    RPG Vault have posted the third part of their Greyhawk: The Temple of Elemental Evil developer journals, written by project leader Tim Cain from Troika Games.

    Party alignment is a new alignment restriction that we have created at the level of the character party. When you start a new game in ToEE, you must select a party alignment, which is one of the same nine alignments you choose for character alignment. Your selection of party alignment will restrict what alignments of characters you can add to your party. You can only pick character alignments that are at most one step (vertical or horizontal, but not diagonal, on the alignment axes) away from the party alignment.

    Early in the development of ToEE, we felt the need to control which character alignments were allowed in a particular group. We were creating test parties consisting of lawful monks and chaotic barbarians, or paladins and evil sorcerers, and this felt wrong. In a paper and pencil session of D&D, the DM might disallow such pairings (certainly the pairing of paladins with any evil characters) or at least point out the unlikelihood and difficulties of that such a group would face. And certainly, such pairing would lead to bickering and intra-party strife.

    Get everything here.
