[Pelinore.org] About The Canon Material

[Havard]

Canon Material

No fan material based on Pelinore would be complete without being solidly founded in the material that has come before. Indeed, our founder and administrator, Kneverwinterknight sunk many hours of an evening, accompanied by a chorus of cries of attention from his children and the incessant tutting of his wife, to produce maps in Campaign Cartographer 3 of Cerwyn and the Domains. When he revealed these to the gaming public, almost one year ago to this day, he was greeted with complaints that it would be nice to see the original material so that you, the gaming public, can draw your own conclusions about this slightly obscure game world. However, it wouldn't be legal for us to reproduce the pages of Imagine or GMPubs on this website, so in this section you will find a listing of the publications with Pelinore content and a review of the articles to be found therein.

The original publications can still be found if you know where to look. Kneverwinterknight recently bought GM1 to GM5 for the princely sum of 70 of your British Pounds. Luckily, the conversion rate to the Danish Krone was quite favourable at the time. Didn't stop his wife calling him a lunatic, though.

But, before you spend time and money hunting these down (as we did, may our wives someday forget it), peruse the articles in this section to find out: what exactly is all the fuss about? This is a public service brought to you by PELINOREREVIVED!

Great expansion to this article PelinoreRevived! Thank you for sharing it.

I will upload a separate Imagine Page later on.

I like your suggestions for adaptation of the early issues of Imagine to Pelinore. It just makes sense to use that material to expand the setting

Thanks! That's great!

Imagine 12
The Tomb of Kings: this solo adventure, for Basic D&D or Tunnels and Trolls, makes reference to the fallen Empire of Almete. With some adaptation, it could be a source of material for an adventure anywhere in the Domains.

I'm still reading this list of articles, but I've decided to cast the new topic spell on the Empire of Almete, because people keep mentioning it, but not talking about it properly.
