Bump, for visibility for folks looking for this SH after I mentioned it on Twitch tonight. Allan.

Yes, it'll be available on YouTube and I think also as a video on the Twitch channel too (will confirm with Carlos and let you all know). Allan.

You can watch by going to the Twitch.TV channel at the correct time: The chat/discussion begins at 8pm EDT and is open to the public :D Allan.

Carlos Lising invited me to his CaslTawk chat session tomorrow night. The topic of the hour?: the Witch Queen of Perrenland, demons, and the World of Greyhawk! If you're curious, details are on my blog @ grodog talking Iggwilv in Greyhawk on caslTawk @ Monday night 8pm EDT See you then! Allan.

You may be thinking of this discussion Gabor "Melan" Lux posted in 2006?: Dungeon layout, map flow and old school game design or perhaps this one?: Would these maps make for a fun dungeon adventure? ?? Other good discussions about mega-dungeon design are largely off-site: Knights & Knaves...

Some news and updates on Saving Throw: 1. Thank you for your generous support of this project!---Saving Throw has been as high as #3 on the DriveThruRPG.com best sellers list this week, outpacing both Eclipe Phase 2nd Edition and Legend of the Five Rings! That wouldn't have been possible...

Shrinkwrap and I are not friends ;) Allan.

Totally understandable, @David Howery --- games are meant to played, after all, rather than cherished in shrinkwrap behind 2" of vacuum-sealed clear plastic display boxes ;) Allan.

The original folio maps are 36"x24" each, while the later boxed set maps are smaller. Paul Stormberg mentioned the dimensions in discussion on Dragonsfoot many moons ago: When aligned with the overlap, the combined map size reduces somewhat to 36"x44.5" but the folio maps hanging on my office...

The OSRIC "Saving Throw" zine project is announced and live on DriveThruRPG. Details are @ Saving Throw fundraiser fanzine for James D. Kramer - Saving Throw Fanzine | DriveThruRPG.com I have some personal reflections about Jim on my blog @ Saving Throw - new OSRIC zine to support Usherwood...

I can certainly talk to Mike Mearls about it at GaryCon if you'd like, Rob? Allan.

I'm in the process of starting up a local Greyhawk campaign and am running AD&D 1e for the rules set, and had 14 players respond to the survey saying they were interested, and four of them had zero experience with Greyhawk, and 2 zero experience with D&D in general. So, the interest is...

To be clear: I see the options for races and classes in a campaign as tools to shape that campaign and what makes it different from other campaigns in the same setting, or in different settings: If I run a Lankhmar-style campaign in the Free City of Dyvers, where the PCs are all members (or...

Another general comment/response about what is/isn't definingly "Greyhawk" in games: Since I tend to think of the various campaigns I've run in the Greyhawk setting as parallel timelines or alternate Prime Material plane Oerths---each distinct from one another, but united in their essential...

LOL, well, what WotC does really doesn't affect my games or my interest in Greyhawk in general, so from that POV I'm fine: I learned that lesson long ago with WG7's version of Castle Greyhawk ;) I did pick up the Ghosts of Saltmarsh book a couple of weeks ago from my FLGS, and while I haven't...

September bump! Allan.

There are a lot of areas that remain untouched in Greyhawk canon that could be developed fresh of course (and I'd prefer to see new material published* vs. the continuous rehashing of stuff I already own), but in terms of reprints and/or collections specifically, I'm most-interested in...

I'd love to see RJK detail the rest of Maure Castle and its environs someday. In addition to Kingdom of the Ghouls, Wolfgang Baur wrote Empire of the Ghouls as a 3.5 (I think?) Open Design patrons-only project in 2008 set in Greyhawk as a sequel to KotG. Very good stuff! Allan.

There's definitely some good work published during the "Greyhawk 98"/Silver Anniversary era: I'm overly-fond of Return of the Eight for the detailed setting of Tenser's Castle (The Fortress of Unknown Depths) and Iggwilv's behind-the-scenes machinations in the scenario The City of Greyhawk...

Agreed completely, David. This may be a bit more to your liking---Joe Bloch just posted a new expanded continental map for Oerik based on the Greyhawk folio map: Lands Beyond the Flanaess – Greyhawk Grognard Allan.
