[QUOTE="Mark Plemmons, post: 1593129, member: 1287"] Definitely not. One of our personal dislikes is giving gods statistics. They're simply so different, and so far above everyone else that they can't be classified, much less harmed. Some gamers like seeing the statistics for gods, but it's just one of our little quirks that we don't. So no god stats. :) Ah, the question... Lots of fans/non-fans of KoK have different opinions on this topic, some of them pretty harsh. So I'll try and keep my reply clear, concise and fair. The KoK campaign setting is definitely an official setting. That's the only way we get the D&D brand logo on the front cover. Of course, some official settings (like Forgotten Realms, for example) obviously want to heavily promote the Forgotten Realms brand, so they use the D&D logo in other/smaller locations on the book. But both are official. Being official also means we have some more freedoms, but also some more restrictions, than the SRD/OGL d20 publishers. For example, everything we publish with that logo is sent to WotC for several stages of approval. That's text AND art. As for WotC not acknowledging it... Well, they will mention major press releases that affect both companies in some way - such as when the setting was first released. Otherwise, I'd guess they prefer to focus their time and resources on their own products/settings, as most companies probably would. Um... well... I dunno. That might be technically right. I prefer "official," though. No, there is nothing yet, other than the basic cosmology from the DMG. If I recall correctly, we did have a freelancer working on a religion supplement, which probably would have included that. Unfortunately, something happened to him or her, so that got canned until we get someone else for it. Except for a handful or two of known locations, the inhabitants of Tellene don't have a lot of contact with other planes. I'd say demons/devils, elementals, shadow creatures and gith would be the most common. It's really left open for the DM, if you want to go really heavy or really light on this kind of thing. Of course, the "Sentinels of Providence" are a secret order designed to combat the intrustion of evil onto Tellene from other planes. So I'd say that there's definitely enough contact to be dangerous. :) [/QUOTE]
