    Greyhawk Oddities

    Maybe they did! But Zagyg has Boccob's protection, and Celestian's, and he's wily and slippery and hard to catch, and maybe there's a reason he never stays in the same place for too long. I'm the last person to insist on adherence to canon (if such a thing even exists in the absence of a...

    ENWorld = whiners arguing ?

    The internet = whiners arguing. Such is the nature of the medium.

    Dragon #67, you mean. You're confusing St. Ceril, the hunter of slaadi, with St. Bane, the hunter of undead. I added the info on the saints (except Carmichael, Cuthbert, and Benedor) directly from that article, so I'm sure about this. Saints Ceril, Bane, Kargoth, and Eleador are equivalent to...

    Greyhawk Oddities

    Rob Kuntz's list is not canon - for one thing, most of the gods he mentioned are not demigods in the present continuity, though they may have been at the time in Gygax's home campaign. Canon-wise (that is, according to the Living Greyhawk Gazetteer), the list of imprisoned demigods includes...

    Fiendish Codex I: Hordes of the Abyss

    In Planescape, without previous hints. Yes. Before Planescape, there was nothing about what happened to gods after they died.

    More complete list of monsters by plane: http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?t=387276 The Necromancer Games forum thing is interesting. For example, its interpretation of Gresil is inspired by my page, which is in turn heavily inspired by Grodog's page, sort of combined with stuff on the...

    Fiendish Codex I: Hordes of the Abyss

    The idea in the MMII was that Hades had two major races, hordlings and diakka. Hordlings were slightly more chaotic, while diakka were slightly more lawful. In the MMII hordlings were listed on the encounter charts for most of the lower planes, however, including the Nine Hells. In the...

    I rounded out some of the humanoid pantheons with gods from Tal Meta's site, and added other missing gods here and there. Oerth Pantheon -- Common Gods Allitur, LG lesser god of ethics, propriety. Heaven/Mertion/Empyrea Atroa, NG lesser goddess of spring, east wing, renewal. Beastlands/Brux/The...

    Greyhawk Oddities

    Suel gods that might be appropriate patrons for psionicists include Lydia (knowledge), Syrul (deception), Kord (strength), Llerg (bestial rage), Pyremius (fire and assassination), and Wee Jas (magic and law). The Oeridian patron of psionics is Delleb.

    Greyhawk Oddities

    Xan Yae and Zuoken (should be Zan Yae and Zuoken, or Xan Yae and Xuoken) are both Baklunish. See this clever and flavorful article by Erik Mona. However, the Greyhawk campaign was never meant to be a place where one's ethnic ancestry is a big deal. In the Flanaess proper most human groups are...

    Fiendish Codex I: Hordes of the Abyss

    Yah. The Daemon Hordes of Gehenna from Green Ronin actually make excellent replacements for hordlings, but they're not much like yugoloths. The Horde, called also the hordlings and, more specifically, the Hordes of Hades, fall into seven major groups corresponding to the seven classical sins...

    Exactly right. Hopefully you'll include all the molydeus types (everything from the lowly monodeus and duodeus to the exalted secundeus and primdeus).

    Fiendish Codex I: Hordes of the Abyss

    Krust, you still don't seem to see what I'm trying to do here. I'm not criticizing the books, only describing them. You don't have to defend or rationalize Gygax's choices, because I never questioned them. Gravestone (and maybe Sigildark and Staphloccus) was a henchman. The Diseased Eight were...

    Yeah, Peter Adkison bought it from them. Just to have it, I guess. 'Cause it's his baby.

    Fiendish Codex I: Hordes of the Abyss

    No. Dumalduns were opossum-like creatures. (Dance of Demons, p. 66) Some of Gygax's Abyssal creatures were certainly renamed AD&D fiends (for example, boorixtroi are obviously goristroi), but not the ones I was talking about. My only intention was to list some differences between Gygax's...

    Fiendish Codex I: Hordes of the Abyss

    Krypter, the logical error you and some others are making is that you're referring to Planescape as if it was a monolithic entity, where in fact it was a number of different contributors, each with their own interpretations of how things should be. For example, this is how Colin McComb...

    When did "Medireview" = Medieval???

    It's a bug in Yahoo mail and in Plastic. And "nukular" isn't a grammar issue - it's just a pronounciation issue. The word's grammatical use doesn't change depending on how you pronounce it. Complaining about it is like complaining that the k in "knight" is silent, unlike in the good old days of...

    Greyhawk Oddities

    He was intended to be something of an enigma. He's one of a large number of mysteries Carl Sargent added to the Oerth simply because a world is better with more mysteries in it. The idea, as he explained it in Dragon Magazine, was that if a campaign has become oversaturated with the Circle of...
