Hiya!

A *bit* late, but still reasonable I think. :)

With regards to magic items...the 'bonuses' from them are vastly scaled down. Weapons and armour, for example, range from +1 to +3. There are ...

Hiya!

I agree 100%.

To us, Forgotten Realms always...and I mean ALWAYS ...made us fell like we were playing"fanboi wannabe's with no skill, potential, or worth". Don't get me wrong, we still had ...

Hiya!

First...welcome to Oerth! You're in for a helluva ride!

Second...Greyhawk is definitely humanocentric. There are a few areas where demi-humans or non-humans have sizable communities, but t ...

Hiya!

First...WOW! I had *no idea* it was that...borked! I've only have one player choose Find Familiar as a spell. I'll have to do a serious read of it...so far when we have encountered something ...

Hiya!

Excellent info guys. :) Thanks! I can definitely use it to, hopefully, my advantage in presenting Greyhawk to one, shall we say, "reserved" player who doesn't think Greyhawk has any 'flare' o ...

Hiya!

Sorry for the thread-raise...but figured I'd just make a quick comment. :)

I've always seen the 'pure' Oeridians as Celtic/Scottish sort of folk. For how they have their "nobility" I see i ...

Hiya!

Just started a new Greyhawk campaign (5e base, with 1e/HM attitude and expectations). I was curious if anyone has written up a list of "most favored" weapons and armor by country?

Every we ...

Hiya!

Skeletons: I've used all manner of variants of them...some tougher, some faster, some on fire, some that emanate a cloud of putrescence, etc. :)

Ogre: I don't know what it is about them. C ...

Hiya!

Thanks Denakhan and nice house rule.

You're welcome! Overall, 5e is being found to require very little "house rules". Very few games I DM get away "house rules free" (I can't really think ...

Hiya!

Yeah, the DMG has all the info you need. That said, here's my thoughts on it. :)

Any item with a + is pretty rare. Currently the best of the best (re: 'artifact' level stuff is +3.

...

Hiya.

Oh yeah, the Wand/Staff/Rod(?) thing. It's still taking us time to get used to. It still seemed kind of odd, the whole "recharge at dawn" kind of thing, so I added a house rule.

A Wand ...

Hiya!

May as well add in my 2 coppers as well. :)

I ran a 5e campaign for a few months and everyone at the table got along with the rules quite smashingly I must say. There were a few little h ...

Hiya.

Just a few...

*Healing No "poof it's morning so your arm grew back" 100% healing stuff. GH isn't that kind of setting. Characters will heal a number of HD equal to whatever they have left ...

Hiya.

I kept it in the FR, but I seriously considered putting it South-West of Highport along the Wild Coast. I would have changed the Goblins to be Kobolds too. I did briefly consider placing it ...

Hiya.

Just to semi-necro this.... ;)
What I plan on doing for my next 1e campaign, which will start this Sunday, is making training Optional. The PLAYER can decide if they want to train fo ...

Hiya

Not a TSR one, although IIRC the Kenzer folks did write such an adventure for Hackmaster (though I don't know which one).

Not a full-fledged adventure. In "The Little Keep on the Border ...

Hiya back at ya:

Has the increasing price changed your D&D spending habits at all?

Nope. I never spent much on (A)D&D stuff since....2nd edition? And even tha ...

Hiya.

Yeah, kinda nutty. However, my thoughts are that WotC 'blinders' are starting to slip with regards to 4e. I frequent about a half-dozen RPG forums...and one thing is blatantly obvious; peop ...

Hiya.

Does anyone know what happened to Valarie Valusek? She had one of the coolest art styles. I always liked her 'down to earth' type of character, equipment, etc. design, and her use of line t ...

Hiya.

I'm going to make this short. :)

For the purposes of jus cogens in Greyhawk I am asking what is considered fundamentally an evil act by the good and neutral powers (gods, celestials, e ...

Hiya

Now that I can type and see the monitor (too much cryin'), I honestly have no words for how sad I am. All I can say is, thanks Gary! Almost 30 years ago I started on this wild ride, and have ...

Hiya.

Honestly? I don't like my Greyhawk to have 'lotsa stats'. To me, the most perfect 'stats' are defined by the list of rulers in the old 1e boxed set, Glossography, page 17 "Rulers of Greyhawk ...

Hiya.

As posted...

One of the suggestions in the 4th Edition Dungeon Master's Guide is to give players a visual, tactile representation of a quest as soon as they begin it. At the start of the ...

Hiya.

Just an FYI...waaaaaay back in the days of 1e, there was a Dragon magazine article that had a "group saves" system. I can't remember the Dragon mag number, but it was somewhere after 100, bu ...

Best paladin pic I've ever seen:

(I used him for one of my characters, "Pholtius, Protector of the Faith"; a 1e half-elf paladin/ ...

Hiya.

For me, it's gotta be:

--I3 to I5 (?) The Desert series (Lost Tomb of Martek in particular)
--L2: The Secret of Bone Hill
--T1: The Village of Homlet
--A1 to A4: Slavers modules.

Hiya.

Well, as long as we are doing some "wishful thinking"...

I'd like to see two LGG's: One would be "Classic Greyhawk" where the wars DON'T happen, and one be "Greyhawk Wars" where the w ...

Hiya.

I'm just curious if discussing Hackmaster related stuff would fall more into the new 1e AD&D forum than any other. I think it most definitly would, HM being primarily an 'updated' 1e st ...

Warning: SPOILERS for G series

For some reason, the one that always sticks in my mind is from G1, Steading of the Hill Giant Chief. In the entry hall, there is a magic sword (don't remember if it ...

Very negative.

[Mr.Horse]Hmmm....huuuuh...mmmm.... No sir. I don't like it![/Mr.Horse]

I don't want to get all ranty, so lets just leave it at this: "I don't like the way the rules are and I ...

Hiya.

Uh, well, seeing as I don't want to get yelled at, I'll just say that 3.5e is "not my thing".

What I'd do first, is sit down with your players. Hand them each a level 5 character. No ...

Hiya.

I, personally, would 'allow' magic flying/moving vehicles. However, they would be more of a curiosity and an expensive foible of the very wealthy countries. The easiest way to 'contain' th ...

Hiya.

Glad I caught this thread! I've just started a new Greyhawk campaign (having last DM'ed one years and years ago), using Hackmaster/1e as a rules set. They players have been poking their 1st ...

Hiya.

I'd go with the Yeomanry. It's pretty much 'surrounded' except for a little 50-75 mile wide area to the east (mountains to the NE, N, W, S, SE; plus a swamp to the S, SE just over the mout ...

Hiya.

So did the GDQ series become non-canon when Liberation of Geoff was published?

Actually, I would go the other rout...GDQ is canon, and LoG is "wrong". I would take the info in LoG and ...

Hiya.

For me, I like to think of dwur as having both. The "above ground" buildings would be very solid, squat and "square/angular". This is where all the "commoner dwarves" would live/work. There ...

Hiya.

I have to ask: is this guy a "long time player", or is he a "new guy from another game"? If it is the later, that may be the problem. Maybe he is used to a game where AC 27, and +12 to hit ...

Hiya.

In all honesty, it's probably best if you don't convert stuff. The two systems are similar in name only, and a handful of terms (terms that do not equate over, btw). Very hard, and usually ...

Hiya.

I'd say that an animal would still be affected (potentially) by an illusion, regardless of what it "sees". However, just how the animal percieves it, and then reacts, is what would be diffe ...

Ahhhh...refreshing. :) Refreshing to see that the majority of folks here started in the very early 80's (me, 1980; the folio edition).

Kinda makes me feel all warm and fuzzy! Happy

Hiya.

I use a bit of a "story based" level limit for, basically, all my "D&D'ish based games" (re: 1e, 2e, 3e, HackMaster, RoleMaster, Palladium, etc.)

I call it the "Tier Level Limits" or "Mo ...
