30 Day D&D Challenge, Day 9: Favorite Character I Haven't Played

Day 9: Favorite Character I Haven't Played

That's easy.  My character Astra Kent, aka Justice.
I have stated her up in a number of systems but I have not had the chance to play her at all.  Ok ok. So she is technically not a D&D character.  But she is the one.
I have wanted to play my witch Larina under Pathfinder (closer to D&D) but I have not found a good group for that yet.

Day 8: Favorite Character I Have Played

So many really. My favorite goes against my normal type. Nigel Blade aka Death Blade was a dual classed fighter/assassin in AD&D. I have played him in other games as well, notably Gama World and StarFrontiers.
I have also enjoyed playing my regular witch character Larina.

Zatannurday: Super-Team Family

I have featured Zatanna covers from the great Super Team Family blog in the past.  But recently they hit their 1000th post and it featured two of my favorites.  Zatanna and Harry Potter.

Love the cards.

Other Zatanna covers are just as great.

This one of Zee and Doctor Strange would make for a great story, or adventure!

I personally think she could take him.

And one of my favorites,

Zee always seem to have the upper hand in these.  As it should be!

Great job.  Looking forward to more.

30 Day D&D Challenge, Day 7: Favorite Edition

Day 7: Favorite Edition

How does one choose this?
I really have enjoyed all editions of D&D.  Basic was my first, Advanced my most played, 3rd the most flexible in terms of how to play...

I guess in the end I will say AD&D 1.  I played it the most, I have some great old and new memories of just having a blast.  And it is still one that ignites those fires of imagination in me.

Wikipedia is irritating me

Well.  Not Wikipedia, but some of the deletionists.
Now they want to delete the article on Tharizdun, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tharizdun

So. Anyone know of some good 3rd party (not TSR or WotC) references?
I have a stack of magazines to go through, but I am running on fumes now.
Could use some help on Night Hag as well.

30 Day D&D Challenge, Day 6: Favorite Deity

Day 6: Favorite Deity

Tough one really.  As a kid I loved Hecate for obvious reasons. Her picture in the Deities & Demigods did nothing to dissuade me from my opinion either.

But it was Dragon #88 and Len Lakofka's Gods of the Suel Empire that introduced me to Wee Jas.
First I love that "Wee Jas" was a play on Ouija.  She was like Hecate, only more D&D.  I was a then (And still am to some degree) a fan of the Suel.  They nuked themselves out of existance, but very soon in our games "Suel" became our Shang-ri-la.
I liked Wee Jas because she was a witch goddess and a goddess of magic.  She was also a lawful goddess that hated demons and chaotic undead.  Since I also liked to play wizards and  Lawful Good clerics and paladins that hated undead and demons, she was the perfect intersection of all my interests.

Typically when I use her now she is a cross between Hecate and a little bit of Cardea.
 

And this is happening...

New cover for Eldritch Witchery.  Due out next month!

Eldritch Witchery is due out for Spellcraft & Swordplay.
