A question on the origins of high elves.
Where do they come from?
From various sources, canon, and stuff thats been around for so long it might as well be canon, grey elves migrated from the western ...

I confess that a lot of discussion involving Oerth's solar system and the calendar goes over my head.

From what I can tell about the moons, their cycles are so regular that the same nights each yea ...

Who exactly are the Nedla?

As is the peoples that Turrosh Mak claimed chieftainship too?

From the Ashes had a basic history of the events of the Greyhawk wars, and the Nedla were not mentioned i ...

Thank you kindly.
That is a better than expected analysis of the product.
I'm not a collector or anything, and was purely looking for a quality and usable product.
Sounds like the re ...

Just curious to know if anyone actually has purchased a hard copy of this?
I would like to know the overall quality, and if it includes the map, and its size.

I think its the only Greyhawk product ...

I was wondering if anyone had a list of state-sponsored churches for the various countries.

Off the top of my head I can think of:

Theocracy of the Pale - Pholtus
Alissha - Zilchus
Dyvers - Zi ...

The old greyhawk BBS had write ups of several deities.
Berei was one of them. I believe they were all compiled in the Best of Greyhawk issue 9 that came out in the early 2000's

There is a yahoo group out there, and we managed to collect all the mods. Its been about a year since ive played, so unfortunately I have forgotten its exact title, but a quick search of the groups s ...

All pdfs, as thats how they were written and distributed. Any hard copies would just be, well, pdfs printed out...

up tp about 2200 now... still looking for that last few elusive mods. If anyone can help, its would be appreciated...

Maybe, as IMC, Tharazidun never even existed. There are just those who think he does, and think he must be imprisoned, and therefore think they need to free him. Whos knows, maybe the thought of thi ...

Personally I wouldnt mind at all if Greyhawk is dropped from the 'core rules' and LG dries up.
Im an avid Greyhawk fan. You dont need much more then the '83 boxed set. I much rather see new materia ...

Rao, Pholtus, Istus, St. Cuthbert, Olidammara, Boccob, Ulaa, Ehlonna, Trithereon, Ralishaz, Heironeous, Hextor, Kord, Iuz, Fharlanghn.
Id agree with those, plus Pelor, Nerull and Beory
Id take thi ...

Ive always saw the '83 boxed set and FTA as two seperate gaming scenerios.
the '83 boxed set is awesome if you just play a free and easy game were your adventurers just run around exploring dungeons ...

I think one thing that many people often over look is that the original WOG boxed set was a very generic setting. Just a skeleton that was loosely based on gygax's own campaign. I dont even think th ...

And if you use Gygax's personal campaign as canon, it was the Scarlet Brotherhood in the employ of Nyrond that nabbed him...

I always assumed the blue referred to their fur colour.
I always imagined the predators in the land of black ice as being more on the extreme side (as in size and ferocity). The blue fur could of ev ...

If you wanted to start a campaign past year 591, honestly the best bet would be to develop your own timeline. Going by the LG material, which as pointed out by pauln6, would indeed be incredibly time ...

There is a write up about Pelor and his priesthood in both Dragon magazine (#346 (i think)) and Oerth Journal #16. Just skimming through them, they seem to take different directions and on some aspec ...

My image of Pelor is that he is one of the few deities that can be found to be commonly worshipped across the Flanaess. I never thought of the church as putting that much importance on hierarchy or l ...

Interesting idea for a campaign. Personally the whole nobility thing doesnt interest me much, but there is much possibility for what you are looking at.
First I think the Great Kingdom is the best p ...

It was in Dungeon magazine
I believe issues 117 to 120 (or thereabouts)

The original Desert of Desolation series was a very enjoyable set of mods to run. I set them in the Sea of Dust (logically) and tweeked them a bit to suit my personal home campaign. It worked out qu ...

I would have to second the vote for the events in the Gord novels.
Tharizdun, Greyhawk, Oerth, Gord are all Gygax's creations, the Greyhawk wars were not ever apart of his campaign. As far as I reca ...

Ive always assumed that the greater gods (as listed from the original Greyhawk folios), have always been. Pelor is generally considered to be the creator of the sun. No sun, no life, no life, no one ...

Ive never played 3e before, but from what ive seen reading different modules and living greyhawk material, it definately looks like power gaming in the extreme. The stuff you use to read way back in ...

Could there be a gold coin worth five gold ivids in the Great Kingdom, for instance? How about a silver coin worth ten silver pieces in the Duchy of Tenh? yeah, they are called platinum and gold piece ...

Also on some of the region websites the intro modules are made public for anyone to download (Shieldlands is one of them). Plus most of the Ratik adventures were posted on the old website once the re ...

Ive always imagined small elvish villages almost being 'a part' of the surrounding forest. Instead of living in hollowed out trees as you mentioned, why not have the trees 'shaped' into houses? Seve ...

Ahem to what Saracenus says...
Thats what id be interested in, a good quality written book, maybe even a triology. It doesnt need to be some big epic, world changing story (as like the original drag ...

Ive read quite a few LG adventures, and I have to say that the ones from the european regions (well the ones that are still around) seem to be of a much higher quality and standard. Im guessing that ...

Hello all
I was just curious on other peoples thoughts on the political/religious/legal workings of the Principality of Ulek. You have the Prince, but how much power does he have? Absolute? Does h ...

Year 5 is soon to be retired...
Just curious to know how many people have been around from the begining? How do you feel about your region? Is it still going strong or does it more feel like part 6 ...

Not sure if Im the only one out there who got caught up in trying to collect all the living greyhawk mods. Its a daunting task... Just curious if other people out there do the same. How big are you ...
