Greetings all, i am new to the community though i have been a greyhawker for 3 years or so. I started playing D&D with the old ''red box'' set about 12 years ago so i can be considered as a "old school purist". In my young days as a DM i was using a campaign world of my own, but then i discovered that using an official campaign world provided more credible and complete information... Obviously i was amazed by the political structure the world of greyhawk could provide and so i decided to make this world my own. As i am a DM who likes to have maps of his own cities (i design some maps myself though they are not as good looking as those provided on the site by Yabusama) i bought the fate of Istus module. The book has some useful information (and some not so useful info too... the map of Helsuel Ilshtar for example...) and some interesting maps that i use for my campaign... But now i am faced with a big dilemma : Where is the real Verbobonc ? For now we have 3 different maps of the city :
1- Verbobonc city in fate of Istus... Robert J. Kuntz is a trustable source to me
2- A 3-D view of the city looking quite nice but pretty different from the precedent (i think it comes from a Vecna related module...not sure though)
3- A home-made version of Verbobonc, pretty much detailed, the link is provided on the canonfire website... the guy has done a great work but the EGG-cultists-of-the-true-Greyhawk do not seem to like it (the river seems too big for me too though)
Who can help me ? which version of Verbobonc city are you guys using ? Which is the official living GH version ? What about Rel Mord... is the Carl Sargent version better than the one in Fate of Istus ?
