Why don't you just say that they want to satisfy the high demand and listen to the many people who practically begged them to reprint these books, because they were only available for ridiculous prices? And the new version of the SW RPG has been officially announced. All facts are in the open...

One of the classics of D&D gets a new interpretation, too. Including the spaceship ;). Check here! :)

Well, I suppose the game is pretty harmless. But the name is something that would prevent me from buying the game in a shop. I simply don't like the connotation of a middle-aged man going into a shop and buying a game about Japanese schoolgirls called "Panty Explosion". I don't have problems...

I just applied my store credit to it (well, it's $0.00 anyway), and this moved it to the bookshelf :).

Your assumption is wrong, as I already pointed out in post #305. The Grimms point out that there are beautiful elves and ugly elves, and dwarves is one name usually used for the ugly ones. They explicitly say that the dwarf Alberich sits in between, because he is both at the same time, light and...

Yes, thanks a lot, Mark :).

Which doesn't change the fact that the Grimm brothers saw dwarves as a kind of elf.

3amgames have also taken all hints at "Monsters of the Savage Snow" from their website. The Wanderers Guild probably called it a day.

Actually, this illustrates the problem of your last question to me nicely, and it's more or less the answer. The Grimm brothers are familiar with elves, because one of their publications was the collection "Irische Elfenmärchen" (Irish Fairy Tales, 1826). The literal translation would be "Irish...

But he is an elf king, the typical envoy of death.

That's right. I have always been interested in the Dead Sea Scrolls :p ;).

I'm not sure whether anyone already mentioned it, but Bard's Gate sells momentarily for $9.56 (or less for members) at Barnes & Noble online.

In the most common version of the Nibelung, that dwarf is called "Alberich". Which means "King of the Elves" *shrug*.

I suppose that the addressee of this plea doesn't post enough to get any name recognition :D. As to the question: I always pictured Denev as the earth itself.

This is correct. And this is the main reason why anyone calling out WotC for violating "traditional" racial stereotypes is so much off target.

I just thought of a whole Kama Sutra set for the battlemat. Hmm... sounds somehow wrong. I have to look whether the BoEF copies in my local Borders are still there.

I didn't mean it that way. I mentioned Tomb of Abysthor, which is also a dungeon crawl, and a quite interesting one. The point is simply that I do not like spending weeks and weeks of playtime in one dungeon. It's a psychological thing. I never looked at the "World's Largest Dungeon" because I...

I'm not Ranes, but I never bothered buying Rappan Athuk 1-3. They looked like one big dungeon crawl, and like a less fun one than Tomb of Abysthor. And I'm someone who bought lots of Necromancer products.

There's a larger version of the first map in Odhanan's blog (first link) here :).

Wow! Those are really cool support materials! Thanks muchly :)!
