Glad to know you found the links useful Mystic - Scholar.

Sorcerers need more love although there are blood line feat that were mentioned in Dragon magazine that can grant them more spellcasting options. Nexus method was a Greyhawk feat.

I like using t ...

Level 11+ is Legendary so those would be the people talked about IMO besides the local heroes. Bread and butter of the itinerent bards and other travellers. No television or radio so stories and ne ...

Wasn't there a cursed Scorpion Crown Artifact which slowly transformed the Bright desert about a degree every few years?

One point of precedence which is very important to the Seven Families is that their formal titles (Baron, Count, or Viscount) are not important. They are regarded as equals in rank, above everyone ...

I favor Beory granting the spells as a N(G) greater goddess the under her aspects of Oerth Mother, Nature and her neutrality aspect to avert a crisis in the faith of a good religion due to a temporar ...

Thanks I'd bought the Shadis issue and remembered it was at RPG Archive but had forgotten about the issue with it thought your earlier post regarding the OJ #7 was more backgroud information for the ...

Bummer the Paizo sale was so popular 4 items were cut from my order including the Den of Thieves I was looking forward to. Sorry no review.

"The House on Summoner Court" by Roger Moore and the dagger used by Glorial and the bowl are also candidates.

Here's a link to RPG archive with the free adventure (formerly published in a magazin ...

The Villain Lorebook is a free download at Wizard's:

Third from the bottom hope it helps.

Ok, great. Now does the LGG have postwar stats on countries? For instance, does the Shield Lands exist at all? Is the Great Kingdom still intact, etc.

Yes, Yes, Divided.

The Last Breaths of Ashenport is pretty cool with Dagon and one of the traders is listed as being from Greyhawk.

There is the Shadow of Shathragut NPC at Wizard's plus the latest adventure at Wizard's feels very Far Realms although the adventure is based on using Dagon.

The Last Breath of Ashenport adventure is at Wizard's and has Greyhawk references. Only on the second page but one of the traders is from Greyhawk.

I like to think of the fragment as being similar to an "Aspect" several source books have them now but the Minatures Hand Book has the most from Greyhawk to my knowledge. Separated from an imprisoned ...

Die Vecna Die had Vecna and Iuz.

Planescape "Dead Gods" had Orcus/Tenebrous.

The Minatures Handbook has Aspects of Asmodeus, Bahamut, Demogorgon, Hextor, Kord (Personally explains the Dragon art ...

I default and use suggested wealth by level DMG page 135 and NPC demographics so no magic stores or lots of high level casters at the PCs beck and call. IMO the lower level games are more fun 2 - 6. ...

I'm also a big fan of Big slumering Tharizdun and appreciate the link to the other dark religions.

New very minor article "Shadow of Shothragut" referencing a fragment of Tharizdun at Wizard's regarding a prophet:

castlemike, thanks for steering me to RPG now. I hadn't heard of it before; what a treasure trove, I spent a hour just looking around. This can't be good for my health, and certainly isn't good for ...

Neither did I, but it was fun entering and my congratulations also go out to the winners. I was so pumped up I submitted to early and was over word count. Lesson learned for next year. I didn't r ...

RPG Now is good for a PDF under $5 and you can download them up to 5 times (It was nice after I lost my computer and the backup dvd). I believe there is a collection of 10 or so that has Keep on the ...

The Serpent (Vecna Reborn) and Lady of Pain (Planescape) are both rumored to be among the Ancient Brethren, which are hinted at being older than the gods. They have plenty of company in the for ...

Clark posted they were adding 6 alternates tonight (#33-39) who might get an opportunity to compete in case one of the 32 gets disqualified, eliminated or drops out so it should be interesting. Look ...

Guide to Hell had a creation mythos not a lot of people cared for but which was interesting involving Asmodeus and Jazirian.

I would second DMPrata's recommendation of Return to the Keep on the Border it is pretty clear cut on the good and evil. It had a side track con adventure for a minor relic of St Cuthbert being stol ...

Thanks for posting the maps. I see similarities when you factor in the map scale. Isn't the Silver Key map 8 miles to an inch with the other around 20 or 24 miles to a hex?

850+ items submitted with 32 advancing tomorrow at 3PM eastern time.

Did anybody besides me and Gargoyle end up submitting an item?

Submitted a low cost, general utility Summoning item myself ...

Amazon is great and usually my first choice for individual items or a few new items.

Paizo allows themselves quite a few days (Up to 9 or 10) before having the shipping agent pick them up for del ...

I don't believe the Non Interference Pact would include Aspects they are in several source books like the Minatures Handbook. Their power is scaled down quite a bit basically a few random thoughts or ...

Yes it really was just $2 so I stocked up and ordered a bunch of supplements for myself for Christmas Sunday evening to tide me over while I scope out 4E. Great price but Paizo is a little slow with ...

I would disagree since Greyhawk does not have modern transportation.

IMO Furyondy's primary concern would be Iuz, rebuilding the northern borders and maintaing diplomatic ties with Furyondy's ally ...

If you use Den of Thieves that gives the Lord Mayor an unknown son in one of the city gangs (already has an unknown daughter (waitress)).

Thankful for Canonfire supporting the grittier Greyhawk setting since it should have something for everyone. Particularly like Furyondy, Greyhawk, Verbobonc and the Grand Duchy of Geoff.

Agree i ...

Vecna Lives has most of the stats for the Circle of Eight.

Sorry, I'm just happy to find NPC stats regardless of the edition for a general point in time since it provides a nice baseline for tweaking them to taste for a campaign.

Return of the Eight provided stats on Tuerney the Merciless (Nalfeshnee), Jallarzi Sallavarian, Tenser, Warnes Starcoat, Theodain Eriason, Hautna Masq, Alhamazad the Wise along with a basic write up o ...

Nice translation program.

Pretty much anywhere you want that works for your campaign. Lots of choices.

Thanks Thanael, I had the house on Summoner Court but wasn't aware of those PRG resources.

I liked it mostly for the history and a little more canon. Nobody should argue about the price (free). Downloaded both pdfs to compare the quality and got rid of the larger file sized pdf.

90% of the poplulation lives in Thorps, Hamlets and Villages where you generally find fortified manors, border towers and the occassional keep.

Using the average DMG standard demographics fortific ...

You might find the Ad&D 9515, Den of Thieves as a pdf for $4 -$5 useful since it really has a Greyhawk feel and it could save you some time reinventing the wheel.

I'd suggest the Viscounty of the March along the Crystal River since you don't seem to want to put it in the former occupied lands of the Barony of Kalinstren or the County of Crystal Reach where most ...

Have you heard about this? Paizo is doing a design contest: http://paizo.com/rpgsuperstar . First round is wondrous items. Anyone else submitting? Good luck to all!

I hadn't heard. Thanks for ...

Some of the Living Greyhawk web sites had some good information like Furyondy, Veluna and Nyrond but I haven't checked them out in a while.

Here's a link to Nyrond:

Tenser and Cymaria from Vecna Lives.

Thanks for the update regarding the second chapter. Hard to beat the price right now.

I agree most of the points of light are just fluffling out the descriptions in the FRCS source book and expounding on the dark unknown wilderness aspect.

Wizard's probably referred to the FRCS so ...

Most of what the typical NPC thorp, hamlet or village needs and can afford is covered by the DM enforcing the existing rules.

Most of those NPC commoners are making around a silver piece a day. ...

Craftsmen would be pretty constrained also. Most villages aren't generally self sufficient in all crafts and certainly don't have the demand that will support full fledged elite craftsmen. With ...

IMO your Greyhawk God List Standard appears quite arbitrary by including some later canon God additons but not others mentioned by your own canon standards.

After reading your posts IMO this boar ...

Maybe I shouold have referenced the source for the Hero Gods AD&D 9578 Greyhawk Player's Guide page 20 which should meet your canon requirement.

I found a Magic Medieval Society (Land Grant/Manorial Economics and Fleshing out spellcasting PCs and urban centers, additionally cited building costs seem more realistic) and the Village of Briartown ...

Some missing Hero Gods include Daern, Johydee, Keoghtom and Murlynd.

I agree with you it's a canon error (There are products like the Marklands which state you can find settlements at intervals of 5-8 miles along primary roads and every 10-12 miles along secondary road ...

You're Welcome Sorry I wasn't able to help.

With the Barony of Littleberg you could go either way as he is just listed as Baron Jemian for the province ruler listing in the Marklands and LGG BUT under Furyondy Characters and Forces page 40 of t ...

The Living Greyhawk Gazetteer on page 46 has a few interesting bits of information.

Have to disagree had the money to burn but after sitting down and reveiwing the numerous pages of the new DMGII page by page with the only thing really recommending it for purchase IMO are the pages d ...

Very Nice Site.

How about the Justicars from Tome and Blood or Complete Warrior?

Basically the same map. Fate of Istus slightly larger and lists 30 places on the map. Marklands same map but only lists 17 of 30 locastions but Marklands had a lot of excellent information on Furyon ...

Particularly in 3/3.5 with lessened God Sensing Blocking. I don't see Incublos or Nerull spending years wasting one of their 20 blocking usages constantly hiding a mortal prince. Maybe just me but I ...

I find it hard to conceive with the resources available to Nobles in Furyondy and Veluna along with non nobles who want to be Nobles or have access to that political power would not devote resources t ...

IMO the following particularly if playing over a campaign lasting years to decades: From the Ashes boxed set, Marklands, Living Greyhawk Gazetteer, 9578 Greyhawk Player's Guide* by Anne Brown, Return ...

IMO Cambion (Half Demon) more closely translates to Half-Fiend than Tiefling in 3/3.5.
