Re: Menzoberranzan: City of Intrigue

<t>The LP series as I see it: The ending was vague for a reason- it left them an out in case the idea was not well-received (it wasn't). Also, if one reads it very carefully, she did not appear in the Astral, as the other "dead" gods did (Kiaransalee simply crumbled to dust, but Selvatarm most defin...

Re: Menzoberranzan: City of Intrigue

<r>According to the design team, the Sundering will be the LAST RSE. After this event, the Realms is supposed to return to a more stable setting, and be given back to the players and fans. Also, regarding the Sundering, we really do not know yet just exactly what it will entail, or what effects it w...

Re: Menzoberranzan: City of Intrigue

<t>Why are you so sure that the Sundering won't return them to canon? It's at least two more years before 5th/Next comes out. At this point, all we have is a few vague but promising statements on what the Sundering WILL do- which is return ALL the gods. We don't even know anything concrete about the...

Re: Menzoberranzan: City of Intrigue

<r>How far into WotSQ did you get? Cause they DO have ambitions , ideas, and goals of their own, personal wants and needs that they try to pursue. They are no more "automatons" than any given religious vealot in RL. Simply because they are indoctrinated from birth does NOT mean they have no free wil...

Re: Menzoberranzan: City of Intrigue

<t>Y'know, it has occured to me that there is something being overlooked here- the "Rise of the Underdark" RSE(?) "event" that is still in the works as well. I understand that the hoopla over the Sundering has caught everyone's attention, but in the meantime, we don't know how or if the two will pla...

Re: Menzoberranzan: City of Intrigue

<t>Annnnd we've come full-circle, it seems. This is basically what I've been saying already, except in "official" canon format. I've already seen or heard much of this, and it is part of what makes me hopeful of the future, especially with Ed at the helm (it's HIS baby, after all!), along with the i...

<t>A few that I have created or used in my campaigns- <br/> <br/> Thinking Cap- always says what's on its mind- often at the most inopportune times. <br/> Musical Chairs- they move around when one attempts to sit on them, while playing annoying music.<br/> Flute of Puppies- turns 1d6 creatures of 6 ...

Re: Menzoberranzan: City of Intrigue

<t>Given what Eric has said (and YES, they ARE suppoerting multiple eras- that was explicitly stated during the D&D keynote address at Gen-Con, which I watched), and the various other bits that have come out in the last week or two, it sounds like WotC has begun to rethink its decision on axing ...

Re: Menzoberranzan: City of Intrigue

<t>I will note that several of the downloads did not work, and the info in the two that DID was very scetchy, at best. Just a single page of "overview", NOT a table of contents..... Not enough info there to determine one way or another what IS or IS NOT in the book- and I'd take what someone claimin...

Re: Menzoberranzan: City of Intrigue

<t>My question to you is: Did you read through the excerpts? Cause just from the one on drow factions alone, I'm seeing hints that they ARE present. The artwork on that page alone is telling- a drow female in a WHITE gown being threatened by a bunch of Lolthites, and mentions in the text of both Gha...

Re: Would EIlistraee forbid...?

<t>The Demihuman Deities book mentions that they DO sometimes dress in full armor when going into battle, though it does not specify type. So I would assume that some of them probably do wear helms at times. And their are Temple Guardians (an Eilistraeean prestige class) who are like knights in armo...

Re: Menzoberranzan: City of Intrigue

<t>Well, the Menzo book isn't the be-all and end-all of their Underdark lore, either. As I understand it, it's just PART of what they have in store. the "Rise of the Underdark" "event" seems to have a pretty big impact on FR, and I honestly can't see them doing that without at least SOME mention of ...
