The characters will be isolated in this alien environment where they cannot even begin to predict what dangers lurk around them. The Dungeon Master should carefully play up the unique atmosphere and strange creatures that the heroes will encounter in this Mlst-filled chasm. The touchstone of this adventure is eeriness. The Shadow Rift is not some blood-splattered charnel house nor a typical "dungeon." Instead, it is a land apart, strange rather than malevolent. Parts of it are exceptionally dangerous, and certainly many of its inhabitants have no love for mortals. Trespassers should proceed with caution, yet the heroes should continually have the sense that they are peripheral to events and that the inhabitants are largely wrapped up in their own unfathomable affairs to which they will return as soon as the Intruders have departed.

  • 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.

B. Tongue Cover by Enrico Penagila Interestingly enough, this is the third editorial I have had occasion to write for this issue. Getting this one out has been a long, hard slog – not because of shortage of material, but because of other problems. As far as I am concerned, these are now over, and I intend to make OD&DITIES my primary focus once again. In short, all will now be as it was, I hope. A little house news, first – OD&DITIES Twelve is scheduled for April, with a March release possible if I get material in. As well as the normal range of material that is found in OD&DITIES, there will be two themes in the next issue. The first will be, ‘Classes and Races’ – an assortment of new classes and races for OD&D. I had quite a bit of material of this type in, enough that I’ve decided to make a special based on this. The second will be ‘Your Keep’. This will be a collection of variations on the ‘Keep on the Borderlands’ that have been created over the years by various people – let’s get these in.

  • 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.
