I used mostly published or web resources and adapted them. Some of it is taking an idea from those sources and really runnign with it, taking it to an extreme or logical conclusion. Posy's sorcerous origin was like that, which led to her having a great-great-great grandma Bonicka.
There is a great write up on Verbobonc at
Viscounty and Free Town of Verbobonc, and the gnomish, dwarvish, and halflings cultural things are taken from the Dragon magazine issues on those races.
Dizzyboff is a game from the Dragon Magazine article on gnome games.
The halfling funeral and the general atmosphere of Raddo's death come from both Dragon Magazine and personal experience.
I like those articles a lot, not necessarily because I agree with them all, but they at least show some level of consistency with the idea of a particular race and attack it intelligently. I enjoyed the gnome issue quite a bit because it really coincided with my idea of Posy's upbringing.
The next installments kind of take an un-Greyhawkian lurch, because the new DM didn't have a framework from Greyhawk to work with, but it's not a bad thing. He and I worked together to shoehorn his adventure into the Kron Hills area. I'm going over to his place tonight, so I might be able to get an installment in really soon.
