AD&D Deities: Modrons

Modrons are worshipped in some games, but in others they take the attitude of devas, planetars, and solars--that it would be inappropriate for them, not being gods, to accept worship. In games in which the worship of Modrons is permitted, Primus is almost exclusively the chosen object.

Primus is the absolute ruler of Nirvana; all modrons and all other creatures native to that plane are ultimately responsible to him. This generally does not extend to other lawful neutral deities on that plane; referees differ as to whether Primus is the head of a heirarchy of angelic-type spirit beings who serve the gods under his direction, or whether he himself is treated as a god. In any case, he rules the modrons, and is attended by an honor guard of immediate servants at all times. (The details of this honor guard and those of other high-ranking modrons are given on a page on my D&D site, Modron Military Escort Units in the Dungeon Master's Reference Materials.) Another point about Primus: if he's killed, one of the Secundi becomes him. His worshippers include lawfuls of all moral alignments.

M. J. Young's Dungeons & Dragons Materials
Collection of such pages as the much-praised Alignment Quiz, What is an RPG? (excerpted from Multiverser), the highly valued Confessions of a Dungeons & Dragons™ Addict, along with special rules and player aids in both written and computer formats, this site was highly praised by RAWS, linked by Gary Gygax, and is worth a look even if you don't like what you found here.

The best new role playing game....

The Multiverser Information Center
The complexity of creating a D&D character always reminds me of how much simpler it is to play Multiverser®, the game which incorporates all other games, all other worlds, everything imaginable, with nothing else to buy.

A consideration of time travel....

Temporal Anomalies in Popular Movies
There are enough time travel films out there now that most of the things which could go wrong in time have been shown on the silver screen. This page applies a new conception of how time works (discussed in the Multiverser® game system to help referees sort out game scenarios in which player characters travel in time) to unraveling the most popular of such movies. An Event Horizon Hot Spot and Sci Fi Weekly Site of the Week which has won the author national recognition as an authority on time travel in fiction.
