    D&D General Len Lakofka passed?

    My bibliography of Lenard Lakofka's gaming work: An Index of the D&D Works of Lenard "Leomund's Tiny Hut" Lakofka I'm sure it's far from complete, but its good enough to share as a reasonable start! Allan.

    D&D General Virtual Greyhawk Con 2020 - October 2nd to the 4th

    I'll be running my two "Iounic Caverns" Greyhawk events from Virtual Greyhawk Con at the Virtual TsunamiCon too (but I'm swapping out RJK's Bottle City adventure for one of Tom Moldvay's unpublished adventures). Details on my blog if anyone's curious: grodog's October 2020 Convention Greyhawk...

    D&D General SYFY article on Castle Greyhawk

    Indeed. And even within Joe's version, there's an alternate ruins level and dungeon level 1 created by Richard Graves (The Mad Demigod's Castle) in case folks don't have a copy of Castle Zagyg available (given it's steep price these days). Yes, Russell Bird used the WG7 module to great effect...

    D&D General SYFY article on Castle Greyhawk

    Ummmm, guilty as charged =) There have been several versions of Castle Greyhawk published, in whole or in part, over the decades. I summarize a lot of the publishing history in my essay/review of Castle Zagyg at grodog's Greyhawk Castle Archive Rob's El Raja Key as always separate from...

    D&D General SYFY article on Castle Greyhawk

    Fans of Castle Greyhawk will find Matt Bassil's latest article of interest: Castle Greyhawk, the lost dungeon that kicked off Dungeons & Dragons, still inspires players today I was interviewed for the piece :D Allan.

    D&D General For the Love of Greyhawk: Why People Still Fight to Preserve Greyhawk

    OK, I'm done catching up. I was going to do some distilling---"Let me explain. No, there is too much. Let me sum up.” (Inigo Montoya)---but I realized over the course of the past 14+ pages of additional discussion that I’m not really qualified to hold a strong opinion here. That is, I...

    D&D General Greyhawk did what? A partial list of Greyhawk Personalities

    Agreed per the original info published in EW and the DMG. We do learn some additional details/lore about some of these from Gygax, Rob Kuntz, and others at various points: Invulnerable Coat of Arnd featured in Kuntz's Dark Druids adventure set in the Gnarley Forest the Vecna/Kas artifacts were...

    D&D General For the Love of Greyhawk: Why People Still Fight to Preserve Greyhawk

    I'm still catching up on the thread (and will be for another day or two, it seems!). I think that you raise excellent points @Chaosmancer . Greyhawk should be able to stand on its own merits. We should be able to craft a solid elevator pitch for it. But perhaps, without an understanding and...

    D&D General For the Love of Greyhawk: Why People Still Fight to Preserve Greyhawk

    In addition to the long post I made yesterday, there's the old "Grey in the Hawk" post from the Greytalk listserv days which might help focus the tone/elements-that-define-the-setting discussion a bit more concretely. I didn't post this earlier since it really positions GH and FR in direct...

    D&D General For the Love of Greyhawk: Why People Still Fight to Preserve Greyhawk

    Tone in Greyhawk is, I think, something that does vary quite a bit from group to group based on what adventure is currently being played, and perhaps also from edition to edition. But when I hear folks comment that Greyhawk is low magic or that spell casters are rare, that does not align at all...

    D&D 5E (2014) What's your favourite pantheon?

    Yes and no. No, in that sense that the players haven't confronted a god directly in quite awhile, but Yes in that god-like beings can and do appear in the campaign from time to time, and the players may or may not choose to engage in combat with them. And having at least some stats/ranking...
