Wow. That's an impressive list.

I'd like to know what you know about the following, and their Greyhawk content, if any:

1986 G1-4 Revolt of the Giants (unpublished)
1999 Emissaries (2e Adventurer's Guild module)
2009 Revenge of the Giants (4e homage)
R.C. Pinnell modules (are they available? are they Greyhawk?)
other 4e conversions (are they explicitly Greyhawk?)
2016 GC2 Plan B (Luke Gygax tournament module with familiar themes and a twist)
2017 Aerie of the Cloud Giant Strategos (alternative to D1-3 & Q1)


My understanding is that Storm Giant's Thunder isn't Greyhawk-related in any way. Is that correct?

I love Huso's stuff, but Geir Loe Cyn-Crul is set in his own world, right?

Thanks! Yes, I suppose this list is more "spinoffs and homages" than sequels.

What little is known about Revolt turns up on Google.

Emissaries is a ten-page companion module to Liberation of Geoff (plus six pages of pregens) and officially Greyhawk.

As much as I dislike 4e, I like Revenge of the Giants and used parts of it in my swords of Corusk campaign. It's set in Nentir Vale, but loosely follows the classic Greyhawk giants plot. Plenty of encounter ideas to cannibalize. The Frozen Sea plays well with Greyhawk's Icy Sea and I'd recommend the module for anyone looking to add some giant action on the eastern Flanaess map.

The Pinnell modules are absolutely Greyhawk and one even contains a little map of the Jotens. His DF forum name is Thorkhammer. A thread on Dragonsfoot collects links to many of his works. A few are still available free on Lulu and occasionally old POD's turn up on the secondary market.

Plan B is set in Luke's World of Okkorim, but contains some nods and winks to his father's modules and the second half is set in a fire giant stronghold.

Strategos is setting generic, but explicitly described as an alternate ending to G1-3.

Correct on Storm Kings Thunder.

Correct on Huso's module. Written in the eighties and playing on the classic giant/drow relations, you can tell what was on his mind. I'll definitely tie it into the G series someday, as it provides a related quest while providing some relief from giant bashing.

As for the 4e conversions in Dungeon Mag, Greyhawk is not mentioned by name, but the Crystalmist Mountains and characters like Obmi still are.

Thanks for putting this list together, Cody! It's quite comprehensive :D

Do you have a similar list for D1-3 and Q1 too?

Some quick comments on a few items:

2013? S10 Rescue on the Jotens (R.C. Pinnell linking A1-4 to G1-3)


I wasn't aware that Thork's modules were so solidly set in Greyhawk, thanks. I imagine that they'll be difficult to track down these days, but I'll do some digging on DF and see what I can find.

This is from XRP and available on Lulu still: https://www.lulu.com/shop/joseph-browning/advanced-adventures-36-aerie-of-the-cloud-giant-strategos-print-version/paperback/product-1p7yq8py.html?page=1&pageSize=4

It was OK, not as cool as it could have been.

Paul ran these at GaryCon in 2021 as his Legends of Roleplaying tournament, and I've edited at least the first one or two of them (if not all, it's been awhile...). So I think they will be published at some point.

Thanks Cody! :D

Thanks for posting

Great post!

This is a very thorough list and is itself a tribute to all those fan made, professional and semi-pro additions to the great gaming adventure.

Thanks!
