So very perfect.

i find having a certaint amount of fantasy realism to be important for the overall consistency for the players. If encounters are constantly scaled for the players then the PCs will not feel any sens ...

I know that with technology limited it is quite hard to build bridges spanning huge rivers...

I'm not sure how canon Ivid the Undying is considered, but I remember it being mentioned there that the ...

On the roleplaying side, he's given me a quarter-page background and description.... Confused

Actually, I prefer short backgrounds, as long as they are well-written. There's only so much informa ...

Anced_Math:

And rather than worry about it getting out hand and having to control it, I make things clear from the start. I am running a heroic or task based campaign. I expect the players to have ...

Thanks for the information.

Excellent.

Is work on this underway? If so, when can we expect it?

It has been a very long time, but I seem to remember that 1E AD&D had a rule to cover this. It read something like: "Victims who are unconscious or otherwise helpless may be trussed and slain in one r ...

I'm not your DM, but even if I were, I still wouldn't be able to answer this question before the fact. It would all depend on how the character handled the situation. She's not lawful, so I don't thin ...

Good drama I say.

Oh good God, we need less drama. Laughing

I think we must be the biggest collection of drama queens and drama kings to ever hit a gaming table. I'm starting to refer to our base ...

The bottom line when it comes to poison I my mind is that good aligned characters face their enemies rather than be sneaky and underhanded.

By this same reasoning, a good aligned thief would not be ...

This is exactly why I don't use alignments. How can a character who specializes in sneaking up behind people and stabbing them in the back have a moral dilemna over the use of poison? It would seem to ...

Gentlemen and Ladies (Tedra)

I have a question for, in a very low magic campaign such as Greyhawk often sees, where mages and magic items (probably excluding potions) are a rare and wonderful thing ...

I'm not sure how it applies to Greyhawk, but Elbereth Gilthonial was the Valar who created the stars in Tolkien's works.

I actually asked this question recently on this forum. That thread is here:

If you are looking for smaller cities and don't mind searching ebay and such for out of print supplements, the Thieves' World box set is an excellent supplement. The AD&D stats in it are first edition ...

Thank you, grodog. I actually just ordered Dragon 290 and 291 the other day, for the Death Knight articles. I just have this strange feeling that is where the references to Schandor appear.

I'm looking for more information on the Aerdi mage Schandor. Aside from the details of him setting up the legal system of Aerdy in Ivid the Undying, I cannot find any references. Can anyone point me t ...

Those who really want to know more about GH will go the extra distance, to Living Greyhawk, to Dungeon or buying the OOP stuff.

That view of GH players likely had something to do with the decision. ...

Well, that's rather an oversimplification, too. The norse influence is pretty strong; arguably stronger than the celtic. And the intermediary of tolkein's few dark elves (like Eol and Maeglin) shou ...

The Drow (a Gygax creation in Greyhawk)

The drow are derived from Celtic myths. They are no more a Gygax creation than dwarves or halflings.

I've already looked at the Nyrond stuff. I even attempted looking at the LG stuff for Ahlissa, but since I don't read german that was pretty fruitless. I'll probably end up going with something simila ...

I have never seen anything official (or unofficial) on rank titles. I think your best bet would be to take the unit composition info from Ivid the Undying and base a rank structure on the different ty ...

I am wondering if there has ever been an article or supplement that detailed the military ranks in use in the Great Kingdom or Ahlissa. In particular, I'm curious about the Glorioles Army and the Army ...

You know, I just could not bring myself to stay away from this topic. Here's a quote from my bio on another forum. Elminster reminds me of that one person you know that has to shove their character ...

Not sure where all else they're written about, but the Knights of the Swan are mentioned on the County of Urnst LG site. So in answer to your question, yes.

I just moved away from West Virginia, so I can sympathize. I'm not sure what part of the state you're in, but I'd think that Morgantown, being a university town, probably is the best bet for gaming st ...

So you could offer a player that sort or out if they get zapped into something distastefull like a jellyfish. Have dispel magic cast against the level of the mage who cast the polymorph if they can k ...

Yes, I love systems without classes and levels too. I used to play GURPs fantasy and it was great. D&D has a soft spot in my heart, however, and I'll always play it. Happy

What's DragonQuest? Is ...

None of the above.

I played 1e in the early and mid 80s, but changed to DragonQuest in '87. I've tried other systems, such as Runequest and GURPS and even played a couple of sessions of 2e. Althoug ...

This is not really something anyone can answer for you. Just think about it from the viewpoint of the character, and if the character is unable to decide on his own if it is right or wrong, then perha ...

I had actually considered using GURPS, but the heroic fantasy feel of DragonQuest appealed to me more. I will, however, be using the GURPS mass combat rules when my players get involved in military en ...

I am currently running a campaign in Greyhawk set in the time period of the From the Ashes supplement. The game system I am using is SPI's old DragonQuest game. The background information on the major ...
