In many realms, the word conjures up mysterious images of unfathomable power and supernatural works. Magic is a fearsome force beyond the ken of most mortals. Only a brave and talented few can master even a small amount of this unpredictable power. Not so in the dark realm of Glantri . In the mist-covered hills north of the hazardous Broken Lands, wielders of magic abound. The princes of Glantri, wizards all, command powers both mundane and magical. They orchestrate their courtly intrigues using potent spells and dangerous artifacts. Strange magical energies permeate the countryside , emanating from the crazy land itself.

  • Cnow: Eldritch Witchery
    Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 2nd Edition The Complete Netbook of Witches & Warlocks: Eldritch Witchery Supplement I 1 The Complete Netbook of Witches and Warlocks: Eldritch Witchery Forward Welcome to the first supplement to the Complete Netbook of Witches and Warlocks. This supplement will contain new ideas, revised old ones, and some extra things I thought you might enjoy. It took me close to 10 years to start and then finish my first netbook. Hopefully this one will not take as long. To begin with, none of the information in this volume is necessary or required to continue to play your witch characters. There is some additional information and errata, but most will be new information. Also there will be some information that is not necessarily witch related, but designed to add extra background to the worlds the witch is likely to play in. This supplement pays homage to the Original Dungeons and Dragons game supplement Eldritch Wizardry. That supplement introduced demons, psionics, artifacts and druids to the D&D game for the first time. It also was the first D&D product that came close to being banned. The controversial cover art, a nude blond woman bound up for a sacrifice, made this a rare item to find. Eldritch Witchery, which conversely has no cover art, will not be as rare or as collectable, but hopefully it will provide you with as much fun as the first provided me. Copies of this supplement, the original Complete Netbook of Witches and Warlocks, as well as any future supplements can be found at my website at http://www.rpghost.com/WebWarlock or http://go.to/WebWarlock.
