    Find that Drow!

    Yah, his 2E stats are in the Villains' Lorebook, which is one of the freebie downloads somewhere on wizards.com. Wasn't he statted up in Underdark, though?

    Gamer lingo glossary

    To my understanding, it originates with the White Wolf crowd. The company was putting out several different game lines - Vampire, Werewolf, Mage, Changeling, and so forth. For each game line, there was a line of accessories for the different clans, tribes, traditions, kiths, whatevers. People...

    Greyhawk: Looking for quintessential book on pantheon

    Dragon ran a three-part article series named "The Oeridian Lesser Gods" in issues 263-265. I'm not quite sure about the specific deities, but I know Telchur was there, as were Rudd and Delleb. Possibly also Sotillion, Atroa and Wenta.

    Best Five RPG Books You Own

    In no particular order... Godlike: Superhero Roleplaying in a World on Fire 1936-1946 by Hobgoblynn Press The best superhero RPG I have ever played. It eschews the most grievous clichés of the genre and interprets it in a realistic manner. The mechanics are quick and innovative, and the...

    Obscure RPGs

    I'd guess the most obscure game in my collection is Taiga, a postapocalyptic game about gangs of survivors in what used to be Russia. Distributed in USA by Rennaissance Ink. Allegedly, the writer owns a stockpile of the rulebooks but refuses to sell them, preferring to use them to warm up his sauna.

    Conventions -- Why do you go?

    Because when the biggest gaming convention in the Northern Europe is fifteen minutes' drive away and your friends are converging upon it from three different countries, you don't have the option to skip. Also, I get to run games. Play games. Buy games I never would have bought otherwise. Raid...

    Latest RPG purchases - first impressions

    I liked the City of Peril very much. As a DDM player, one can appreciate the cheesiness of using Storm Silverhand to cast fly on a Valenar Nomad Charger, who then proceeds to make quick attacks against the enemy, flying from rooftop to rooftop. It's actually so unsportsmanlike I don't do it...

    Enworld Short Story Smackdown (aka Ceramic DM) - sign-up thread

    I'd love to participate, but my summer is a minefield of deadlines for other writing projects, some of which I am, strangely enough, getting paid for. No time for the breakneck pace of Ceramic DM, I'm afraid. Looks like I'll be following from the sidelines. (My book on roleplaying games is...

    Penguin-type PC races out there?..and an F.Realms question.

    Well, there is an artifact in the Realms called the Moonpenguin of Boof. It's from the comics, but I've got no idea what it does, where it comes from, or if it's even real.

    When will you see 'Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End?'

    Came back from the theatre four hours ago. It rocketh mightily.

    New Living Greyhawk Campaign manual out

    No. Looks like Sheldomar just manifested across the Gulf of Finland. Now, if only there were Estonian D&D players...

    D&D 2 (WotDG) on British Television this Wednesday

    Interesting. Maybe this means we might finally see the R2 DVD release in a couple of months.

    Night Below Preview 2

    The one below Raistlin might be a babau. Thin guy, single horn.

    Roleplaying outside the U.S.

    Both. While GrimGent is right and the tabletop gamers still probably outnumber larpers, the larpers are quite numerous and active. There are Harry Potter larps, fantasy larps, Vampire larps, and then there's stuff like Luminescence. When it comes to weirdo larpers, Finland, Sweden, Norway and...

    Good PCs Attacking a Neutral Temple

    I recognise the adventure in question. Let's just say that while it really is neutral, one should bear in mind that D&D alignment has two components, and they're worshiping a different deity entirely than the one they profess. Me, I'd give the offenders a fair trial. The temple dislikes drawing...

    What's your alignment in real life?

    Neutral good. Lathander would probably be my patron.

    When did you start using Greyhawk?

    2004, when I first sat in a Living Greyhawk game at Ropecon. It's an interesting and cool setting that I want to see more of. I think the greatest problem it has is that it's very, very generic. Baseline D&D fantasy. From a distance, nearly indistinguishable from Forgotten Realms or...

    Core Beliefs articles

    Yeah, something like that. :cool: I'd settle for just the human deities, though, who only run up to the mid-seventies.

    Core Beliefs articles

    Ah, but they could use it to pave the way for 4E, where Greyhawk, naturally, would be the default setting. Once they had all the deities covered, time would be ripe for the fourth edition of D&D.

    Core Beliefs articles

    And then they could follow that up with the rest of the Greyhawk deities... Come on, Wastri needs more love.
