Just recently stumbled onto this forum, so please forgive me if this is covered somewhere and I haven't found it yet but...
When I first started roleplaying back in college some 10 years ago, my GM ran 2ED greyhawk games and I became pretty attached to the setting as a player. Since then I've gone on to run games in a handful of different systems but always in homegrown fantasy worlds, and personally devised adventures.
Now I've decided that regardless of what system I run, I want to base my games in Greyhawk. I'm getting too old and busy to do the work required for quality world building _and_ adventure creating, especially when the fantastic world of greyhawk and the old TOEE, Slavers, Against the Giants, etc are sitting out there waiting for me and my players.
Unfortunatly, I don't have ANY greyhawk materials. On top of that, a quick search on Greyhawk tells me that there are a half dozen different references out there. World of Greyhawk boxset, Greyhawk Player's Guide, Greyhawk Adventures, From the Ashes boxset, etc etc etc.
So for all you GH afficianados out there, what is/are the essential GH references I should find/buy/steal to run a game in GH? I don't care if the rules are 1e, 2e, 3 or 3.5e. I'm prone to switching off between GURPS and DnD anyway so the fluffy parts are much more important than the crunchy parts. What are the essential texts for someone planning on running campaigns (and probably long term ones) in Greyhawk.
Thanks,
James.
