I recently returned to canon fire, after a long, new parent induced, hiatus! And I came here to get some information from my old canpaign - and realized the subject of this post is now not reachable. ...

This is a great adventure idea, especially if you don't want the PCs to ascend. I was already thinking the same thing about Keoghtom. He has appeared more than once in my campaign - and not in the s ...

Wow - so much venom on what I thought was an innocuous idea. I actually liked it, mostly because my campaign has been running for 10 years with the same players and characters, and we all often forge ...

A powerful mage could be a Ur-Flan sorcerer who fled the Oerid invasion of the Great Kingdom area. He pulls a Prospero and controls the island, keeps others away with powerful storms, illusions, and ...

Have you tried looking at Dicefreaks:

Hi

I am VERY interested in this. I would be willing to work with you, either we could post here, or if you like, we could use email (rob_douglas at mac.com) to bounce ideas and stats.

Clearly y ...

I was hoping to see the adventures somewhere soon. They sound like a great resource. According to the LG site though, they will be available soon...but not yet.

If anyone sees them, or has experi ...

HI

Officially, back in 2001 or 2002, they made a rule that Living Greyhawk would advance 1 year per calendar year. So products for LG were timed to the year they were produced. I am hoping someon ...

Rick -

Arcane Strike is perfect - I should have thought of that. I posted some ideas over on the Epic Boards as well:

Knowledge Nature should come from Green Dragons I would think. Black Dragons would have more Knowledge DUngeoneering maybe. Gold for History.

I agree about Jump, only those that have it should pu ...

I also pick a couple of Knowledge skills, arcana, undead, the planes, history especially, and Spellcraft. I add in Use Magic Device for access to some strange items when I really want a weird encount ...

If you have any more specific questions, you can ask on here. The Ring as was noted is not standard, but the cost to add a bonus to saves on a protection ring is not too bad. It falls under Custom i ...

I thought that the Marklands had one - at least of the area close by, if not the town itself. There may also be one in an Oerth Journal. Make sure you have looked at those 22 issues. :)

There is an adventure, going after Darnakurian, and the Twin Cataclyms:

Excellent work. Good to see.

ROB

Rick - you old salt, how could you not tell us you had published a whole adventure based on Darnakurian's Doom in Oerth Journal #22:

Saltmarsh was written up completely in the DMG II. You can at least browse it at your local bookstore.

Well, I thought I would start here and see what help I can get. I am planning to run my group into Darnakurian's Doom. First I am using LeShay as the Sentinels, but I have allowed that a group of NP ...

I am familiar with the DF argument, I just don't buy it for Greyhawk. The argument relies on the contention that there are multiple different pantheons and worlds with their own gods, but only 1 Asmo ...

HI

Thanks - I am aware of Dicefreaks, and there are things I like, and things I don't. My biggest issue is with the power level of such entities as the Archdukes in Gates of Hell. Asmodeus is bas ...

Let me see if I can help. There are 2 uses of the classed/cross-class distinction. One is for Max Ranks. The other is for how much it costs to gain 1 rank of a skill for this level.

I hope it sells like hot cakes. I am looking forward to it, as I was just using some Ruins stuff recently, and the party may want to go back. I have to scale it up, but I bet it includes a lot of th ...

So how much "elf" has to be mixed in before the offspring becomes "elf" again? Three-quarters? Nine-tenths? Inquiring geneticists want to know.

Awesome summary. I basically agree with your outline. It is how I have been seeing the creation of Oerth and the multiverse. Now that the party is dealing with all things Epic, I think it is time f ...

What Greyhawk content in MMIV? I did see the Avatars of Elemental Evil, but that was all I noticed.

Thanks,

B1 and B2 were not linked in any way when first published. There was not really a world yet, but some talk about Greyhawk led to B1 being delcared to potentially be in Ratik. I like it there because ...

Glad to see another reply here, that made me reread the whole thread, and rethink some things going on in my campaign.

Basically, what I want to say, is you can do Cthulu style stuff at any level. ...

I really like the idea of it, and I was planning on trying to tinker with it in 3E terms, and turn it into a generic Epic vs. Armies post, and post that to the Epic Discussion Boards for feedback.

Some of it depends on what level your PCs will be when fighting them. I have been thinking about how to deal with low-level armies against Epic characters, and AotDL is one of the modules that I plan ...

There is no reason that they can't all be big-B Barbarians. It is not like that class is overpowered compared to a fighter. Actually, the vast majority will be Warriors - NPC fighting persons - of l ...

HI

PLease post them. WE need more content here anyway - and there are plenty of folks who come here now, or will in the future that could benefit, but might not post a request.
