[QUOTE="Thanael, post: 5256146, member: 22734"] I'm not sure if I understand why you distinguish between Living Greyhawk and Greyhawk. LG had very few publications, but of course it built upon the Greyhawk material available. The first book that comes to mind is the [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Living_Greyhawk_Gazetteer]Living Greyhawk Gazetteer[/url] (LGG), which is [i]the[/i] 3E publication that gives a broad overview of the setting. There was also the excellent [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Living_Greyhawk_Journal]Living Greyhawk Journal [/url] (LGJ). Issues 0 to 5 were published separately, the rest was folded into Dragon and later Dungeon magazine. [url=http://www.wizards.com/rpga/downloads/LGJcircleof8pdf.zip]Part of issue #0 is available for free[/url]. These are all 3rd Edition. There are also several useful pdfs available online for LGH, most notably the [url=http://files.meetup.com/349156/Living%20Greyhawk%20Dieties.pdf]Living Greyhawk Deities document[/url] and the [url=http://files.meetup.com/47273/Living%20Greyhawk%20Sourcebook%20596CY.pdf]Living Greyhawk Campaign Sourcebook[/url] which has their houserules and clarifications. Every LG site had more material on their respective sites with interesting but specialized info. The LG modules alas are not readily available anywhere. There are some nice LG articles available on WotC site in the [url=http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=lg/arch/dndlg]Complete Living Greyhawk Archives[/url]. As for general Greyhawk setting material aside form the LGG and LGJ the main sources are mostly 2E material. Here are a few threads about what sources are best: [url=http://www.canonfire.com/cfhtml/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=819&]Canonfire! Forums-viewtopic-Which Modules(accessories) make for the best Canon[/url] [url=http://www.canonfire.com/cfhtml/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=550&highlight=living+ivid+greyhawk]Canonfire! Forums-viewtopic-Essential 2E Greyhawk products.[/url] There's also a lot of great material available for free on the internet. Some examples: WGR7 Ivid the Undying is an unpublished sourcebook that WotC has made available for free. It details the Great Kingdom and there's a polished pdf version available [url=http://www.io.com/~wmallman/ivid.html]here[/url]. [url=http://www.Oerthjournal.com]The Oerth Journal[/url] has the fanmade Oerthjournal magazine with which Erik Mona started his publishing career.
