  • Campaign Information
    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.

  • 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.

  • Of Dice and Men the Role of Dice in Board and Table Games
    Homo Ludens 1/(2) (2010) Homo Ludens Of Dice and Men The role of dice in board and table games Jens Jahnke, Britta Stöckmann Kiel, Germany Uniwersytet im. Adama Mickiewicza w Poznaniu When it comes to games, dice belong to the oldest playthings or gambling instruments men have used to pass their time and/or make some money, and it is striking that still today it is hard to imagine the realm of board and table games1 without them. Dominions fell, Caesars were overthrown, however, the die is still rolling – but is it also still ruling? Trying to answer this question, we approach the topic from two angles, analysing !rst the historical and then the current situation. In the !rst part the authors would like to give a quick retrospection into the history of the die to highlight a few outstanding facts about dice and gambling in their sociocultural context. "e second part then will discuss the cur- rent situation on the German board game market from a more technical and functional point of view: how dice are being integrated into board and table games, and how the out- come is being received. To narrow down the !eld we will concentrate on this speci!c range and leave out dice in casino games as well as in RPGs. "e focus on German board games is due to the fact that they constitute one of the biggest board game markets worldwide and therefore provides a lot of material for the analysis, which at the same time does not exclude games from other countries.
