Wow this is a great zine! I especially enjoyed Moore's terakollosans and of course Magepoint. I am happy Rick Miller could finally get his vision of that town published. Hats off to Troy, Paul, Sam, E ...

Thank you for the shout out of my blog. Your hex paper is the best thing I ever buy at Garycon. I only wish I made more maps. Anyhow, good post, everyone please check it out and patronize Black Blade ...

Nope! This makes alot of sense the way you explained it. Guess the males even the score by making a klepto-magocratic society?
I've always admired the drow matriarchal culture for it was based aroun ...

The Mahdi cast as an evil cultist of Vecna? Yes sign me up for this plot twist. With that said, it wouldn't be hard to assume an evil Mahdi would not be an enemy of Ull but accommodating to his "dervi ...

Thank you, my friends! I do regret not using the CF forums more often. The nature of social media changes, and priorities shift. I however will never quit this community.

Hey all I missed my 20 year Canonfire anniversary by a couple months. Wow time flies! In that time I've wrote many many articles for CF, done a weekly comic strip, a Greyhawk blog, a Greyhawk graphic ...

Whoa! This is some deep lore here! Beyond the Flanaess put to good use IMO. I had recently been in some discussion about the father of Heironeous or Hextor, and Alia. But this here is some good stuff. ...

Wow that is some top notch threadomancy! This forum post definitely takes me back in time. I even remember where I was when I thought of my Abyssal entry. As a contributor to this exercise I am fine w ...

Congrats Osmund! Time certainly does fly! I think I'm right behind you in length of membership. I totally credit Canonfire and regulars like you and Cruel Summer Lord for spurring me to submit more ma ...

Kudos to all the authors and to the staff behind producing this zine. Keep the Greyhawk flag flying!

I'm really enjoying this series. It really makes me nostalgic for my old 1E/2E Greyhawk war campaigns. Having troop breakdowns like this invaluable whether you do mini or abstract mass combat. Kudos, ...

Regarding Tasha/Iggwilv being fey in the latest 5E product (which is very good at extending her lore from previous sources), the boon of immortality IIRC is a byproduct of her dwelling in the Feywild ...

Timely topic! We had discussed this in the Canonfire Discord just last night. I haven't studied this even as closely as GH Musings has, but yes if the original author was inspired by Spartacus or real ...

Jason was a huge presence in our community and he will be dearly missed. Gratefully his prolific works will live on and inspire others to continue exploring all things Gygax and Greyhawk, just the way ...

A swarm of articles? Better use AOE attacks on them, it's quicker! Laughing

I already ran all of GoS and I'd still get those minis! Never owned a sahuagin mini before, much less a multi-armed one. The croc is fantastic too!

Um, I'm a little confused by your wording here. You say that if the PCs answer "wrong" in Lyzandred's dungeon, then they have to fight the encounter to activate the exits. Doesn't that mean that if th ...

Hey folks. I'm feeling an epic rant coming on. Recently I opened Lyzandred (volume 2 of the Lost Tombs series, if that's important) to leaf thru it again. What spurred this was White Plume Mountain ac ...

Plenty of room for us all in the Hut. Iggwilv will be harder to share Laughing

Maximus: Trithereon. I'll stay on your good side. Also, you'd redo the City of Greyhawk? Daaaang. Guessing you'd like to see the Gord novel version in that same box set? ;)

therabyd: Wee Jas, Five ...

I don't think that was clear. There is the submit article link on the left, but I'm rusty and don't know if thats what they had in mind. I'll ask Smedger about it next time I talk to him. In the meant ...

Nice bit of threadomancy! This is a great topic that I hope can be revisited more. It took place in 2004 so what have we learned or added to Greyhawk magic lore since then? Living GH ended in 2008, pr ...

WHOA! This is an inspired cover song. Well played. Bravo sir!

LOL! The most devious plot yet!!!!

Sir Robilar; pre-Rary the Traitor. Anyone whose usual day would include going solo into the Temple of Elemental Evil is probably someone you'd want to take along almost anywhere. Surely never a du ...

Oonga?

Loving these replies guys!

WHOA!

A fitting tribute. I am so glad Len continued to share his time and creativity with the Greyhawk community even in illness. I know my life was enriched by his presence and he will not be forgotten.

Subscribed!

Oh if only we had this kind of media when the boxed set first came out.

I love this idea! And to do it Folio style would be visually stunning too.

Daaaaang that was a harsh, but honest assessment and from the first release. How did ToH ever gain cult status?

1) I have previously made hybrid rules using BECMI, 3.5(and PF) plus at times the Dragon 116 info. mind you I have rarely stuck with ship combat rules since its rare, I've needed it mostly for long vo ...

I was rewatching the cartoon just yesterday. Good times!

Good work to all the authors involved. Especially those who are new to Oerth Journal. Very proud of everyone for coming together.

So many battles! If I could ever get the bug again that would be my ultimate Greyhawk historical work.

Wow I love this timeline of rulers! And here I thought Ekbir was a quiet place. A lot of self-declared rulers, assassinations and god-kings. My Ull seems almost tame by comparison lol.

I missed this!

Then again it seems so improbable that a xvart could attain lesser divine status much less demigod. I feel okay with demigod, but wow, Raxi's stats in the boxed set, he has 246 hp! H ...

Wonderful post CSL!

I agree with Tarelton on the wargaming backdrop influence. It's interesting that some of the best books in 2E onward are not adventures like Abysslin mentions, but rather settin ...

I'm inclined to agree with the diabolic connections.

As for my comic, I did a later one that expands on Incabulos and Nerull to include some other mysterious presences...and no Tharizdun is not a f ...

So far I'm impressed by this book. It is indeed laced with Greyhawk lore, having enough to satisfy prior published sources and at the same time not too much to distract from the adventures.

Nice find! I really never noticed these before. Perhaps in trying to settle the domain, some villages nearer to the Mistmarsh failed for various reasons, most likely monsters. Sounds like a PERFECT re ...

This is pretty cool, even with the limitations that Cebrion mentions. Happy

A great loss. Perhaps the single most talented setting writer of all time. Certainly, my personal favorite; some of you might recall that my very first screen name in the D&D community was "Ivid"; ...

Good post, sir!

Yeah this is pretty good as original Greyhawk tied 5E material goes. I highly recommend it to my 5E playing friends, if you are a completionist of all things GH go for it, otherwise ...

My conversion. Enjoy

LOL yup, poor Sagard, be barely knew ye!

I wrote this article building off Rip's great work on this forum and another published source. Enjoy and throw some other ideas out there if you like.

http://greyhawkery.blogspot.com/2018/06/evil-a ...

I loved this topic. Had no idea there was three sources for the Rain. Well done! In my youth I always imagined the Bakluni tapping into the Hellfurnaces and causing supervolcanic eruptions to dump ash ...

I've dealt with seafaring rules many times in my Sea Princes campaigns. Sometimes I leaned toward crunchy rules (used to have 3.5/1E/Expert) hybrid rules. Then other times I went mostly narrative for ...

Well I got the book finally and its a 10/10 on lore. Throughout the book is scraps of lore about Mordenkainen himself and his own snarky comments. There is many other Greyhawk easter eggs sprinkled in ...

Enjoyable topic lol.

He saved Ull for last. HUZZAH!!!!!!! Happy

The links and things have been in disarray and I don't have any good answers. This is an old site that probably needs archived or migrated someday.

However, Saracenus is a champ for taking the grou ...

Great topic CSL!

Well I don't have the notes or recall for specific details of my many campaigns over the years, but I can point out which places get worked over the most.

The Shield Lands is al ...

For those who use DMsGuild and are aspiring Greyhawk writers I have a question. Does Wizards use of Mordenkainen on the cover and content of this upcoming book make the character fair game for 3rd par ...

Haha nice! I want one of those in purple.

Thanks for sharing Kirt! One of these days I'd love to run Barrier too. How you liking 5E so far? :)

Coincidentally I've done a blog redesign on Greyhawkery. Adding more content in the form of player primers (work in progress). Some of my lists I'm attempting to hew toward "modern" 5E play, but the c ...

Thanks Rasgon ol' buddy!

That map almost didn't happen. I had it in my mind and on the first attempt I couldn't get the perspective right. So then I slept on it and did some research into real worl ...

Happy Needfest Greyfolks, here's a map I cooked up based on the Dorakaa city map from Iuz the Evil and City of Skulls. Enjoy.

http://greyhawkery.blogspot.com/2017/12/new-greyhawk-map-dorakaa.html

Well Allan, my chances of going back to Garycon are much better than Gencon. Gencon is so impossible to find hotels that it's pricing me out almost. We shall see, but I definitely want to hang out aga ...

Holy hell! Shocked

I'm very impressed by your attention to the deities. I'd love to pick your brain on this project as I'm gearing up to feature some 5E-centric Greyhawk primers using current sou ...

Good response DLG! Meeting Darlene at Garycon last year was worth missing GenCon however. OTOH I am currently 90% going to GenCon51. Maybe we can talk more maps soon!

Wonderful conversion! I wasn't going to bother getting this but now it seems quite feasible.

Here's a recent post I think people would like to share their experiences with...

http://greyhawkery.blogspot.com/2017/10/why-darlenes-greyhawk-map-is-special.html

And just like that, it's cancelled. Cry

Even though the guys got a good handle on this answer, here is some more proof that I dredged up years ago. Enjoy.

http://greyhawkery.blogspot.com/2012/01/blackpowder-weapons-in-greyhawk.html

I too am mostly useless when it comes to editing the website anymore. Try Cebrion? Laughing

Yeah the JW. It was also in part because the Greyhawk Reborn crowd was running their events out of that hotel. The RAM will forever be my favorite cause of the outside seating and its central to the a ...

Dammit Rob!

This year I won't be there. It was just Anna, me and my friends last time.

Thanks for sharing! This is really good stuff. I love the line work.

http://greyhawkery.blogspot.com/2016/06/greyhawk-wizards-pentad.html Speaking of Elayne how about some girl power from my Pentad?

Or a lich? http://greyhawkery.blogspot.com/2016/06/greyhawk-liches- ...

You guys crack me up lol.

No man, I didn't catch any events outside the ones I was invited to. If I had been in the mind to do the writeup before hand I would've done more investigation. Next time!

Agreed with Cebrion.

The Flannae are messed up. Veralos evidently went south. Sulm's curse is well known. The Sinking Isle culture was cursed iirc. Not to mention the Isles of Woe who also sank. Th ...

Great start!

I am loving this on many levels. One it's old school, from the font to the format and maps. Two I love the encounter chart. I know from experience it takes some thought to construct th ...

Hey everyone, checkout my recap of GaryCon from last weekend!

http://greyhawkery.blogspot.com/2017/03/garycon-2017-recap.html

The tribes were labeled by Anna whose research on maps I trust. I read Sea of Death once and even did a post on them. That may be an area I'll have to check again.

As for Qabu's appearance and what ...

http://greyhawkery.blogspot.com/2017/02/greyhawk-megadungeon-idea.html

And a follow up.

http://greyhawkery.blogspot.com/2017/02/greyhawk-beyond-crystalmists.html

Something I worked on recently. Enjoy.

Some of you might remember when I destroyed the Flanaess with a flood, but are you ready for the Greyhawk Zombie Apocalypse??

http://greyhawkery.blogspot.com/2017/01/greyhawk-zombie-apocalypse.html

I've checked them out occasionally but stopped. I'll look into it again since you mentioned it.

Wow, yet another great compilation for the year. Could you imagine how much you'd have to track if Wizards was putting out official stuff on a regular basis? Great coverage my friend! I'm going to kee ...

I hear ya, but I worry that the intentional Forgotten Realm themed cover will bury the content for purposes of DMsGuild.

All the above plus, some alot of those Circle wizards have already imbibed Potions of Longevity before. They have two options to stave off Nerull at this point. Go the Zagig/Murlynd route and become a ...

Holy crap!

I love this artwork. Your Boneheart are all quite evil. Jumper and Kermin is my fave. The Mordenkainen piece is very good. I am also in awe of the Battle of Crockport. Do you do requests ...

Sorry to muddle up your question Eileen. Flanaess or no, I would think the map is definitely all "eastern Oerik" in the very least. My educated guess is 5000 miles across?

DLG, you are the man! :)

Yeah the comic is a labor of love and any little bit we get is worth the extra incentives to our readers.

Where does one start and end? Is Ket part of the Flanaess or the border? Is the Tiger Nomads part of it? Measuring Nomads to end of Thillonria might yield a different result than Bissel to Rel Astra f ...

Wow good find. I love Maure Castle and really wish it had been fully detailed. Still, what we got during Paizo's heyday was an amazing achievement.

Graz'zt!!! YES Wink

HUZZAH!

Ah I feel honored, and homaged! Thanks my friend!

Laughing

Grodog you better tell your friend it's off at least where Canonfire is concerned. Had too many people drop out. Plus Anna has the Ennies. Sorry to anyone else on the forum who considered going. I hop ...

Well hell dude haha. Congrats on the new job. Better luck next time.

Well done my friend! The world is always better for having more magic items. Your pdf format is also now the gold standard for CF articles in my opinion. Keep the Greyhawk flag waving!

p.s. you're ...

Okay folks I'll be at the JW Marriott on Friday @6pm and after for a Greyhawk meet and greet at the restaurant on the first floor (High Velocity?)

Same as last year.

Anyone at all interested get ...

Great topic! Good answers guys.

Nothing special but in my own experience I got the most longevity out of Greyhawk Ruins. The running back and forth to the city and dungeons is a nice simple set up ...

Well done guys! Wow nice interest in this topic. I wish I hadn't been a slouch and thought to write something up. Kudos to all!

Very good food for thought. I've done population density maps before of the Flanaess, they weren't much but scrap maps though. And I think it was only of the Great Kingdom. What I found interesting (p ...
