I hadn't looked at her site recently, and I see she's decided to tackle Western Oerik. That's a brave decision given the fact there's so little canon info on that region, with much of it potentially contradictory!

Instant and irrecovable death for anything over one foot. Watching the group trying to navigate rough staircases is always a blast.

Well, at least the guards looking at you suspiciously makes sense at that point!

Sorry about the hiatus here, I ended up having a very busy week last week, and I am now on vacation until June 9th. However, I'll likely have some downtime while on vacation, so I'll try to get a post or two in during those times.

I'm doing a Let's Play thread on the old Gold Box CRPGs (on a short hiatus), and it's so funny to get the full 1e PHB list of polearms when shopping at the weapons store in the game. I mean, who would actually get those fauchard forks, Lucerne hammers, and glaive-guisarmes?

I definitely agree with that. It was far too early in the book for a new DM.

I know you were joking, but the Tiamat part might not be unreasonable, actually.

I mean, technically, Hepmonaland isn't part of the Flanaess....

Tiefling origins are completely obvious from a lore standpoint (plus, they can come from the Great Kingdom as well), but even when presented with this logical, lore-friendly explanation, some of the most hardline Greyhawk grognards simply refuse to accept it. Once, long ago, when a "tieflings in...

He wasn't a PC, just a full-on DMPC! "Hey, while you guys were exploring the dragon lair, some random person back in town just one-shot the dragon."

As a fan of an Ohio team that hates the Ravens (although not the team that has reason to really hate the Ravens), I can admit that such hatred exists. And I can also admit that it's totally irrational. It's just a game, after all. Which is true both for the NFL and D&D.

Yeah, that was really a dropped ball there, as it creates some really interesting possibilities. You could have three sets of lycanthropes, each tied to an individual moon (and thus would tend to be good, neutral, and evil). Or just go whole hog and have them turn at a time when each moon is...
