I am honoured that you think I know how to pronounce all of the different words I use when writing these things :D As a general guide most of the words are Anishnabe (Ojibwa) indian or Blackfoot Plains Cree, and they did not have a written language so the English spelling of the words is very phonet...

I asked Russ Brown and here is his reply:

"No Easter Eggs in the ballads I wrote. They're just original ramblings.
The drinking bits and slamming mugs in Denan's arm are loosely based on
what happens when they play Wild Rover in British pubs."

Thank you for noticing!

That is awesome! I put a lot of easter eggs in my writing and love it when someone gets one! I based Wyvern Riding on a 19th century Canadian stevedore work song... of unknown origin... I even put the name of the band to make the song popular in the 90's in the body of the lyrics. I will check with ...

Funny when I met Joseph at GENCON 08 I thought he was 7 feet tall!

I think i saw a picture of him in a group at GENCON 07 and he was at the back standing on a box...

Vulgar fey interest me, you guys mention several different locations are they all outdoors? Also what types of creatures are there besides the mentioned fey types and my final question (for now) how adaptable is this module to C&C? I'm thinking this could be a fun theme if the adventure takes p...

There are definitely Scandinavian influences in the vulgar fey creatures in the module... I also wanted to do some work with Aboriginal North American Indian culture - a historic people that are pretty neglected in D&D... also that helped me to make a DCC module that does have a role for the ran...

That is awesome... I love the way you made the island come to life!

WRT the alchemost (ooze critter), our initial plan was to lure it out into the entry chamber, then circle around and get past it, locking it behind us. However, we ended up just luring it out of its lair, then hitting it from both sides; I think it did hit us once or twice before we dropped it. In ...

thanks i'll check this out!

take the lads and ladies through the gate at the end of the golden palace of zahadran, across the chinvat bridge onto mount alburz and have them face ahzi dahaka and the hosts of evil deva led by the dark god angra mainyu on the pinnacle of hellscape that once spawned the world... geez i am gonna ha...

Oopps... Had I known that DCC was going to create a pantheon of official gods i would have chosen differently. I really like the research that goes into the creation of a module - I like to choose a different historical inspiration for my modules. In The Isle of Faroe i looked to Scandinavian roots....

Yes, It was written by a werecabbage buddy of mine B Matt Conklin III - we collaborated on a module for "The Adventure Continues":

here it is:

And don't forget DCC 32 "The golden palace of zahadran" i hear from a good source that it has 6 unique devas (demons) in it...

I'm sure I can extrapolate the correct numbers myself, but I'd rather get the 'official' word just to be safe. It seems that in DCC32, the stats for the Saena Tree were misprinted. Specifically, in the stat block, the saves are listed as follows: Str 30, Dex 1, etc. Ability scores rather than savin...

vampires can command wolves and bat swarms - summon them and have them harrass the party for a few rounds before haivng Azubal show up. After Azubal killed one of them, my players ran... got split up, jumped from a spire into the river below, some ran to the forest, one hide in the dungeon, and basi...

i have tickets and hotel registration taken care of - My first gencon and i am pumped! Anyone else travelling 4500kms to get there?

"The Golden Palace of Zahadran" of course... it has Azi Dahaka - storm demon of unmaking right there on the cover! Plus new demons or deva as the persians refer to them.

I am of course not the most unbiased person to ask this question...

for ordering in canada and the USA for that matter you can't go wrong with these guys: http://www.hillcity-comics.com/ they were my FLGS until i moved and now i still order from them all the time and they are fast and have some great discounts - and if you like board games they have a canada only si...

SPOILER ALERT If it is any consolation - in my play test Azi died on round 3 by failing a disintigrate save.... High level D20 plays like that! When he reappeared at the end of the module over a lake of molten glass at the head of a small army of deva the carnage really began... I agonized over the ...

i recommend you play the isle of fury and then come back here and tell us what you thought of it... of course i am really biased...

Stay tuned i think i may have thrown a wrench in this prediction!

My full time job is as a high school social studies teacher so usually I don't talk about my work because everyone has gone to school and has a pretty good idea about what I do for a living... Funny thing is usually when I tell people I am a high school teacher they are always strangely disappointed...

Thanks for the kind words. I enjoyed researching the module, i have a strong bias towards D&D with a bit of historical flavour - especially the non traditional (western european) topics. I was very happy with the way the opening and ending battles worked out as i wrote the module. If you happen ...

Thats awesome! I thought you didn't get it and have been patiently checking back every day for that AHA! moment...
