Citadel Quiz #1

   Ok, I'm going to take a stab at her, I mean at it :twisted: I seem to recall a Lori or Lauren Wellington, Welling, Washington? :Thud:

2. Re: Citadel Quiz #1

   Seems like the Citadel roleplaying community has willfully purged her from their memory.
   
   Just as well. The woman, Lorraine Williams, claimed she was socially superior to gamers, which she considered little but neckbeard cows to be milked of their cash by the means of whatever crappy product necessary. In many ways she was the harbinger of the end of the tabletop era.
   
   Good attempt, Aramax, but a little too far from the mark.

   She also produced crappy Buck Rogers content, which TSR paid a hefty licensing fee for to.... her! Her family owns the rights to buck rogers. So she is not only a disgusting cow who looks down on gamers, she was happy to f u c k  TSR to make a bit more money for herself.

13. Re: Citadel Quiz #1

    #53

    Fond memories of playing that on the Apple ][e. Alas, I never got very far. I think I might've read the book? Still, I can't recall the name

14. Re: Citadel Quiz #1

    #54

    It's funny I don't remember the daemon possessing a bronze dragon but I'll never forget the name of the main villain in Phlan. I'm hoping they are one and the same lol
    
    Tyranthraxus!!!!

15. Re: Citadel Quiz #1

    #55

    Tyranthraxus! The daemon that lured a bronze dragon to bathe in the pool of radiance, and then possessed the mighty creature.

16. Re: Citadel Quiz #1

    #56

    13 clans with the Toreador being the classiest/sexiest. Unless you mean pure nobility in which case it's Ventrue.

17. Re: Citadel Quiz #1

    #57

    A sweet answer, Ladywolfe, with all bases covered! 13 clans and Ventrue was the answer I was looking for. Well done!

18. Re: Citadel Quiz #1

    #58

    It is based on D&D 3.5, which was sold by TSR to paizo because TSR was coming out with 4.0

    "What is the name of the two-headed giants in the Dungeons and Dragons system?"
    

22. Re: Citadel Quiz #1

    #62

    Ettins

23. Re: Citadel Quiz #1

    #63

    Ettins. There are also a Troll-Ettin Hybrid if I remember correctly.
    
    Regarding #19.  TSR was gone long before the birth of pathfinder - WOTC owned the license.
    
    Pazio did not buy 3.5 to build pathfinder - they created pathfinder from the OGL, which was one of the reasons WOTC created 4th edition and why it was so dramatically different from all other editions...
    
    At least, that is my understanding :)
    

24. Re: Citadel Quiz #1

    #64

    Ettens

25. Re: Citadel Quiz #1

    #65

    Ettins.
    
    This is an ancient cliche that I'm sure lots of people have experienced but one of my favorite mini-encounters ever was when my PCs heard "two" giants talking a bit down the tunnel from them and began plotting a 2-Giants attack strategy. When they saw it was just the 1 Ettin, the look of genuine surprise on their faces made my day :)

31. Re: Citadel Quiz #1

    #71

    It was called Glamdring (Foe Hammer) and was created by the elves of Gondolin who enchanted all their weapons to glow with a cold light when Goblins and Orcs were near.
    
    Orcrist was the sword claimed by Thorin Oakenshield. Its name means Goblin Cleaver, and like Sting and Glamdring it was also forged in Gondolin.
    
    None had a complete answer and the Quiz is STILL ON!
