During a period called the Reckoning, Asmodeus himself ousted him. This turn of events seems strange to those who know the facts, since the Reckoning came about when the lords of Hell all turned on their master, Asmodeus—all but Geryon, that is. The only loyal lord was deposed, while most of the mutinous lords went unpunished. Some speculate that this move repre- sented some sort of strange reward from Asmodeus— Geryon certainly did not see it that way—and others assume the former archdevil’s loss of rank is only tem- porary. If Geryon has his way, the latter estimation will prove correct. Although some call him the Serpentine Lord, Geryon’s enemies also name him Lord of the Filth. This label obviously plays off his former “Lord of the Fifth” title, much like Baalzebub’s “Lord of the Flies/Lord of the Lies” moniker. However, such a reference is ironic in Geryon’s case, for the archdevil despises uncleanli- ness and dirt, demanding that servants keep himself and his surroundings immaculate. This need seems at odds with the devil’s otherwise bestial appearance and nature; some think him a little mad. The archdevil dwells in a secret iceberg fortress called Citadel Coldsteel that floats in a frigid sea. Its dangers combined with its sterile appearance encour- age the few who have seen it to compare the place to a surgeon’s scalpel. In appearance Geryon resembles Mammon’s current form: that of a huge serpent with a muscular humanoid torso sporting two large arms and a massive humanoid head.

  • Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil ERRATA and FAQ
    Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil ERRATA AND FAQ A collaborative product of the members of Monte Cook's Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil web forum. Compiled, edited, and formatted by Siobharek. PDF version edited by ZansForCans. Modified: 11 February 2003 The definitive source for this errata and FAQ can be found in the ‘sticky’ threads at the top of the topic list on Monte Cook's Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil web forum. None of these errata or FAQ are official in any way (i.e. Monte or WotC have not said "That's right."), but most have been agreed to be accurate and true to the core rulebooks by many DMs running this adventure. NPC stats corrections are grouped in the appropriate chapter that the NPC appears in. In some cases, there is no ‘fix’ suggested—the errata is simply provided to alert you to a discrepancy. You didn’t think we’d do all the work for you, did you? It may seem like there are quite a lot of errata for this product. There are! Part of the explanation we have heard is that Monte was working on the adventure while D&D 3e was still being finalized. The rest we simply blame on his editors. ;) We welcome further corrections and additions to this list. However, when and if you find something that doesn't seem right, please check in every available rulebook. For instance, adding the right number of feats and stat increases to monsters with classes can be fiendishly hard but check it and double check it as much as you can.

  • 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.

  • The Master of Ravenloft Is Having Guests for Dinner . . . and You Are Invited
    The master of Ravenloft is having guests for dinner . and you are invited. A dark shape emerges from the shadow of Castle Ravenloft. A fl ash of lightning reveals the sneering countenance of Count Strahd von Zarovich. His eyes burn with eternal hunger and contempt for life. From a narrow balcony, he peers out into the drizzling twilight at the few sad lights of the village below and mutters a single name: “Ireena . .” The Expedition to Castle Ravenloft campaign adventure updates the original 1st Edition Ravenloft® module, retaining the Gothic fl avor and familiar elements while expanding and reimagining some of the locations to create a deeper, richer adventure experience. This campaign adventure is designed for characters of levels 6–10 and features a new, easy-to-use combat encounter format.
