Browsing through the Best of AOL downloads on Canonfire I was stunned to see my old AOL handle (Lefto) in there. Happy

I don’t remember the post, cause…30 years ago. I was much more a lurker t ...

The reduce spell is more complicated in some ways. The spell description says “A shrinking object may damage weaker materials affixed to it.” One could read that to mean that a shrinking object canno ...

The spell description says “all equipment worn or carried by a creature is enlarged by the spell.”

I infer from this that the magic cannot discriminate between parts of an object. So my answer is n ...

What happened to the links to GH blogs on the home page? Those were quite useful.

WGM1 Border Watch is set in Furyondy just after the Wars.

There is WGM1 Border Watch, set shortly after the Wars. Not sure if that is a “classic” module…

Any word on when the next volume is coming out? Been awfully quiet on here and was hoping that material is being saved for Visions.

Finally worked for me, and it’s great so far. The artwork in particular is outstanding.

I can see Volume 2 on the Visions page but can’t access it.

That is the first descriptive of the Vaukt in GDQ1-7. I’ve always read this as exaggeration for effect. I could imagine in a later module Gygax adding after it, “or so you thought!” After all, Gygax ...

Nice work! Design is great. Editing looked really good and the substance is really interesting.

Thought Knights of Eventide was particularly choice.

I would think some nations may make the Soave trade illegal but permit the ownership of slaves.

The golden skull is described as a “key” and a “tool for men to wield” (see poem on p. 44). My impression was that it was created to aid in the creation of the elemental gates and nodes, to maintain t ...

Reading that passage again, doesn’t it imply that the sharp check to Lolth occurred BEFORE the initial rise of the Temple? The sharp check to Lolth is the reason Zuggtmoy agrees to partner with Iuz i ...

Yeah, was just bad editing on TSR’s part. They should have revised the secret history of the temple to eliminate those references to GDQ or revised them to make them fit the timeline contemplated in t ...

Yeah, I wish they had provided more clarity on this, even if they didn’t provide numbers. For example, the Principality of Ulek has 30k dwarves capable of fighting, which means it must have more than ...

If the PC is a priest if St. Cuthbert, then I would think her standing with her god would demonstrate whether she acted rightly.

Either way, I agree with edmundscott that the Church will have a re ...

Kron Hills - 20k gnomes WOG boxed set p. 49
Glorioles- 10k+ mountain dwarves WOG boxed set p. 53

P. 18 notes that population numbers for Demi-humans and humanoids in the nation-by-nation section a ...

When I decided my dwarf PC would establish a stronghold, I obtained divinations from clerics of Moradin, Berronar, Clangeddin, Dumathoin and Abathor (back in 1e days when any priest could cast divinat ...

I can’t help but wonder why Skip didn’t provide map coordinates. Oh well.

Darkshelf is a coastal town. It is just east of the Pelyra River, which flows in the sea of gearnatt. The quarry is 3 mil ...

That helps explain why the oeridians have a god of the oceans. If they came from the area that is now Ull, as the 83 gazetteer seemed to suggest, I was baffled for why one of the few oeridian greater ...

Did the oeridians come from that far west? Is there a canon source for that? I thought that was the case but then could never find a source for that thought.

An old thread but a fascinating subject.

Greyhawk is fantastic for incorporating moral ambiguities. I recall Gygax mentioning someplace that Prince Thrommel was kidnapped by the Scarlet Brotherhoo ...

Who runs the risk of constitution loss? The scroll maker or the scroll reader? Or both?

If it was only the scroll reader, that might explain a Boneheart mage writing scrolls for others.

I alw ...

Yes indeed. In fact the 1st ed DMG uses that as an example - a 15 lvl wizard wants make a ring of spell storing and needs permanency and wish spells, neither of which she can cast. Never noticed that ...

The Create thassalos spell in FtA says that to create a lesser thassalos requires a 14th level mage to cast, among other things, permanency. But only 16+ level mages can cast permanency, an 8th level ...

Have you decided on a purpose for the secret symbols? That could help inform which archdecil would be best suited to this scheme.

Not exactly a celebrity, but Haesten from the Last Kingdom seems to fit well.

Have Fionor serve a dinner of utterly disgusting “delicacies” a la Indiana Jones and Temple of Doom. If the players know Fionor is as surly as his reputation makes him, would be fun to watch them try ...

Did Postfest ever get posted? I can’t seem to find any of the Underdark posts.

In Iuz the Evil, the notation after Xenvelen’s AC (on p.89) says that he has “unique magical armor” but the entry never actually describes it. Anyone know if there was an errata that filled this hole? ...

Hi, I forgot my password, though ultimately was able to retrieve by checking saved passwords on my old iPad. Wanted to pass along that I tried the password reset process multiple times and never recei ...

I recall Gygax saying in one of his online Q&As that Nyrond was behind the Scarlet Brotherhood’s abduction of Thrommel. So a Nyrondese lord killing some Urnst nobles doesn’t seem crazy.

I don’t think the common soldiers would know what happened inside the temple, but rumors would certainly fly through an army and there would probably be as many versions of the story as there were sol ...
