Yes, just noticed that thread. Many apologies folks. :o

I'm not sure -- and I'm too lazy to consult the War of Souls novels -- but I seem to remember when reading those novels that Githas (and maybe a few other elves) grew up very quickly since the last Age. They sprung from babe to adult almost as quickly as a human. Am I off my tree? Is the elven...

This book *looks* attractive but I'm hesitant to buy (5 out of 10 D&D books turn out to be duds). Is it good? Is it as good as the Draconomicon? Is it Brucy Boy at his best? Thanks.

Is it good? Do you need the RL Campaign Setting book to use it? Will there be supplements released for it? Thanks.

Naw, I run Greyhawk and I'm tickled pink that they put a tiny map of the globe down in the bottom left corner. Gives a DM something to dream about . . . ;)

I'm talking about *product* history. GH has a long line of products beginning from OD&D to 1E to 2E to 3E. ;)

Yes, but how do the elves make it? Do the hammer and smelt the steel like a bunch of sweaty dwarfs in a stuffy forge (doesn't seem very "elf-like")? Or, do they fashion it in some "magical" way? Is there an official answer on this? What's more, do the elves mine the steel (or is it mithral?)...

No, Greyhawks not appropriate because: 1) I'm running it and would nit-pick at him if he ran it; and 2) Greyhawk has a vast history . . . he'll end up wanting to track down all of it's esoteric lore (like me!). He doesn't want to do the latter, he wants something with no "strings attached".

Can't the Kenzer folk just do a simple outline of the globe's continents. Like the tiny globe map discretely in the corner of the LGG and D&D Gazetteer maps? What percentage of crunch is in the Kalamar core setting book? (Why aren't there more zero-crunch setting books like the LGG?) Thanks...

That doesn't sound good. I'm not suprised, though. Crunch is WotC's lifeline. Why not turn it up to the max! Are Eberron's adventures easy for a novice DM to use?

The FRCS is a very *dense* tome by the looks of it. Perhaps it has a little *too* much infomation in one hit.

Yes, just a pet obsesson. He just wants to know what the globe looks like. Of course he'll never travel beyond the Known World of whichever setting he chooses. ;)

Nighfall Scarred Lands needs an easily accessible core book. Midnight sounds a little *too* unusual . . . what with the whole planet taken over by evil. MerricB Ya, this is exactly what I was thinking. Eberron is new. The products are just coming out and my friend can easily keep track of them...

Is it cheating for a GM to make an adventure up off the top of their head? I've got no problems with GMs "winging-it" to fill in unaccounted for "gaps". But I do have problems with GMs who just waltz up to the gaming table and run an adventure pretty much "off the top of their head". I feel so...

My friend wants to run a D&D campaign. He's looking for a published campaign setting that's not too complex and not too *detached* from generic D&D. The campaign setting CAN'T be Greyhawk (because I'm running that) and it can't be Dragonlance (because you need to read the novels . . . "more...

3E is still steeped in tradition. I'd say 80 to 90 per cent is tradition. You still have olde chestnuts of tradition like: arcane/divine magic divide classes like the monk, paladin, druid, etc. alignment short elves Bigby's this-and-that; Mordenkainen's such-and-such and the list goes on . . .

Just wondering if you use the *official* Book of Exhalted Deeds to supplement Monte's Book of Vile Darkness or whether you stay loyal to Monte and use the Book of Hallowed Might which was supposed to arm PCs "against the most *vile* forces of darkness" (read: the Book of Vile Darkness)? Or do...

OK. OK. Those big nosed gully snots can play the mandolin and flute if they wanna.

OK. You want time frame. In the neer furture. 1 to 3 year. Like Planescpe. Mystara. Birthrite. etc. etc.

I knew they'd flush it down the toilet sooner or later. It's very difficult to maintain a D&D campaign setting if it isn't Forgotten Realms. I predict that every published d20 fantasy setting will keel over and die sooner or later . . . including Eberrron. It's unfortunate, but it's what I...
