Boy, have we grown old! Smile

I have not run Greyhawk-related games since 2010, maybe. Still so, I return here because the forum is so much fun to read. Not, like, in the way other fora ...

All of these would be fine choices. Here are a couple I'd add:

Another vote for Rauxes, here. - Perhaps not the obvious choice, but a detailed "year 600" version of the place could make for a pretty unique setting. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that "Ivid ...

'Twas me. K, you might want to ask Cebrion to disable guest posting on your board. Right now, the game is young, but, over time, such things can be a risk. Smile

Cool, thanks! Smile

Will reply later today. Smile

Hey, folks!

Need another player? - I just stumbled over the game, and I think I'd be happy to join in, or lurk. Smile

Hey, guys!

Since I recently received a PM on this project, perhaps not a bad time to tell you what became of it, ten years later. Smile

Well, I finished it, and I have some 40+ pages of notes ...

Sweet list, man, thanks! Smile

The upcoming adventure by Sasquatch Studios looks like bastardized ToEE. This is what I was referring to:

Aaah, so awesome! Happy

Yes! That one it is! Thank you very much! :)

Sorry for the heavy editing, my Greyhawkian is rusty. :)

Thank you,

BFRPG might well be what I'll be going for. :)

Also, RAAAAAAAAAAAAH. Donald, of course. It's 0637 over here. Not fresh, my brain, yet.

I have a wargaming book by David Featherstone floating around, from, I think, 1975.

I think I'll build a campaign around one or two of those historical maps. Smile

Wow, thanks for the input, guys. It's a bit early for me to say how I'll apply some of this... But I will. :)

I think those are indeed the ones I was looking for! Thank you... And while I am on it, merry Christmas! :)

Thank you! ...I dimly recall it was in some sort of freeby, even, from the old TSR/Wizbro site.

Could that be the Cauldron, perhaps?

I think they were located either on the Eastern coast of the Aerdy,

This is just so awesome! Thanks for sharing this, Dave! Happy

Outside from any jokes, has this been done? Smile

Nom nom.

PM sent.

Cool, many thanks, Rasgon! In the meantime, I have started working on something on my own - let's see if I can present it to you over the weekend! Smile

Yeah, that one might do the trick! Smile

Thank you!

But, really, aren't there at least B&W maps from the Flanaess?

That might be another way to get there... Smile

On second thought... Isn't there something out there that is a bit more printer-friendly?

Like, I think I saw a black & white map somewhere, many, many years ago...

Wow, what an awesome collection! Happy

Thanks, Ceb! Smile

I think it's a wordplay on "wiccan", actually.

The name "wokan" is a surname from Germany, but apparently it derrives from an old word for "racketeer". So, it doesn't seem to make much sense.
