It's like waiting for the LOTR movies all over again!

http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/drdd/20070921 Seeing the gold ole' shaggy manticore definately makes me feel good about the monster design for 4E. My DDM manticore worked as a female for a small family group, but the default manticore should have a beard by Crom!

Throw the lot into a sphere of annihilation and be done with them. They're just "feat sinks" for new D&D players.

spells?

I don't recall any mention of sorcerers in the 4E tidbits we've been fed, but the Warlock is a base class and there's seems to be lots of work going into retooling Wizards....

I like this one.

Sarku replaced Orcus in my Wilderlands campiagn...and Harkmakhis is one of his subdeities

For me, the Devils and Demons lost their "evil mojo" in 2nd ed. dur to too much information. When it comes to other planes & otherworldly terrors, for me, less is more, just as HPL and REH did it. Knowing about their politics and wars them them pedestrian.

Heck, my campaign world is THE EARTH, far Far FAR in the future. The gods are the actual deities out of mythology....and alien gods. Monsters are the result of genetic engineering, or are aliens, or are from other planes. Demons are from HP Lovecrafts/RE Howwards "Outer Void of Cosmic Insanity"...

I never really found the fluff, planes, etc. part of the essence of D&D. To me that stuff was l for folks that were REALLY into the "Dungeons & Dragons Official Backstory." The type that would read the novels, were interested in the offical line on "where the d&d world came from", "how did...

*high five*

And that is something I can do well without in D&D...fellow vancouverite.

Although I imagine that they'll be rebranded as "Demons." Reasoning: - Asmodeus wil be a God whereas Orcus is going to be a Monster. - I believe there was a reference that alignment was going to be less a part of the game world or somesuch. - WOTC seems to have a program to rebuild their...

Between the slavers, cultists, pterodactyls, vikings, mad wizards, pirates, undead, orcs, warfare and debased rulers, it's pretty much dangerous everywhere.

Personally, I have no problem with CE deities having LE priests.

In the City State of the Invincible Overlord, there is a temple to th Gargoyle God..who is a gigantic gargoyle disguised as an idol of the deity. So yeah, since the seventies, the gargoyles have worshipped th gargoyle god. I guess they travel to the CSIO for weddings, funerals, sunday school, etc.

In believe that the EN symbol was not invented by them, and is an old symbol for a person?

Hmm, in 1st ed. Locathah had more going for them...they always rode giants eels, lived in castle like rock formations and were very (11-12) intelligent! The main problem with them is that they're rendered redundant by merpeople....the other neutral sea people, but the kind that you already know...

Gary, I was curious regarding you opinions reagarding alignment languages. What was the inspiration for them, and what would the "game world" explanation for them be? From a wargaming perspective, it makes sense, got to have some way for the masse armies of disparate lawful or chaotic troops to...

Ah, so you like having some eye-candy in your fantasy illustration... ;)
