Hi all -
AD&D isn't First Edition - although most of us call it that.
But you are stating AD&D terms while using references like Ebberon and Feats which are clearly at least 3rd edition te ...

Okay, I understand you're being funny. Please take my own comments in the same light.

1. New, really? Frank Mentzer used the abbreviation XP in the 1983 D&D Basic Set, where I got my start (se ...

I hope this doesent offend any of you,but i've bottled this up inside for a while,and i'm certain a few of you strongly feel the same.I'm not out to discredit anyone for anything they do or enjoy,but ...

I say save it till you feel up to experimenting with new rules sets.Other than that,stick to 2nd edition,since both of your mix-campaigns are all 2e anyhow and wait for the right time to re-learn a wh ...

Moar cobra stickers!

That is kinda what I was getting at with the "dust". If a building falls out of use and falls into disrepair, it is common for the locals to "pilfer" building materials. It was a common occurance in ...

re: Acid Arrow's reversed version of the spell: I think it's called disintegrate :D :D :D

Ya know,i've never used a disentigration spell on anything other than living tissue...does that make me a ...

Acid Arrow - have you ever taken a look at Hackmaster? I think you'd like it. I've been using the system for several years now and my players prefer it to any other derivative of the D&D rules set ...

I actually have the book of vile darkness( buried deep in one of my closets somewhere),and i seem to remember it covering something on his followers ( I only skimmed the pictures and a few paragra ...

I found a list on EN World of the various monsters you could include:

The post is

Them's a lotta slimes monsters!!

@AcidArrow: Yeah, Night Below has a shrine to Juiblex in it, with several slime/ooze creatures. With the 3.X templates, image what could be done with a fiendish ochre jelly or a half-fiend black pudd ...

I'd also browse through old Warhammer Fantasy modules for references on Nurgle, which sounds akin to Juiblex.

Warhammer!A sacrilige good sir!I do love hero quest though and shadow of the horned ra ...

Some info on Juiblex can be found in Night Below and (shudder) WG7 Castle Greyhawk. Here's my Deitybase™

Ya know,i have night below,i think i'll glance it over,and see what i could come up with.

How about minor,lesser & greater structural restoration,or you could personalize it simaler to "mordenkainen's sword or melf's acid arrow."i mean after all you don't have to be in the circle of ei ...

Wow,somebody actually agrees with me on here for a change!While i think it's a great spell,i think it could use a bit of editing,to fine-tune it a little,maybe a slight name change like i dunno..."str ...

Well i'm with conan on this one!But that's just cause im a sexist pig.
Then again,i would'nt mind seeing lareth the beautiful.

That's a lot of good info mouser,i sort of envision an underground war so to speak between zuggtmoy and juiblex,which would take place between thier followers shorty after the ToEE,seeing as how Juibl ...

We all know the fine pleasantries of old Juiblex the faceless lord,living in his heap of garbage in the lower abyss.His worshippers are far and few inbetween and most don't even know if thier god even ...

Not to mention that the magician able to cast the spell would be a fairly high level. Would the King want to "tick off" the local (or nearby) magical guilds by attempting to force such "ranking memb ...

First off, I figured that whichever miniature I produce for CF will mostly be a show piece as in that I agree that personalities are hard to utilize into a game. I think its the principle behind the ...

So is this a variation on the spell stone shape?And is it restricted to citadels,castles and wooden structures?What about stone golems/earth elementals,does this spell have the ability to "heal" them ...

DM forever!!!

Iggwilv's that far in the lead? Yay! The image of gamers as sex-starved dorks lives on! Laughing

I agree bubba,fact is,you can buy a seductress miniature from probably every miniature company out th ...

As they say,one must learn to crawl before he can properly walk.

Yeah Dennis Mize was the best if you ask me,his niece sold me some of his miniatures from his estate,which i got some semi-rare stuf ...

If sculpting was not so expensive to finance I would do a two-figure pack. However, I do intend to further this line without the voting so there is really no reason that I could eventually make multi ...

lareth, all the way. low level adventure enemies would be great

That woulda been my next choice.

Old man spittle Iuz,cause he reminds me of the Tall Man only slightly more amish looking.

"After we smash him with this big hammer!"

I am willing to bet Greyhawk will not even be mentioned in the module. I am glad I quit giving my money to Wizards.

Me too,they seem to ruin everything they touch.I mean i never played as a gnome ...

I'm satisfied with all given answers,particularly bocco...i mean rasgons's answer.I guess it's a toss up then which is best used by the discretion of the DM.

~I wished i had either Rasgon powe ...

Only one game store around here (of the three or four) have an open game night and all of the tables are already taken up by Living Forgotten Realms 4E players. So if you want to sit on the floor, th ...

Speaking of the dancing hut of baba yaga,i bought a second hand copy fairly cheap a couple years ago,almost mint...........almost! except somebody used an orange highlighter on several pages which i'm ...

i believe it was a generic seting, but since C1 is suppose to be greyhawk, than maybe its easy to fit C3 in it.

dont know about "canon", though

Makes this one seem all the more perplexing,the je ...

I read somewhere (can't remember where exactly.) that "The Lost Island of Castanamir"was a module somehow tied in with the Greyhawk settin ...

Ok,ok i know you guys all hate RE,but if you look at the time those books came out thier was a totally different line of thinking in this country ."

-3 GH novels i should read
1. Quag Keep by Andre Norton (old school Greyhawk, great writer)
2. Nightwatch by Robin Wayne Bailey (good writing)
3. Night Arrant by EGG (just fun, IMO)

I'll agree that the early Estes novels focusing on Mika-Oba are rather tepid at best but the one she wrote about his grandson, "The Eyes Have It" is excellent and you can get it on amazon right now fo ...

That's a shocking change of tone from the original post. I can't imagine that the intent was to remind players that "Gargoyle" can be fun, despite it's draw backs and that everyone should remembe ...

WHAT? No mention of WG7 Castle Greyhawk or WG10 Childs Play?

* Casts a few Greater Atonement spells *

It was mentioned,Castle Greyhawk i believe (if i'm not mistaken,came out in April as an ap ...

I knew i could count on bubbagump for just the answer i was looking for.I think a lot of ppl particularly on canonfire tend to forget what it's all about...having fun with it ...

That's a shockin ...

I have a copy of Come Endless Darkness that is as awful outside as inside. I respect EGG for everything he has done, but that does not mean I have to like it all.

Of course, in my opinion, the thr ...

So, should I change your title from Apprentice Greytalker to...#1 Mika Oba Fan!!! then?

Good idea!!! Happy

I read the Rose Estes novels, hell, I have them all somewhere...and for the life of me I cannot remember **** about them. I think I read them sometime in middle school, so if they were bad, you would ...

Yes, I freely admit this is one of the poorer modules written for Greyhawk. However, back in the day I did run it for a few of my friends and we had a great time with it. As I recall, I didn't even mo ...

You know what the Terrible Trouble at Tragidore was...the module.

As one player said to another about TTaT"Hey at least it was free with the screen."

I know,i could only skim through it because i started suffering from stigmata of the optical nerves...and for the first person who responded,let's just say that im a little burned out at the moment on ...

What an @$$...!

The Gargoyle module!Now i'm sure you all know what this poorly written piece of cow-tripe is all about,so i won't go into great deta ...

Casting times aside,i don't think level is a primary concern if the spellcaster is using a scroll/wand instead of a memorized spell,now it probably would'nt be as potent due to having a lower level,bu ...

Question is,would the mage have time to cast and ready the spell components in time,if it we're me,i'd probably cast mirror-image on myself and wish everyone else the best of luck,maybe even cast a bl ...

Ya know,i've never seen a range of Greyhawk miniatures from the 2e Greyhawk monstrous manual.Those might be worth looking into as well,since you have a lot of competition on those darned pig-faced or ...

Did i fail to mention Vecna???

I don't know why,but now all i can think about is "Tuerny the merciless".

What we need i feel,is a range of personalities like Mordenkainen,Iuz,Rary and so forth.Now i know that these characters are licensed,however,they don't have to be exact duplicates as to ensue legal t ...

While the sewer idea is a great one but,as mentioned above the adventure did take place primarily in the swamp especially the follow up adventure "Return to the tomb of horrors" which takes place abou ...

I have noticed that starting elven pc's can sometimes be around 200 years old...at level 1!!!So i guess what thier saying is that for 200 years this elf did nothing with his life at all???Even meanial ...

Did anyone consider the fact that new fighting styles could be introduced through other planes/demi-planes of existance?Along with such a line of thinking one could introduce new or alien weaponry int ...

Yes,i think obscure grail is a bit strong for a description,however i believe that if more WOG collectors knew about it,i believe the price may signifigantly increase.Has a very nice cover on it,i mus ...

After my last posting i did some research on the Greyhawk coloring books,it took me a while but i found a few things that most of you probably didn't even know existed.The Greyhawk coloring book,is ne ...

I have heard a few speculatory hints that strongheart was another name used by prince thrommel,and that melf is perelay or perelay is his brother ( I have heard both versions.)But there's a coloring b ...

Cobra sticker 'officially' immortalized!

Odd subject matter included but,did anyone notice that Tharizdun's followers are dressed like an equivilent of the KKK ( complete with burning torches.) on page one?If so,i've never heard anyone menti ...

I bought this module on eBay not long ago,someone slapped a dumb vending machine sticker of a cobra on it,which is now permanantly attached to the cover.Sticker looks nice though,sort of like the cobr ...

Only if it we're second edition....

Dungeons don't stay empty forever.Even cleansed dungeons could be re-filled in nearly no time at all with newer tribes of monsters moving in,especially if there's little competition for food and treas ...

Another interesting side-note might include the fact that the EGG of Coot is slightly formless as suggested by the original author Dave Arneson,and has been described as "mass of living cell-tissue" ( ...

WOW!I never expected so detailed an answer,thank you and after reading your blog on baphomet,i now have a probable use for the miniature,and quite an adventuring hook it would be.
I also appreciate ...

As with the original "Keep on the borderlands" there has been a great deal of confusion with Dave Arneson's Blackmoor campaign.Which world does it belong to exactly,the world of Greyhawk,or Mystara?Is ...

I think anything beyond 2nd edition is quite unrealistic and uninspired.1st was great,i mean you could have a lot more stuff to fear than just dying in battle.Gary Gygax really put a lot of thought in ...
