Excellent!

I was afraid of this. I thought if I made the clues too obscure or English-dependent, our international community may not get them. I think I erred in the opposite direction...

okay, for those who don't want to see other people's answers:

[spoiler midtext]14A = glad
17A = Ouse
20A = Gehn
1D = agog
2D = blue (have no idea what this means)
45A = Rwanda
43A = seed
37A = Exile
31D = Riven
39A = Haven
32D = upend
36A = tripe
46A = and

This is fun Pastor but there's a final game I haven't played yet so I'm stumped for those answers.

Caroline is correct on all but two. 20A is incomplete, and 45A is misspelled (note: "var" means "variant spelling"
. By the way, I haven't played that game either, so you should be able to solve everything, Caroline.

In future puzzles, I'll ask people to put clues in as spoiler text, and I'll record the correct ones as spoiler text in the first post.

Yes, it is one of them. Care to specify, you lycanthropic punk?

Pastor, once I started I couldn't stop. I'll only put a couple here but PM the rest to you directly so as not to spoil the fun for everyone else.

Nice puzzle. Must have been quite a lot of work to compile. How long did it take you?

Good job, Ivinia!

Since everyone's been so polite as to post answers in spoiler format, I changed the first post to put the given answers in as spoilers. So feel free to try to solve the ones that others have already done.
