First piece of the backstory and history for the Middleford PbP has been posted here (at mortality.net). Three interested players so far, but we're looking for more.

Hello. Just coming back to the site after a long time and read over this project. It is definitely an area of Greyhawk that always interested me, such that I wrote [url=http://www.canonfire.com/cf/mod ...

Sadly, I believe this was the one of the few Greyhawk products that was never scanned and converted to PDF. I lost my copy years ago to a flood and have been clamouring to replace it since. Sad

Thanks Nightscreed, normally such a volume of information would require a trip to the library. Exclamation

I can only nod and agree to most of your comments. Public libraries would be, for the most part, ...

The Darlene map gives an area about 25% less, but still encompasses a fairly large area. The LGG map shows more areas to the North and West that the Darlene map cuts off. (quite a bit of it water). ...

(the entire map of the flanaess in the LGG including the water areas covers 48*56 hexes or 11,356,800 square miles--eyeballing it I would say that about 40-45% of the map is water, giving us about 7 ...

There was an article kicking around for some time, authored by Nitescreed, that very effectively defined criteria that made Greyhawk...Greyhawk. Many here may have read it and know more about the arti ...

I wonder, has anyone seen or heard of a CoG set in PDF format? Did WoTC never get around to scanning it? Has anyone appealed to them to do so?

You could try the Living Greyhawk region site for Geoff here. I didn't see any maps of Gorna on it but it has some areas of the region quite well developed.

I'm going to chime in with a 'thumbs down' on weapon vs. armor-type modifiers. It really takes away from the pace of the game, especially in the example given with multiple armor types and multiple we ...

All of the campaigns I've run over many years of Greyhawk have happened pre-wars in a variety of locales. Starting locations I can remember off the top of my head:

1. Idee and Iron League- used som ...

I've taken two approaches to this. First I have replaced the more mundane magical weapons (+1,+2) with exceptional weapons. These are quality weapons with a fine edge or specially hardened that impart ...

There is a good interview with Gary Gygax on theonering.net. The first few questions touch on to what degree he was influenced by JRRT works.

Here's a list of pronunciations that I found someplace and have stored as a .txt file. Hope it doesn't open another can of wyrms [sic]:

Arquebus = AR-keh-bus (like "Masq ...

I have never seen anything official (or unofficial) on rank titles. I think your best bet would be to take the unit composition info from Ivid the Undying and base a rank structure on the different ty ...

Hey if Elminster is so great, how come nobody uses his spells in Greyhawk? Greyhawk mage spells permeate FR (Bigby, Mordenkainen, Tenser), but I can't recall any PC wizard in my Greyhawk campaign comi ...

I play primarily 2e, having evolved through becmiD&D and 1e. I have tried 3e, but prefer the pace and feel of 2e, so that's where I'll probably stay. 3e is fun, but to me it is too different from what ...

I never liked level level limits for single-class demihuman characters. I impose them for multi-class characters and this seems to work fine. For single-class demihumans, though, I allow them to advan ...

The 'gaming life' of a demi-human when adventuring with human characters is a very short span of their lives. If characters start out at low levels, you have to assume the demi-human is equally young ...

I've converted several GH modules for use in M.E.R.P (Middle Earth ROle Playing). The MERP system is very well detailed on the country-scale level, but needs alot of fleshing out on the smaller scale. ...

War Machine is a good system. And, surprisingly enough, the results play out close to results from Battlesystem...

I totally agree that Battlesystem isn't for everyone. It is less role-playing an ...

I have enjoyed playing Battlesystem since it was first released in '85. The group I was playing with experimented with some homebrew minature rules and Battlesystem was a godsend when it came out.

Just wondering what time periods people have campaigns running in for Greyhawk. I have always played pre-wars - CY576 to about CY580, because that is what I've known best. In the most memorable camp ...

Not quite, I was talking about the City of Greyhawk Boxed Set (TSR#1043). If you look at the Bastion Press site, which did all of the scanning for WotC you can see on their ESD Master schedule (PDF f ...
