In particular, Spiral’s own least, has not been centered in one sphere. In the Rock of Bral, Protection Force (SPF) is it’s primary form of protection. it suggests to place it in an asteroid fi eld, one of it’s specifi c The Scro High Command has gotten wind of this plan of suggestions is in the grinder of Greyspace. So, since then, there is reorganization and planed it’s invasion of Spiral accordingly. So, where it resided. However, I’ve been impressed with what people at the time of this module the Scro Tarantula fl eet has secretly have been writing about Brallspace, aka Spiralspace. So, part of conquered Sprial and assumed control of the Crown of Correllion. this adventure deals with transporting the Rock to Spiralspace. As stated later on, the Scro have sent ships out to patrol for vessels In the beginning of the UWII, the elves were caught well either going to or from (escaping) Spiral, in a further attempt to off guard. If they were expecting confl ict at all, they surely were keep their conquest a secret. not expecting the well-organized tactics of the Scro. So, when This adventure is designed for 4-8 characters of 3rd-5th levels hostilities started, it was in the periphery spheres. This caused the of experience. elves to reorganize their forces and send more troops to the ‘front lines’. One of the concessions that the IEN had to make was to move the bulk of their forces out of one sphere. But which one… Enter Prince Andru. Having heard of the elves dilemma, by TThankshanks way of spies and such, offers a bold plan for “mutual security and gain.” He offers that the Rock of Bral would take over defense and Thanks to Static for putting this on his site and to all the great ideas law enforcement of the elven sphere of Spiral. In this proposal, that I borrowed from on the Spelljammer mailing list, there’s too Spiral and any other elf controlled world would remain theirs. many to mention. So thanks. Also, The IEN would have unlimited access to the space lanes and immunity to taxation and such. The elves didn’t like letting the humans do the jobs of elves, but the IEN didn’t exactly get along with Spiral anyway. And, this deal would solve much of their force placement problem. So reluctantly, the IEN agreed to Prince Andru’s bargain. So, Andru’s Fireball Alliance and some powerful IEN mages devised a plan to transport the Rock to Spiral via some powerful magic. The details of which are of the most closely guarded secrets. The Rock of Bral will reside within the God’s marbles, a sizable asteroid fi eld within Spiralspace. Although most of the God’s Marbles are mapped, only a small percentage of the asteroid fi eld has been surveyed for fl ora, fauna, and breathable atmosphere. So, a scouting mission has to be deployed to determine where these important elements of life are supported. Bral’s own navy would usually carry out this important assignment, but the entire fl eet is thinly spread out between both spheres, providing security. Consequently, the scouting mission must be given to some private ship that can be trusted. So, knowledge of this assignment is limited to those close to the noble houses of Bral. (Option 1 for getting the party to Spiralspace.) But, with the chaos of this transition, the space lanes are a haven for piracy. In particular, three pirate groups are currently active. As above, the Brallian Navy is busy providing security in both spheres, so they cannot go pirate hunting at this time. As a result, inquiring private ship captains can obtain Letters of Marque easily from the Rock’s crown to legally hunt pirates. (Option 2 for getting the party to Spiralspace.) Also, as Bral’s forces arrive in Spiralspace, the IEN presence diminishes. The inhabited worlds of Spiralspace are left to fend 1 Beyond the Moons http://spelljammer.org/ CHHAPTERAPTER 11:: ROOCKCK OOFF BRRALAL ((TTHHEE GAATHERINGTHERING) • Lady Diana’s assistant will tell the new captain PC about 11a:a: CCaptainaptain ooff tthehe both the pirate hunting and scouting missions below.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    Dungeons&Dragons Collectors Checklist by Richard © 2001, version 2.7 Well met and welcome to the Collectors Checklist! I made this checklist for myself to keep track of what TSR products I own. Many times was I in the position to photocopy (“Xerox”) a module or booklet that the owner didn’t wish to sell. So gradually my collection expanded with not only genuine products but also with photocopies. Since the coming of the officially digitized classic products (PDF) it is even harder to keep track of what product you own in what format. With the Collectors Checklist you will be able to sort your whole Dungeons&Dragons collection, no matter what the format is! For those out there who haven’t got a clue, here’s how to use the Collectors Checklist: TSR-Code : The product’s publishing code Sub-Code : When a product belongs to a specific group of products it carries this code Title : The product’s title (dah!) Hardcopy : Check this if you have the original item Copy : Check this if you have a copy (Xeroxcopy for instance) of the original product PDF : Check this if you have a digital copy(.pdf/.doc/etc.) of the original product HINT: you can even write down the number when you own more than one copy of a product ; ) If you think any items are missing, please mail me at [email protected] .
