Hilarious. Where did you find it?

What was this "obviously stupid" title?
I missed it, but apparently it's going to also be run on Sci-fi Channel and USA Network (in my area, anyway), if you get either of those.
Well done sir. Good to hear he's all right.
How do you get ToEE out of those questions and answers? ToEE was never hinted at GenCon, but Undermountain, which features a prominent inn called the Yawning Portal and is the entrance to Undermountain's dungeons, was mentioned. Where was Undermountain mentioned at GenCon? If anything from the snippets mentioned above, I'm guessing its Castle Greyhawk and the inn is some place in the eponymous City. I would have said the Flounder Pounder, but that was covered in the DMG2.
Thus are dashed my hopes of seeing My Little Pony d20 a reality after all.
Could it be a Age of Worms hardcover? Hope so I don't think an Age of Worms hardcover would qualify as a big secret at all. Besides that, its already been written and there are plenty of people down the ladder that could do it instead.
And can someone please explain to me how in the hell to do these cut and paste bits from other people's comments after I click on the reply button... {QUOTE="name"}text{/QUOTE} - just change the the squiggly brackets {} to flat ones. Or, hit the reply button on the upper right of a post.
I heard that during the height of the gaming craze (early 80's) that many police officers were trained to pick up on D&D hints regarding a suspect because it may mean that they were unstable and more prone to violence - but that was a rumor as far as I know. I seem to remember that there once was a group called MAD&D (Yep, Mothers Against D&D). It seems to be defunct now, I could not find any reference to it on the Internet. Anyone else old enough to confirm or debunk its existance? The group was BADD (Bothered About D&D) and among other things, they distributed "information" to law enforcement groups, schools, etc. basically fingering D&D, "black heavy metal music", and movies as the seeds of a vast satanic conspiracy which threatened to Corrupt Your Children. A public, well-written rebuttal and criticism of BADD and its methods can be found here

Anyone else old enough to confirm or debunk its existance? I think you two are referring to the efforts of one Patricia Pulling and her organization BADD (Bothered About D&D). You can find a very well written treatise outlining and rebutting her ideas and methods here:
Now I feel REALLY old. I woulda said the same thing about "Load".
You're not the only one. Just the other day, several of the editors were aghast when it was revealed that I didn't know the "giant Slor" monologue from "Ghostbusters"... a conversation which went something like this: *snip* I remember going to see Ghostbusters in the theater when I was 4... I didn't realize it was possible to feel *that* old already!
Well done, sir. Dungeon is in capable hands.
So Erik is working on a project involving Kate Beckinsale covered in Magic Shell ice cream topping (mmm) eating an abalone sandwich (ick) in a redwood tree while stomping bipedal lizards with a remote-control dinosaur or spider that she purchased at Best Buy on a Tuesday. And harboring a dark secret. Neat! Speaking as someone who missed out on 1e and 2e, I'd find something Greyhawk beyond awesome. Even more so than the preceding paragraph.
I still have two awaiting the Gatekeeper, though the earliest was from late April-early May. I'm keeping my fingers crossed though.
Yupp, and that's what caused the whole "wasn't there a poster?"-business... We liked it in Dungeon, we like it in the FC I, and we would like it on our walls : ) I wouldn't mind having that myself. That one, the one with the Drow and displ...anything by Wayne Reynolds, really. I wonder if Paizo can make the dream possible...
I think the picture appears again in the new WotC book comeing out Fiendish Codex: Hordes of the Abyss (or something like that). Indeed. Here's the link: http://wizards.com/dnd/images/fc1_gallery/100417.jpg
I've got all 4 parts of the map. I don't recall which one came with issue #121, but they're all blank white on the reverse side. Also, Wil Save was the last page of that issue, so they hadn't gotten around to reprinting the cover art yet. Where did you hear this rumor?
Actually I think that the voice actor for Korgoth and Brock are one in the same. They are not the same voice actor. Brock Sampson is voiced by the great Patrick Warburton (The Tick, Seinfeld, Emperor's New Groove) while Korgoth was none other than Deidrich Bader (The Drew Carey Show, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, Baby Blues, etc.)
It has started. I'll see you there sir!
I've been meaning to ask this too. Would it be possible to scan a signed SDF and then copying/filling in the rest to send? Does anyone already do this?
After a brief hiatus, I have yet another query marching towards the gate. Any idea how much of a backlog the gatekeeper currently faces?
skull island - so you mean Isle of the Ape is going to be involved? ;) That was my first impression. Then I remembered that the Isle of the Ape is stuck on a demiplane tucked somewhere on the 163,987th level of Castle Greyhawk, and not actually in the ocean. *sigh* I'll get my Oonga someday...
Count me in for that as well. I'm sick of waiting until the subscribers get their latest issue for my FLGS to get the CURRENT one. Methinks its time to subscribe.
Savages in the ocean? Sounds kinda like a possible Skull Island-like scenario. Or something like a Return to the Isle of Dread adventure? No giant monkeys there (alas, poor forgotten Oonga) but plenty of dinosaurs. I'd much rather see that than plain old pirates. Even ninja pirates. Riding dinosaurs. Hunter
I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for Dragon Warrior, the Final Fantasy's we got through VI, and Ultima's VI, VII parts 1 and 2, but my all time favorite cRPG is Betrayal at Krondor. It didn't have the greatest graphics, but it had an awesome storyline and interesting combat mechanics. Plus, it had oodles of hidden treasure chests you had to solve a riddle to open. I guess I'll throw in the Baldur's Gate series as well, since its what sparked my interest in D&D all over again. Hunter
I don't think WotC owns Paizo--they license Dungeon and Dragon magazine to Paizo, but they don't OWN it, unless I'm way off mark. WoTC doesn't own Paizo, but they do own the magazines and the content within (I guess). Apparently Paizo has the rights to republish anything within, as evidenced by the Dragon Compendium and Shackled City hardcover. Personally, I think Paizo acquiring the rights to Greyhawk would be a godsend. I didn't get into D&D until the early 3e days, and picked up the FR books due mostly to it being the only setting I was familiar with (mostly through various computer games). It was Dungeon's "30 greatest adventures" article last year that piqued my interest in Greyhawk (though paying $30+ for the latest FR sourcebook that was nice to look at but an indescribably dull read helped too), and I've found it to not only have an incredibly rich history, but also amazing flexibility. I wish there was more to be had, and I'd really like to see Paizo's stamp on the material, but I'll keep buying Dungeon and Dragon as long as the 'Hawk gets the love. Hunter
Awesome! My very own avatar. At least until 37 other people pick this one too... Hunter
I sent in a query about 2 weeks ago, but no word from James yet. I guess I'm not making it in this round :( Hunter
See, that's my problem, I need to learn to take an idea to the Next Level (tm). Hunter - wishing all of you to have an above average day =|
James - Any word on which monsters/plotlines you're sick of this go-round? I figured I'd ask before submitting another evil cultist half-dragon wererat borg adventure query. Hunter
January 22 for me. Hope mine make it through, though I doubt even Paizo would force poor James to work all weekend. On submissions anyway. =| Hunter
Now THAT'S something you don't see every day! James: So should I assume that my submissions from January (like, last week) won't be making it into this meeting, then? I don't want to raise my fret level for nothing. Hunter
I just wanted to be number 700 :-P Congrats Steve, looks like this little thread of yours has found, um, 'traction'! Hunter
Could it be Richard Pett's "The Devil Box" from issue #109?
IIRC, B2: the Keep on the Borderlands was either set in the Known World or was completely setting nonspecific (if that's even a word), not Greyhawk. I do believe Return to the KotB places it in the Yeomanry, though. I don't recall seeing it on the poster map either, but I don't have that section handy at the moment. Hunter
Quite possibly, but the question is will they be reviewing all submissions up to that date? It's been about 4 months since the last meeting (though that seems to be the average, and the guys were all caught up then I believe). I sure hope so. Hunter
0 for 3 this round. Black Tuesday has been unkind to us.
Hunter
Gatekeeper is strictly a Dungeon thing, and it's only for queries and submissions - requested manuscripts still go to the normal addresses. Dungeon@paizo.com remains a valid address, but all submissions sent there get forwarded to Gatekeeper anyway, so it's more efficient to just send your stuff straight there. *Whew* Good to know. I'm sitting on 3 queries, all sent to the gatekeeper address. For a while I was fretting that I'd possibly sent them into a proverbial black hole after all. Ccongrats on the promotions! You guys are doing an awesome job at Dungeon. Keep up the good work! Hunter
Lucky size 13 here. 12. Corollary question, when it seems most of us males wear between 10 1/2 and 12, why do the shoe stores stock 4 of those sizes and 712 of size 7? Its to create an artificial collectible shoe market. As with miniatures, sizes 7-9½ are "common", 10-12 "uncommon", and 6½ and 13 being "rare". It should be noted that 12½s are not sold in stores, and can only be obtained by buying a complete set and mailing in your proofs of purchase + 3.95 s/h. Hunter
I'm wondering, though, if there is anyone here with something that should have made the summer meeting who is still waiting for an answer? Boy I sure hope not :\ This may just be coincidence of timing, but it appears that the staff waits to hold a submissions meeting until after all the replies from the last one have gone out. I'm still waiting on responsed for June, July, and August, the last of which should have (barely) made the cutoff date. As busy as things have been, I suspect the next meeting will be sometime around February and cover up through December (though much of this is wishful thinking on my part). Hunter
This chick has a strange tint to her skin, spots, a tail, and these HUGE FRICKIN' HORNS! It may just be me, but in some pictures, noteably the cover of Dungeon #125, she appears to have cloven feet (or maybe they are just REALLY uncomfortable flip-flops). Hunter
Still waiting for word on my 3 proposals. With luck I should have another 2 in by the end of the month as well. On that note, can anyone tell me if queries for backdrops/cities of adventure go into the pile with adventure queries, or are they evaluated in separate meetings? Hunter
You gotta wonder how the pile is organized... since both G-cubed and the Wereplatypus have heard, it can't be alphabetical. It's also possible they are responded to in backward order (most recent submitted).... I don't think they are responded to in backward order either. I have 3 in the pile, the earliest was back in June and one just barely made the cutoff date. I haven't heard back about any of them yet. It would be interesting to know how the submissions response process works, but I'm sure Paizo has to keep SOME trade secrets... Hunter
400 posts! And from the looks of things this thread isn't going away anytime soon. Here's to the next 400 posts and what they may bring. Hunter
2 more down, that leaves about 10-11 acceptances to account for. Congrats Hal! Hunter *runs to the inbox yet again*
I had three submissions in the pile, and I've heard nothing yet either. I'm sure when they do go out there will be a flurry of posts to this thread from all of us, for better or worse. Hunter
Good job you guys! Hope everything works out for you. Hunter
Unfortunately, I am about to head home for the weekend, so replies will have to wait until at least Monday Three more days...Three more days...Three more days... Good luck everyone!
I'm both. :/ All 3 of my submissions made the cutoff date, so this is a very bad time for the Writers Block to set in. Time to get cracking I guess. Good luck everyone!
