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. Acknowledgements As always, nothing happens in a vacuum. This netbook supplement is brought to you not only because of my work, but because of you the AD&D player. Many of the subjects in this netbook began as suggestions that I received via email. This time I am pleased to say thanks (again) to Debby Ruh and Rune R. Christensen, who helped me so much on the last netbook. I would also like to thank Blake McDonald, Blue Troll, Fidjlin, and Ole A. Ringdal for distributing copies of my netbooks to their website visitors. They have opened my work up to a much larger audience than I could have alone. And also to following for their contributions and/or suggestions: Rafael Arrais, Cole Austin, Dominique Crouzet, Evil, Larry Geyer, Gary Gygax, Tommie Leijs, Master of Runes, Michael Moolick, Gianluca Meluzzi, NightScreed, Gary Ray, Brian Rodriguez, Debby Ruh, Brad Thompson, Phillip Wallace and Kevin Webb. I Hope I did not forget anyone! Thanks!

    Arak and Gwydion (Some Thoughts on the Shadow Elves' History) By R. Sweeney Gwydion isn't a 'real' demon, but rather a creature of great power from the plane of shadow. Gwydion's evil was his enslavement of the ShadowElves. His torment is his betrayal by Arak. Unlike Vecna, he was not on the prime and could only be 'trapped' because he was trying to follow the Shadow Elves into RL. (Presumably to kill them or re-enslave them). I wonder what Arak was thinking, however. Would there be anyplace he could take the Shadow elves into exile where Gwydion could not follow? Did he think he could hide from such a powerful creature? Gwydion must have had an enemy. A sibling perhaps. The Shadow Elves must have acted as some sort of armed forces for him. Arak must have believed that if Gwydion suddenly found himself without his Slaves, he would have been destroyed by his rivals. However, there other.. less satisfying, perhaps, ways of re-writing ShadowElf history. Gwydion, the shadow-being, falls 'in love' with an elf from some other world. They mate, bear children. Woman dies, Gwydion takes his children and their children as slaves. Millenia pass. Arak was Gwydion's favorite. Perhaps, Gwydion had mated with one of the Shadow elves of unsurpassed beauty and begat Arak. Thus, he set his son above all the other slaves. Arak, however, desired more than to be the head of the slaves. He managed to betray his father to his enemies. Arak had intended patricide. He was going to take away Gwydion's protective armed forces, leaving him vulnerable to attack by his other enemies.

  • The Fascination of Evil: Mental Malpractice in Shakespearean Tragedy
    THE FASCINATION OF EVIL: MENTAL MALPRACTICE IN SHAKESPEAREAN TRAGEDY by JEFFREY CALLAWAY STEELE A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY The Shakespeare Institute Department of English School of Humanities The University of Birmingham September 2006 Resub: October 2008 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. ABSTRACT The first part of this thesis offers a study of the phenomenon of fascination as it was understood in early modern England—specifically in its relation to magic, demonology and witchcraft. It examines fascination’s place within cultural traditions, and its operation within perception theory and the psychophysiology of the early modern medical understanding. It also examines some ways in which fascination operates within a theatrical context, and encounters the discourse of early modern “anti-theatricalists.” The second part of the thesis is an analysis of the Shakespearean tragic hero’s encounter with elements of fascinating bewitchment, and the problems of discerning reality through the mesmeric pull of misperception. The specific subjects of the dramatic analysis are Othello and Macbeth. For Chrissy, … without whose continued faith, support, and encouragement, as well as some timely and persistent prodding, I should never have finished this.

  • Bestiary of the Realms: Volume 2
    Bestiary of the Realms: Volume 2 by Thomas M. Costa and Eric L. Boyd Art by Noëlle Triaureau Editorial assistance from Joe “Warlockco” Weber A NOTE FROM THE AUTHORS Welcome to volume two of the Bestiary of the Realms. As this is our second volume, you’ll find several score new or converted monsters, as well as a few different interpretations of monsters that have already been converted. A word of caution, just as many official 3E and 3.5E monsters did not slavishly follow earlier write-ups of those monsters, neither do the monsters herein. Instead, we did our best to consider all sources, hopefully make full and creative use of the 3.5E rules (including non-core WotC books), and in many cases add a little bit here and there to many of the monsters, even if it was in only adding or updating their Realms lore. A few have even been renamed. One last note, we’ve done our best to include source references for all things where appropriate, except those found in the three core rulebooks or Expanded Psionics Handbook. Until then, Sword High! – Thomas M. Costa and Eric L. Boyd ABOUT THE AUTHORS Thomas M. Costa is a senior analyst with the Government Accountability Office. He has been a contributor to several Wizards of the Coast products including Demihuman Deities and Races of Faerûn, and is the author of several Dragon Magazine and Wizards of the Coast website articles. He can be reached at [email protected]. Eric L. Boyd is a software designer and freelance game designer.

  • The Lost Kenku
    THE LOST KENKU Illustrated and Written By Shawn Wood Note from the Author o say this is a loosely constructed adventure may be an exaggeration of some degree. However, some patron saint of children requested a pdf of my adventure notes. So, here we are. I’ve use one version or another of this adventure to introduce people to the D&D experi- ence as it has all the elements of a good game with very little ramp up time needed. The adventure structure is created in such a way to allow for as much or as little combat is desired. Encounters can be changed to suit a lvl1 cam- paign, and with a little imagination I imagine one could have fun altering it for a party in the high teens. Some nice paintings of Ancient Dragons and Neoliths may be in order. Have fun with it. Change, add, or remove monsters, items, and characters as you see fit. A special thanks to the wonderful donors of the Extra Life Charity and the Dungeons and Dragons Team. Together we can manage to do a little bit of good in this mind-flayer-run world. 2 | THE LOST KENKU | A 2017 EXTRA LIFE ADVENTURE Wizard of Weirding Mind Flayer Alhoon The Wizard Weirding is a mind flayer alhoon in dis- guise. It uses disguise self to appear as a male human wizard named Weirding. Long ago, it left the hive in search of power and immortality through magic. To blend in with the general population of Faerun, the alhoon mar- ried a human woman and adopted her child as his own.

  • An "Official" Spelljammer Guide to the Spheres [Revised 1.0]
    Guide to the Spheres An "official" Spelljammer Guide to the Spheres [revised 1.0] By Paul Westermeyer aka GMWestermeyer Table of Contents: Page Section 1 Introduction 2 Phlogiston Navigation 4 Phlogiston Transit Times 4 Where is the Rock of Bral? 6 “Official” Flow Map 7 The Spheres and other Phlogiston Locations 23 ‘Loose’ Planets/Worlds 34 Bibliography: Introduction Spelljammer is a very unique and creative setting, but it is also one of the worst organized settings TSR produced with material is scattered among many different products. This makes it very difficult to find what you are looking for, a problem exasperated by Spelljammer’s status as a ‘connection’ campaign, designed (like Planescape) to connect the ‘big’ three settings, Forgotten Realms, Greyhawk, and Dragonlance. I’ve been working to alleviate this problem by writing guides and indices for those aspects of Spelljammer that are most important for creating a coherent, rational game setting. The first of these guides was An “Official” Spelljammer Timeline, which collated Spelljammer-related historical mentions in published TSR products into a cohesive, coherent timeline that Spelljammer (or Hackjammer) gamemasters could use as the foundation of their own, personalized campaigns. This guide, An “Official” Spelljammer Guide to the Spheres, has a similar purpose. Spelljammer’s iconic center is the Rock of Bral, just as Sigil is the iconic heart of Planescape, Spelljammer’s setting cousin, but Sigil’s location is quite firmly placed at the center of the Plane of Concordant Opposition, metaphorically the heart of the entire Advanced Dungeons and Dragons multiverse. Moreover, the various inner and outer planes are all well mapped in relation to each other, and have been ever since the Advanced Dungeons and Dragons Player’s Handbook in 1978.

Firstly I would like to thank the School of Divinity for the scholarship and the opportunity they provided me in being able to do this PhD. I would like to thank my ‘numerous’ supervisors who have given of their time, energy and knowledge in making this thesis possible: To Professor Hans Barstad for his patience, advice and guiding hand, in particular for his ‘adopting’ me as his own. For his understanding and help with German I am most grateful. To Dr Peter Hayman for giving of his own time to help me in learning Hebrew, then accepting me to study for a PhD, and in particular for his attention to detail. To Professor Nick Wyatt who supervised my Masters and PhD before his retirement for his advice and support. I would also like to thank the staff at New College Library for their assistance at all times, and Dr Jessie Paterson and Bronwen Currie for computer support.
