You may have noticed from my Book of Toth post, that after 20 years with this game, I am just begining to discover the college of Greater Summonings. In...
Apropos this whole discussion of the level of magic in DQ, I remember an event very early on in my original DQ campaign. I had run a couple of adventures, and...
Oh, yes. Arcane Wisdom was on the boards and under way. They fully intended to have that as part of the whole canon of DQ, even to the point of making...

Appologies to all. I thought I was replying to a personal message, not one from the list. Sorry for sending that to the whole group....
... You know, I think that whole "magic shop" idea is something that sort of went with D&D, as opposed to DQ. I tend to have a stereotype of hard-core D&D...
I have seen a lot of good images in some of the recent DQ publications (Forbbiden Lore, and Poor Brendan's Almanac come to mind). But i am have trouble...
I would love to hear some of your suggestions re Summoners. I use demons frequently in my campaign. They are one of the elements of DQ that really sets it...

I didn't mean to imply that there was no trade in magical items, or that magical services couldn't be bought. The distinction I wanted to make was that the...
I don't have so many, because I am just discovering the college myself. But I had campaign thoughts on this college and one other. If you were to make Greater...
I think Demons in a DQ campaign are an element that adds suspense. Also, in my opinion, including the existence of 'non-fallen angels' could be spectacular as...

Anthony, I thought I recognized you from CGG! I'd be very interested to see that particular college of magic. "Anthony N. Emmel" <lord_kjeran@...> wrote:...
Well, I'd sure like to know more about that rule! The College of Shaping Magics always made me a little dizzy as a GM. Too many ways to abuse power, in my...
I looked it up and could not find the rule. It almost appears as if a paragraph is missing from my copy of the 1st edition. It starts with "Adepts are not...
I said I had another question; here it is: Along the same lines as the discussion about magic shops and magic-rich versus magic-poor, do any of you have...
Good point! I think the unspoken rule here that we have all been following is a more "serious" fantasy world. Not that Harry Potter is not serious, but it...
I don't. But thanks to you Rodger, I have some more homework ;-) ... rich versus magic-poor, do any of you have standard rates for various magical services? ...
Here is what I use in my campaign. Hope you find it useful. (I'm cut/pasting this out of a word doc, hope it survives the journey.) Also note, just because...

Harry Potter is an interesting case in light of the whole magic-rich/magic-poor discussion. For most people (muggles), it is a magic-poor (read: nonexistent)...
I had to look this up and see for myself, and it's true. In First Edition DQ, the discussion at the beginning of each order of demons states that a shield can...
Rodger, You ROCK! Thank you for finding this and posting it! That's what I love about this group. God bless the Internet. Thanks again, Jim ... -- "It's...
The Book of Toth discussion jogged my memory of another tantalizing reference never (AFAIK) fleshed out: the Magician skill possessed by Loklar in the Palance...

The magician skill was printed in an old Dragon mag. Unfortunately, the DQ stuff is at home and I'm at work at the moment, so details are a bit fuzzy. The...
