I still think this needs to be done.

Excellent threadomancy, BlueWitch.

I'm very interested to see what sort of treatment is given to the potions of Greyhawk City in this adventure. I'm hoping it is a very seedy and nasty place. The 2e Blue Boxed set seemed kind of "bla ...

I guess I don't understand what your point is. What do you think WotC should be doing that its not?

I wasn't making a point about WotC, merely supporting my earlier words on why WotC does things. ...

Vormaerin and Samwise, both of you are taking my comments out of context and setting up straw men.

I never said that profit was not a motivation, merely that profit was not the only motivation orig ...

You think TSR didn't want to make money before it was "transformed"?

No, I think Gary and crew were hoping it would make some money, but weren't betting the farm on it. They had been playing the ga ...

Well, the solution to bad game balance is not to make the NPCs equivalently unbalanced....

PART of the solution. Some players will abuse badly balanced rules whether the NPCs make it hard on them o ...

Greyhawk is definitely medium fantasy, as in, there are a few realistic elements in it, but it is a largely fantastical place. However, I have no problem with a DM taking his own vision of Greyhawk or ...

Actually that is true. They were an appendix. But we always rolled for psionic ability anyway. :)

In 1st edition, psionics was part of the game (albiet not so often used). In 2nd edition, it became more of an option and 3.5 continues that trend. Since 1e cannot be divorced from Greyhawk, it theref ...

Yea, I thought it was cool that Creighton deigned to use Reydrich as his sample NPC. Not bad, although a little vanilla. Unless you use purely core rules in your campaign, Reydrich could get run over ...

For those interested, I have started this up as a PBP campaign at ENWorld. Check it out [url=http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=187890]here.

Okay, I've been rip-fu'd. Embarassed

I concede my heretical point. Smile

I had assumed that Herkluth was something the Duchy Triad came up with. I had also thought that Cuthbert's popularity in th ...

There is nothing in the 1e entry TMK that states explicitly that these decades ago refers to Cuthbert's time as a mortal. It could be a time when came down from the heavens to mete out some cudgely la ...

I thought this would be a thread on the differences between Wee Jas in 1e and 3.5. Boy was I wrong!

Anyway, I would say focusing on her vanity and magic portfolios would be key. Treat it like a tem ...

So... if the machinery is in place, then let's go!

Incidentally, if we stated explicitly that it was NOT fan fiction on the front page, I don't think anyone would have reason to complain. Some stil ...

In my experience, it does not seem like the ability to edit another's work is detrimental to the wiki experience overall. There is the occassional [url=http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2005/12/16]jac ...

There are the Dakan in the Amedio jungle. They are ape-like creatures. I also think there was some other stuff in the Isle of Dread.

There is an entry for Greyhawk in the wikipedia, but what if someone were to create a Greyhawk wiki for fans to add to. It could be an online campaign setting, authored and edited by fans. Of course, ...

Since I am a Triad in LG, I am well aware of the LG document.

And I am also familiar with SKR's website.

The LG document does not follow the 3e rules for domains. The Circle has their own scheme ...

I had never considered using affiliations to differentiate knights of different orders. I like that idea.

In my quest to update Greyhawk to the 3.5 rules set, I have been developing a handbook for players joining my Greyhawk campaign. I have poured through the width and depth of 3.5 rules and AD&D ref ...

I've kept this campaign idea in the back of my head for a while now. I haven't begun it yet, but I plan to eventually (in the next 2-3 years).

I like your idea about how Iuz's power is somehow or i ...

WotC owns Greyhawk and most of the material associated with it (aside from the Gord stuff and a handful of characters and concepts retained by Kuntz and Gygax), they have every right to produce it.
...

I just wanted to express that with the new plot around the Free City, this will mean that a lot of LGers will buy the module and possibly use it as a reference for their view on the setting. ( ...

Hey hey folks,

Hardcore GH fans expecting heavily detailed Greyhawk canon from WoTC are bound for disappointment. But it seems likely that those same details that are lacking will be easy enough t ...

So how much "elf" has to be mixed in before the offspring becomes "elf" again? Three-quarters? Nine-tenths? Inquiring geneticists want to know.

You mean people aren't talking about this already? I just saw it announced on ENWorld at midnight and this is all the chatter so far? I thought people would be excited that Greyhawk is finally coming ...

And to answer the question of whether obtaining the adventures is worth it: yes, at least for Bandit Kingdoms adventures since I am the current overseer of them. :)

Other regions have good stuff as ...

You know my beef with LG (and the RPGA in general)? I would gladly pay for those materials if they'd only let me. In order to join the RPGA, I must attend an event. I can't just send them a check. ...

I am shortly beginning a new campaign based on Castle Greyhawk circa 576 CY. I own Greyhawk Ruins. What other sources are there on the illustrious castle? I am aware of Castle Zagig and Yggsburgh, but ...

I'm totally stoked about this. This would be the first time since the LGG that WotC has produced something "official" for Greyhawk. And if EM is on the job, then it will be true 'hawk. I know some peo ...

First of all, to answer your main question, I believe Littleberg is probably one of the most optimal places for the Speaker in Dreams. In the first place, it is a barony whose ruler has a LG alignment ...

Anna, I just wanted to pipe in that you are very talented, and I hope your work continues to bear such marvelous fruit!

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I still have yet to receive response on one of my main querries: how would you organize it (into chapters)?

The LGG is a late 2E/3.0 sourcebook but was so edition neutral that it functions well as a 3.5 sourcebook all by itself.

I agree it serves well as an edition-neutral source for background informati ...

Living Greyhawk is moving towards that central location idea. At least now all of our regional adventures are downloadable in one location (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=lg/region/adventures). ...

Given the sheer volume of material that is available via Polyhedron, the LGJ, the LGG, and Dungeon and Dragon magazine, I think it would be possible to compile those sources, add a bit of new informat ...

I'm a Triad member for the Living Greyhawk campaign (think: regional DM). While the things that happen in LG are not necessarily considered canon, we do document the happenings in various ways. Some r ...

Thanks, mtg. This is exactly the kind of feedback I was hoping for.

Regarding the basic idea, although there were problems with Vecna Lives!, this was not one of them imho. Oerth has a unique deifi ...

So I've been looking at Heroes of Horror and some ideas for a campaign have been forming in my head. As a Greyhawk fan, I like the idea suggested of a campaign where Iuz has won and the word is mostly ...

WG8 Fate of Istus is alleged to take place between 576 CY and 579 CY. In the first chapter, The Sage's Tower, the background information on Rookroost explains that General Pernevi, a Fighter/Thief, is ...

Thanks. That's exactly what I was looking for.

Ah, I own the SB accessory too so I wish I had seen that before. It's one of the harder sourcebooks to read though so I've never finished it.

I still think it makes for a compelling campaign idea. ...

I've looked at numerous sources (The Adventure Begins, Greyhawk Boxed Set, Living Greyhawk Journal) and I can't find a location for a temple dedicated to Istus, even though Mathilde Dessenter, Matriar ...

I was reading over the story of Reydrich's death and resurrection in Greyhawk: The Adventure Begins, and a very interesting idea struck me. There were no indications that Reydrich's body was ever reco ...

The LGJ had a knight of the hart prestige class back at some point. Forget which one though.
