Hi paragon mate!

any new updates?
anything?
word.

Nothing new on the IH front at the moment because I am 100% into getting v4 finished.

Which reminds me I should give everyone an update in that thread.

Once I get this v4 out of the way it will be full steam ahead for the IH.

I'll give you an update on the IH in a week or two; it should be ready for the editor by then.

 

[Revenge of the Bjorn]

Hey all. I have a new 'puter and internet service, and the old screenname (Bjorn Doneerson) doesn't seem to like me very much and won't work, so I scrapped it and made a new one. Holy crap was that a long-arse sentence. Anyway, Krustward, you're starting to give me issues w/ naming conventions for a campaign-thingy I'm trying to work out. I'm trying to get a cool (preferably mythologically based, but whatever...) name for a race of demons who were already in Hell when Satan et al showed up, but it occurs to me if it turns out to be something you used for a creature race or something it'll screw me all up. So could you kindly, a) gimme a name that you aren't using or 2) gimme a name you are using that'll fit? Or not, your choice. Don't want to sound too demanding, but yeah. Figure its about time to resuscitate the old thread anyway.

Hiya Bjorn mate!

Good to have you back. Have you seen v4 yet in the other thread here?

Well there are a few things I want to do with the Qlippoth (or Klippoth, depending on which way you want to spell it). I know in Green Ronins mythology they are the forebearers of the Tanar'ri or somesuch, but I have much more sinister plans for them.

I suppose you could use the term Ancient Baatorians (which is something from Planescape that they never really fleshed out at WotC). Obviously the word Baatorian is not OGL so I can't really use it.

Hello Krust, it's been awhile since I've posted, but my interest in the IH hasn't waned-Bjorn's idea grabbed my attention (cool idea).

I printed v4 out last night and it looks great, although I'm not much of a technical critic (not that I've reason to believe that it would have any flaws whatsoever).

I'm wondering if, as the release of the IH draws nearer, you could post your version of IG Thanos-redacting any special powers, abilities, names, etc. that would spoil the surprise of your pending work? If not, I'm guessing I could take a stab at reverse engineering based on your guidelines, but I'm afraid I might not capture the flavor that your efforts would.

Thanks in advance!

Hello Krust,

Hi historian mate!

I should have had it ready by now, things just seem to have a way of getting on top of you.

-Bjorn's idea grabbed my attention (cool idea).

I printed v4 out last night and it looks great,

Glad you like it.

although I'm not much of a technical critic (not that I've reason to believe that it would have any flaws whatsoever).

Well it works, but there are always seemingly tiny improvements that can be made.

Well what if I told you that Thanos is actually going to be in the IH...indirectly of course, since I don't think Marvel would take too kindly to such an afront on my part.

Hey, Krust, v4 would be the CR thingie correct? I haven't looked into it as of yet, because I'm not much inclined to the more mathematical aspects of the game....

Alright Ancient Baatorian may work for now. Thanks.

And to the historian, I get the feeling the idea isn't mine, but I don't remember where I stole it from. I'll get back to you on that. It could relate to the ancient Baatorians as mentioned above, but I have this suspicion I've heard it somewhere else too.

Edit- I seem to remember now, some website referencing a peace of literature in which, during Satan's fall, he meets Demogorgon (described by the website as having a name so evil it is blasphemous to even know it exists." How's that for a catch 22, eh?) Of course I can't find it again, so it is entirely possible I'm mqaking this up. Oh well.

Thats okay, mate. Although the back of the pdf does have some pages on Monster Creation and Design you might be interested in for detailing the Ancient Baatorians.

Thanks WotC.

Demogorgon (and Orcus I think) are indeed referenced in John Miltons Paradise Lost. You can read it here:

SWEET, Thanos, err .. whatever that character's name is, is going to be in the IH!

Hi historian mate!

Lets just say it will be Thanos in spirit.

By the way did you know theres a new Thanos comic run recently started? I have it on order but I haven't picked it up yet.
