Protius, Faunus and Hel also have obvious counterparts in Blackmoor. I have a couple of candidates for Kagyar, though I'll have to think about which dwarven patron would fit the best. I'll see if I can find some for the others as well. Thanks for providing me a list of which to look for! :) Others are also welcome to jump in on this one :) Håvard ******************************************************************** The Other Worlds Homepage: http://www.wizards.com/dnd/OtherWorlds.asp The Mystara Homepage: http://www.pandius.com To unsubscribe, send email to LISTSERV@ORACLE.WIZARDS.COM with UNSUB MYSTARA-L in the body of the message. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 16 Mar 2006 18:47:33 +0100 From: Giampaolo Agosta Subject: Re: Blackmoor Havard Faanes ha scritto: > >> The following Immortals were certainly around during >> the Blackmoorian age: Protius, Faunus, Terra, Ka, Korotiku, Hel, >> Calitha, Kagyar, Valerias and Verthandi.

Though he doesn't need to have been one of the original dwarven patrons, IIRC he took notice of the dwarves after the GRoF. > Thanks for providing me a list of which to look for! > :) You're welcome. Of course, if you can provide a conversion table, then I'd be even more happy ;) Bye, GP ******************************************************************** The Other Worlds Homepage: http://www.wizards.com/dnd/OtherWorlds.asp The Mystara Homepage: http://www.pandius.com To unsubscribe, send email to LISTSERV@ORACLE.WIZARDS.COM with UNSUB MYSTARA-L in the body of the message. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 16 Mar 2006 11:28:30 -0800 From: Chris Cherrington Subject: Re: Japanese Rules Cyclopedia I think George beats me by a year, I can't remember that far back... Anyways, it was Chanimail that got me hooked. I think George is the same way I am, we both played or collected just about every RPG made back in the 80's. MERP, Ice, Car Wars, Top Secret, 007 (West End Games or Victory?). The only new big buying craze for a system was when Vampire first came out, then that died a year later, as I had nobody to play with. Speaking a which, I just moved again, now I am being located in Livingston, Texas; about an hour north of Houston.
