Both the Ghelspad and Termana softcovers and hardcovers should have that information for their respective continents. It's part of the government rundown - the ruler, population, etc, and the imports and exports should be in there. A few entries might give a bit more detail beyond that if you're...

Chaotic Good monkey people Chardun banished to lands most cold for being, well, Chaotic and Good. Stupid merciful monkeys. The open call for Creature Collection IV also stated that they didn't particularly want Norse-inspired monsters. However, seeing as how the place is named Fenrilik, I...

I wasn't the one running the game, but I did read one of the backgrounds for a game I was going to be in. The player talked about most of what was in it, so it's not like he was keeping it secret, and the Storyteller (this was a World of Darkness game) half-jokingly said the background read like...

I'm po', po', po'. However, assuming I have the cash, my current list includes... Unearthed Arcana The Edge of Infinity (Scarred Lands planar handbook) What Midnight books I'm missing/are coming out And I suppose at this point, the Iron Kingdoms campaign setting. I hadn't even realized it was...

The terali are also in Creature Collection Revised, Gez, at the back of the book along with all the other Scarred Lands PC races that were out by the time the book saw print. So anyone with that has the terali on hand. I'm also going to go out on a limb here and assume the Seraphic engine will...

Hehe. All right, perhaps it is. But outside of the picture, I had no sense that it was meant to be meant as humorous. Outside of the fact that it's an evil, talking squid in a tree. Conceptually, goofy, yes, but the write-up itself didn't seem to be going for that angle. Though I suppose that...

I always pictured the Bleak Savannah as being less like Africa, and more like something you might find in Mongolia. While I figure it doesn't see much snow, I always figured it to be a fairly cold, desolate place. Albadia being higher up as it is, I would assume that's why it's colder, but not...

I've been getting my musical kicks via Leonard Cohen, Nick Cave and...the Lords of the Rhyme as of late. Honestly, if any musical stylings ever went together so seamlessly, it would be those three. Really.

Hmm... I wouldn't really include anything that isn't unique to D&D. Resurrection plays into a number of real-world mythologies and belief systems. Lazarus, for example. The town spellcaster is a bit of a D&Dism, but the idea of the town priest certainly isn't. It's just that D&D priests...

While knowledge about actual druids is a scarce sort of thing, to my recollection, it was taboo for druids to touch weapons. I'd have to double check this, as it's been a while since I'd heard it and memory is often an ucertain thing, but I do believe you're wrong.

I went with essentially regular ol' D&D. I run a rotating schedule of Ravenloft and the Scarred Lands on Monday nights. However, as of late, having picked up the Midnight book, I also threw that in there (none of my games are ever going to get anywhere...sigh...but, at least the time gaming is...

Martial clerics certainly isn't a D&Dism; there have been plenty of instances of priests in chainmail mesh with a mace. The idea of a crusader isn't a new one. One could argue that as being more paladin-like, but the line between the two is often blurred. I am curious to know if the idea of a...

Heh. I thought this was a thread for those with Scarred Lands questions to Nightfall. It's a rare thing that I have Scarred Lands questions. I had vaguely considered putting up the Jandaveos story up in here, but felt it wasn't entirely kosher to the conversation, and that most who follow...

As I said about the Dark Triumvirate, the concept is fine, it's the writing that I felt could use some brushing up. As is, it inspired within me the image of three fiends sitting around a table, curling up their pencil-thin moustaches with an evil cackle as they decided "What shall we do to good...

Hehe. Glad you agree.

Wow, wow, wow...instead of killing a few people, you peacefully subdued them? When a paladin went bat guano crazy and tried to kill those peacefully subdued people, you peacefully subdued him as well for him being an unreasonable, mentally unhinged git? And then when you ran across another...

Let's see...DM's can cheat, such as by making a monster more powerful halfway through the encounter when the PC's begin to breeze through it, or by having that non-integral to the storyline wizard cast dimension door when he never even had it in his spellbook to begin with, amongst other...

No vote. Why? Because while I'm not particularly enthused by epic level books, I do like third party companies being able to introduce a few epic things here and there. A book devoted to epic level play may not necessarily enthuse me, but being able to use it sparingly...just dandy. I'm also...

Ahh, I love the smell of a new book. Particularly one in which I have an author's credit, even if my contribution was a small one (the forsaken spirit, for those curious to know what). For which I received two copies, which also puts me in a good mood. But, I'll try not to let any of that unduly...

It might also be an idea, to help balance out spellcasters, that levels in Adept, or perhaps even Expert or Aristocrat, stack with levels in Wizard/Sorcerer/Etc, for the purposes of overcoming Spell Resistance and determining how powerful spells are - like an Adept 4/Wizard 1 who picks up magic...
