I don't have a copy to hand, but I'm 90% sure they first appear in the Timeline in the original CSIO. I think in some instances they're referred to as "Markrabs," which is why I connected them to the Crabmen in my Wilderlands.Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00155926145150934199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5831219200072513986.post-23512385373037967572011-08-30T23:52:21.366-04:002011-08-30T23:52:21.366-04:00aliens common to the cosmology of the...

Demons in the 3.5 version are strongly hinted to be experimental creations of the Markabs, but otherwise they're pretty science-fantasy.Mirandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10745062840676790649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5831219200072513986.post-54400531131172895552011-08-29T15:33:15.099-04:002011-08-29T15:33:15.099-04:00I was a Wilderlands DM back in the late '70s a...I was a Wilderlands DM back in the late '70s and always loved it. <br /><br />Can you give me more info on the MarKabs?Keith418https://www.blogger.com/profile/01415688172194231214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5831219200072513986.post-69757869332871695442011-03-28T12:48:41.886-04:002011-03-28T12:48:41.886-04:00Glad you had so much fun with it.

I discovered the Wilderlands around 2001-2002, and became enchanted with its approach and vision, even though it is a setting older than me. After running some campaigns with it, I have developed my own "inspired by" setting, which I am still using, but the WL remains one of the touchstones of my gaming. There is just a lot about it that works perfectly with D&Disms - as a game world, it both accommodates and builds on them.Melanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07165894144553629675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5831219200072513986.post-62823228723184906592011-03-24T22:37:21.668-04:002011-03-24T22:37:21.668-04:00The Wilderlands *sigh*.
