If you can find copies, Dragon #257 contains a campaign setting for the period in England by Ian Malcomson, and Dragon #263 has the same author's treatment of the Anglo-Saxon pantheon... Dragon #290 gave us Red Sails, concerning the Dark Ages in Eastern Europe/ Russia, with adventure support in...

Any local college or public library will have sources for you, but one of the easier reads would be John J. Robinson's Dungeon, Fire and Sword concerning the Knights Templar. I'm currently taking a class on the Crusades for the summer, but we haven't gotten that far yet-- just through all the...

Wonderful, as always... keep 'em coming...

And in the Los Angeles subway to some guy named Stan...

Firearm development also goes hand in hand with developments in smithing/ smelting, chemistry, and mechanical sciences-- you'll need a clockmaker, not a blacksmith, to make the workings of any of the more advanced firearms (wheellock, matchlock, &c...) Artillery development could lead to...

The Great God Pan is dead-- or is he? IMC I built off the idea in the Skull and Bones entry for the djab Lel-Za-Bol, which was formerly one of the Aztec's "Night dieties", but with the passing of the Aztec culture has become a weaker spirit-- dieties never really die, but slowly fade from the...

Thanks, Johnathan!

Mother of Mercy, is this the end of Shandrilla? Here's my vote for bringing back the "fiction and footnote" ecology articles, if only here on ENWorld (or, perhaps, over at the Creature Catalog?)... I will say that I prefer your take on the chuul over Dragon's recent version-- I feel that "the...

Excellent! Nice to see the Monster Hunters again! If we ask really nicely, can we have more? Please?

Dawn Ibach had a series in Dragon Magazine a while back called "Miscellaneous Mishaps" that listed random encounters for different environments. Issue 259 was "The Great Outdoors", and featured such things as "Mice in backpacks or saddlebags", "Poison ivy or sumac", "Tree house", "Archery...

Haven't done it yet, but I want to play an incredibly niaeve "Expert" who's compiling or editing a "Bestiary"-- and constantly wandering away from the party to look for interesting monsters, not to kill, but to observe and take notes, draw pictures of, &c &c "Oh look, it's one of those Eye...

Gez, I'm yoinking that mechanic of yours-- it supplies the added piece of the puzzle to fit an alternate concept of Hell I've been kicking around into my campaign design. Hell is quite different from the "Circles" or "Layers" writers usually envision-- it's much closer to the world we see...

IMC you're more likely to run across leftovers from the pliestocene, but the M'Kolo-M'Bembe (a small Apatosaur) and the Ol-Umaina (an Allosaur) can be found in the jungles of Africa, and the Lagar-Tortuga of the Caribbean is an Archelon tschyras (giant turtle). There are other "sea serpents"...

Clifford! Yay! :D

Good for you! (Or better for you, at least...) Wish I had that kind of willpower-- I always fail my saves! ;)

I voted vanilla... But chocolate, if it's got crunchy bits in it-- crispies, Kit-Kats, that sort of thing... and though I love nuts, unfortunately they make me grumpy and sick (mild food allergy), so I'm trying to cut them out of my diet... Though I miss peanut M&M's... On a related note, and...

"The Cleaners! First the Bog of Unending Stench, and now the Cleaners!"

The "Imperial Post" was an element of Juliette McKenna's novels (Thief's Gamble, Swordsman's Oath et al...) I could see it running similar to the pony express of the American West-- long rides through the wilderness, isolated trading posts where you can get fresh horses, savage tribes of...

Heck, Nodwick itself is a great resource: "Tomb Depot" Paladins and Anti-Paladins are like matter and anti-matter-- they explode on contact. Nothing bad, or even slightly embarrassing, happens to the good cleric. Dragons kidnap princesses, only to find that they're whiny brats and not worth the...
