| #1zombiegleemaxAug 27, 2003 12:54:35 | Are there orcs in DL or not ? Because wasnt the guy in Kendermore half orc or is this another one of the stupid mistakes ? |
| #2talinthasAug 27, 2003 12:59:31 | no orcs, and kendermore was a mistake.
though i seem to be the only person who really enjoyed that book =)
(for what its worth, i just call him a half ogre, and move on.) |
| #3zombiegleemaxAug 27, 2003 13:05:04 | I enjoyed that book too =) But my fav prelude was Riverwind and then Tanis the Shadow Years =) |
| #4DragonhelmAug 27, 2003 13:08:05 | Tal, I enjoyed the book too.
Actually, even my wife enjoyed the book, and she's not really into fantasy like I am. I think Kendermore is the only DL book she's read. |
| #5cam_banksAug 27, 2003 13:24:02 | I'm not sure, but the recent reprint of that infamous book may have fixed the reference. Anyone got a copy with the new cover?
Cheers,

Yes, it was fixed.
The half-orc has since moved into the DLCS. :D (sorry, couldn't resist)
Personally, I think this half-orc should be embraced as a kender tale. It isn't real by any means, but by golly, it sure is a crowd pleaser. :D |
| #7talinthasAug 27, 2003 13:29:48 | you mean, actually pay money for it? again? |

A true completist wouldn't balk at the idea of getting a re-release with a brand new cover! ;) |
| #9talinthasAug 27, 2003 14:10:06 | right. when it comes to paying tuition or buying kendermore, thats a hard decision. Mary Kirchoff is such a great writer, and gisella is a great character. Oh well, college isnt going anywhere =) |
| #10zombiegleemaxAug 27, 2003 14:56:20 | can someone tell me what this book is, and how i get it. anyting set in a kender city is worth reading. |
| #11cam_banksAug 27, 2003 14:58:25 | That book would be the same one talked about in this thread - Kendermore, by Mary Kirchoff. Available at a bookstore near you.
Cheers,

| #12zombiegleemaxAug 27, 2003 14:58:31 | It is one of the preludes. It is called Kendermore. |

for what its worth, they didnt actually fix the half orc. see page 308 of the new kendermore.
i checked today. made me sad. |
| #14Matthew_L._MartinAug 28, 2003 22:19:14 | On a tangential note, the only case I can think of where a setting detail (not a typo) has been fixed between editions of a DL book has been DoaLS, where the references to the Citadel of Light being on Sancrist in the hardcover were corrected to Schallsea in the paperback, IIRC. Have there been any others?
(Of course, many might see the removal of the Appendix from the paperback of DoaVM as another example . . .;) )

| #15StreamdragonAug 29, 2003 8:15:14 | Preludes volume II. The book I happen to be reading right now  I have the original printing, so I'll keep my eye out for the half orc reference, then show it to my GM and see if he'll let me play one then :D j/k, stickin with my Kagonesti |
