Why does any of this matter?

1067 pages. That seems like a lot. Maybe the most pages of replies ever on ENworld? Or perhaps not. Missed my chance to post as a tribute to Hastings, alas.

Yes.

Tsojcanth and the Forgotten Temple of Tharizdun are in the Yatils. Finding Tsojcanth was a part of the plot in that one.

I prefer calling it by its older name: the Known World. Especially when it’s not the primary setting you’re playing in, it sounds cool. More well … mysterious … than Mystara.

I hope they keep new Greyhawk as light as possible. Hopefully just a short introduction, not reams of material overwriting the past.

The only thing I know is it’s called Arn now.

Sounds like the split in half moon in Thundarr the Barbarian. Hadn’t thought of that in a few decades. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thundarr_the_Barbarian

Yup. I’m thinking the Realm might work as a far away part of Oerth - not in the Flanaess which is 99.5% of Greyhawk materials. But I don’t know enough about The Realm to actually do it. If they sold it, I would buy.

Thanks. West Coast lunchtime reading catching up from oldest and hadn’t gotten there yet.

Can give us the Snarf Long Explanation of this brief?

Horses need shoeing? But the cavalry sent to put down local marauders are all at the only ferrier for their own needs?

Too late now, I suppose, but the mission could be something mundane, like buy supplies for the pirate ship. Cap’n needs 6 new block & tackles and 8 ropes each 150 ft. long. But there are supply chain issues. What to do with such a simple mission?

Yes. Define “Aim”? Depends on who is DMing for Tone and Subject. Ron varies a bit. This campaign was Ravenloft, then at Super Bowl time went to Murderball championship with Strahd betting on the game against Jabba the Hutt. Now we’re on a sinking ship full of traps. Which is to say, he...

This is a strange world to me. Are DM’s competing for strangers to play with them in some competitive marketplace? When I ask someone if they want to join my campaign the question I ask is: “Do you want to play D&D?” When I joined my pal Ron’s game, his recruiting spiel was: “I’m running a VTT...

That sounds like a theory from someone who is afraid to roll all the dice for 80 1st level Warrior crossbowmen attacking. I did it (in 3.5e) and the number of crits (somehow I rolled 17 natch 20’s) was devastating. It makes spells like Protection from Normal Missiles seem like more than a relic...

Yes, they were first introduced in AD&D (1e) in the Greyhawk adventure “Dwellers of the Forbidden City” and added to the rulebooks in Monster Manual 2 as Mongrelmen. By 3e, the name was Mongrelfolk. I don’t recall them being “disabled”. Perhaps that’s lore added along the way that I missed?

I have one for my 3.5e campaigns. Likely “D&D” means 5e or 5e/2024 though to folks here. It’s focus on the most important choices of character creation - a quick cheat sheet for classes, races, and ability scores - not “what’s an RPG”. I haven’t met a new player in decades who hasn’t played...

Presumably the royals knows this town is a nest of vipers and likely to attack them when they pass through. Depending on the nature of the royals, it may be time to go medieval on this town. Surround it with troops and send in the marines to with NPC adventurers to “clean it out”. IMC, the...

Is there a VTT that handles 3.5e? My main game is over email - Excel for maps and Word for the action and dialogue. The one I co-DM/mostly handed off to my niece is on Zoom, again using Excel for maps, Word for character sheets, and rolling live dice. I play in a 5e game where we use D&D...
