Hey Gamers! It's an October Surprise! America's Not 11/2/2020 October Surprise – Hey Trump, Our October Surprise Is Better Than Yours. (https://www.october- O(Hutrt Sptsa:/t/Wemwewn.OtctobJeori-Snu Trhper Tiesaem.Com/) surprise.com) HEY GAMERS! IT'S AN OCTOBER SURPRISE! In the last couple weeks, the Trump team has tossed out the traditional cockamamie surprises in October, hoping to swing the vote toward them. Hunter Biden’s stolen laptop, Iranian Proud Boy conspiracies, miracle drugs that miraculously don’t exist—all a fever dream from the Fox News Cinematic Universe. It’s all an attempt to distract from their complete lack of tness to govern. Hundreds of thousands dead from COVID-19. White supremacy on the rise. An economy in shambles. A climate on the brink of ruin. A president threatening the peaceful transfer of power. All their fault. We, the members of the game industry, have an October surprise of our own: AMERICA'S NOT PLAYING THAT GAME. As creators of many of the most popular games in the world, we know a bad gambit when we see it. Whatever their moves are, it’s just mediocre strategy. It’s embarrassing, really. And it’s not going to win. Gamers—and there’s a whole lot of us—don’t believe anything that comes from the Trump campaign. We believe in following the science, in cooperating with others, in helping our fellow humans get through this challenging time. So, we’re supporting Joe Biden and Kamala Harris (https://secure.actblue.com/donate/bidenharris2020) and those who aim to serve with them. That’s the only play that leads to victory. Surprise!

Date: 8/25/95 4:14:00 PM From: Anodaewyn1 Posted on: America Online Now, maybe I'm missing something... but, the only book that I have for the Mystara setting is the Dragonlord series. Just the two. Are there others? ~~J Subj: Re:Mystara books?

In general this Page 1 of 170 MYSTARA MESSAGE BOARD (AOL) Folder 2 - 25th Aug 1995 to 12th March 1996 affects the use of firearms vs. armor, and secret fencing passes favoring skilled swordsmen with rapiers and main gauche.

  • Planescape Part One: Sigil by Cutter
    Planescape Part One: Sigil By Cutter Welcome to Sigil, the City of Doors! The centre of the Planes and the local multiverse too. Sitting on the inside of a giant torus that itself floats above an infinitely tall mountain at the centre of the very plane of neutrality itself – the Concordant Domains of the Outlands. Here neutrality is enforced. Gods are barred from the city, and the Lady of Pain takes very aggressive steps to make sure nobody drags Sigil into the troubles outside. It is even a haven from the Blood War. Unfortunately, this means many, many criminals and troublemakers from outside land come here as a last resort. ‘Course, not everyone’s here of their own free choice. Sigil’s ridded in doors to other planes, and sometimes a local from outside falls in. What got them in Sigil rarely is what gets them out of Sigil, and they’re stuck here until they find a door back home. These planar doors all throughout Sigil would make it the most valuable place in the multiverse to hold. Master Sigil, you can master the Planes. But the Lady won’t let that happen. Piss her off and the best thing you can hope for is being locked in an extradimensional maze unable to die of age, hunger, or thirst. The unlucky ones get flayed alive in an instant. But on the bright side, you’ll see all kinds of things in Sigil. A devil and a demon (don’t call ‘em that, trust me) having friendly drinks in a bar.

  • 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.

Gentlemen, welcome to DragonlanceForums.com! I'm going to start out with a few questions, and everyone else should feel free to ask their questions as well. Colin and Tim will be able to answer as time permits. I ask that everyone please be respectful of our guests and their time. 1. First of all, how did you two get involved in Dragonlance? 2. Colin, tell us about the Tales of the Lance boxed set. What brought it about? Was it challenging writing a new sourcebook for Dragonlance? 3. What were the design goals of Tales of the Lance? 4. Colin, tell us about writing Knight's Sword. 5. Tim, tell us about writing Flint's Axe. How closely did it tie into Flint, the King? Did you and Colin coordinate on this project? 6.
