Not a lot of note, although some of the gods of Greyhawk’s weaponry are polearms: Nerull’s scythe, Life Cutter Hextor’s military fork Wastri’s glance-guisarm Xerbo’s trident Allan.

A few immediately come to mind: Kerzit, from WG5/Maure Castle the list of named demon lords/ladies (and princes/princesses) in the MM2; I played with many of these in my Abyssal genealogy article at Canonfire! - Excerpts from The Demonomicon Of Iggwilv: Abyssal Genealogy (but that’s nearly...

Quick correction: this is from the City of Greyhawk boxed set (1989), not from the 1983 setting boxed set: Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Archive Allan.

David was a no-go, alas. Allan.

Many of the classic TSR pregens are available at Guy Fullerton’s blog at Old School Pregenerated Character Library but it doesn’t look like S1 or S3 pregens are there. Some DF discussion at Printable Pregenerated Character Library - Dragonsfoot suggests David Prata has them statted out, I’ll...

Age of Worms is probably my favorite of the full APs published in the Paizohawk era (although I’ve not read Savage Tide in depth), despite me not being a huge fan of Kyuss as he’s presented (too much overlap with Vecna for my taste). I really like the wide variety of locations across The...

Dave’s article was truncated when it appeared in the boxed set. Dragon 68 also included a cardstock 3-panel screen for using the weather tables/rules from the article. I’ve not compared the screen to the 1983 box to see if the edits made the screen only useful with the original article’s full...

No worries! If you’d like to share any thoughts via email or PM, I am curious! If there’s feedback that I can pass to the team to help on the language front, I’d be happy to do so—their intention is to be welcoming to players new to Greyhawk who are basically seeing it for the first time from...

How so? Allan.

I was never a big fan of this set either. It didn’t feel like Greyhawk to me—far more RenFaire than gritty. It certainly didn’t match the style or tone from Gygax’s Gord stories and novels. Those richly detail the city, and are summarized by Krista Siren at The Greyhawk Lands - Greyhawk Online...

Free fan-published update to the 5.5 DMG Greyhawk gazetteer chapter: https://www.dmsguild.com/product/503532/World-of-Greyhawk-Gazetteer-Revised Allan.

FWIW, the Bottle City level of Castle Greyhawk (designed by Gygax’s co-DM, Rob Kuntz) was inspired by the Bottle City of Kandor from the comics, and Marvel comics influenced the artwork of the early OD&D brown box sets, so comics were definitely in the air at early TSR. Lenard Lakofka...

This is a good point, to which I would add that some groups of elves in Greyhawk are isolationist toward humans/etc. (Celene), while others espouse a more-engaged strategy (Prince Melf). However even that’s not the particularly unique aspect (insert Tolkien’s Finrod Felagund as Melf’s side…)...

I wrote about this a couple of years ago, summing up Greyhawk’s lasting appeal (in my eyes) as: Greyhawk as a sandbox campaign setting Greyhawk as a place of adventure inspiration and expansion Greyhawk's fan community helps to keep the spirit of Greyhawk alive and relevant to today's...

I’m definitely curious to hear more about your thoughts, now that the DMG content is out there, and also what specifically about Greyhawk turns you off—whether the new stuff, Gygax’s stuff, etc. Allan.

I’ve done an A-B comparison of the two sets of runes—which both overlap and differ in some cases—and have that posted at https://www.greyhawkonline.com/grodog/temp/gh_runes.pdf I’ve also significantly expanded on the runes offered, to include gods and demon princes, and many more concepts...

Excellent! I’m glad that’s useful :) I also have a copy of the old Starmont House book, A Gazetteer of the Hyborian World of Conan by Lee N. Falconer, which is quite good! Allan.

I’ll have to look, but my recollection matches yours. There’s some high-level summary info about the Conan line at Conan Archive and the two Conan 1e modules at Conan the Barbarian (CB) Series Modules And there’s always Hyborian Age d20 Campaign Site - hyboria.xoth.net and xoth.net publishing -...

Sounds like fun! My Primes are sketched out at Planar Architecture for grodog's Current Greyhawk Campaigns Allan.

The Norse and Greek pantheons (and probably Egyptian too) were part of the original Greyhawk campaign in Lake Geneva, so they’re definitely a “good fit” in Oerth. I have the Greek (and Norse, although they have not been encountered in-game yet) as invasive pantheons proselytizing in the...
