Aaah, but I have to agree with Ironwolf : Elves DO have their place on Magnamund. We can find many ways to introduce them there : - Slaves for the shadakis. - Food for Doom Wolves. - Targets (to train the Kai Lord novices for the use of range weapons.) - Combustible for the inhabitants of...

It's even mor than that : Grey Star is asked to free the spirit of the dead by, IIRC, using a forbidden spell. I remember that, when I read this, I thought : "Hey, this is described as being nasty, evil, archi-verbotten but Grey Star knows it. And if he knows it, it's obviously because the...

I simply don't know if Shiantis can be seen as "good" or "evil". Well from *their* point of vue, they're obviously good. And all that you read at the beginning of the GS books is probably that : the point of vue of the Shiantis. They never intended to harm anyone on Magnamund and in spite of...

Dreaming is free but can we hope to see in the bestiary some of the original artworks pictured by Gar Chalk ? I know that Gary Chalk has made his artowrk free of copyrights for the Project Aon so I don't thinks it would be a problem. I'm very aware that using such old pictures would be...

Ok, I now have a good overview of the book. I won't say that it's very good since everybod else has already said that. (That said, it is very good.) Instead I will tell what goes wrong with it ; three words : bestiary, herbology, map. - The bestiary is really ridiculous. I understand that the...

Some years ago, someone had created a "Magnamund bestiary" for AD&D2. Here are some of the creatures listed in it (I've not included the ones that have already been mentioned in this thread.) Anath Wasps (Bk #15) Avarosi (Bk #19) Baknar (Bk #3) Bangrol (Bk #19) Bhakish (Bk #10) Black Corvayl...

Then I just have to know which version of the story the Lone Wolf RPG I've bought is based on. Whim, it is, really. As I said elsewhere, the Legends of Lone Wolf are linked to Lone Wolf only by the title. Actually, they're the Legends of John Grant's Mary Sues. You can't blame me for...

A perfect example of why so many people dislike the Legends. The description of the shianti by John Grant doesn't fit at all with the one given by Ian Page and Paul Bonner in Grey Star. Ok, you could answer that it's minor and that he can have is own vision, and that he's an artist, et al. But...

I'm happy to learn that you (August) have not used too much of the Legends in the RPG (I just got my copy, at last !) To clarify things : John Grant himself explained that he never cared for Lone Wolf and even that he does not especially like LW's universe. The Legends were only for him a mean...

The descirptions given on the bases are correct. The catalogues and newsletter were wrong ("noodnic" was also badly spelled IIRC.) I really guess it is - look at the left hand. But it doesn't matter really much anyway. Murphy says : "Prince Pelethar's lance is broken ; if not, Gourgaz's axe...

GJD ; "Wolfhead", "Morningstar" and twoswords" are not LW minis. The Citadel LW range was divided in two parts : - The C-41 serie : 11 miniatures that were sold individually : Lone Wolf, Banedon, Vonotar, two noodnics, a drakkarim, a vordak (described as a helghast in the old Citadel...

All that I know is that I have ordered my copy through my local store and that I still don't have it yet because the book is already out of stock. Good news for Mongoose I guess but I want my copy ! :(

News or pics would be welcome !

Found a quote. It's from the newsletter No. 27 (June 1994) in the "Gwynian's Forum" : *** Is Helshezag or 'Black Sword' a tribute to Michael Moorcock, and have Joe Dever and he ever met? (B.M.) Yes—‘Helshezag’ is a subtle tribute to Michael Moorcock’s ‘Storrnbringer’ (Elric of Melnibone’s...

In one of his old newsletters, Dever wrote that Helshezag was an homage to Moorcock's Stormbringer. However, I've always been under the impression that the two swords work in opposed ways : Stormbringer kills your friends and foes alike to give you their energy ; Helshezag takes your energy to...
