[QUOTE="haakon1, post: 4817386, member: 25619"] That's definitely non-wahoo, traditional D&D. My campaign, BTW, is also non-wahoo traditionalist D&D. I play in my home version of Greyhawk, using 3.5e, with adventures from various sources including 3e WOTC, Paizo, and DCC's. I buy and read Harn books, though I don't use them verbatim. I've used LOTR modules from the 1980s converted to D&D. I read Ellis Peter's Cadfael stories and Osprey military history books for medievalist D&D inspiration. I used "Warfare in the Classical Age" as a reference. My favorite fantasy books are LOTR and Seamus Heaney's translation of Beowulf. My favorite D&Dish computer game is Medieval II Total War. In my last 4 campaigns, all but 2 PC's (a lizardman and centaur) were of the traditional Tolkienesque races, and all but 1 were PHB (3e) classes. The wahoo elements in my campaign are pretty rare. There's some modern real world US Marine Corps equipment (using Stargate d20 rules) brought in by the PC who was lost on a Stargate mission and ended up in Greyhawk, but has since returned home. There's the traditional Greyhawk wahoo like the Isle of the Apes and the crashed spacecraft of the Barrier Peaks (neither of which has been visited by a PC yet). That's about it for Wahoo. And of course, my avatar is from Lord of the Rings . . . [/QUOTE]
