Take Glorium, for example. Glorium is the gate-town to Ysgard. It's a rural place with a few hundred people, no more. It's the primary gateway between two major planes of existence, but there's not a lot there. What if Glorium saw thousands or millions of visitors a year, but those visitors...

Yes, they are. Grenpoli is the City of Diplomacy, and Offalion sounds like the City of Man. So it has a name, now; that's cool. I'm completely convinced you have the book, by the way. Oh, but each of them has a different task? Baalzephon is in charge of supply, and Dagos in the marshal of the...

Will it have room for expansion? I mean, will it be easy to add new levels (or old levels)? Will the dungeon's plots be pretty much used up by the time the PCs get to the end of the hardcover adventure?

The clown was actually, according to the designers, supposed to be Fraz-Urb'luu, or at least the stain his evil left on that dungeon level. In clown form. Blame Zagyg for that.

Never ran it, never played it, never owned it, never read it. However: You might be thinking of Illuminating the Night Below. It was designed by Carl Sargent, who was the mind behind most of the Greyhawk books of the early '90s. It was intended as a Greyhawk module, but "genericized."

I ran parts of it. Of course, I ran some of the wackier things from Dragon Magazine's April Fools issues too. A good time was had by all.

Zen also made a map of Sigil that's similar to what you're talking about. It's disappeared from his DeviantArt site, but I could email you a copy.

Thanks for the clarification, Mike Mearls. I would still rather they spoke in terms of multiple possibilities, various rumors and so on, leaving it for the individual DMs to choose which one they like better. Fiendish Codex I did that very well, drawing from a variety of fictitious sources (so...

DDG has a creature called the Snow Serpent, but calling it the same monster as the frost worm is a stretch; the Snow Serpent is furry and has no sonic or cold attacks, nor a breath weapon, nor the death throes ability. The Wikipedia article is incorrect. There's nothing called an "allip" in...

Yes.

I want to know what the "recipients of divine energy" line is supposed to mean. It seems poorly worded, but I guess they're saying that archdevils have the abilty to bribe their subordinates with godly power (in order to convince them to harvest souls instead of fighting in the Blood War). It...

Sah-wah-gin. The H is silent, as in Spanish (which any word with "hua" is gong to resemble). Alternatively, you could pronounce it as if it were entirely Spanish (sah-wah-HEEN), but I don't think many people do that.

On second thought, I think I'm missing the bigger picture here. The salient point in the preview isn't that Asmodeus is a fallen celestial or a big snake or whatever, but that he's a communist who led a revolution of the proletariat against the bourgeoisie. It happens that they decided that the...

That would be incredibly tedious and mundane, at this point. Fallen archons have been done to death, and turning Asmodeus into yet another one would destroy any interest I have in the character. The Twin Serpents myth is VASTLY superior, because at least it involved some creativity and made...

I like fallen celestials too, but Hell already has one - Baalzebul, who was formally the archon Triel. Green Ronin's material made Belial and Moloch fallen celestials too, which makes sense as the three are allies. Doing that to Asmodeus, the most enigmatic and shadowy or the lords, presumedly...

Here are the November Previews. Some comments on the excerpt: This makes sense to me, in general, but I think they failed to consider that Stygia is exposed to all the other lower planes via the River Styx. So demons can invade that layer without needing to teleport. This is the reverse of...

Incidently, the Citadel is inside the top of a dormant volcano. Long before Cauldron.

I'd also add the Citadel on Honor Island in The Kingdom of Ierendi gazetteer for the Mystara setting. "The Citadel is at once a university, a research laboratory, and a small city..." It has a spiral stairway that leads to the Ethereal Plane and a structure called the Ether Station. A dock on...

I found another one, the Lost City of Ubar from Secrets of the Lamp. It's the de facto capital of the jann, a metropolis of 200,000, and includes a gate to the elemental planes. Add that to the list of planar cities on the Material Plane.

It could be a nonmagical sword, doused in Alchemist Fire and set alight.
