Old School 3ed Question, there will be cookies

[Dr. Strangemonkey]

Way back in the dawn of time, what was it three? four? years ago now, what was the first third party setting book to come out for 3ed?

I seem to remember a superhero setting that came out even before the whole set of corebooks had, but the setting I'm looking for was softbound, had a shiny black and purple scheme to the cover, and, as I recall, was named something like Medvah.

Does anyone know what I'm talking about here? I found a character with greenskin I built off of a race from that book and I can't for the life of me remember anything about it. And my google-fu must be failing me by virtue of misspelling, cause I cannot find a reference.

Help me out here people. On the one hand I'm glad 3ed has made it so far that I've forgotten things about on the other it's driving me crazy to have such an important peice of information missing for a character I'm rather fond of.

The first person to get the setting and give me some detail on the greenskinned race in question will win a metaphysical cookie. My GF was a theology major and she can whip those things up in a jiffy given a functioning kitchen and a marked up copy of the Summa Theologica.

Hmmmm..... not ringing a bell.

Early campaign settings for 3E included Diomin, Scarred Lands, The Hunt: Rise of Evil, Umbragia, Arcanis, Erde.

The superhero thing may be The Foundation.

Diomin! That's the one.

That's one metaphysical cookie.

Now who will claim the others by going into races and tracking down what exactly I could have pulled the name Medvah from in that setting?

As I recall that setting had a fairly interesting idea for a summoner-type. Very very nice basic concept as I recall, though I also recall that had a few deal breaking poorly put together details.

Ah, those heady days of wine and song, when you never knew what a spell casting class would actually be capable of.

Hmm, the Diomin site appears to be non-existant.

Based on the thoughts of people's reviews if this is the one you are talking about, I imagine someone might give it to you

A lot of place names in the south end in "ah" or "eh" - and that's where the Zeredites are from (a race with "olivine" skin tones). Maybe you just contracted "Medv" and the "ah" to make up a 'typical' Zeredite name.

Brilliant!

To you sir I award the best metaphysical cookie you can think of. It's a recipe I picked up from St. Anselm.

Uhh, yeah, you can have my copy. I stopped reading it in the middle of page one the day I bought it and it's eaten bookshelf space ever since. Yeeeeech.
