Diaglo cameo in Wilderlands Boxed Set?!?!?!

[Blair Goatsblood]

Just came across this:
"..... The cult of ODD, a band of evil fighters lead by the Evil Lord Diaglus controls the northern shores. Diaglus is known for his adherence to the cult’s simple tenet of “ODD is the only true religion. All the other religions are only poor imitations of the real thing.” The cultists have no magic using members. They kill on sight."

hilarity...although I would have made Diaglus good instead of evil...

Obviously he's lawful neutral. Do I need to spell out the reasons?

(j/k - he's only LN on the one topic.)

No, Diaglus should have been Lawful, Neutral, or Chaotic.

The whole Good-Evil complication was not part of the god ODD's (1974) schema!


Edit: And he should be a 'fighting man', not a 'fighter'!

I am sure one of the authors definitely based that of Diaglo. Cool beans!!

heh, that's pretty funny

Anyone know of any other obviousl cameos in D&D and other games??

Okay, here's my rewrite:
"..... The cult of ODD, a band of evil fighting men lead by the Chaotic Lord Diaglus controls the northern shores. Diaglus is known for his adherence to the cult’s simple tenet of “ODD is the only true religion. All the other religions are only poor imitations of the real thing.” The cultists have no magic users among them. They kill on sight."

There are a number of them, I remember coming across one about the "Rolling Stones" and Martha Stewart. I vaguely remember another one that had to do with Aerosmith. There were others but I don't remember them.

don't forget to include Marcie as one of my minions. she killed Blackleaf btw.

and the cult should be located in some steam tunnels.
