Dragon #355

[James Jacobs]

James,

It's a good start. Just as long as said Illustration isn't like the one in BoVD and more like the one the Web Enhancement for FC I is like.

Wait. Orcus is the guy with the Ruby Crystal Staff what lives in Nessus, yeah? The guy with the goatee?

No! No!

That's Anthraxus. I can't believe you don't know that. Gosh!

Cheers,
Cam

 

[Cam Banks]

I think I remember James saying something like "Oh, and Orcus is gonna be FAT!" in a meeting today.

I think James was saying "PHAT!" which, as we all know, means something different to the kids.

And yeah, working on an official D&D license is pretty cool.

Cheers,
Cam

No, no, no. He's the guy in the snowsuit who can't bend his arms. He's holding a Red Rider BB gun and the caption should say "You'll shoot your eye out!"

Dargoth,

Bah you and your goddess can believe what you like. Orcus has his wand back and is ready to bring the Cold Lands to heel under his mighty girth.

At the risk of derailing the thread

Umm which goddess would that be?

and Orcus isnt going any where in the Cold lands seeing as how no demon can enter Damara thanks to the Tree of Life which I should gloatingly point out was grown from a piece of the wand of Orcus, which is why the Planescape source book Dead gods doesnt work in the Forgotten Realms (The author of dead gods apparently didnt bother to research the FR material covering Orcus such as H4 Throne of Bloodstone and Bloodstone lands, if he had he would have known that the whole drow goddess vs Orcus thing couldnt work in the realms as the Wand was destroyed in 1358 DR and cant reappear until 1458, the current year is 1375)

 

[BOZ]

Would all this Orcus chatter be satisfied by the ordering of a full-page illustration featuring the Demon Prince of Undeath?

satisfied? no. temporarily staved off? yeah, probably.

No! No!

That's Anthraxus. I can't believe you don't know that. Gosh!

Cheers,
Cam

um, hello, Orcus has two monkey heads. geez!

 

[Shade]

um, hello, Orcus has two monkey heads. geez!

No, you're thinking of Gnollus. Orcus has six-fingers on each hand.

So what domain power does the chastity domain get?

Any sample domain spells?

Nevermind the fact that when the Bloodstone series of adventures started, it wasn't set in the Forgotten Realms...

bonus to Will saves?
