    Welcome, Silvermane!

    And, in support of Cebrion's point above, Sir Xaris the Paladin was my first character (which I began while DMing 😉).

    Well met, Silvermane. It will be my posting mission to get you to return to 2nd Edition. Cool

    All the same, welcome aboard, and I look forward to your future posts (find me prowling 2e forum a lot...).

    I actually reacquired the 2E core rulebooks last year. When I first played D&D, I used the "Black Book" 2E rulebooks, which I sold off in the transition to 3E in 2000. I found the original covers secondhand on the interwebs in 2018, including the Monstrous Compendium box!

    Hi Ralf!

    Welcome aboard. Your post made me realise that I have never introduced myself here!

    Prefer not to give too many personal details but I am in the UK & started playing in the early 1980's with the Basic rules Red Box (so, Mentzer, I think).

    I was lurking here for quite a few years before I started actually posting about this time last year!

    I did a bit of D&D growing up, but didn't get seriously involved (with a long-running, regular group) until 5th edition, about 5 years ago. I only really got into Greyhawk a couple of years ago, starting by chasing down references to Tharizdun, and quickly found myself buying up a bunch of books...

    Searching for Tharizdun lead you to Greyhawk. Very Cthulu-esque. Laughing

    Thank you again for your welcome,
    I've already started to dig and indeed many interesting sources intersect here.
    They give me a lot of material for my elucubrations.
    By the way, I plan to create a GreyHawk thread on my site, and, I was wondering if there is somewhere to explain what is my margin of maneuver in this regard (copyrights, creations, etc. ...).
    Especially since I don't necessarily intend to follow the official line : I play in 576CY, and there are already some nuances in my campaign with From The Asches due to the elements I want to make players play. I don't know anything about copyright on the subject, and, as a result, I know nothing about my freedom of maneuver.
    A good day to all

    Salutations.

    Greg is the name in the realm of Mortals.
    This husk in which I reside has seen 53 years.
    I began this love/hate relationship with D&D with First edition, in USMC boot camp of all places in 1985.

    Over the years I’ve played, and lost a few good friends. You might call them “characters”.
    Sporadically a DM, but not a great one.
    When my last, great character died, (unfairly of course), I wanted nothing further to do with this annoying game.
    After much Jack Daniels, and no small amount of begging, my crew convinced me to rejoin the party. I rolled up the most annoying character I could possibly contrive. Darromere Draveneh, a female drow F/M/T. Figuring she would die quickly and they’d leave me alone. After a change sex curse and no small amount of crazy luck, she has become Reximus Starstrider. Leader of the Valley of the Mage. Lord of the Daoin Enial. (House of Stars), Master of the Abbey of the Night Tiger.

    After all this time, it is good to come to this place and continue the story.
    Reximus has returned.
    My son, 24 and daughter 20, now play in this realm. One must keep a close eye on ones kin.

    Welcome to Canonfire! Ranxaeroth, and well met! Smile

    It sounds like there is a fine tradition of Greyhawk in your family. My own children and I are about the same age as you and yours. I raised my kids on D&D and they turned out well-tempered to face the challenges of the real world after the difficult challenges they have overcame in the World of Greyhawk. Happy

    Hey everyone

    I've been involved in a campaign which my brother ran of the 5E Ghosts of Saltmarsh - since we finished that I took over DMing and moved the campaign to Gradsul. This site has been SO helpful in me learning about Greyhawk - such a rich history and interesting setting. Figured I'd finally sign up here and say hi!

    Hello! I did introduce myself on the discord yesterday (Thank you to PS for helping me get the account created)


    First Name Mike
    Age 47
    Location Wash DC
    When you started playing D&D? mid 80's, can't recall the year
    What rules you started with? big box from a garage sale that came with the white box, red box, 1e along with dozens of other books and modules. We didn't really play well because it was rules overload and we didn't understand it back then, but I did fall in love with greyhawk

    where does your Forum Nick come from? My motorcycle is a Honda Shadow Ace and the name kind of fits this hobby where things lurk in the shadows!

    First Name? Daryl
    Age? 45
    Location? Rural west TN
    When you started playing D&D? Early 80s, older cousin and brother needed a third to play a module.
    What rules you started with? I remember making my first character with the red basic box in 1988
    where does your Forum Nick come from? It originally came from a character I created in EverQuest because I got tired of my guild mates not making any decisions so I made an anachronism from a famous saying.
