lookin fer who it were put their chief i ...

"Only pain round here come from dem hoomans wif da shovels an picks. Dem make big city, an dig deep in the rock. Da rock is angry, Euroz feel da rock's angry, but dem doan know it, so dey angry too. M ...

Skarch studies the horse for a moment longer, before nodding to Grakniir and scurrying back to the goblins, one of whom gives her the small cask he's been sitting on in return for a handful of coins. ...

"Me Skarch, dotter of Avrak, of the rotclaw tribe..." Skarch mutters absently, her attention temporarily drawn to the huge beast following Rognor.

Skarch looks up at Grakniir caustiously, crossing her fingers as she speaks in rough common.

"New here? Hadda tell ya, dem Euroz here say da hooman piss in da beer. No good for ya! Ya come drink wi ...

A bit of a commotion rises from one side of the tent, where a half dozen or so goblins sit crouched around what appears to be some sort of dice game. Closeby, a rather ugly little xvart dressed in rat ...

She's never been mentioned in any Greyhawk or even generic source. Of course, she could show up in Greyhawk if you really wanted her to, but I can't think of a situation where she would be needed or a ...

I stand corrected Embarassed

Well, published GH material is probably what misleads people, since the case is made in post-gygax material for the EEG being tharizdun. Return to the Temple of Elemental ...

Yo, I'm Rich, aka chatdemon. Been playing D&D since around 1980, when I was introduced to it by some of the guys at school (I was in the 3rd grade at the time). Played random Basic D&D games u ...

Holian and I discussed Alran as a potential "pre-sasserine" in chat one night, and we agreed that since Alran wasn't detailed beyond the passing reference in LGG's Yeomanry entry, it is as good as any ...

First, I don't know of any assistant writers working under EGG's direction for Castle Zagyg proper; perhaps there is some confusion regarding those designers working on the Yggsburgh town module serie ...

There is no evidence, however, that Keoland has ever controlled all of the Hold of the Sea Princes.

Um, now that I look back, your own citations prove you wrong:

Living Greyhawk Journal No. 1, p ...

The main reason I don't recommend OSRIC is the fact that it is, for all intents and purposes, AD&D 1st edition. IMO, if you want to play AD&D1e, AD&D1e does the job quite well. Laughing

...

I have to agree with Sam here, there is simply no doubt in my mind that Keoland controlled the Hold before the rise of the Sea Prince and his chums.

Remember, the Sea Princes are not, as the Sasser ...

If you don't mind a (free) pdf only product, check out BFRPG (Basic Fantasy Role Playing Game).

It is written in a style very close to Basic/Expert D&D, but separates the classes and races, and ...

The contradictions between Chenault and Gygax's statements on that ENWorld thread baffle me.

Chenault says 13 modules, Gygax says 18. Chenault says 2 box sets, Gygax says no way. Chenault says that ...

Imprisonment is generally used only to hold people for trial, or for high ranking or high publicity prisoners. It is also generally restricted to cities, smaller settlements not having the resources ...

I think the issue is that the local people think she MIGHT be Zahindi but she is, in fact, Olman.

Well, the real issue is more likely the fact that very few Sterish folk will even know what an Olma ...
