[QUOTE="David Howery, post: 5349746, member: 17239"] my article was originally a LOT longer, but Dale was forced to cut huge chunks of it to fit it into the magazine. Both the African and N. American articles actually started out as much shorter Greyhawk specific articles on Hepmonaland and the Rovers of the Barrens. The Hempmonaland one was actually accepted and being readied for publication when the magazine staff got word on just what the Greyhawk Wars boxed set would include (basically, both articles I'd written were just made obsolete). Roger suggested I redo both as generic articles on the two base cultures, so I did that (after a heck of a lot of research). I had gotten the okay to do a similar article on India, and had done a fair amount of research and writing, when 3E came along and I fell out of D&D gaming in general; I only had two more articles in Dragon after this one...
