The WoW RPG is a tabletop roleplaying, also called a pen-and-paper roleplaying game. Imagine you and a bunch of your friends, sitting around a table, eating pizza, drinking sodas, and inventing stories set in the Warcraft world. That's what the WoW RPG is all about. Each player creates a character that represents his alter ego on Azeroth, much like in the World of Warcraft computer game, except for one player: the Game Master. The Game Master controls everything except the other players' characters.

Unlike the World of Warcraft computer game, in the WoW RPG there are no limits to the feats you can accomplish, the maneuvers you can attempt, and the lands you can explore. That is the power of tabletop roleplaying games: if you can imagine it, you can create it. And the imagination is a more powerful video card than anything nVidia can create.

To play World of Warcraft: The Roleplaying Game, one player in your group needs the WoW RPG core book. That's it. The WoW RPG book is a complete game, containing everything you need to create epic characters and forge your own legends in the Warcraft world. The other books provide additional options: more character types to play, more loot to discover, more foes to overcome, and more lands to explore.

Welcome to World of Warcraft: The Roleplaying Game! Azeroth will never be the same.

Where is Deathwing at, or is he still alive?

Deathwing's current location has been the subject of much speculation. No one is certain where he has gone..

I have a question concerning the dragonflights. I know that the titans appointed leaders of all the dragonflights, such as Malygos(blue), Alexstraza(red) and others, its said in lore that these were protectors of life. If the titans are in-fact "good guys", if they appointed leaders of the dragonflights, shouldn't those leaders as well as their dragonkin be "good" also? I can understand why Deathwing and the Black Dragonflight would be hostile, since Deathwing was corrupted by the old gods, but I still don't understand why we have to kill Maylgos in the next expansion, or why all the red, blue, and green dragonkin are hostile towards players.

In short, why are all the dragonflights hostile towards players?

Another thing that came to mind... Are the titans even fond of us? When you mentioned them in other posts, you said they were "holy" and other things like that, so I only assumed they would be friendly towards us, since they did create the earthen (dwarves) Thus, the above question. But if they are infact hostile towards us, then the above question would be answered along with this one! ^_^.

The dragonflights themselves are not hostile toward players- rather, some dragons are. Just as not all humans align themselves with the same religions, ect, some dragons remain outside the flight itself.

At least this was once true. Malygos and his Blue Dragonflight are hostile.

.....the Blue Aspect's sanity is returning to him. Malygos, with clearer eyes, takes note of the large number of mortal spellcasters running around Azeroth, recklessly using arcane magic, and worries they may bring the Burning Legion to Azeroth in force again, as the Highborne once did (one of his last few memories before going mad). Thus he proceeds to declare war on all magic users. Dalaran travels to Northrend to combat the Blue Flight, and the Red Dragonflight - keeping Alexstrasza's promise to Rhonin after the events of Day of the Dragon - has stepped up to defend the mortals from their cousins' crusade against spellcasters.

That is a hard question to answer. Very little is known about the titans save for scraps the dwarves have unearthed and some vague night elf folklore. But I suppose one could say they are friendly- in the sense that they left the mortal races guardians to guide them toward a brighter future.

IE- Is the Christian God friendly? The Norse Gods? I'd say they tended to be more aloof than anything else; letting the mortal races guide their own future.

[ruzai]

Your quote mentions that Dalaran went to Northrend to fight the BLue and Red dragonflights, does this mean Alextrasza and the rest of the Red dragonflight is also hostile? Because in Blackwing Lair, Valestras would have been friendly to players had it not been for Nefarian corrupting him.

Actually, Nevermind, I read that quote entirely wrong. I see that its saying Alextrasza is protecting us (players) from Maylgos and his Blue Dragonflight.

Why is the "Dragonic" language implemented in the game? It's not like any of use would be able to understand it

I think you mean Draconic and like Eredun just because none of us can understand it doesnt mean they aren't spoken. It seems quite obvious every race should have their own language, Dragons and Demons aswell.

Need zhe more lore on Pandaren and Tuskarr if you may
Unless you already posted about it and I missed it ofcourse

Need zhe more lore on Pandaren

The enigmatic pandaren are one of the most elusive races of Azeroth. Pandaren come from the Pandaren Empire of Pandaria. They are humanoid pandas with a great love of nature and strong ales.

Hailing from their own secret empire, the pandaren are a race of humanoids resembling panda bears. This appearance leads some to underestimate these noble creatures, thinking them harmless and "cute." They may be cute, but they are not harmless. Pandaren have a long tradition of mystic warfare and are exceedingly strong and agile. The traditional pandaren fighting style focuses upon mobility, speed and precision, as well as stunning acrobatic tricks. Many pandaren are skilled at fighting bare-handed.

Only the pandaren know the intricacies of their society, but alcohol is a central feature. All pandaren are connoisseurs of ale and stronger drink, leading to a unique kinship with Ironforge dwarves. A caste of wandering pandaren warriors called Brewmasters is highly respected in their culture. A few Brewmasters have been spotted in Kalimdor, searching for new beverages to sample and ingredients to add to their own brews. Pandaren are affable and noble, trained in battle but always seeking peace. Pandaren philosophy centers on a harmony of opposites — male and female, calm and chaos, existence and non-existence. Pandaren feel a strong link to the natural world and seek to maintain a peace between all races and nature.A&HC 21 Very few pandaren ever leave their hidden island homeland of Pandaria, although there is a pandaren settlement within the Stonetalon Mountains, but those that do have proved themselves to be strong warriors specializing in Drunken Brawling with great command of the elements.

The most famous of these warriors is Chen Stormstout, who assisted the half-orc Rexxar and the Horde after the fall of the Burning Legion. No one knows what became of him afterwards, but several of his empty kegs have been found scattered around the Barrens.

Though Chen assisted Rexxar, they do not seem to be specifically affiliated with either the Horde or the Alliance.

Even unaligned races such as pandaren live defined by the conflicts among and around them. In a world constantly on the brink of war, the need for peacemakers is as great as the need for warriors

Many of Azeroth's denizens do not owe fealty to the Alliance or Horde. Some races, such as pandaren, are independent.

and Tuskarr if you may

The tuskarr are a kind-natured nomadic race that roams the southern coastlines of Northrend, guided by the carved cyclopean statues that mark their seasonal fishing routes. The tuskarr's tribal affiliation is evidenced by the sigils inscribed on their tusks, and although they are a peaceful race, they are constantly beset by taunka and local murlocs.

Yet even their enemies marvel at the tuskarr's prowess and fearlessness in catching some of the most dangerous creatures in Northrend's frigid waters, including whales and giant squid. Not even the unnamed leviathans that lurk in the ocean's depths are beyond the tuskarr's reach.

The tuskarr have seen their share of difficult times, but with the Horde's recent arrival they have found a new ally in the ongoing struggle against the hostile forces of Northrend.

Medivh is dead mate.

O RLY........................
He can ressurect himself mate, you should know that.

[l8flip]

O RLY........................
He can ressurect himself mate, you should know that.

No he can't.
Period.
His spirit came back and guided Thrall and Proudmoore through the events on the third war, but that's about it. He only appeared in their dreams afaik.
There is noone who can ressurrect themselves as far as we know, save for phoenixes who have it as a racial ability to live twice.
If anyone could ressurrect themselves why not just take on the entire burning legion and throw in a selfress once in a while.
There might also be a few boss fights where bosses through using magic items are allowed to be given a second chance when they appear beaten, but the way I see it there's a substantial difference between that and beeing to resurrect yourself.
