Honestly, I thought that you'd made the change intentionally, for the sake of the story.<BR/><BR/>But I suspect that even unintentional changes due to the passage of time can't be any worse than the weirdness that they came up with when they statted out the kids in 3/3.5 rules for the DVD set.

I found the publishing history and story chronology to be too much (not as bad as Forgotten Realms). It was one reason why I switched to Eberron.<BR/><BR/>Eberron, to me, was a fresh start, a simpler campaign history, lacking in arguments over canon, and built for the current edition of the rules rather than inundated with setting elements based on old rules.<BR/><BR/>In any case, I agree that Greyhawk defines what traditional D&D should feel like.Amarilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08145274036942415094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14114860.post-36362230678003228752009-02-26T11:25:00.000-08:002009-02-26T11:25:00.000-08:00Thanks guys.I saw a post on an action figure board...Thanks guys.<BR/><BR/>I saw a post on an action figure board where someone had done a set of these characters using Marvel legend figures. Then I got the urge to do an older version of the characters in 1/6 scale (which will be in a future post). And then this came to me last night. And I couldn't sleep until I got it down.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the tip on Bobby and Sheila, Aaron. I missed that. It's been quite a few years.<BR/><BR/>Amaril, To me D&D is Greyhawk. Almost all may campaigns were set there. This story will be set after the "Greyhawk wars" But be gentle on me if I get stuff wrong from time to time, I'm not one of those "Greyhawk Scholars" whose job seems to be to correct everybody. I'm just a guy who likes to play D&D.<BR/><BR/>More next Thursday.evildmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11365812717229067172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14114860.post-29952687029862897432009-02-26T10:53:00.000-08:002009-02-26T10:53:00.000-08:00Dungeons and Dragons Noir, huh?

It will be entertaining to see where this goes.<BR/><BR/>Dropping the sibling relationship between Bobby and Sheila is an interesting change. I'm curious to see what other alterations are made.Aaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03128359303310478673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14114860.post-48343075021053532922009-02-26T09:53:00.000-08:002009-02-26T09:53:00.000-08:00Nice tie-in with Greyhawk.

I'm curious about which time period in Greyhawk's history this all occurs? Is the Flanaess on the verge of the Greyhawk Wars? Is it post-war Flanaess, and by how many years? Are the raids from the Pomarj creeping closer to the City of Greyhawk?<BR/><BR/>I look forward to reading more.<BR/><BR/>On a side note, I was actually tempted to use Greyhawk for my Savage Worlds campaign (I'm a recent SW convert), but I chose to adopt Eberron instead. I find Eberron captures the high-action pulp tropes a bit better than Greyhawk. Greyhawk is still good for grittier high fantasy.Amarilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08145274036942415094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14114860.post-15661428952631923022009-02-26T08:26:00.000-08:002009-02-26T08:26:00.000-08:00No Uni????
