Re: The Dreamer-Minstrel and others - Quasi Deities of Oerth (Score: 1)

(User Info | Send a Message) http://merricb.com | Actually, they're people on the Unlimited Adventures mailing list, who helped me with my GHR project. (Unlimited Adventures is the SSI computer game that allows you to create your own 1E computer games using the Gold Box system).
Maureen & Ray Dyer have converted many old classics of AD&D for the UA system, including a truly memorable conversion of the Temple of Elemental Evil.

Xavier = Anthony Xavier Hughes, who created the item hacking program I used.
Kitty = Vixen Kitty, the pen name of a certain drowic female who's given much support. :)
Shameron is the PC of Dan Autery, one of the greats of the FRUA community, who was EIC of the UANL for more issues than I like to think of, and is one of the nicest people I've met online - alas, we've not heard from him for over a year.
Kaviyd is the pen name of David Knott, king among UA hackers, and creator of UAshell, without which none of my changes to the program could have been made.
When I was designing the GHR hack (GHR=Greyhawk Realms, btw), I decided to include the names of these people in special items (e.g. Boots of Shamaron, Rod of Kaviyd, etc.) and requested some of them to create the description of some personage in Greyhawk; others I wrote up myself.
The results are what you see in this article, which I originally released in UANL #26, back a couple of years ago. Looking around for further Greyhawk material to submit to Canonfire, I thought it might be appropriate, and certainly some of the characters have some strong adventure ideas tied to them.
In my personal Greyhawk campaign, as yet no PC has met one of these personages; Cirrem can be found in my uncompleted short story "The Portal and the Golem", which is definitely set in my current campaign.

Shamaron is almost certainly venerated around the area of the village of Skytree, where my campaign was once set.

And though I've yet to use Kaviyd, I really should... :)
Cheers,
