    D&D General Tell me about your campaign

    campaign kind of ended, or at least is on pause since three month: Party had to collect three parts of the ashen staff to close a portal in Doraaka by using the assembled staff at Tovag Baragu. The portal would have given Iuz the upper hand in a kind of 30 years war of his orc hordes and evil...

    Excuse the blunt question, but is Amber Stewart a pseudonym of you, for pathfinder authoring purposes?

    D&D General For the Love of Greyhawk: Why People Still Fight to Preserve Greyhawk

    on elric, s&s fine, but do not forget he is just an incarnation of the eternal hero, e.g. Quorum among many others is one of his alter egos. As far as i can remember i hope i remember it correctly, in one of the books Elric visits Nazi Germany. Elric is planescape to the extreme in my pov, which...

    D&D General For the Love of Greyhawk: Why People Still Fight to Preserve Greyhawk

    Now that one is interesting indeed, you say that 75% of the players play like s&s, no matter what the flavor of the setting is?

    D&D 5E (2014) Conjure Woodland Beings - Where is the "DM chooses the monster" clause?

    you summon 2 oh no wait 4 nah, they seem to multiply..... It is 49 fluffy rabbits which instantly start to comb their ears with their paws. the enemy orc horde dies from cuteness overload ... sometimes the dm is a bit over the top with those wild magic zones.

    D&D General Greyhawk and "Low Magic" : Why Low Magic is in the Eyes of Beholder

    so FR and GH are about similar, converted to real distances? Can we make similar numbers for population density and demographics for both? That would be superneat.

    D&D General Greyhawk and "Low Magic" : Why Low Magic is in the Eyes of Beholder

    So i definitely got the opinion that the magic level in GH is normal to high, comparable to FR. But did i interpret your post correctly? Basically if you got the dosh you can easily buy magic items in a fishing dorf? i would not handle it that way high magic or not.

    D&D General Greyhawk and "Low Magic" : Why Low Magic is in the Eyes of Beholder

    Deriving from the known data e.g. about food production it is highly unlikely we reach those 10-11 billion ever. Unfortunately, you and I, and probably everyone on this forum, will very likely yet see catastrophic plagues, hunger, diseases and the following wars and refugee movements which well...

    D&D General Greyhawk and "Low Magic" : Why Low Magic is in the Eyes of Beholder

    We could eventually feed nowadays earth population if: - Everybody and his mother and I mean every last sod would become mostly vegetarian - Big food tech companies are allowed to run rampart with genetic biologic engineering (w/o care of potential consequences to the ecosystem) to maximize...

    D&D General Greyhawk and "Low Magic" : Why Low Magic is in the Eyes of Beholder

    Yes that is one of the paradoxes of a world with to much magic: If anyone had access to clerical healing no one would ever be sick, even someone killed before his time by an accident could be raised again. But, look at our real world problems; The resources are there - if the whole world would...

    WotC New M:tG set announced: "Adventures in the Forgotten Realms"

    So I guess that is where the future efforts will lead, more crossover with MtG. It totally makes the most sense, also from an economical PoV. I think Covid crisis has been a big boost for gaming, and I think MtG could easily be played online (correct me if I am wrong) plus it has loads of...

    D&D General Greyhawk and "Low Magic" : Why Low Magic is in the Eyes of Beholder

    Lol, Papa Nurgle sorry for the lol the name sounds awfully funny (aka like Papa Smurf) I do know nothing about Warhammer but is Papa Nurgle some kind of Voodoo Doctor? What is the heresy you commit, I mean, whom do you pray to normally in Warhammer? And the life Damsel what does she look...

    D&D 5E (2014) Pact of the chain - how did it work out?

    On the scouting via familiar in general: Some will cry out now, but if a player gets to nosy using his familiar to find traps and ambushes ahead of the group all the time , then I as a DM tend to let the familiar find traps and ambushes - the hard way. Like this: Tweety flys ahead, make a...

    D&D General Greyhawk and "Low Magic" : Why Low Magic is in the Eyes of Beholder

    yep true, still it is the best baseline with the FR grey box being about 1990 or was it 1987? I cannot tell. There was an older World of greyhawk almanach it was yellow and red mostly only a frame, it might be that many also refer to that one which indeed could be taken as low magic.

    D&D General Greyhawk and "Low Magic" : Why Low Magic is in the Eyes of Beholder

    Yes, but the boxed set is not different on that. Every mook NPC above level 3 (and there are lots) has 1-4 magic items plus consumables. So I really do not get by what definition GH should be low magic. I mean, of course the commoner does not have permanent light for his kip, like it could well...

    ?Phillidor? aka the blue wizard (I hope I got the name right from my memory ) Also there was this other vampire lord who migrated for ravenloft for his own domain, an elf I think.

    Hm, and you really need 25 of these complicated combinations? How do you stat them properly anyway? Does the kraken / elder brain breathe acid or lightning?

    You mean like those stage wizard entering with wearing what seems to be a fur coat but turns out it is in fact a horde of trained weasels or so?
