http://www.greyhawkonline.com/wogcomic/title/wogstrip264a.htm This week I feature some olllld D&D ads and an insightful look on the origins of Greyhawk. It's a doozy to read but worth it.
I have been running mods out of Dungeon recently and something is nagging me about the design of NPC wizards. Rings of Protection and Bracers of Armor/Mage Armor have been ubiquitous for a long time, but I see a new trend: precast False Life. This isn't necessarily the fault of the adventure writers, maybe it's just an indicator of the way the game is now. It's real minor but it nags at me in a way I can't explain just right.
Well I checked back in on the gencon event lists and paizo is finally on there. Writing for Dungeon Magazine: Come see what Dragon magazine has in store for the next year and get tips and tricks for getting your ideas published in the pages of the oldest D&D magazine around.

The last one looks interesting, I'm going to try for that. See yas there if so!
The cover of the latest issue was cool, but...the inside thumbnail shows a white dragon with blue highlights. My cover has a white dragon in some purplish amethyst highlight. I didn't even know it was a white dragon until I looked inside the mag. Then on the page with Zogonia much to my dismay I saw the color printing was offset resulting in a drunken blur. Yup, I think I got a bad copy. Anyone else?
Thursday night is upon us! Don't be afraid, come inside the Greytalk Inn, grab a drink, and pull up a stool. Join the local Greysages and your Host Gary Holian as they share tales of canon both popular and heretical. Be assured that any Greyhawk topic is welcomed and maybe, if you make your Gather Information check, you can also glean some insider rumors on upcoming published material. Speaking of Topics, heres a few in case things stall: Titles of Greyhawk: What are the differences in titles across the Flanaess' nations? Is an Earl in Keoland the same as a Jarl in Jotsplat? And just what is a Herzog anyways? Triple Postfest: Brainstorm ideas and discuss how to go about writing for this ongoing Canonfire event. This time around there are three topics spread throughout the summer. See if any of them spark your creative juices. Age of Worms: Take the bait and discuss the new Greyhawk themed adventure path in Dungeon magazine. This series certainly holds some insight on Oerth's past and future. The chat starts at 8pm EST to whenever. Go to Psionics.net on your IRC program of choice and goto #greytalk to join in the festivities with the Greysages.
