Kazaa and Morpheous are the same program. Same networks. Same files being shared. The only difference is the logos on the front end of the program and the amount of spyware Kazaa puts in.

If posts on this topic don't 'get all that much attention' on the house rules forum, as you put it, why would they warrant their own board? A new board should be created to give a high traffic topic room to breathe, or to take a topic out of a forum it really has no business being in. IMO...

And dont forget, there is a stacking +1 to the DC of the Fort Save each round you are casting, so having a low casting bonus and taking longer to cast means those last few saves before your spell is done are going up against some heavy DCs. All in all I think it balances pretty well.

Go for it, whatever it takes to get Stan's crap "art" out of the mags. Anything is better than his poorly drawn, sexist piles of crap that have been popping up more and more in Dragon, Dungeon/Poly and Star Wars gamer. Good god, please make it stop.

Good Lord, that's about useless... There is an Assassin's Guild in Greyhawk city. Thjey have no clever name, simply known as the Greyhawk City Assassin's Guild. They, along with the Thieves Guild, are pretty influental and involved in local politics, and they have the resources to be involved...

Re: Thanks for the help! I've perused the website, but a lot of the material seems bent towards _living_ greyhawk (you know, officially adjudicated competition etc). I'm just interested in running a small campaign, and providing my players with some background material on the world. The LGG...

Too late :-P I've looked over the website, and from the example art I've got a few observations. The cover sucks, in big old galatic sized ways. It's cheesy, Star Frontiers feeling nothingness that fails to convey any feel for the game system or setting. It's bad. I'm with you, the old black...

Oh, I almost forgot, rumor has it that the LGG may be going out of print soon, so if you're going to get it, do it now, or risk high prices on EBay later.

I'm not sure why I even bother anymore... The LGG is HUGE in the way of support for Greyhawk as the core setting. There is also the smaller D&D gazetteer, the Living Greyhawk Journal section of Dragon (not to mention the LGJ back issues you can get via the RPGA website.), the Return to the...

Oerth Journal 1 had the timelines. While canon timelines don't interest me too much honestly, I will jump on the 'submit it to greytalk/canonfire' bandwagon. If you want some feedback (and can handle the criticism of any possible mistakes) those are the places to do it. As was mentioned...

Particular things that bugged me: the sets of alliances made and broken in the Greyhawk wars; Wars have a funny habit of causing alliances that die out shortly after or are shattered by treachery. To me, this makes the wars seem more real. Iuz successfully impersonating a Suel god to take...

And your post is yet another example of how this is an empty, stupid, and meaningless advertising slogan. I like Necromancer's stuff, but that slogan is just plain moronic.

You know, have you thought about starting a small venture doing reformatting of the files for international players who want A4 format? You'd need to get permission to alter and redistribute the files from the publishers, but as long as they still get their money, they would probably be willing...

I really advise against using Valley Elves as a PC race. They are pretty isolationist, rarely if ever leaving the Valley of the Mage, and they are despised by just about every other race in the Flanaess. They make good bad guys, but like the Drow, I really think they are best left as monsters...

You might also be thinking of Lendor. As the god of time, it is perfectly reasonable to put him in a role of the lore keeper of the GH gods, having a vast library containing the true history of everything that has ever happened on Oerth.

I'm with Erik, I've always said O-erth. I find combining the OE into one sound is awkward. I feel the same about the EO sound in a few Greyhawk names (mainly countries). While I know the word yeoman is actually pronounced yo-min, I tend to call the yeomanry yee-oh-man-ree, because it fits with...

Consider that this is only hearsay, and for obvious reasons I won't qoute where the info came from: I hear the 'webmaster' job at WotC is a sub 30k a year position. If this is true, and I really have no reason to doubt that it is considering the crappy navigation design and connectivity...

Yeah, there is. It has something do do with '4 cents a word for some company (that may or may not even survive to print the thing and thus pay me) aint payin my rent' Sure, I could do it part time, but that means less attention to the lady of the house, which again, isn't justified by a few...

GURPS is Steve Jackson Games' Generic Universal Role Playing System ( http://www.sjgames.com/gurps/ ). It is essentially the same type of rules system that d20 is, in the sense that it is a core set of fairly universal and generic rules that can be adapted or expanded easily to fit into any...

A bump, and a reminder that I haven't forgotten or abandoned the thread, I've just been busy with work and not had a chance to really work on weighing the suggestions made by everyone. I hope to get to it soon and post the next installment. Thanks to everyone who participated.
