Sadly the same people will not get the "All in the Family" song as will miss the D&D references. ;)

The term is certainly problematic and more individualized as has been noted here, so as someone who claims "old school" preference I will only note what I think makes me fit this category and try to identify the central elements that really bind us or separate us: 1. It's neither bad nor good...

Hi Gary, I was wondering in your original campaigns if you developed the City of Greyhawk after the castle & dungeons, or did you establish the locale first as with the new Castle Zagyg material (which as I think I already said is excellent)? On a tangent, was the Duchy of Tenh extrapolated...

Given the 54% response so far to Low Magic Fantasy, I invite all to check out this setting: Ilshara: Lands of Exile - it is a classic world setting in the spirit of the original Greyhawk, very light on crunch detail and heavy on the societal/political/geographical info - right now the Gazetteer...

I can't remember that area of Venice as well - I have friends who own Small World Books in the center part, and the restaurant next to it, both near muscle beach area, but I just can't place the other parts. I moved to Louisiana in 99 and Wisconsin in 04, and I've only been back like 3 times for...

Ahhh.. Barney's. Went there often when I lived in LA myself.... cheese fries and any beer from around the world.... I miss the menus as newspapers too lol

Happy B-Day Gary! :D Here's hoping all your rolls are good ones!

I designed and played a mini-world called Zarthos that was similar - it was a war that was the ELE. The best advice is to figure out how to handle discovered artifacts/technology from the pre-disaster era - this is one of the things that can add a lot of flavor but needs attention to not...

For those especially who may not have gotten updates through other various forums, check out all the new info and updated maps to this setting! While generally written for C&C, the design is meant to be basic enough to work with any system - If you like tons of "crunch" this isn't the world...

Gary, I just got my copy of CZ: Yggsburgh via UPS - I wanted to say thank you for bringing this project back to us! It is a wonderful setting and I will look forward to the Castle and Dungeons to come! Cheers! John Maddog Wright "Sometimes you've got to know when to roll 'em... know when to...

Greetings all! I have created a new Fantasy Campaign World Setting called Ilshara: Lands of Exile. While I am pretty decent with cartographic art, I am not talented in the area of illustrative art. I invite all who might be interested in contributing classically-drawn fantasy art based on this...

Have added a lot to Website to make it a better preview. The entire Gazetteer is now online as webpages for now, and I've put up more detailed preview pics of maps. Cheers! John Maddog Wright :)

I've always given the most XP actually for story awards and role-playing awards. I often take out or limit XP for treasure period, because the treasure has its own inate value to the characters. Certain discoveries or finds amongst treasure certainly warrent good XP, but a sack of gold with 2d4...

Working to finish that as we speak Tree - should have much more available soon. Thanks for checking it out! John Maddog Wright :cool:

Just an addendum to a.) make sure my invite to check this out doesn't get lost in the great gauze of threads, and b.) to alert people that I will be putting material up on The Workshop forum of Dragonsfoot.org as I move towards a more complete offerring of this setting. Cheers! John Maddog...

Didn't know that. I had the Avalon Hill Starship Troopers game when I was young. I wanted to write a screenplay based on Stranger in a Stange Land when I was younger and still struggling to work as a writer in Los Angeles, but while Bob was alive he refused to let Hollywood mess up any more of...

With that I will also plug my setting as I start to get it out there - right now just some teaser info but should have it all up and downloadable in a few weeks. Ilshara: Lands of Exile Cheers! John Maddog Wright :)

Greetings all! Many of you were kind enough to give suggestions and ideas as I have been building a Fantasy World Campaign Setting named Ilshara: The Lands of Exile. The World is designed for use with Castles & Crusades but should be easily adaptable to any number of systems. I have an...

Sorry - to clarify, if the Wizards hold the rights to Greyhawk and so using settings and names (as you indicated in the above post about the Valley of the Mage) isn't possible, what made the name "Zagyg" (which is certainly a major part of Greyhawk) different so that you can publish this...
