    Wonderful work Frank!

    I'm finally up to speed again, so I'll be able to work on this so you can concentrate on schooling. I'm actually attempting to get some schooling done this winter as well, so this won't be a superfast thing, but we'll get it done soon in any event.

    I'll try to get some of your questions answered this weekend, then maybe I'll run some things by the Canonfire staff.

    Thanks again, and good luck with the thesis!

    Alright, I found you!

    Hi all-
    Sorry for the delay.
    Wanna give me a synopsis of what you've got and such? I have too much homework to read all the posts.

    Here's some magazines I have that have AD&D and such, I don't know if this is what you're looking for or not.

    Adventurer Magazine (RoleMasters/AD&D UK mag)
    Asgard Magazine
    Campaign Magazine (d20)

    Greetings Issak!

    The idea was to list any articles in periodicals which contained Greyhawk content. Our list so far (which still certainly has some holes) can be found here:

    http://www.stud.uni-hannover.de/~dyck/GHList.html

    It's almost exclusively Dragon, Dungeon, and Polyhedron so far, so any other magazines you've got which contain Greyhawk content (or any issues we've missed of these three mags) would be wonderful additions, and we'll certainly credit you with lots of assistance. We know we're missing lots from Polyhedron. Any articles not in Dragon/Dungeon/Poly are listed at the bottom in the "Other" section (more sections could definitely be added if several articles exist).

    Aside from these 3 mags, I think you list a lot that we're missing. We've already got Shadis #50 and Vortex (which we've got as #8???), but it looks like these might be the only overlap.

    As for the "Other neat things" you list, most of those look like great additions! Any info you can provide is MUCH appreciated. We're trying to include some info about each article to make it easier for DMs to determine which ones they want to track down. Please see the link above for samples of the info we've been giving. Anything you can throw our way would be great.

    Thanks much for your input!

    I just found out that this page here...

    http://hometown.aol.com/dmwog/boccob.html

    ...is the exact Boccob article from Polyhedron #128.
    So perhaps we can include the link.

    Also Procan (Poly 130):
    http://hometown.aol.com/alfmar/procan.html

    St.Cuthbert (Poly 129):
    http://hometown.aol.com/alfmar/cuthbert.html

    Perhaps this is Eric Boyds homepage?
    http://hometown.aol.com/dmwog/powers.html
    I can`t compare/confirm the others that are on the page, as i don`t ahve those Polyhedrons but maybe those are the missing ones?

    Interesting...well, it's not all of them, as Cyndor isn't a link. The site indicates it's Jeffrey C. Pettengill, but the bottom of the Wee Jas article states "Thanks to Eric L. Boyd for assistance with this article", so it looks like you were on the right track. Great sleuthing!

    Also, I somehow completely spaced the older issues of Poly that I've got, so I'll look through those.

    I`ve been thinking about the LGJ articles.

    I think we should put the LGJ index in as a separate chapter and/or integrate them with the Dragon and Dungeon listings.
    (We already have some LGJ articles in the Dungeon index but without noting that they`re from the LGJ part, as i mixed them while compiling from the Pen & Paper index.)

    Just to have everything complete in one document!

    I think you'd have to run that one by the Canonfire staff, since we'd be co-opting a listing they're already hosting...

    Yeah, them and Creighton Broadhurst. ButI`m sure they will agree.
    We can also try to update that index then.

    What do think about it? Should we add it as a section? Should we (also) include it in the dragon/dungeon listing? I`m for the former. Not usre about the latter.

    Also we should go through the Dragon and Dungeon listings and filter out the LGJ entries and tag them as LGJ or edit them out.

    Issak, we`re looking only for magazine articles. So do any of those you list have any Greyhawk related ones?

    The Wee Jas article says "Thanks to Eric L. Boyd" because it's an uncredited exact copy of my article from OJ#7, which Eric was kind enough to proofread.

    Check the credits on that article. Creighton and chatdemon, the latter of whom I can promise will be less than thrilled about granting permission to use the updates he did to that article if he isn't given due credit for them in the first place.

    Rest assured, we've been making it a priority to credit everyone who's helped out, link to the original sources, etc. We'd ask permission before assimilation, and definitely give credit where it's due.

    Unfortunately, I've been busy trying to get funding for school so this hasn't moved forward at all under my watch. I should be able to work on it again soon though...right after I complete my postfest entries. :-)

    This was Rob Kuntz's article, reprinted in full on CF! at http://www.canonfire.com/cf/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=117

    Can you give us a brief blurp for this one? (We have it listed as #8?!?)[/quote]

    It is issue #8, dated Spring 1993. The adventure background reads:

    Quote:
    A once peaceful trade route recently has been subjected to countless attacks by mysterious brigands. Survivors of the earlier raids reported that various humanoids (gnolls, bugbears, and ogres) were among them and were led by humans. Most of the brigands were garbed in armor and clothing of crimson color. These bandits were described as exteremely violent and hostile, and attacked in an almost berserk-like fashion; those who escaped the slaughter are sure that spellcasters are among the brigands.

    The most recent attack was beaten off with heavy losses, but valuable information was gained. One of the slain brigand leaders was wearing a rust colored robe over his armor adn a strange blood drop-shaped pendant around his neck. The investigating authorities are fairly certain that the bandits are followers of the despicable god Erythnul. Fearing that any further delay will lead to more raiding and a strengthening of this cult, the officals are seeking volunteers to find the bandits' hold and destroy them. A healthy reward will be offered (money or minor magic, at the DM's discretion), and any other loot found in the lair may be kept for completing this dangerous task.


    Hope that helps :D

    So basiliv,
    I`m available again. Let`s finish this index.
    What`s still to do?
    We have to finish the formatting put in some links and credits where credits are due and that`s it, right?

    Sorry for the delay, I broke my arm so typing has been a challenge.

    Here's what I think still needs to be done:

    - Provide links to the original resources
    - Give credit as appropriate
    - Decide some of the questions which are still in red text on your page (or at least remove that text)
    - Either leave out the LGJ material or ask those who created the Canonfire list if we can incorporate their material
    - Update the list with the most current issues, like the Istivin stuff, the map, etc.
    - We have yet to hear from any of the Canonfire staff on how this will be updated once it's posted. We need word on this so we know going forward.

    I think that's it.

    I recently recieved a request for permission to use my additions to that index via email from Thanael, and have no problem with such use. Just give a little "shout out" to me and Creighton (after securing his permission, of course) and it should be ok.

    I would probably say.. emails to the editors list with any update. Thats probably the easiest way...

    In case anyone's still working on this stuff, I've updated my GH Dungeon Magazine list, though I still need to backfill items that folks mentioned earlier in the thread.

    Thanks Grodog!

    I got wrapped up in school (and it's not really fair to make Thanael do all the work), so this got temporarily shelved, but I plan on resurrecting it this Fall.

    Incidientally, I'm in school for Database Admin work, so if sending a small Access database or something for this is easier that would be cake for me to whip out. Working on my MCDBA, so I'm pretty decent at anything database oriented.

    Whatever will make life easiest for the Admins on this. In any event, it'll be a couple more months to finish up and get settled into some sort of a career before I can really work on this periodicals listing again. So you gots time.

    Canonfire uses PHP and MYSQL, so if you can convert the access db into mysql and provide a simple php script for accessing the data, that would probably be the easiest method.

    IMO, though, presenting the data as a neatly formatted HTML document would probably be ideal, and easier, since that would allow the site's search feature to find information in the index.

    Thanks for the update Thanael. I'll check out what gaps you've still got, since I've amassed a fair number of additional magazines in the past year.
