Well some time ago i wrote a lot of things about the history of dragons in Mystara, and their links with the reptilians races, for my campaign, but for now all the material is in italian...

I use psionics IMC from the start (one of my PCs chose to play a psionic), even if we play still (modified) OD&D.. There are few of them, especially in Sind, Yavdlom and Alphatia, and in Alphatia (that IMC never sunk) they are linked to the church of Palartarkan (air and mind based magic..). The greatest difficulty is to merge them with the rules, but i used the guidelines in Skills and Powers, where are mentioned spells that work against psionics powers and so on... But i know very little about 3E rules (even if i own the books) and so i don't know how to fit them with those rules... bye Francesco ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 25 Dec 2001 20:37:07 +0100 From: Agathokles Subject: Re: What can a cat see from the moon?

Not necessarily. IIRC, the poles are screened by an area of magical darkness. > As anyone had them invade the Hollow World in force? > I think they might be able to give the Heldanners and Alphatia some > competition More than some. There is a scenario by Bruce Heard where the Myoshimans attempt an invasion of Freiburg. It should be somewhere under the HK entry. -- Giampaolo Agosta agathokles@libero.it agosta@elet.polimi.it http://digilander.iol.it/agathokles ------------------------------ End of MYSTARA-L Digest - 24 Dec 2001 to 25 Dec 2001 (#2001-6) **************************************************************
