One of the most memorable and long-lasting characters in my campaigns was a Lawful Evil fighter surrounded by do-gooders. As long as there was a goal needing to be accomplished that affected his inter ...

I agree with Blue.

Diversions during TOEE are something of a Godsend when running the megamodule. Mini-adventures from various sources such as the aforementioned box set, the Book of Lairs, and Dun ...

As a subclass of the cavalier, paladins gain 1d12 each level after the first. From -2 to 1st level, the paladin starts as a 1d4+1 and finishes at 1st level at 3d4+1 and progresses normally thereafter. ...

WOTC has done such a terrible job of making money off of their archive of intellectual properties that I'm beyond shocked they're reissuing the 1st Edition books.

Has anyone bothered to notice how ...

I don't care so much about owning the Living Greyhawk modules, but I would like to find some sort of summaries for each region's status at the close of the Living Greyhawk era.

Holy Smokes! Greyhawkgrognard, that's a thing of beauty. To wander back in here after being gone for so long and to see what you've done is awe-inspiring.

The WG-series, from WG-7 onward, were horrible. Each and every release was utter crap, and I ran or played through every single one of them. Oddly enough, some of those adventures brought about recurr ...

Maybe they need characters that are a bit less... individual? Try a one-shot advanture with them playing characters from the same town, tasked with defending the town, recovering the lost macguffing, ...

Hmm... I wonder if I've seen them all? There must be a website out there somewhere with an exhaustive list of these pretties. We're a geek hobby, and every geek hobby has a site with this sort of list ...

Sarken Mercenaries

whats that? a book?http://i7.ebayimg.com/02/i/001/29/39/a596_1.JPG, from the old LJN toy collection. I've known several DMs, and am one myself, who were compelled to create a n ...

Given that TSR... excuse me... T$R... went bankrupt in 1997, it's no surprise that you aren't encountering AD&D 2.0 material in the local hobby and comic shops. As was mentioned, you'll have bette ...

In A3, only five of the Slavelords will be encountered, consisting of: Ajakstu, Nerelas, Feetla, Brother Milerjoi, and Mordrammu. Brother Kerin's name is dropped, but makes no appearance.

In A4, th ...

(This is too long. It's probably boring. It's not steeped in canon or I'd have put it in the 1st Ed. forum, despite that being the system I played the most. It's based on events in my campaign around ...

*nods in sympathy, yet offers no comment due to previously being torched*

Galliskinmaufrius,

First, I'd like to say that you used my all-time favorite RPG map for your comparison. I spent way too much time learning about ancient civilizations for my own Oerth by wonderin ...

Have a very merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

For those of you who do not celebrate Christmas, Have a very merry Thursday and a happy paid vacation day.

Hmmm, I've never heard either of those before, Fenreer: do you recall where you heard that before?

I know for certain that our beloved Col_Pladoh himself said that Emirikol was NOT Dave Trampier's ...

Greyhawk's "Joe the Plumber" has a pretty high likelihood of being an illiterate farmer destined to become a statistic in some DM's flavor text. He might not be completely sure who his own head of sta ...

A week before Christmas and Columbus Day is still a touchy subject around here?

The 465 CY event involving Volte is listed on the GreyChrondex (on this very site) as coming from Rary the Traitor, pg. 23, which unfortunately I don't have to verify...

Kwint

I'm on it.

Ok.. ...

Hextor and Heironeous. No Oeridian worth his salt would refrain from comparing people and events in his life to the tales of Hextor and Heironeous. They're Greyhawk's "Goofus and Gallant", for cryin' ...

606 CY

I have decided to avoid throwing shoes at the guys who played out Iuz's invasion of Furyondy despite agreeing that Greyhawk would remain frozen until the others (and myself) got back for win ...

I was considering downloading a... er... I was looking at a list. On that list were a few TSR products that I'd forgotten about.

Jakandor: Island of War
Jakandor: Land of Legend
Jakandor: Isle of ...

It does seem like Gygax was either trying to set up a war across the Flanaess. I've felt that this was the case for a long while, though the more I looked into pushing one into play, the more it looke ...

605 CY
You Never Know When You Will Refer Back To Your Notes

We started the wars in 605 CY, because that's about where we figured we were if we used 576 CY as the start of our playing in Greyhawk. ...

This is what it said on the back of the box:

From the mad Malachite throne in Rauxes to the bejeweled city of Chendl in Furyondy, the Flanaess is at war! In the east, Overking Ivid V thirsts for co ...

Emirikol the Chaotic is said to have been one of Dave Trampier's PCs. He is also said to have not been one of Dave Trampier's PCs but rather a NPC that killed one of Dave Trampier's PCs.

I love the ...

what about Pelor?

Officially, PAY-lor. Rhymes with day-door or fey-lore or claymore.

I usually say Pee-lor.

Ditto.

Here's a game for those of you who go to conventions:

I'll never forget the exploding skulls and impotent rage that map caused. Happy

Mr. Gygax (can't bring myself to call him "Gary" or "Gygax") dismissed the map in one of his Q&A sessions, so ...

What's a Raven Queen?

Thanks for the warm welcome, and feel free to steal the avatar, as I stole it myself from one of the Games Workshop fan forums a long while back.

So far, I've managed to avoid accidental threadoman ...

I'm just an old-timer trying to spark his memory of Greyhawk to write up the close of the campaigns of my youth. I made a promise that I'd document the rise and fall of our campaigns (including those ...
