Alhazredminster! Cheers, Cam

I've always called them heroes. In the Dragonlance adventures I wrote for MWP, that's the standard. It was also standard for the SAGA Fifth Age game, which called PCs "heroes" and NPCs "characters." I like "supporting characters" instead of NPCs, myself. Somebody once complained to me that...

You absolutely can. This is why there's no Spelljammer port in Palanthas. All D&D settings feature retcons, revisions, updates, and corrections. They also feature numerous contradictions and poor choices. It's quite possible we made a few of the latter during our time shepherding Dragonlance...

They're welcome to them! Cheers, Cam

Hi folks, Yes, with the success of our Cortex System in our licensed properties, it has always been part of our plan to release a "generic" rulebook and offer the system for 3rd party use. We haven't yet finalized the terms and other details, but we've already talked with a few small publishers...

Hey all, Despite mysterious delays (we blame a Cylon virus) our weekly bonus game content has finally been posted. You can find the final installment of our three-part series on Survivors of the Fleet by content author Jason Durall here. All shall be revealed! Cheers, Cam

As Trampas says, the Whitestone Council wasn't in charge of making any decisions over content, so you can't blame them for the kodragons being tossed out the continuity window. ;) Cheers, Cam

I always thought it was "evil horn." Wasn't the 1e malebranche the horned devil, which later became the cornugon in 2e? Checking the 1e MM, I see that I am correct on both counts. Cheers, Cam

If it's purely cosmetic, then it's a good thing. Cheers, Cam

Nobody has commented on the Change Shape? It seems as if it's going to be just as annoying as it always was, unless the rules on page 280 are really, really well-written. Cheers, Cam

The Nexus is perfect for those monsters MWP wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole, yes. :) Echohawk - I'm somewhat misremembering. I know we had shimmerweed planned for Key of Destiny, but it looks like it never made it even into an errata document! I will see if I can find the original writeup...

Right. There were a lot of creatures we never bothered to convert because they were, for all intents and purposes, an old creature with some random extra thing added that wasn't really all that exciting. One of the cool things is that the original modules were a haven for MM2 and FF creatures...

Death Statues - Construct / Dragons of Spring School of Salmon - Animal Swarm Bear, Ice - Animal / Dragons of Winter (used advanced polar bears) Dragon, Astral, Unmated - Dragon / No longer in continuity Dwarf, Zakhar - Humanoid / Races of Ansalon, Dark Dwarf Imp, Blood Sea - Monstrous Humanoid...

Echohawk, do you own all of the MWP products? Races of Ansalon, Bestiary of Krynn (revised), Dragons of Krynn, etc? A lot of these are either already converted (with a new name) or not considered part of continuity (like the astral dragons and kodragons) and thus won't be converted. Trust me...

One of the first things I'll be doing as part of my unofficial 4e Dragonlance conversion is Krynnish gnomes. I don't expect them to be anything like the ones in the MM, though. Cheers, Cam

D&D 4e will simulate a game of D&D amazingly well. Cheers, Cam

"Death, death, death"? Cheers, Cam

Relax. This is one of the easiest things to house rule ever. In Dragonlance, as with the Realms, paladins are required to have a deity, so this isn't a new thing to me. But it's just as easy to say "my paladin has faith in his ideals and his code" and forget the gods. Cheers, Cam

Or vice versa! Secrets of the Icewind Dales revealed. That and "Crysal-Tirith" not being at all like any other placename ever. Missing a T. Cheers, Cam

I'd buy fighter with warlord training, or vice versa. Tanis never tracked a thing in the books. :) I am also firmly in the camp that says you don't need to be a ranger to use a bow. I suppose he could steal a couple of archery exploits from ranger if he needed to, though. Cheers, Cam
