    Wilderness Survival Guide was a bit weak!

    D&D (2024) Greyhawk Confirmed. Tell Me Why.

    My experience with Greyhawk Adventures is completely different from this. It has monster, spell, and magic-item lists that are fairly standard fare in D&D books (though some of the magic item entries also have GH world lore in them). More importantly as a campaign supplement, though, it has NPC...

    I mean, it obviously is what WotC cares about. What else would you expect them to do?

    How is Greyhawk Adventures apocryphal? After the Gazetteer and the boxed set, it's the next thing TSR gave us on Greyhawk! (As best I recall, at least.)

    D&D (2024) Greyhawk Confirmed. Tell Me Why.

    Well, Greyhawk Adventures has The Pinnacles of Azor'alq. We are told (p 89) that "the Pinnacles are not more than 50 leagues from the mainland, somewhere in the angle of the Dramidj between Ekbir and Zeif" and also that "Whatever else dwells among the pinnacles, it is certain that dragons of all...

    D&D General The Problem With Paladin's Medieval Origins (+)

    I gave an example of player narration of events affecting their 4e D&D paladin PC. And got a reply saying that I and my player were lying, deluded and that it is farcical to suppose that a player could, within the constraints generated by the game rules, narrate an event such as a divine...

    D&D General The Problem With Paladin's Medieval Origins (+)

    I'm not sure if that is a yes or a no. I ask because, in Brindlewood Bay, the answer to the mystery is constructed by the players based on the clues they collect. In my Cthulhu Dark play, the mystery and its answers were made up by me (as GM) as we went along, in response to the actions the...

    Yet another reason not to link them to Wastri, who only ever performs large leaps!

    Tabaxi already have a place in GH (at least according to The Scarlet Brotherhood supplement from the late 90s). They live in Hepmonaland.

    Speing just for myself, I think that a big part of (not all of) GH is its REH-esque ancient/fallen empires motif, and so I actually think having Dragonborn be scions of a fallen empire would fit.

    Should that be 5E?

    Are you familiar with Brindlewood Bay and similar RPGs? And here are two links to my own actual play of Cthulhu Dark.

    Let's strike a deal then - you can parachute them in, provided that they are not connected to Wastri!

    You get a sad face, because I don't think it's very nice to Dragonborn to connect them like this to the Hopping Prophet and Foe of All Demi-humans. A bit beneath their dignity. (Which you seem to implicitly concede in your post 1803). Well I like my 4e lore.

    [Actual Play] Stonetop, or how to make friends and influence people

    I've got HeroWars (main book, Narrator's Book, and two Glorantha books/supplements), and the HeroQuest revised core book, but only a slim volume (maybe like a player's intro?) for the intermediate HeroQuest. HQ revised changes the system for complex/extended conflicts. I think the first HQ...
