When I started: summer of 1982 when a new kid moved inand showed me the game. (Summer before high school.) What: AD&D 1e in “what’s a setting” and Greyhawk. Later Oriental Adventures when it came out. Player to DM. ———————————————— Stopped January 1991. (Senior year in college.) Why: Hated 2e...

In the Shackled City Adventure Path - in Dungeon magazine and published by Paizo as a book - there was a 3.5e adventure about the Flood Festival in Cauldron (Greyhawk) that had some fun contests and a ball. Fan authors added more In Paizo’s discussions of “SCAP”. In my 3.5e Greyhawk campaign...

The map looks like 576 CY, with name changes.

I do AD&D + some inspiring sources + wing it with Excel. Details: AD&D (1e) PHB for income + DMG for construction costs Inspiration: Harn Manor, Magical Medieval Society, other D&D sources, and a post long ago about social classes and incomes Excel: make sure income and expenses work out, or...

I think so. Erik Mona was a huge Greyhawk fan - even before he was a pro game designer, he was active on AOL’s Greyhawk group.. And Paizo began by running Dungeon in the era of PaizoHawk. So I would say yes.

My first group was the DM, his brother, and me. But since then, I don’t think I’ve been or played in a group smaller than DM + 5 players.

For a while, banditry, and river piracy from Nulb expand. Eventually, there’s a massive sneak attack at night on Hommlet to torch most of it, leaving the tower besieged.

Posting this in "D&D Older Editions" for those who know Greyhawk.

In my 3.5e email campaign (which started as AD&D 1e and uses Greyhawk and many old school adventures), not everyone is interested in their own domains. One player character (a cleric) has his own domain - took over the village of Ossington from the Standing Stones adventure and made it his...

Get Goodman Games Original Adventures Reincarnated "Into the Borderlands". It's B1 & B2 woven together with additional story and encounter areas. It's great. It's reprinted Basic, plus 5e conversion. The new stuff is in 5e, but it can be converted to whatever version you prefer and it's more...

Harn “Pilot’s Almanac” is good, if you want “realistic” fantasy RPG trading ships. They also have an adventure for a merchant ship called “Dead Weight” and a resource about river trade and a small trading vessel called “Thard River Trade Route”...

Harn has a book about trading ships, and various D&D editions have ships & the sea books you could use.

I agree. My campaign is run in 3.5e, but it’s in Greyhawk and I run a lot of classic AD&D and Basic adventures.

I recommend getting Goodman Games Original Adventures Reincarnated (OAR) “Into the Borderlands”. It has the original B1 & B2, plus a conversion to 5e, plus additional materials and makes more of a plot out of it. Of course you only have 3 hours but it’s a great resource.

Ditto. It was the first thing I DM’d that I didn’t write. The main thing I remember are the female thieves you meet, especially Duchess.

It’s been a long time, but I enjoyed “The Elfish Gene”. And it helped me understand some of the stuff here I don’t get, like anti-DM opinions.

Good stuff. Looks like some of the art in Pathfinder to me.

In my long running Greyhawk campaigns, I have two major magic dealers. One owns a store in a city under the protection of the Mages Guild and sells only relatively low powered magic items - Scrolls up to about 3rd level, potions, +1 weapons or armor, and equivalent miscellaneous magic. I keep...

Is there a website or wiki for the cartoon? Or a map of locations? I think it would fun thing to add as a region to a campaign world. Maybe not even to visit, but fun to know it’s there.
