Jul 03, 2006 14:55:42 LOL classic. That's twice today my comic has been referenced for a thread (Kord is the other). I love it!

p.s. it wouldn't surprise me if someday Cobb became a quasi-deity. Of what I have NO idea, maybe god of racial confusion.

As for Cobb, I rather see him taking Secrets from Vecna's portfolio :P

Jul 03, 2006 16:36:18 For what it's worth, in LG we deliberately (on pain of pain) decided never to even speculate about what/who he might be.

If you're using him in your campaign, just assume there's more to him than meets the eye and that there's not a lot that escapes his attention. Everything else is irrelevant.

Some mysteries should always remain unsolved. ;)

Jul 04, 2006 12:16:13 Hate to tell everyone their is no santa but IIRC Cobb Darg a Gold Dragon who assumed the shape of a human and become mayor of Irongate ofcourse only his closest confidante - forget her name - knows his true form.

LGG or OJ article, I believe.

Jul 04, 2006 14:12:25 I've always thought he was a Dragon (since the 1983 boxed set, when the ruler for Irongate was actually given a name), though in my occassional-p/d/b dyslexic manner, I figured Cobb meant that he was a copper dragon :P

It's not in the LGG, for sure.

And the OJ, though excellent, isn't Canon.

I think I know the article you're talking about though. It was a fan-piece entitled Dragons of Greyhawk (or something similar) and used to be on the Codex of Greyhawk site (it might have made it into the OJ after that). I never liked that it defined what Cobb Darg was.

Jul 05, 2006 9:00:05 Looks like the Dragons of Aerdy article isn't included in the internet archive for the Codex. There was a section for Dragon NPCs, and Cobb was listed (that much is still archived, just not the actual text/contents).

Nice! Knowing the love of anagrams in Greyhawk, Cobb Darg fairly screams copper dragon.
