Good reading you all.

Kirt, I agree with your tying orc culture and tribal names to their gods.
Bloody head could also be another tribe of Shagraas worshipers and
Rotting eye another of Gruumsh. ...

Good repost Vulcan,

Another unmentioned river town feature is the water wheel.

Hey

I just heard. R.I.P. Gary.

I've played since chainmail, and Gary Gygax made it possible.
Thank you all for your moving rememberances. Non gamers just can't get it. I can't believe ...

Hey Guys,

Yup, the devil's in the details.

Thanks for the comment Anced_Math. It turned out rather clever IMHO. The correlations all seem relevent to the topic. I hope I didn't lose anyone with ...

Hey Guys,

I was wondering if anybody has a good answer to this. Specifically, the monster summon spells and conjure animal spells. The animal summoning spells clearly say than the animals are summo ...

Oh, Good work on the poll. I haven't tried to make one yet.

Hey Baggins,

Hey Anced_Math,

I didn't realize the boring player was in your group, I thought you were hypothisizing. No offense.

My Campains are cyclical. I have 4 main campains and I back up the timeline an ...

Hey Samwise,

As this is not a forum on either history, nor economics, I have kept my response breif, simplistic really. If you truly wish to debate the subjects with me, PM me and I will link you ...

Rome was a slave economy. Also a military economy, hard to have one without the other. No one could match Romes economy for 300 years.

When my campain starts back up I plan on getting some use out of this one.

I just say this on Tedras Funpage yesterday,

It's so funny, and to True.

I've included rape, torture, abuse of children, and genocide in my campaigns.

Same here, When I was younger It was much more prevelent., sometimes raunchy. A troll rushing to slay the party is les ...

Hey Anced-Math,

Epic to me is but an adjective. A synonym for very high level play. If you have a world that saw your PCs grow to say 15th level, continuing them results in epic level play.
As fo ...

A canon source not mentioned is the original boxed set. The thinner pamphlet had encounter tables and frequencies that included Slavers.
You could extrapolate the percentages, compare to darlenes map ...

Hey Guys,

This thread is an evolution of another. My intent is to take/utilize ideas into a campaining arc that will flesh out some possibilities of epic play in GH. Please try to be sensitive of ...

Hey guys good thread,

Glad to see greyhawk really is more important than editions.

Thanks all for clarifications.

I see more of what you are asking now Anced_Math.
I have spent a great amo ...

Living Greyhawk is a campaign, not a campaign setting.

This is the best, most concise, non threatening way of describing what I imagine many of us feel. Thank you Abysslin for your clarity.

Maybe the term Epic needs clarification.

I've been surfing and 3e has Epic level handbook or somesuch. Hey Anced_Math, did you mean this for 3.0 only? I've given many High level adventure hooks an ...

Delglath is spot on, you get my golden DM award Happy

The essential greyhawk is personal. DM friendly with plenty of grey to develop or leave. Greyhawk was the first mass produced(nods to blac ...

Hey Guys,

Thanks for the info Enslaved_DM.
Damn! It sounds interesting. My 2e allows for monsters bonuses, and my humanoids leaders are already PC like. But if 3e has -25ac and 400hp monsters h ...

Hey Guys,

Since the Marklands/Iuz the Evil came out, I've tried to incorporate mass combat into the pc storyline.

In order to achieve name level, some sort of homebase is required. I've been a ...

As to the destruction of Tenh in LG, I'd watch that particular space carefully in the next few months....

I run 2e with modifications, and know very little of 3e or3.5e. From reading the thread, some suggestions have sprung to mind.

Hey eanondson,

First let me say, if you hadn't read my comments on your maps, that your work is superlative.

It has been several years since I've searched for D&D info online. I have only ...

Hey GVD,

For me, it is selfish interest. I've paid over 1,000$ in product and I have a strong 2e campain. I'll be damned if I completely overhaul my system to encorporate unnessessary rules and ge ...

If the new canon says the Isles of Woe have risen, watch me sink it.

Hey guys,

Yeah, I don't have any books or modules that answer the question, so like a good DM I made it up. I went to the greytalk archive but it was down, I thought someone in this great site wou ...

Heya Muscles,

Thanks for your help. It's interesting b/c I too was going to play the Drow card with Celene. I can only imagine what Celene would do if say maybe 6-7 minor nobles and courtesa ...

Hey Hawkers,

Great Site!

I'm rather long on imagination, but short on canon. I searched(honest) the engine and gave up. If this is resolved somewhere, please link me.

Hey CruelSummerLord,
Many good reasons have been given, I use most of them but this one, KofHS are in no way despised nor outcast IMC. The weak (IMO) rationale that KofHart could have in any way ha ...
