Hi All!

I'm looking for some back issues of Polyhedron #96, 98, 101, 103–8... To be more specific, I'm looking for the Turmish info in those issues... Anybody know where I could acquire such lovelies??... Or even better, scans of said pages, or even just copies of the text itself??...

Well met

I believe I have the same scrolls, El Magnifico Uno as I specifically recall the said Turmish articles (part of the Elminster's Everwinking Eye article, I believe?). Unless anyone can get these to ye sooner, i'll endeavor to dig them out later this week.

The info in Polyhedron was shown to some degree in the "Vilhon Reach" accessory by Jim Butler. Some of the realmslore didn't make it, but most of the location info did IIRC.

Try nobleknight.com. :)

For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet and excite you... Books are full of the things that you don't get in real life - wonderful, lyrical language, for instance, right off the bat. - Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

The entire series ran from issue #109 to issue #148. The Polyhedron issues with the Border Kingdom articles are 109–111, 115–121, 123–148.

Unfortunately though... the alphabetical detailing of the cities and kingdoms finished at "O".

Krash once told me that Ed, many years ago during the old TSR days, suggested that we might see a "Border Kingdoms" sourcebook which would collect and collate all the articles while adding a bit more stuff, done by some junior staffer/designer, about 6-12 months after the column had run its course. Unfortunately, this never came to pass...

Where those issues in Polyhedron magazine or where they in the back of issues of Dungeon?

The stand-alone issues had Ed's column. When it got integrated with DUNGEON, the column disappeared. No doubt the columns from O to Z are now mouldering in some filing cabinet or were on a PC that long-ago landed on a garbage heap, as much as it pains me to think that.

Yeah... They really should reprint or otherwise make that old lore available to us. I'm another who would love to get his hands on the old Polyhedrons.
