Instead of starting a new thread, I thought I might use this one. My new group of players will be centering their secondary base of operations in or around the city of Hookhill in Bissel (pre Against ...

Great art! One of the things I love is the facial expressions, everything from surprise, to defiance, to fear (none of the bland "anger" artwork that is so common). I'd make only one suggestion: Mo ...

Outside of the old AD&D module N1: Against the Cult of the Reptile God, are there any adventures referencing the city of Hookhill?

I thought Hextor was the Herald of Hell?

D'oh! My bad, my bad. I meant ruler of the first plane of Hell (according to the 1st ed MM?)

I think I'll have "human" worshipers, but reptilian temp ...

I am sending a group on a quest to uncover a powerful magic item that is being held in an ancient and forgotten Temple to Tiamat (The Herald of Hell). With that being said, would you expect a "normal ...

It is irrational to fear Jar Jar Binks and midi-chlorians. Laughing

And that's an excellent example.

I mean if the powers-that-be came out and said, "Hey, Iuz's forces are in complete disarray, i ...

I give this two out of five Greyhawk's. There were certain CGI aspects and scenes that I thought we fantastic! The dragon was...well even the dragon made me go, "Mmmm, yeah, that's a bad*** dragon." ...

I was always afraid "the powers-that-be" would do in depth material on the various kingdoms to the point that WoG became crystallized.
This has never been a fear of mine. I don't mind any defining o ...

One of the reasons why I enjoy WoG is b/c it's where my characters adventured when I was younger, so I have a connection, just like many of you. One of the great things about WoG is that it was large ...

Don't get me wrong, I'm not out to trash the players. I realize everyone brings a little something different to the table, but I was truly amazed at the attitude of "This is what I want and how I wan ...

I recently ran two one shot games and I am concerned that the latest generation of players are....spoiled? Confused

The characters were pre-generated and I handed them out based on what number the pla ...

We all agree there has to be a joyful suspension of disbelief in our mutually enjoyable hobby. Wink

But how realistic are your games? Rules say one thing, but even stretched reality says someth ...

And on the other side of the bridge, "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Acererak R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn" Tomb of Horrors reference and Cthulhu for extra credit ;-)

This is the most simplistic board. Frozen waste, they have to cross the covenant bridge (both Judeo-Christian reference and Norse reference for the win) and endure a good old slug fest. Ironically, t ...

Are you thinking of Dis, the Iron City?

Booya Grandma! That's what I'm talking about. It was driving me stone cold crazy. Many, many thanks! Happy

Is there some arch-devil, demon lord or other entity that lives in an iron fortress or tower on another plane? I know there was a gaming adventure called Lord of the Iron Fortress, but that's not wha ...

Here is some work I'm doing on the fire board. A few more stalactites, a few more floating pieces and it should be good to go. I hope the players find it enjoyable.

I keep wanting to go as Santa Claus for Halloween or a really out of shape Easter bunny wearing a "wife beater" and a five O'clock shadow. The costume was sewn by my mother (God rest her soul!) from ...

Finally got the floor done, now to do the walls. The walls will be much more stark. Repainting the golden web, net, I mean net! Repainting the "net" gold was actually fun. It was like tracing cart ...

Sorry this pic is so late, but a few of you might get a chuckle out of it, even if it isn't D&D related. I helped out a friend of mine who's staff cut out, so I hung out for a few hours....

It's a MAGIC rope bridge!

Ragnar would be correct, it is indeed a magic rope ridge SirXaris. Don't shatter my dreams maaaaaan! (<---said in my best Tommy Chong voice) Laughing

Now what red blooded 'murican kid can't relate to jumping on the furniture and not touching the lave covered floor?! I have plenty of work to do on this board, but it too is coming together nicely. ...

This is the last board the party will come to adventure on (hopefully). The arch villain, Blisters the gnome, set up his magical tower in an enchanted forest of giant mushrooms. After some failed ma ...

The following are works in progress. They are for a one shot game I'm going to run. I'll eventually post the session journal here for you to chuckle at while perusing. I just wanted to give some of ...

One of the cornerstone entities of fantasy are the fey. Oddly, I don't remember coming across many adventures using them. I remember being a child and looking through the old AD&D 1st ed Monste ...

God, many years ago in a garage in California using a ping pong table for our game was the place that started an adventure that we still talk about to this day. A session that started around 7pm and e ...

There are some incredibly creative and brilliant DM's out there and they make some very good adventures, sadly, I am not one of these deified DM's. Embarassed

With that being said, what were some home br ...

So all the evil clerics in your WoG (Pathfinder version) have selective channeling? Seems like the mundane mortal powers would do everything they could to wipe out evil cults, shrines, temples and th ...

Ah the age old question! Before I get advice (and I hope I do), let me fill you crusty old veterans of adventure in with some background

1) Most of the pc's have never used Pathfinder
2) Most hav ...

Oerth is home to some of the darkest places imaginable and can be a way station for life (or unlife) on its journey to even darker places. One of the scariest modules for me was Queen of the Demonweb ...

Oh I've introduced fighters, clerics, assassins, the whole 9 yards, much to the chargrin of my players in the past. Evil Grin

Lately Gruumsh sent a warrior who wore armor etched with the names of the ...

How many humanoids do the adventurer's have to ice before the humanoid gods get involved? On one hand, I can see that jolly and twisted fellow Gruumsh chuckling as the herd is culled, but when his pe ...

The arm grows back...but there is no tattoo on it, because tattoos are not OEM, and neither is that moody black fingernail polish on the fingertips. If the fighter's head had been hacked off and lo ...

While they don't remind me of the works from the masters like Easley, Elmore, Caldwell or Parkinson and others, there is a certain Saturday morning cartoon allure to them. And while I don't feel they ...

I have a couple of favorite traps.

The first was a room that when the PCs step inside, the large metal door swings shut behind them. The floor is covered in soot and there is a big metal lever in t ...

Tomb of Horrors! Laughing

Man, that mouth trap is like a big RED button that has a flashing sign over it saying "You'll never guess what this button does when pressed." Evil Grin

WoG is filled with a vast sea of creativity (both diabolical and benign), so it's no wonder there are all manner of traps from mundane to magical. What is your favorite trap and why? Stories shaming ...

The evil cleric nukes his own minions, what, just to do it? And so they turn on him, as if the evil cleric would for some reason think that they would not? Sounds like unintelligent DMing to me. Th ...

I have to say, I hated the latest installment of the Hobbit movies. Oh I loved Smaug! He was, imho, the epitome of a dragon; large, cruel, utterly contemptuous of any life beneath him and that breat ...

How many devil cults have insignia to identify their followers? I think it was the old Gord of Greyhawk novels that had one guy have a tattoo under his tongue (yikes!) as proof of worshiping Asmodeus ...

Um gotta be honest folks, I can't say things are that bad. In pure theory yes they are, but from a role playing perspective, I've never seen it as a big deal. I've had two groups face an evil cleric ...

Funny this came up, because I was thinking about a similar topic. For me, what makes an adventure a good WoG adventure is the details. Things as simple as cultural traits, heraldry, even clothing th ...

I would like to thank all of you for your help. As my 4yr daughter says, "Faa-bliss!" Which means "great" in 4yr old speak, not be confused for "Daddy no hear, I goan!" which means "Screw you for no ...

I vaguely remember Iuz's kids having access to some type of wand that shot out shards of bone, which I thought was pretty nifty. Were there two version, one for the greater Boneheart and one for the ...

Just putting my two cents in (on topic) about what I would like to see for monsters like the orog/ogrillon/quaggoth and similar creatures. I'd randomly throw peryton and others into the list as ...

Hi. Old school gamer come back to get in touch with the halcyon days of my angry and misspent youth. I'm enjoying Pathfinder rules and now in an old school group that uses World of Greyhawk with sai ...

Any suggestions where I could find information on orc-ogre crossbreeds? I was perusing the old Living Greyhawk Gazetteer while watching the movie Daybreakers (awful movie) and came across this enigma ...
