Given the release date, it's most likely the Dragonlance adventure/sourcebook.

That's a cool idea. I might have to consider doing the same thing in the future.

I use a combination of #1 and #2. For the most part, I cover rooms with cut-outs that match their size. I do, however, add additional random sized pieces to cover the entire mat -- including "non-encounter/blank areas" -- if only to misdirect players into think there might be more to a...

Your memory serves you well, young Jedi, though the articles date from the early eighties. Gygax wrote the following in Dragon Mag #63 (p. 11): Relating this to the WORLD OF GREYHAWK map, the lands of the Frost, Ice, and Snow Barbarians, as well as the Hold of Stonefist, would produce...

I agree wholeheartedly with this. Interestingly, I have seen some longtime Greyhawk DMs over at Canonfire interpret the Oeridians as Germanic(!). It never ceases to amaze me how widely interpretations of the same source material can vary (though they may evidently have overlooked Gygax's own...

You are definitely better read on the subject of world cultures than I, so I will gladly defer to your analysis. That said, while I have no privileged insights into Gygax's naming of Ket, he also seems to have been very well read and intentional in his naming conventions. I don't think it's a...

Based on the Cubicle 7 product blurb and the current societal zeitgeist, I also can't help but wonder if the main premise will be that "citizen PCs" uncover the many totalitarian lies upon which the Imperium is founded, and then take action to subvert it. I think that would be pretty cool...

I'm cautiously optimistic. That said, while I have all the FFG Dark Heresy books and most of their other 40K books, I'm ashamed to say that I've only played a 40K RPG once (really enjoyed it!) and have never gotten to run one. Given my vast library of other unplayed/underplayed RPGs, I don't...

Ket: also indigenous peoples of Siberia The Inexplicable Origins of the Ket People of Siberia EDIT: And Ull is spelled with two "l"

Correct.

Some more peoples of the World of Greyhawk for you, though the details are sketchy and I'm not always sure what the closest analogue would be... "These herders and hunters [i.e., the Chakyik/Tiger Nomads] roam freely across the steppe south of the Burneal, trading with the folk of Ekbir and...

Fascinating. Thanks for sharing this.

I agree 100%. Out of those I listed (all of which I own in their original versions), the only one I have actually run is Against the Cult of the Reptile God, which I enjoyed quite a bit back in the day. The questionable writing and design of most of those adventures is why I specified previously...

I'm prepping to run a Greyhawk campaign, my first in about 20 years, and I always struggle when it comes to deciding how to portray the Flannae because of those very points raised by Ripzerai and yourself. I'm inclined to believe that "Flan" was a label applied to all pre-Great Migrations...

Giving the PCs more agency in those adventures and toning down the meta-plot somewhat would be a great start.

Oh, gotcha... totally forgot about that one!

I love this idea, especially from B10 onwards. That would be awesome. I could do without the inclusion of B1, since Goodman Gamea already covered that one. Contrary to most, I don't recall B3 being that good, aside from its nostalgia value. Might have to give it another look. Maybe include B6 -...
