Pretty much I recall that Dendar the Night Serpent and some wolf in the Realms settings are ripoffs of Norse mythos. (I recall that Dragon Magazine had an article where the wolf was bound in a story that would have violated copyright law if it was not part of the public domain -- with Tyr...

That may be an option, but I presumed that the DM wanted to have a few spellcasters more powerful than the PCs. With time, PCs can and perhaps should supplant the NPCs of established guilds as the people that those in power turn to in times of need. (The PCs may chose to become those in power...

I would have had the Mage Guild deal with the threat, and have the PCs help out with the war. The leaders of the Mage Guild could then resume their normal duties, and maybe ask the PCs to track down a lose end from stopping the end of the world. (Maybe following up reports of a cult in the...

It is late, but as I recall from another thread SPOILER (Highlight for information.) Khelben Arunsun and Halaster killed each other. Khelben is at peace, so he is not coming back.

Well, possibly there might be a major distinction between the devil lords and archfiends is that the archfiends want to rule over what exists, not necessarily destroy it. Some may fancy keeping some places looking exactly as they are now. Some demon lords and princes may want to rule,but to...

It is also relatively easy for DMs to replace Tharzidun with deities appropriate to their campaign, or rule that if they have an alternate cosmology that the one presented as the core cosmology may either actually co-exist or be someone's views of how things are structured. (Perhaps using the...

Having thousands of mages go insane or die, having several faiths lose their deities and their powers could be a bit of an uproar. Similarly, if some planes collapse and their deities move to other planes, there may be some instances of clerics being out of touch with their gods. Add in...

Elminster could still be good, but might be a bit more careful of involving people in his plans if a few friends died when a plan went horrifically bad. So, he might turn into more of an advisor, and working behind the scenes. He could move more from the old wizard in the tower to someone...

Someone at WotC said in response to Ari's guess that on some distant worlds with names like Arvandor or Arcadia, powerful and even more alien eladrin with strange names like gaele and braelani dwell: You're a smart man, Ari. So, expect the powerful eladrin to be around.

Can we have maybe a little more light and a little less heat in this thread. I don't want to see a blow up that will cause the moderators to shut things down. I guess this is something where your miles may vary. I have pretty much been in home brews with an occassional trip into the Realms or...

See my earlier comments on the Espruar elven font -- an elf would likely use Ks to render that name in our alphapet. Of course, I would like to see the CCC resembling a krispy kritter -- that kind of had a skydiving accident onto a few hundred upright spears.

I probably supplied the blueberries, but as I understand that snacks are problematic, I am sure there will be a lot of good things to snack on at Games Plus. Also, I am willing to be a back up GM for one slot -- in case we get any cancellations. (I have not decided what to play in yet.)

Go to http://www.rasalvatore.com/ and read the excerpt of the Orc King set some 100 years from the current Realms timeline.

Different things can happen in a large area, so that would be sufficient to keep Drizzt or another character busy. Also, I imagine that if the Realms is shook up greatly, there will be even more reason to keep the big name NPCs busy elsewhere -- with perhaps a hint of what is going on...

Also, do realize that what is being said of both races is a BROAD generalization. There may well be elven cultures that have a strong focus on logic, reason, and mental abilities, and eladrin cultures that rely more on instinct. Indeed, there is no reason that nonhuman cultures can't be as...

I do not have a problem with a setting having powerful NPCs -- rather, what matters is how they are used. We should also recall that the World of Greyhawk has NPCs like Mordenkainen, Tenser, Robilar, and Rary. To my mind, most worlds should have people who are more capable than the characters...

It is hard to see if there would be a loss of fans of the Realms with a 100 year jump to a very different setting. I t would seem that people here have different experiences and different perspectives. We should remember that the views on this board for and against such an idea are a small...

This page on the Espruar font shows that there is no C in Espruar, so it looks like the Casin Cu Calas could easily be spelled in Common script with either the Thorass equivalent of C or K. (if you have the FRCS book, note that c is crossed out in the Espruar script.) So, an elf who would...

I think we would have to shrink Elminster, shave his head and beard -- nah too much trouble. Besides, EGG might claim infingement rights. On a more serious note, there is a great Irish myth involving Cuchulainn who fights a great warrior and kills him -- only learning as the young man died...

If I recall the alphabet used by the elves in Faerun and the one used by the humans, is there no letter c. (In English, the letter c is mostly redundant as it individually sounds s or k, except when comboned with h for the sound in church.) The CCC is a bit much, and I would love to see it...
