In the Dawn War pantheon? All Exarchs are ascended mortals that attained "exarchhood" after the war (the exception being the Dwarven Pantheon, as they attained exarchhood during the Dawn War") . There are no proper gods (as in, the original gods that coalesced out of the Astral Sea) of...

Call me conspiranoid (?), but the choice of words in that guide is... Interesting, to say the less.

Well, finished your post. I just want to say that I don't think it is fair to say 5e took away the "weird" out of D&D. This is something that was there before 5e was a thing. It was there even before 4e was a thing. I remember how mad the people in my gaming circle were when I proposed to add...

I'm sorry I get to notice the tangential details of the post, but... They named a group of evil elves "the Pharisee"? Really?

Yeah, I think gnomes will be more fit with being "bobos", lol

Yes, I think is part of the issue. Verbobonc is an exception because "bobo" has meaning in Spanish: translates as "dumb". In fact, Verbobonc almost sounds as "ver bobos" ("look at dumb [people]") in Spanish. That's is why is an immersion breaking name, lol.

Don't worry, is ok. Spanish is my native language.

Geoff makes more sense to me than Verbobonc. But that's perhaps English is not my native language, and Geoff can pass as sn European-like name.

Just 3 things by now. And two are not the fault of the setting per se, but more about the fans. The names, tho, that is how the setting was built.

Good thing this is a name that can be translated to my language and makes sense, lol

I was pronouncing it "Orth" all this time... Now, you broke my bubble..

I'm going to say it. I cannot take the setting seriously with all the funny sounding names. I roll my eyes every time I read Verbobonc...

I'm also over this as well. I'm grateful with those who indulged me, lol. Now, I have the 2024 info, Living Greyhawk Gazetter and the 1983 World of Greyhawk book. Do I need something more, or this is enough to have "the basics"

You almost made me imagine some ancient desserts scattered in the desert...

As I've said before, I just use dragonborn as an example because that's the species that old skool DMs typically hate for reasons I don't really understand. But I can change to catgirl or shadowman and it would hardly made a difference. Sure, there is the Forgotten Realms, where these races...

This would have been the ideal. And why I was not enthusiastical with the return of Greyhawk. After all, Greyhawk has a legacy and an established fanbase, and trying to deviate from it is going to make some people angry (I know it, I'm angry about Dragon Age right now). But, on the other hand...

Well, I don't see a problem with having Tolkienian species in the game. They have become staple of fantasy after all (or at least, the dwarf-elf-human trio). My only problem is trying to make them the exclusive species you must play. I'm accustomed to the really diverse world of Warcraft, after...

According to what I've read at Havard's website, he was still alive when they wrote that book, and he approved the idea. In fact, he wrote a manuscript with ideas for what would have been a whole line of 4e products based on Blackmoor (similar to the d20 line) that got cancelled after he passed...

It's not irreconcilable, either. She may want to spy on someone, or keep the cult from entering her lands. Isolationism doesn't mean she is going to leave her lands be destroyed by these smurfing elemental lovers. That this ends up benefiting other kingdoms is just an unintended side-effect that...

I just have the 4e book (that it has the same lore from the 3e book, but updated with 4e species), but the 3e/d20 line is regarded as very good. There is also the living adventures for the d20 line, that you can get in Havard's Blackmoor/Mystara website.
