What about the Wallara before they became stone age? -Amaldis Subj: Just in case Date: 9/12/96 9:13:47 PM From: AMALDIS Posted on: America Online Just in case anyone reading this isn't a Savage Coast/Red Steel fan.... The Savage Coast is a line that is FREE!!!! Go into Download of the Month and look towards the top. Look for Odyssey:Savage Coast. The Savage Coast is a rough land on the edge of civilization. It is home to the Red Curse, a curse that deforms your body, but at the same time gives you magical powers. There are ways to avoid the curse's debilitating effects, but they are often expensive, or they require that you not use the powers the curse gives you. Because of this there are huge numbers of people seeking their fortune, and hoping to be able to afford some protection from the curse. The Savage Coast is 'officially' placed in the world of Mystara, but a player can place it anywhere that they choose. Further products will be coming out online for the Savage Coast later this year. Look forward to a Monstrous Compendium, and an acessory for the Orc's Head penninsula, where monster's are the only ones with power. -Amaldis Subj: Fitting it in Date: 9/12/96 9:30:30 PM From: AMALDIS Posted on: America Online For those of you who wish to put the Savage Coast into a published campaign setting you run, here are some suggestions. Page 1 of 178 SAVAGE COAST/RED STEEL MESSAGE BOARD (AOL) Folder 2 - 12th Sept 1996 to 10th Jan 1997 Forgotten Realms:The Savage Coast could be used in place of the Border Kingdoms that surround the Lake of Steam. Another possibility is a future area of Maztica. Greyhawk:Southern Hepmonaland could be a possible Savage Coast area. Perhaps some area across the sea from the ruins of Aerdy. Birthright:You are alone on this one. I can't think of anywhere even remotely resembling the Savage Coast here. Maybe a new land you create off in the distance. The powers of bloodlines could easily be used to explain the curse. Dark Sun:Besides the lack of gnomes in both settings, there is nothing to tie these two together. Planescape:Anywhere you want. Perhaps even an entire planet based on the Saveg Coast. The planars would probably be interested in using the powers available with the curse, especially the fiends. Spelljammer:Anywhere you want. Krynn:An unexplored continent across the sea might do the trick. Ravenloft:A domain based on the Savage Cost, this has definite possibilities. An area based upon Herath would definitely fit. Fitting the Curse in shouldn't be much of a challenge considering Ravenloft's nature. Also, the Savage Coast has lots of freaks, and the effects of the curse(both disfiguring and empowering) can easily be used as the powers and penalties for the Stages of Darkness. Lankmar:A far southern area, maybe. The Savage Coast is highly magical, and these two don't fit very well. -Amaldis Subj: Re; Maps Date: 9/12/96 11:36:54 PM From: TSR Bruce Posted on: America Online >>Am I the only one who wishes the Red Steel maps were done in Gazetteer style? Being a wargamer, hex maps just feel right to me; and they work great for the rest of Mystara>> You're preaching to a convert! The decision to switch to the map current map style was made by people who clearly did not have a much of background working on Mystara. Pity, isn't? :) Bruce Heard Subj: Re: maps Date: 9/12/96 11:42:17 PM From: TSR Bruce Posted on: America Online Page 2 of 178 SAVAGE COAST/RED STEEL MESSAGE BOARD (AOL) Folder 2 - 12th Sept 1996 to 10th Jan 1997 <<Somebody at TSR (Bruce?) should know where there are Gazetteer style maps of much of the Savage Coast -- I recall seeing quite a few of them in _Dragon_ magazine during the Princess Ark series, and they were of superb quality. So these maps do exist -- all that would need to be done would be for somebody at TSR to scan them in, or perhaps to give somebody else permission to do so.>> many of these maps were created with professional computer software. As I recall working with the cartographer back then, these maps required lots of memory (nothing that could realisticly be used as is on line). I doubt you could convert them, that is of course if we knew where these file were. Some of the earlier maps were completed manually, using a process different from the one in the Gazetteers (which explains for the fewer colors and the varying quality). Either way, they might be scannable and rendered in a more common format, but that's really up to Sean. (Yo, Sean?) Bruce Heard Subj: HW Hall of Fame Date: 9/12/96 11:44:39 PM From: TSR Bruce Posted on: America Online <<since during the creation of the HOLLOW WORLD boxed set, the savage coast wasn`t considered, which old RS-cultures do you think would deserve a bit of land on one of the two undeveloped continents?>> I would definitely include the proto-chameleon men, in particular their pre-Spell of Oblivion civilization. (Remember the Australian aborigine setting in Princess Ark?) Bruce Heard Subj: Re:* New Folder Date: 9/12/96 11:46:02 PM From: TSR Bruce Posted on: America Online <<Please resume the Savage Coast & Red Steel discussion here.>> Yeah, no kidding, Tank! You made us wait until 499! Gee-whiz! :) Bruce Heard Subj: Re:HW/Savage Date: 9/12/96 11:47:20 PM From: TSR Bruce Posted on: America Online Page 3 of 178 SAVAGE COAST/RED STEEL MESSAGE BOARD (AOL) Folder 2 - 12th Sept 1996 to 10th Jan 1997 <<Old cultures? What about the Wallara before they became stone age?>> Oops, you got them before me! My thought exactly, nevertheless!. :) Bruce Heard Subj: Re:Fitting it in Date: 9/12/96 11:50:02 PM From: TSR Bruce Posted on: America Online You are a bold man (man?), Amaldis! But you weren't bold enough to throw in DragonLance! Probably for a good reason. ... Just teasing you! :) Bruce Heard Subj: It is up!!!!!!!!!!! Date: 9/13/96 2:36:16 AM From: AMALDIS Posted on: America Online Yes, the long in coming Net Book for Mystara and the Savage Coast is finally available. The Net Book is in Campaigns&Modules. Go get it. :) -Amaldis Subj: Re:Fitting it in Date: 9/13/96 2:37:33 AM From: AMALDIS Posted on: America Online Actually, I did put in Krynn. As for my gender, well I would prefer that to be a mystery. -Amaldis Subj: Re:It is up!!!!!!!!!!!

Please respond with comments, questions, etc... -Amaldis Page 4 of 178 SAVAGE COAST/RED STEEL MESSAGE BOARD (AOL) Folder 2 - 12th Sept 1996 to 10th Jan 1997 Subj: Re:Fitting it in Date: 9/13/96 3:35:11 AM From: Nellisir Posted on: America Online <<Greyhawk:Southern Hepmonaland could be a possible Savage Coast area. Perhaps some area across the sea from the ruins of Aerdy.>> Or south-west of the Sea of Dust. The Red Curse could be the after-effects of the Rain of Colorless Fire on the Suel people of the region.

  • 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.

Hey, folks, I have a special treat for you guys. AD&D Dragonlance game designers Colin McComb and Tim Beach have agreed to join us for a Q&A session! Colin was a designer for the Tales of the Lance boxed set, as well as Knight's Sword, Taladas: the Minotaurs, and Unsung Heroes. You can see his various RPG credits here . Tim was designer for Flint's Axe, has additional design credits for Taladas: the Minotaurs, and was a designer for Unsung Heroes. You can see Tim's various RPG credits here . 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.
