It would look a lot like Palladium Fantasy.

At the same time, Drow War is vastly superior as an adventure to Shackled City, which is little more than a number of dungeons connected by some sparse story-elements. Or, to put it another way: your point being?

WOW! Thanks, Grover Cleaveland!!!

That leads me to another questions: where can I find a listing of the Greyhawk gods by pantheon? I think it would be very cool to find out which ones are Suel, Flan, Oeridian etc, but I never found the time to list them according to that information...

my sentiment exactly. when I work a secret into my campaigns I do so in order to have the players find out about it! The later the better, as that's what keeps suspension high, but a constant flow of information, the sense of exploration are what make an adventure great. Just to give another...

Hi Mystery man! I'm glad you like my ideas! I thought things over some more and Ive found a place for the Rift Canyon: The Valley of the Dead Queens on Map 4 seems like a perfect fit! Historywise, to put things in the right order, the Wind Dukes of Aaqa would have to be Kelnor-Mages fighting...

So, I have these two new shiny toys: the Wilderlands Campaign Setting and the first few installments of the Age of Worms Adventure Path. Although I'm a huge Greyhawk fan I'm thinking about porting the AoW over to the Wilderlands, as we're about to start a new campaign, and if I don't play...

There isn't a lack of adventures, but there is a lack of adventures other than dungeon crawls. I'm a dungeon subscriber - if I want to run a dungeon crawl there are dozens of good adventures to choose from. As soon as I'm looking for an NPC or event-driven adventure I'm sorely out of luck...

Thanks! I just downloaded Assassin's Knot. Aren't there any 3/3.5E adventures fitting my description? the review database is not a great help, as even adventures that are deemed innovative or just plain good (like Grey Citadel, banewarrens et.al) are just spiced up dungeon crawls... little...

I'm about to start a new campaign that is going to be set in Greyhawk City, shortly after the Wars. The old From the Ashes campaign setting material is going to form the basis of "my" Greyhawk. I want to emphasize the problems resulting from Tenha refugees (riots and hatred for the newcomers)...

Actually there are specific titles for adressing Grafen, Fürsten, Könige etc. You'd probably use the equivalent of your majesty: Eure Hoheit. the use is different in German than in English: Hoheit would be used when dealing with a Fürst or Herzog as well, not just when dealing with the king. The...

that's exactly the point I wanted to make. I don't think that the cultural differences between the US and Europe are big enough to per se influence the gaming style on either side of the pond. The prevalent gaming system otoh does of course influence the way RPGs are commonly played. A gaming...

It has already been mentioned that most things depend on the player's/DM's personality. However, as with most stereotypes, there might be a grain of truth in that statement. European gamers are definitely not more creative or better able to play narrative games. Let's compare the most succesful...

German law is basically ius sanguinis, i.e. if your parents are German you're German, as well, no matter where you're born. AFAIK the UK, just as the US, is closer to a ius solis, but I could well be wrong. Multiple citizenships in Germany are possible, but they are the exception and difficult...

Articles in the vein of the guides to survive anything would be great to see in Dragon. Articles that tell you how to include a specific location in your game, not in terms of NPCs and layouts, but in terms of other factors, like, in a theater, how could I use that giant chandelier or the...
