1. The island is populated by feral elven cannibals. 2. The islanders worship a Chaotic Good aasimar warlock as 'an incarnation of the starry sky'. 3. For no reason that anyone can understand, it has been snowing on this island continually for the past seventy years. 4. The only thing the...

And thank you for that, sir. Us Lidda fans are all very appreciative. ...Well, I am, anyway. Alzrius, thank you for your stand up work on these unofficial monthly reviews! For me, they've always been as much a part of the experience as reading the actual magazines.

Hmm... "Glorious Tiger", a +3 holy flaming bastard sword. Once a week, it could be used to summon a celestial dire tiger. No one's ever actually used it, I just make named weapons for fun.

There's a pretty good thread of new vestiges on the WOTC message boards. Last I checked, it was thirty-three pages long, and the text download of the thread was about one and a half megabytes. In something that large, there's bound to be something good...

It's probably a bad sign that the first thing I did on reading that was figure out the average, right? It's thirteen, by the way.

Congratulations. That one broke me. I had to stand up, walk away from the computer, and find a handkerchief to wipe my eyes just so I could SEE. And my jaw hurts from laughing too hard.

For other people, it's a shield guardian. For you? It's a giant robot. Definitely look into scorching ray - it's not a real giant robot without lasers. And isn't there a spell that forms a sword of force or something like that? Can't remember the name. Granted, giant robots might not be to...

Hmm. Overview. Hmm. Do I have such a thing? Why, yes, yes I do. Lakefleet, The City of Rafts Lakefleet is actually a series of houseboats connected by collapsible ladders - a floating city. The population is mainly human, with a few elves and halflings as well. Lakefleet is a center of...

I'm not sure how useful you'll find this information, but go to http://www.andycollins.net. He specifically states that the starting village for his Bloodlines campaign was converted whole cloth from the town he enjoys vacationing in. There's even several articles about how it was all worked out.

That is one of those books I would just buy outright, to the point of selling a kidney to finance it. Far Realms FTW.

Hmm. Lesser planar ally also allows one to call elementals, not just outsiders. I, too, have FC1, and one of the first things I thought of after reading that book were what I referred to as 'The Hands Of Dagon', or Blackwater Elementals. The idea behind that is that deep in the depths of the...

Frisbee of death? No no no. It's called a chakram. It's an actual weapon from India, like so many other mentioned in this thread. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chakram Also, it was statted out in the Arms and Equipment Guide, anyway. Exotic Small Ranged Weapon, 1d4 slashing. And my vote...

Hmm. The back cover copy would go something like this: Eons ago, the Lost Race were the greatest mages in all of existence. Using their magic, they created a Paradise. But it was not to last. The Lost Race probed too deeply into things no living being should know, and punched through...

Next Month In Dragon #340: The Sun and the Moon by Craig Campbell and Chris Tulach Learn the secrets of these two celestial bodies and those who study their signs and portents. Will you seek the knowledge and wisdom of the sun or the ever changing passions of the moon? What's Your Sign by Hal...

Sorry, I said that wrong. The Dusanu *is* the undead-like plant. It's a colony of sentient fungus that grows within humaniod corpses. Also, the eidtorial mentions that Creature Catalog Five will be around in issue #343. On an entirely unrelated tangent, I have never had so many people...
