Plus the grandfather plaque, originating in the same Dragon article as the spouter, stone lion, and the archer gargoyle. I should've remembered that - I own the book. Alzrius was not totally wrong about the one-hit wonders. All of the really cool ones have been reprinted somewhere. Oh, well. At...

Very well... Gargoyle, Archer: From Dragon #223. There is something endearing about a malicious stone cherub that shoots arrows at people when nobody is looking. Golem, Nyraala: From Dragon #255, the nyraala golem is an illithid creation of flesh and psionically active mucous. I've been hoping...

I think Bahamut's first appearance in the Realms was in H4: The Throne of Bloodstone, where he had a significant role. He was also mentioned in the 2E supplement FOR1: Draconomicon, a Realms-specific accessory.

Personally, I'd prefer Friday. Gives me more free time to work on the story.

The Dragonlord is...

Heh. You'll groan when you find out. I know I did when I figured out who Coach Hank, Robert, and Sheila were. I didn't consciously reference Tomb of Horrors in there, I think, but it's possible something slipped in. I know there are references to at least two adventure modules and some of the...

So do I. It's a Master-Level DM card, and I remember my number by heart. I also have a D&D bumper sticker in my car. "I Played D&D Before It Was Cool." My geekiest moment... pretty hard to say. My life has more or less been one continuous string of geekiness. I have an aura of geek around me...

Excellent. Thank you for your critique and observations. I liked the beholder scene quite a bit myself. I feel similarly about the ending, but I was running out of time. I blame most of the typos, grammatical errors, and tautologisms on the same problem. So, anyone figure out the real name of...

Bumpity bump, though I'm kinda starting to lose hope.

I can't shake the feeling that the hawk named Kitty is somehow setting up for an immensely bad Wright brothers joke.

Except in D20 Modern, where it's the opposite, for fire safety reasons.

Modrons, who really need to get a full 3.5 treatment, and soon. I also have a soft spot for the various creepy crawlies of the Far Realm, such as the kaorti and the various pseudonatural creatures - and, by extension, the daelkyr.

Usually, my group doesn't break modules. However, in the Finnish Living Greyhawk circles there was a situation in 2004 and 2005 when we wound up somehow breaking every other module, due to writers' assumptions that the group was to be heroic (Fury of a Cold Man's Heart - little kid came to the...

And the new preview is up, consisting mainly of these two pictures: Looks like a chasme demon. Presumably a large stag beetle. This one is going to see use, I think. Not so sure about the chasme.

Hmm. In the only one of my current campaigns where this has come up, we've generally taken everything that's marked on his character sheet, sold it, and divided up the profits equally between all. Thus far, this has happened to our dread necromancer and our incarnate. There was also a knight, I...

The Time of Troubles occurred in 1358 Dalereckoning, the Year of Shadows. Ao, the overgod, cast the gods down in mortal form among the peoples of Faerûn, to find the Tablets of Fate that had been stolen. The thieves were the Dead Three, Bane, Bhaal and Myrkul, who all died during the Time. Other...

The Thunder Peaks (along with the Storm Horns) were also covered in one of the booklets in the Elminster's Ecologies box. Incidentally, the random encounter tables for the mountain ranges contain the tarrasque. As for dragons, the booklet lists Yiami, a female crystal in the northern Thunder...

Over here, we've generally gone with the following: Oeridians: Mediterranean people, perhaps Roman and Greek. Suel: Scandinavian and Germanic people. Suloise villains (read: Scarlet Brotherhood) are generally referred to as looking like the SS officer in Raiders of the Lost Ark. Also, everyone...

I prefer to start at first level. Heck, I'd start at level 0 if given the chance. I dislike combat around and past level 10. It's too difficult, too powerful, too unforgiving for small mistakes or an unbalanced party. At least as written. I can modify it how I wish when I'm running the game, but...
