I'll dig around, MerricB. You should also ping Brian/Cebrion on CF!: he's as much of a packrat as I am :D

That artifact originally appeared in the Greyhawk campaign adventure "Dark Druids"---written and DM'd by Rob Kuntz. Skip Williams' PC recovered the artifact, at least for a short time, IIRC....

I ran H2 BITD, and it was fun, although I modified it significantly IIRC.

I just rec'd the reprints today (in trade for some JG and TSR modules), and am going to enjoy opening them, one at a time, over each of the next three nights :D

Anyone by chance have one of the larger sized Ptolus maps available (preferably the GenCon 2006 version @ 70"x48")?

Post-GenCon bump!

I would probably go with The Codex of the Infinite Planes or the Crook of Rao, myself, but you can always change up an artifact or relic to make them more or less powerful than as written. The Origins of Greyhawk Artifacts and Relics details a list of artifacts and relics from the Greyhawk...

I'm actually more of a fan of the Aliens: This Time It's War board/minis/war game than I am the RPG (system-wise). The RPG system is a bit too much for my tastes, but the minis game simplifies the system significantly and keeps the pace of action flowing fast. Some pics @ FB in case anyone's...

And in a brown box, of course ;)

I continue to remain very jazzed on the universe of Aliens/Prometheus, and would love to see a new licensed RPG published, or a revival of the Leading Edge Games RPG from c. 1989.

Bruce Heard's "Spells Between the Covers" (Dragon 82) was quite good, as were Ed Greenwood's "Pages from the Mages" series: - "Pages From the Mages" in Dragon #62 - "More Pages From the Mages" in Dragon #69 - "Pages From the Mages III" in Dragon #92 - "Pages From the Mages IV" in Dragon #97 -...

Wonderful news, Kevin! :D Suggestion for next session: the Potion Miscibility Table :D

You could demote all of the gods one or two levels, which could be very interesting: Down 1 level: - Greater --> Lesser (presumably Cyndor as an "intermediate" god would be treated like either a Greater or Lesser, your call) - Lesser --> Demi - Demi/Hero/Saint --> Quasi - Quasi = Quasi (they...

Very cool, Kevin. Does this mean that you're looking for a white one (alas, for which I can't help you...)?

In terms of Greyhawk-specific effects, I think you can do all sorts of interesting things with the baseline of a post-asteroid-strike-nuclear-winter for the campaign: - you could leverage the asteroid/comet strike as part of Paizo's "Age of Worms" campaign arc, either during or after the arc...

Jon Peterson's book _Playing at the World_ is a new, comprehensive early history of the development of RPGs out of wargames through about 1978 TSR, and is well-worth checking out if you're interested in the history of the hobby. Jon recently started a blog with two interesting posts featuring...

And another Blog of Holding post, this about the wizards of Wyre: who are the best of the best? Blog of Holding

Month-end bump!

Dave did some art in the OD&D boxed set, per Mike Mornard, but I've not heard that he was a painter (which doesn't mean that he wasn't either). I pinged Paul Stormberg to see what he can say....

It's also not very good, all-in-all. You're better off buying a book of Russian folklore (like my old prof, Linda Ivantis' @ Amazon.com: Russian Folk Belief (9780873328890): Linda J. Ivanits, Linda J. Ivantis, Sophie Schiller: Books ) than trying to track down Rus.
