It looks like you can sign up for the Wizard's Play Network for home (private) events. I don't know if this gives you access to the LFR adventures but it looks like you need a DCI/RPGA number to sign up. This number can only be provided from a WPN location. These all seem to be in North America...

Everyone will agree that the production values and the depth and care given to 3e era Realms was great but that era isn't much different to the Gray box era except that the Time of Troubles occurred, Bane/Bhaal/Myrkul were killed and replaced by Cyric, etc... Those great production values could...

What was Ed's original version like? I put it up there as a choice but, to be honest, don't know much about it. I've heard that Ed's original Realms doesn't have any real world analogues like Kara-Tur, Zakhara, Maztica, etc. But at the same time, I've heard the original Realms had connectivity...

Is 3.0/3.5 Realms much different from Gray Box era Realms? From a marketing point of view, going back to "Classic Era" 1357 DR Realms might pack more of a punch. Perhaps 3.0/3.5 era Realms might not be as popular also as it acknowledges the Time of Troubles which some fans think of as just...

I guess one big problem about going back in time is that the Forgotten Realms has always had a metaplot tied closely to events in it's novel line. If you back track to, say, the Spellplague Era, do you have to honour all the current 4E timeline novels? It would be difficult to design with that...

It's been a while and I was wondering if anyone's heard anything? I'd love to see Castle Zagyg finished.

Thanks for everyone's responses. I've boiled it down to 2 settings: 1) 4E Forgotten Realms (ie. post-Spellplague, 1479DR) OR 2) 4E Taladas - after the events in the Taladas Chronicles trilogy

I've finally decided to give 4E a whirl. I'll still keep my 3E Greyhawk game active though. I can't decide on a published campaign setting though. - Greyhawk is out as I'm running that with 3E. - Forgotten Realms and Dragonlance are out because I use the Great Wheel cosmology and they are...

This web page doesn't seem to link for me. Is it just me or is it broken? I'd love to read it.

Thanks, everyone. I found this on the Vaults of Pandius site that covers the events of the Wrath of the Immortals: I imagine there would be some controversy about the high-tech stuff in Mystara too. A nuclear reactor from a crashed space ship that the Immortals are fighting over might be too...

I own most BECMI adventures and was thinking of hunting down the Wrath of the Immortals boxed set. Can someone please tell me the basic events that happen in it? Also, why has it divided the Mystara community? All I know is that it has something to do with Blackmoor (as presented in modules...

This seems highly restrictive to the cleric. Imagine a high priest of Orcus who could only cast up to 4th level spells - and those 4th level spells had to be granted to him in the presence of Orcus himself! 3rd level spells could get to him but a succubus would have to gate in to personally...

So in 3E, a cleric could not be a priest of, say, Orcus without taking the Thrall to Demon feat?

Yes, Eberron is unique as a cleric can stray from the tenants of his god but still get access to divine spells. For example, a cleric of a Good god could become corrupt and evil but still get divine spells. I think the cleric still needs to "believe" he is serving the god, however - even though...

How does Golarion distinguish between archfiends and gods? Are their relative power levels the same? Or are gods much more powerful? Does Golarion have different power levels for gods: demigod/lesser/greater etc? Would the spells granted by Golarion's archfiends come from them directly or are...

I like the sound of this but how do you explain arcane magic? How did mortals learn the language of arcane magic and the rituals involved to cast arcane spells? Did the gods teach them also?

This poses the question of why worship the gods in the first place? The gods of Krynn are fickle and cause so much strife - just look at the world's history. :) Krynn survived perfectly well for nearly 40 years without the gods during the Age of Mortals. The people discovered divine magic...

Yes, I remember that rule! I think it went something like: All clerics can cast spells of 1st & 2nd level from faith alone (no prayer necessary). Spells of 3rd level and higher, however, need to be prayed for and are granted to the cleric by the deity. Demigods grant spells up to 5th level...
