Thanks Sir Xaris, I do have that Dungeon as a pdf so I will look at that as well.

Thanks Smillan that was exactly what I was looking for.

Thanks Cebrion, I will look up that adventure and use it as a resource as well.

I appreciate everyones reponse, it was a great help.

I would like to ask for a little help.

I was doing some research several months ago for my high level campaign and I seem to remember reading about a dwarven stronghold that was located in the Lo ...

Interesting take Rasgon, I think that you would have to add a date to the European/Asian nations in order to clarify.

I'm in northwest Indiana

Very nice

Okay, I guess the next order of business is to see if anyone is willing to DM an online game of one of their submissions.

Anyone?

Sorry, probably wasn't clear.

I would like to see some online gaming to include those outside the US and then an annual get together for some gaming.

Right now there are 19 people interested in attending and annual event and several people have mentioned an online event.

I am willing to start organizing something but I have never done somethin ...

Way to go MToscan, I really like your ambition.

Absolutely smillan, this can be as complex or simple as we all want it to be. We can cover years or areas with simple notes or indepth day by day accounts with individual names.

Aeolius - that is exactly what I am talking about, thanks. That is a great idea and one that I would be interested in gaming. I personally, as a DM, have never thought of creating an adventure like ...

Just some ideas:

- Have online game sessions that play out some of the excellent submissions that we see. They would include some of the short stories, adventures, ideas or anything else submitted ...

rossik, JohnD, GreyMouser, MToscan, Donkas - Great, that is why I suggested an online part

Jyg - that is exactly what I meant, I am not a computer genius, just a user. I would propose that we use ...

Is gaming involved Bubbagump? Like role playing and roll playing? Unfortunately, I have not participated in a thursday nite chat.

Several of us have been discussing a potential annual Canonfire gathering. I have put forth that I have seen some excellent submissions here at Canonfire and would like to see them play out and perha ...

I agree with that vonbek, but I also think that either an online or annual meeting could possible include more people.

I will start a new thread and see what people think.

I'd would be willing to help, don't know what I could do but someone is always needed to order the pizza and I have mad pizza ordering skills...

No seriously, I see alot of people submitting some r ...

I think we all have had incidents that are similiar, but I have to say that yours was pretty bad.

This just made me think, does Canonfire host a get together for a one shot gaming session or anyt ...

Have to agree with Donkas on that one, if the DM sets the way stats are to be rolled and you roll the dice in front of the DM, those are your stats. Another early warning sign was the fact that he wa ...

Great idea John D. I've been gaming for over 30 years and have never encountered that method before. We usually make the newb watch for a game or two and if he/she can tolerate us and us her/him we ...

Should start a thread titled worst groups ever gamed with...

I have encountered similiar groups in my time, so you are not alone. Just mark it up as a lesson learned and remember it when you join another group or start your own. Don't treat others the way you ...

Excellent! And thanks.

Should the Lanthorn be included? It is an artifact and it is found with the book? Or perhaps the cage?

Acid Arrow - I agree that there are other spells that create wall types but as Cebrion pointed out those walls can be dispelled. The foundation would be required as one of the spell components for th ...

I agree Grodog, I think that is why I "read" into the spell and went with the idea of creating structures from "dust". I just wanted to place some limitations on the spell by making a relationship be ...

I would have to say Glassteel would be a much more powerful spell. You are giving glass charateristics that it does not normally have and making the effects permanent. The limitation is the amount t ...

Duh sorry, reread the post and realized that JHSII was not trying to have the spell create something from nothing but rather mend/ repair something that is already present.

That is kinda what I was getting at with the "dust". If a building falls out of use and falls into disrepair, it is common for the locals to "pilfer" building materials. It was a common occurance in ...

Point taken Mystic -Scholar, but we have all seen the ruins of ancient Greece or Egypt where there is nothing left except the foundations. Should a spell caster come along and in a few hours restore ...

I like the spell but can I add another component? What about age? Should age be a factor? Or is the spell going to allow a spellcaster the ability to raise ancient building out of the dust? Just a ...

I don't think you could get in trouble for listing the store name, phone number, location and open game nite. I would think of it as sort of free advertising, unless your bashing the store. So unles ...

Thanks Theocrat Issak for your time and effort!

So are you asking if self-haters play AD&D?

Oh, and for Mystic-Scholar, he is human.

Lord Percard a 17th level illusionist turned shadow mage that I started at the age of 9 and played for many, many years. He now resides in the City of Greyhawk area as an information/ adventure sourc ...

Okay, so now that you have my intense interest, how do I get a copy? As I would very much appreciate one 8)

Excuse my ignorance, but what is the index for?

I believe that environment needs to be taken into account as well. By that I mean the environment in which someone is raised. Not too long ago,(in comparison to the age of man) people as young as 15 ...

Sounds like a good plan. I also like to listen to my players, it is amazing how they know my style and speculate on how and what is going on behind the scenes. I listen and generate ideas from their ...

I agree with you GreyMouser, but there is nothing wrong with having a long running plot line that the characters are constantly drawn into. I put out a dozen hooks and allow the players to choose whi ...

By the way, on your map, where would the mansion be from U1?

Great map, have a description list to go along with it?

Oh yeah, we have been gaming for decades so I also use ALOT of things from their past. NPCs, old player characters, etc.

I use just about anything I can get my hands on. I have used items from most of the others posts. My players do not like spell jammer or psionics so I do not use them. We use 2nd ed guidelines with ...

You stated that spell points are ruled out for the mage but then you are looking for a fatigue measure. Use the "spell" points and call them fatigue points.

Or am I missing something??

I use ...

Thanks Rasgon, I appreciate the input. It gives me a lot to consider and incorporate.

Maldin - I have already read your articles and I found them very informative. Thank you for your work.

Unfortunately, I believe that I am going to ignore the LG modules concerning the Isles.

I ...

Thanks for the restart

I found the info in OJ #6 under Wyrm of Woe. The story goes that a Wizard -Priest Yagrax sent a amethyst wyrm named Wanyrocthystus to the Abyss for the Codex of Infinite Pl ...

TheocratIssak - that was exactly my point and the reason I phrased it that way. I am unfamiliar with the LG stuff and I wasn't sure how it was presented during the playing of LG. I did not know if t ...

Yes, you are correct. Only the first one is suppose to be CORS the rest are suppose to be COR. Thanks, I appreciate that.

Anyone out there with the Living Greyhawk modules concerning the Isle of Woe? I believe that it was called the "Ether Threat Series", with
Isle of Woe CORS2-02
Echo CORS2-08
Escape from Tenh CORS2 ...

If you can get your hands on a City of Greyhawk boxed set, there are maps in it for the city including a map of the sewer complex. There is a section of the city where most of the temples are. I don ...

Anyone here have a copy of the LG modules? I am mainly interested in any maps that are out there.

thanks

Raymond stated -

In general, I'm thinking, "What would an evil party band together to get inside a good temple which has followers out in the open very unlike the ToEE? Would there be something li ...

I have to admit, I once played in a campaign of 12 players that were constantly backstabbing, plotting against, stealing from, & selling out each other.

When I joined the group I stayed out of ...

You may also try some herioc short adventures and be blunt about it. I once told the party that "this adventure is going to be run like a fantasy book... You guys are the heroes and I expect you all ...

We gamed on Sunday and they retrieved their high level cleric. They want to combine their characters, so they began the journey from Greyhawk to Saltmarsh. It will be a trying journey filled with da ...

Raymond - an interesting take, the problem is that the spell clearly states that the new body arrives in d6 turns. I have attempted to stay away from the out of game explanation. I was looking for a ...

Oh yes forgot the results, the human cleric returned as a high elf, thus no need to change class. I made him re-roll his physical stats and apply racial adjustments. But, they are already talking ab ...

Icarus - Thanks for the heads up on the Forgotten Realms lead. One of my players has just about everything published for Forgotton Realms so I can investigate further.

Mikel Amroni - Thank you for ...

IronGolem, you hit the nail on the head!!! The problem is the body showing up a couple of turns later that presents alot of problems. Xilinar, excellent prespective. Thus reincarnation, even when u ...

Interesting approach. I have always run my campaigns on the premise that it is what it is. The players have learned that they must know when to fight and when to flee. And I know my players, they w ...

Thanks OleONeEye, that is a great character answer.

Thanks for the reply rasgon. I like the second version better. Nature pulling the soul close to the cycle of life. This would also explain th ...

How do you all handle the character death situation?

I presently have it set up that when someone on Oerth dies, their soul goes to the city of the dead and they wait for the avatars. The gods k ...

We play a heavily modified version of 2e.

Since I already dropped the letter concerning the 2 dragons in the area, I was planning on having the Black be very old and powerful, like your Black Tal ...

Funny thing, my player's low level party is presently at about the same place as your group. They captured the smugglers and purchased the mansion from the city. They determined that not all the smu ...

BTW, excellent site for Onnwal.

Does anyone know if other LG Greyhawk regions are doing this?

Thanks for the info. Sorry about the high-jack.

I believe that followers would attract followers. But, I would also take into consideration the initial individual.
A king can have loyal gene ...

My players have claimed a keep/ mine in the Cairns north of Greyhawk. They have decided to keep it as a base camp and re-open the mine. Is there somewhere I can look to find monthly yield for a mine ...

Thanks, I appreciate the help.

I have come across mention of the Isles of Woe in several articles, but cannot find out more about them. I have tried a "search" but to no avail. Is there someone out there that can help me out? Th ...

Sorry for the Newbie question, but what is "GVD"?
Thanks

Mystic Scholar, no amulet required, there exists cards (sort of like playing cards ie Chronicles of Amber Trump Cards) in my world with the image of an individual that allows communication/ transporta ...

Sorry about the hi-jack.

But, I guess what I am trying to say is that you should not look at things as limitations to your Greyhawk but as things to enhance YOUR Greyhawk. In my game, the Dark Su ...

No privacy required, Scottenkainen. I reside in Lansing, which is on the south side of Chicago on the Indiana border. Just follow I294 south and where it enters Indiana you'll find me.

Greetings, and your welcome, we are always open to meeting new gamers.

Another gamer lost to the road. Mad

One of my players just went back to OTR driving. Sad

But, so it goes, as far ...

Just thought I would add my take. D&D has been and always will be what you put into it. Remember the books are merely guidelines and not rules!!
