I assume it was. Of course, BoVD establishes that she was Moloch's lover, so it wouldn't be at all strange to say her name was Lilith (Moloch's consort in 1e), as Green Ronin did. Robert Schwalb already took that tack in The Unholy Warrior's Handbook. If they don't use that angle, they have a...

Monster Mythology gives them a god to worship.

I hope they don't. Giving her the same name as Baalzebul's capital city was always awkward.

Unless otherwise noted, these are mentioned in the obvious sources (Fiendish Codex I: Hordes of the Abyss for the Abyss; Planes of Chaos, Planes of Conflict, A Player's Primer to the Outlands, Planescape campaign setting, or Planes of Law for the outer planes in general; The Inner Planes for the...

So it's implied that Waldorf is actually telling the truth (maybe)! The nilbogs defeated him and reality was "rebooted," leaving Waldorf alone as the only mortal who remembers what once was... What would your take have been? Was Waldorf a former slave of the Codex?

That's not a huge surprise, as the author, Roger E. Moore, was the editor of Dragon Magazine who published and answered all of those letters. If I recall correctly, he presented Waldorf in The Adventure Begins as a delusional braggart.

A Paladin in Hell gave the PCs an opportunity to kill him, but left the ending open. The adventure was deadly enough that it was unlikely. He was still alive as of the Book of Vile Darkness web enhancement, no longer in power but still dwelling in Stygia. Tome of Magic finally established he...

I'm not convinced that the FC2 archfiends will be on the same power level as the FC1 archfiends. A lot of the discussion here is predicated on that. Besides the fact that WotC products aren't always consistent with one another, why shouldn't Asmodeus be substantially stronger than Demogorgon...

He's a fiendish ghoul who became a demigod. He's undead rather than an outsider, and thus not a demon. While Libris Mortis said he had recently won his way free, apparently that lasted like five minutes, because he's back in Yeenoghu's grip as of Fiendish Codex I.

It might be fun. One of the disappointing aspects of a setting with absolute, objective morality and beings who personify that morality is that it's rare to find institutional corruption among the celestial hosts, and it's rare to be able to sympathize with the cause of the fiends. If you remove...

Heads up on a new demon prince - Chernovog, who is worshipped by hags and witches in Expedition to Castle Ravenloft. I don't see a formal declaration of his areas of interest, but his aspect has warlock invocations.

That's better summarized in this essay, which is largely based on Gary Gygax's post-TSR novels and the 1st edition Monster Manuals. All of those demons are mentioned in the Fiendish Codex I: Hordes of the Abyss, although Marduk is called Kardum in that text. The elemental associations are by...

I suspect someone would have to actually get a monopoly over all books (or all games), not just all pen-and-paper RPGs, for anyone in government to care. A monopoly over one tiny genre seems unlikely to make many people blink. Given that there were probably more Harry Potter books sold than...

As I recall, they were relatively intelligent and civilized. It went in some detail about their culture. Unfortunately, I've misplaced my own copy of that issue. On the athach/fachan controversy, I suspect Frank Mentzer made them three-armed because he thought that one-legged monsters who only...

Is everyone here completely unaware that Paizo has a PDF store?

The fachan was a one-eyed, one-armed, one-legged monster statted in both the Celts Campaign Sourcebook and the Forgotten Realms Monstrous Compendium II. The doc c'o'c was a one-eyed, one-armed, one-legged spirit described in Oriental Adventures and the Kara-Tur Monstrous Compendium. The...

Haven't you seen Paizo's PDF store? It tends to be cheaper than RPGNow, but with annoying watermarks.

That would be the cyclopeans, from Dragon #323.

That's a pretty good reason, actually. Criticism withdrawn.

It's as if WotC doesn't believe most D&D players have access to photocopy machines.
