    BDKR1 The Unofficial Living Greyhawk Bandit Kingdoms Summary

    I see his page. Perhaps you need to be a friend of a friend to see it.:erm: As a result of the complaint my thread, at The Piazza, has been locked and moved to The Black Pudding. It would seem that the earlier comments (mine) about a C&D letter was mistaken. This is a DMCA notice from WotC...

    BDKR1 The Unofficial Living Greyhawk Bandit Kingdoms Summary

    Being "totally legal" might not help if WotC sent a Cease and Desist letter to CreateSpace (who have also been supplying physical copies to Amazon.com) and they lost their bottle and decided not to print any more. This is the second time it went out of print. It also went out of print on the...

    Mystara Collector's Guide

    There is enough Thunder Rift content to warrant a Thunder Rift subforum at The Piazza. That should be enough to keep a TR fan happy. ;) I think that qualifies too. I think that core books with multi-setting support are far more important to collectors that generic books. On another note, I...

    (Mongoose) Free Epic Campaign - The Pirates of Drinax

    Just so you know, Matt, this has been crossposted at the Traveller forum at The Piazza.

    Unconverted D&D creatures

    Sounds good. But if that is the case, perhaps you should remove the 2e entry for the Silver Slime from your Ooze guide (and add it to your Plant guide) unlress it was aready done.

    Spelljammer Unconverted Spelljammer creatures

    ...and... I've not got City of the Spider Queen, but it sounds like it might be a reboot of an old 2e concept (with the SJ elements being removed). I would suggest a drop to 6HD and (probably) the removal of any special attacks that are not implied by War Captain's Companion. The...

    Oriental Adventures Collector's Guide

    Fair enough. I'd rather make sure you know something is there (and decide to exclude it) than not know about it. :)

    Spelljammer Collector's Guide

    Thanks for the well thought out answers, Echohawk. As someone who is after every scrap of SJ canon, perhaps I should make my own list. ;) Sorry. I did indeed mean Evermeet: Island of Elves, but didn't have it in front of me and typed the name from memory. SJ expert, Paul Westermeyr put me...

    Oriental Adventures Collector's Guide

    I believe you may have misunderstood what I was trying to get at. I was referring to two sections from Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting (from 3e) not Forgotten Realms Campaign Guide (from 4e). One of the sections of FRCS that mentions Kara-Tur is the one on The Unapproachable East. I didn't...

    Oriental Adventures Collector's Guide

    It is only a minor reference, but Kara-Tur (and Maztica, Al-Qadim and Realmspace) gets a mention (and appears on a map) in the Beyond Faerun section of 3e's Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting (pages 230-231). There are also minor mentions in the part of the Geography section devoted to The...

    Any Spelljammers out there?

    Is this the one with clockwork horrors in your sig? I think that SJ can make a great background theme for a RPG set on a world. It can certainly help explain the arrival of various aberrations. And it can help give you an excuse to import elements from other campaign settings (without rebooting...

    What is good for D&D as a game vs. what is good for the company that makes it

    Ironically, you can do this. The OGL and SRD gives you full access to the core of the 3rd Edition D&D rules and, while you can't call it Dungeons & Dragons, there is nothing to stop you (or anyone else) picking up 3e D&D and making what they want from it. Paizo did just this, when they made the...

    Any Spelljammers out there?

    Whistles innocently. :angel: Sounds like an interesting way to deal with drow having neogi ships. I discovered a drow ship in the canon called a Jade Spider. The drow use that to attack neogi ships with smaller spiders (also called jade spiders). The smaller jade spiders are poisonous to...

    Spelljammer Converting Spelljammer creatures

    That works for me. Making SJ monsters also work for other settings is something worth doing. Some of these critters are only going to work for other space settings, like Dragonstar, Paizo's forthcoming space setting or the forthcoming Sailing the Starlit Sea. I need to catch up with your good...

    Spelljammer Converting Spelljammer creatures

    Woah! I'm so late you have moved onto the next critter. This conversion is brilliant. But there are a couple of things I'd like to cast a topic resurrection spell on, because, while you have great logic here, you are up against Jeff Grubb's "rule one" of Spelljammer: I've brought this up...

    D&D 4E Do you really want Greyhawk and Dragonlance for 4e

    I'd love to see a past-tense Dragonlance setting too. Something set before The Cataclysm could be fairly appealing to me. The Dragonlance novels (and to a lesser extent) set up Krynn as a kind of post-apocalyptic world, where faith, as well as the land, has been damaged by The Cataclysm...

    You are the official ENWorld version of a Rick Roll: Asmor Roll.

    User IDs switched around?

    I just had the same thing happen to me. It seems to happen if you edit a visitor message. That message comes up instead of the edited one. Try it yourself to see if you can reproduce the problem. I actually thought this was some sort of spammer attack, trying to get D&D fans to email them so...

    Do you have a "hero" game designer article that shows a good way to improve this sort of article? Maybe if I could see what sort of sections need to be added, I could work out what sort of sources need to be located.

    One of the strange things about Wikipedia is that it requires "secondary sources". Both "primary sources" and "original research" are not viewed as valid. In other words, Wikipedia needs to have citations to things written by other people about things. It is a very strange concept. In your...
