What do you think is creepy about it?

From Planescape's perspective, there are absolutely baatezu and tanar'ri in Mystara, they're simply called by different names. From Mystara's perspective, no, there are no baatezu nor tanar'ri. There are fiends, which are servants of entropy. The outer plane that the fiends come from is called...

After about the first 6 issues, the going price for old Dragons seems to be about $3-4. Because the shipping cost for one issue is going to be more than the cost of the issue itself, you would probably have better luck selling them in lots. I wouldn't expect you to be able to ask more than cover...

Wow, that's a good one! This was always my favorite kind of Dragon article, a well-researched subject presented in a way that would be useful for D&D players.

I love Paizo's NPCs and set pieces, so even if I can't use most of the adventure this should be worth mining for ideas. I am absolutely going to use the baykok, it's a terrific monster.

They would never disappear simply because they're inconvenient. Maybe you already realize this, but it's a common misunderstanding that evolution is designed to streamline a creature for survival. Humans alone have half a dozen examples of vestigal organs and bones, whales famously have vestigal...

Very useful, thanks! The myths are pretty whimsical, but I think they would be great for the atmosphere of a vision quest. Looking forward to it. :)

Those are great, thanks! I'll have to use the thunderbird and uktena. This might be just the thing for a short adventure. I can work it into the the theme of the vignettes easily, and it gives me someplace to use some of D&D's dreamlike creatures and effects.

I already had it bookmarked. :) Spirits and shamanism are good, and I like the intelligent animal tribes idea. I just remembered the wendigo, too, but I think that's something from pretty far north. Sounds like a great resource, and I found a copy of the GM book on Amazon for only $4! I have...

Are there any Native American adventures out there? I'm running Mystara vignettes for my game and one of the places I want to feature, the Atruaghin Clans, also happens to be one of the most undefined places in the Known World. The gazetteer describes the clans themselves and that is pretty much...

I'm a biologist and really enjoying the different perspectives in this thread.

That made my day. :)

I just started playing an avenger a couple of weeks ago, and I knew I wanted an Arabian character. I've been borrowing from Al-Qadim, but I forgot about the holy slayer kit flavor, so that was very helpful! I liked "Avengers of" as well, I love the idea of an avenger of Ioun rebelling against...

No, that isn't what I meant at all. I think I could probably tie it into Ghostwalk, which is nice. I think it isn't really Hammerfast at all, which is disappointing. I am not disappointed that it isn't Ghostwalk, I had no idea that it would even resemble it before this article.

When I first started reading about Hammerfast I thought it would be a great fit for the Ghostwalk stuff, which is very cool. But the more I read, the less I like. Hammerfast seems like Moria if Tolkien's dwarves had decided the balrog was not such a bad guy. Count me sincerely disappointed. I...

Commons from DDM are going to be less expensive than Reaper's Legendary Encounters. Any of the fairly recent sets have commons that go for less than $1. If you've considered these and decided ~$15 for 20 miniatures is not a reasonable cost, I think you're out of luck. For metals, Mega Minis...

The maps are saved as .dat files and all the export function does is create a copy under an .xpt extension that Core Rules can identify as something to import. No other program will be able to open either format, because they are just references to the Core Rules program. The file only tells the...

I was really hoping for a more traditional board game with a real board, non-DDM pieces and no d20 mechanic. But I can imagine I'm in the minority and I'll probably still pick it up.

I recognize it. It's a Home Depot product. The brand is WorkForce and the product is called Small Parts Box. I didn't find it on the Home Depot website and it has been a few years so they might be impossible to find now.

I love it. :)
