    Wherefore Orcs?

    Here, reprinted for your pleasure from The Denham Tracts, Vol II, pp 76-80, is Denham's complete list of spirits. I've omitted the extensive notes: they primarily refer to places named after the spirits in the list. In some cases, I suspect the spirits have been invented to fit the placenames...

    Wherefore Orcs?

    Well, I have been able to dig up a little more on the Denham Tracts. What follows is a bit of description of the tracts and some commentary. If you're just interested in the list with the word 'hobbit' in it, skip to the next post (which reads like a D&D encounter table!). There are a couple...

    Wherefore Orcs?

    Just for kicks, I'm going to look up the Denham tracts. I'm pretty sure there are a few editions and reprints floating around.

    Wherefore Orcs?

    I've heard this thrown around a few times, but no one has ever been able to satisfy me with a source for this statement. Hellbender, can you point me to this pre-Tolkien 'hobbit' source?

    Compiled 3.5 Revisions

    It may be helpful if this became a 'sticky' thread since there are so many questions about the revisions. It would also be helpful if comments could be removed after Olgar updates the main text. That would save Olgar from starting a new compiled thread when this one gets bogged down with...

    Pathfinder 1E What's with Paizo Publishing?????

    Thanks Erik, I appreciate the info. But you know what would be really helpful? That this was made clear somewhere in the magazine. One of the first things I did after seeing the Web Enhanced button was to try to check out the enhancement. No enhancement, no notice of a future enhancement, no...

    how would you deal with the character of a player who leaves the game?

    For me, it always depends on both the in-game and out of game circumstances. Since the player sounds like she's leaving on good terms, I'd be inclined to treat her old character respectfully. Consider Mrs Horn in Sagiro's storyhour if you follow it. (Say, I guess she's gone now consider the...

    -3 No More! (Ehem, not 'Monks Got the Shaft!')

    From a note on the Polyhedron side: Extraplanar subtype- Although Githyanki are humanoids, they are native to the Astral Plane and are thus susceptible to banishment and similar spells when they are on other planes. Also, the AC stacks up right as far as I can tell: +4 inertial armor +4 Dex...

    -3 No More! (Ehem, not 'Monks Got the Shaft!')

    Re: Re: -3 No More! (Ehem, not 'Monks Got the Shaft!') It is Greater Flurry. Here's a stat block so you can decide for yourself what has changed: Saarys, Female Githzerai Mnk 11: CR 13; Medium Humanoid (extraplanar); HD 11d8+11; hp 61; Init +3; Spd 60 ft.; AC 22, touch 18, flat-footed 20...

    I will Living Greyhawk no more!

    Here's the actual blurb for Current Affair: URD2-06 A Current Affair River pirates threaten the Great Lukala River Race! In order to defeat them, the party must join in the race and learn how to pole a keelboat up the river, and they'd better learn fast! Competition is almost as fierce as the...

    Conveying Information to Players...

    I much prefer rijeagle's approach. Scripting the whole thing is asking for a lot of trouble. Giving the players specific roles is a great idea, especially if you ahve the opportunity to act as some kind of mediator. Just be very clear about what their NPCs motivations and goals are, as well as...

    What WotC D&D books do you own?

    Missing Option Since there isn't a "None" option available, my vote will go uncounted. (Of course, I'm from Florida, so I'm used to that sort of thing.)

    D20 Future to be realeased in 2004

    From what I gather, the Future stuff will be fairly modularized so that if you just want cyborgs, you drop the cyborg 'component' into your game. Poly gave the previous Mecha d20 mini game as an example.

    coming to england! let clay meet you!(OT)

    Well, the situation has changed somewhat in the past 5 years or so. There are a few more buildings open to the public, but taking a tour is pretty much the only way to see the Bodleian. Almost all the colleges are open to the public, most of the time. But there are times when they are closed...

    coming to england! let clay meet you!(OT)

    Really? I find this somewhat surprising considering all the tourists I'm tripping over most of the time. What specifically proved dificult? For clay's london trip: You may be interested in Body Worlds. It's not something you'll fine most places. (Or even in London much longer!)
