I can't read the articles while at work, but here are some thoughts.

Hopefully this helps. Turlo Lomon (talk) 08:59, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, just remembered another interesting tidbit. There is a kender character in the Spelljammer series of novels as well. Should be added under the novel section. Turlo Lomon (talk) 10:37, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • I wouldn't expect to get many references out of the Kencyclopedia - it only had the usual suspects, and most wasn't sourced at all. The Dragonlance Nexus one is good, except that it doesn't mention any references (just "various" which isn't really enough). The RPG Consortium link is excellent, though, and it would be really useful. Is that article sufficiently reliable? If so, I'm happy. :) - Bilby (talk) 13:06, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • I went to RPGC sceptically, and am actually pleasantly suprised. I'm not certain that their articles would count as WP:RS, but it's not a definite no. It's not really self-published, there seems to be firm (if volunteer-based) editorial control, and so on. Forums are no good, of course, but the articles should be acceptable. The nature of the industry means that there haven't been many truly reputable third-party reviewers and so on for some time, especially dead-tree ones. SamBC(talk) 13:19, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
