I don't mind the hijack and I appreciate the answers!

Does anyone know if it's been listed with some of the events to prophesize the beginning of the age of worms is? I'd love to work that more int ...

Hi All,

I started running a campaign that I've always wanted to: Age of Worms! It's the Adventure Path from Dungeon. It involves Kyuss and goes from levels 1-20. If anyone has run it, I have s ...

Niole Dra! A map is a must by Mike Schley.

Gradsul is my 2nd choice. Ditto on the map.

The Sheldomar Valley is its own microcosm and the central influencer of Keoland, Niole Dra, needs its own ...

The Hold of the Sea Princes is a great importer of slaves. Port Tavi is one of the largest slave markets in the Flannaess. I have the Pirates of the Sea Princes raiding shipping and taking crew as s ...

Does anyone have any non-ghoul caster undead? Priestly, preferably. I'm just not sure what I want to go with.

Wow! That is definitely some Ghoul-tastic stuff! I can see myself using some of that.

Hi All,

I am nearing the end of my campaign and I always had it that there is a hidden temple to Vecna buried in the nearby hills. It hold the Sword of Kas, which was found by those who worship th ...

I have enjoyed the new rules. I'm sick of the party campaign just because the wizard ran out of fireball spells.

I want to run a prequel one-shot to set up some basis for why Saltmarsh is special. The idea I had centres around Iuz or Iggwilv somehow being responsible for the cursed siren that makes the township ...

Hi Delglath.
I'm contemplating acquiring Ghosts of Saltmarsh in order to see if I like 5e, but the reviews I've read suggest that the Iuz connection feels strained, so I have wondered about replacin ...

I did find out one thing that I need a little help with. One of the Arcane Brotherhood is neutral and can be a patron for the party. They are from a famous wizard family (Harpell). I'm trying ...

"Frostbrother" sounds a little hippie. Andy Miller offers some aliases in Dr265: Father Frost, The Ice Man, The Frostbite Lord, Walker of the Wastes, Master of the North Wind.

Oh, I do have to admi ...

For Blackmoor, there is just enough lore and just enough civilization there to have me not use it. I think it's better to grab some spot of nowhere that would fit better.

If you're looking for th ...

If you don't want to use a flying city, how about using a city in a demiplane? That has a more Greyhawk feel to it.

The city has some magic on hit that allows controlling the weather. It is stron ...

For anyone interested in the plot, I can summarize:

- Cold god blocks off Ten Towns with very little traffic in and out. Always night and always cold. Been this way for 2 years.

- Duergar Warl ...

Blackmoor seems like the obvious place to put Ten-Towns. It's to the extreme northwest, one of the coldest places in the Flanaess, on the edge of civilization, barbarians nearby (the Zeai), plenty of ...

Thanks everyone! It looks good to have the Harvest Church being mad with the Icebrother and he's hiding out around Ten Towns. I'm not even sure that the players figure out why the other gods are ma ...

Hello,

I've searched the forum and either my search-fu is terrible, or I didn't find a single mention of this on the forums. So, I am hoping to perhaps get some help from the good folk of Canonfi ...

Are you on the Canonfire discord chat server? If so, one of the players (aurdraco) has set his campaign in Seaton and might have a map to share with you.

Not yet, I'm not! I'll have to dig up the ...

Yes, I had seen that and found it not as enlightening as I thought it would.

Thanks!

Hello All,

I am unable to find any maps of Seaton available. There is one listed on Canonfire, but it is a thumb pic with a dead link to a bigger map. It would be perfect, but it is a dead link. ...

Bardic Colleges in the Flanaess

There are eight bardic colleges within the Flanaess: Fochlucan,
MacFuirmidh, Doss, Canaith, Cli, Anstruth, Ollamh, and Magna
Alumnae.

There's quite a bit more ...

Hi All. I tried Google and the search function here, but couldn't find ANY info on Bard colleges or schools. Is there anything like that?

Basically, I am trying to fast forward the timeline for ...

I put it in Furyondy on the border with the Horned Society. Taking the players through Iuz's return and the Greyhawk Wars. Started off with King Belvor IV trying to start a Norrthern Crusade, but th ...

I see it based purely on alignment. Followers of Ehlonna would kill a bear or mountain lion to save a child while followers of Obad-Hai would celebrate the predator in gaining a meal.

Also, I ne ...

In the background for the game, they talk about Iuz and how he came about. The Kingdom of Furyondy was rife with tension beforehand and after. There are a couple of paragraphs of Furyondy politics a ...

Thanks for that!

I found Steve Wilson's GreyChrondex that seems to be the best timeline. In it, CY 577 has Iuz commissioning 40 Galleys, and King Belvor raiding them in CY 578. So, they know some ...

For me it was all about cohesion. The world made sense.

I started in the 80's when the boxed set came out and I had a hard time going through a lot of the campaign set as a kid. I didn't have t ...

Hi Guys,

I'm taking my son and friends through a campaign that is based in Furyondy and leads up to the Greyhawk Wars. There have been tidbits that get them thinking that maybe Iuz is back, but al ...

I'd like to know how much the sci-fi stuff is in it. I don't mind a bit, but the old module had some campaign breaking equipment.

These may offer some further options to investigate: http://www.greyhawkonline.com/grodog/gh_sites.html

Allan.

Thanks!

So far the hero-gods have been good for a few nights. My son was in ...

Hope your kids like it, too!

We were at a local RPG convention (small one) and one of the other guys asked how I got my kid into it when his wasn't' interested. My son responded, "because I'm smar ...

How cool are you as a dad Shocked

I got Princess and the pea

Thanks! I try to be the coolest Dad.

Hi,

I read these to my son for bed time stories. I read all the ones from Greyhawk Adventures and the WotC website. Are more somewhere. Maybe in Polyhydreon?

I started with Greyhawk when it was the only option. I was a kid and I had a hard time with making some of it live in my head. I was swayed by the Forgotten Realms for many years due to the flavor o ...

I tend to think that your occupation and location lend a lot to who you worship. Also, the idea of a pantheon is that various gods cover different aspects of society. No one god is the end all be al ...

Certain gods (Pholtus and St. Cuthbert come to mind) tend to be demi-monotheistic, though. Their followers tend to be much more distrustful of the other gods, as part of the strict dogma of those gods ...

On the way back, I did Mordenkainen's House of Chocolate.

I started a campaign with my middle school aged son and his friend (plus one dad that hadn't played in 20 years). They didn't know anything about DnD and nothing about Greyhawk. I figured I would ma ...

I could've sworn that I read this adventure at some point. Or thumbed through it. I thought it was in a Dragon Magazine, but older than when I started my subscription (which was around 75?). It was ...

Oh, man! I wish I had seen this. I took my son to GenCon for his first gaming convention. He's 13 and been playing DnD for about 2 years now. I've started him on Greyhawk, but he does do some Ad ...

I would think that a lot of details depends on how high/low fantasy the setting is. If there are tons of flying monsters and magic used then I could see at least one wizard per ship on board, as well ...

They do love YouTube, and even some of us oldies love it too! Don't underestimate how long videos can take to film, edit, upload etc., but it's a really gratifying product to make (and to hear one's ...

In the final analysis of the Greyhawk Wars, it is not clear how much combat Keoland actually saw. One of the big mysteries is what did the massive force mobilized by the Treaty of Niole Dra do while ...

Security is crazy tight. I'd get fired for plugging in a thumb drive or even to charge my phone.

I would like for it to happen, but part of it has to deal with spare time. The longest stretches of spare time for me are actually at work. My projects go in cycles and sometimes I find myself with ...

Also, there are a few plot summaries in some of the wizards LG news articles, for example the Bright Sands writeup here:

Thanks for that one! I didn't know about it.

It would be nice to even have a paragraph per year of major themes for each kingdom. Of course, more is better, but just having a summary would be nice.
This sounds like a community project or wik ...

Sorry about your space bar, but thanks so much for the write up! I'll admit that wuth all the LG stuff to look through, I probably would've taken a while to look at the Bandit Kingdoms. Getting to r ...

Thanks everyone. I do appreciate it.

I do have the majority of LG modules, which is exactly what I wanted early on. I have a lifetime of material at this point. I don't think I can publicly shar ...

Hi All,

I have most of the LG stuff. I found the LG unofficial Bandit Kingdom booklet that has a great summary of all the BK plot lines. Is there anything even remotely similar for other areas or ...

That works! Thanks!

Since people are actually responding here, are there current and working links to the Journals? All of them?

Also remember that if the PCs are being sponsored by one of the various nearby nations, that their sponsors may specifically be seeking the artifact, too. Some ruminations and ideas on this @ http: ...

So....all links seem broken. Where can I find an index with old links?

Excellent info! Thanks so much for all of it. It helps a lot. That other thread was very helpful.

Hi All,

I'm running a classic Greyhawk campaign for my son and his friends as their first campaign. It's set before Greyhawk Wars in Furyondy with a lot of stuff about Iuz and Iggwilv. They went ...

What I mean is that Greyhawk was developed before Hobgoblins were allowed to have levels. So, you generally had to have evil humans (or something from the PHB) running the show to make it an epic lev ...

The Horned Society is probably the largest chunk of Hobgoblins. Before Iuz took over, it was high level humans posing as devils that controlled them. After Iuz came back, he wiped out the Hiearchs a ...

I do have one question. If I were going to start the campaign with the characters going to Keep on the Borderlands for an abortive attack on the Horned Society.....where would a Dwarf come from? The ...

I think there's a canonical reference to various imposters appearing in the Land of Iuz during Iuz's incarceration, and the thread then speculates on the nature of these imposters. Some of the prolif ...

There isn't a list of Dungeon adventures that take place in Greyhawk, is there? I mean, they almost all COULD be in GH, but it would be nice to have an official list.

I hate to say it, but the biggest success they can have is with the Drizz't storyline. I'm sure if they milked it right, it would be a big success.

@Armitage: Thanks! I'll take a look. I don't mind missing mediocre, but not knowing is frustrating.

Hi All,

I find the 3 options for Warlocks a bit wanting in the PHB. Any good ideas as to what else a player can pick as a patron? Any good ideas on what powers?

So far, I'm thinking Elementa ...

Sounds good. What part will the party play in things?

It actually looks pretty easy. Did you have any particular spells in mind??

I didn't but it does seem easy. I was just thinking of some of the spells of the named Circle of 8 guys. Nothing too po ...

That's a bit more refined then what I was going to say. I pretty much recall the picture of them in the 1E Monster Manual showed them as Japanese, but was there anything else that really made them "o ...

OK....I have to throw in my thoughts, especially as someone coming in late to Greyhawk and trying to figure out all the little details. I've played Greyhawk as a player through a number of campaigns. ...

OH, excellent! So, my plan does sound alright to a Greyhawk native. Fantastic. I appreciate the advice!

Hi Guys,

I've posted a bunch of different threads trying to formulate my idea of an overall campaign that I'm going to run. I've not run in Greyhawk before and I've not even played since 3.5 E. I ...

I know there are some Greyhawk specific spells that have been published in a few places in the past. Has anyone done any 5th Ed conversions? Are they worth it?

Thanks everyone!

I think I'll place the Keep in the County of Crystalreach before the Greyhawk Wars. I'll put it either north of Grabford or east along the river. I'll have the Keep be a waystop ...

Thanks guys.

Nice!

I'd just be happy with a list of dieties and their info. I want them all, not just the ones in the book.
