I run Greyhawk, Forgotten Realms and Dragonlance - all connected through the Great Wheel and Sigil (Planescape). I don't mind metaplots to keep things interesting but, when there is a big time line advance in one setting, all my others have to play catch up! :lol: 1479 DR = 682 CY = 87 SC...

I like the idea of the uncaring Boccob changing the way magic works. Maybe he does it every so often for whatever inscrutable reason. Maybe he's upgrading the system so that magic stays fresh or responding to the infinite changes of the multiverse.

I'm not so much worried about 4E things such as the new cosmology, teiflings, dragonborn, etc as these you can probably take or leave as you like (unless or course the cosmology assumption permeates all the rules on spells). I'll keep my Great Wheel. Teiflings are OK but they're already OK (the...

Actually, I had 2 ideas for a world-shaking event. They are quite drastic and, from the feedback I've received so far, unnecessary I think. But here they are: 1) A toned down copy of the FR adventure path that lead up to the Spellplague (except adapted to GH of course): Cormyr: The Tearing of...

Were you running the same campaign in 3E? If so, did your players start up all new characters for 4E or did they convert their 3E characters across?

Unfortunately there is a lot of teleporting. The party wizard is about 18th level. I can see him howling and whining if this power is curtailed! Actually, I like the sound of this limited teleporting though. It seems too quick and easy at the moment and cuts out the epic journey towards your...

Yes, the new way magic is dealt with was my biggest concern. This idea about a magic flux is a good idea though.

I'm currently running a Greyhawk campaign under the 3E rules but was planning to make the move to 4E. I've run the campaign through every edition of D&D. When we updated from 1E to 2E I had no world-shaking event as the rules changes were just so minimal. When 3E came along, I was considering a...

Thanks for everyone's feedback. I guess I'm after the books for resource material rather than a good read. From the evidence here, it looks like maybe I should avoid them unless I find them dirt cheap. I have another question: Are there any references to the events that take place in these...

I was thinking of buying the PLANESCAPE line of novels but was wondering if they are worth investing in. Five novels were released: - Pages of Pain - Torment The Bloodwars Trilogy - Blood Hostages - Abyssal Warriors - Planar Powers Has anyone read these and are they any good? Are they canon...

I'm not from the US and missed out on all the Free RPG Day goodies. I wouldn't have minded picking up Treasure of Talon Pass but it's already selling for astounding prices on eBay so I think I'll give it a miss. Is it worth that much? I wonder if some RPG shops forgot the spirit of Free RPG...

OK. Just found out that they're not going to release this.

Just wondering what's happening with Myriador Press and if they are still releasing the final Sorcery module: The Crown of Kings? Also, Citadel of Chaos was meant to be released. Thank you

I think the news of 4E's release is great but I still haven't made a dent in my 3E games. I'll definitely wait 12 months after release before I buy 4E but I'm thinking I could just as well wait for v.4.5 in a couple of years time. 3E was out only 3 years before they put out 3.5. Maybe it would...

Thanks grodog. In fact, LJ#0 mentions the Citadel of Eight as a precurser to the Circle of Eight. So, at least canon GH hasn't dismissed them. It sounds like they were Mordy's adventuring companions/henchmen before he settled down to create the Circle of Eight. Wow. All those "-iggby" names...

Yeah, I'll have to read my copy of DL Adventures again but I've heard from some that this book marked the first reference to the Dome of Creation cosmology.

Yes, I think FR is suited to the Great Wheel - even more so than Greyhawk. But the designers definitely seemed to want to make it "different" and made a concerted effort to make it less "generic" D&D.

Apparently the Circle of Eight from Gygax's home campaign varied to TSR's. I don't know if anyone has ever statted these up for 3E though . . .

I think in 1E DL was set in the Dome of Creation and then put into the Great Wheel during 2E. Then with 3E, it was returned to the Dome of Creation.

If a berk's belief is strong enough then a whole mass of 'em believing the same thing can move planes. Belief is power. If the clueless primes believed strong enough that their prime was the Great Tree, Great Wheel or Great Bowl of Pasta then maybe their belief could make it so. ;)
