Yes indeed, Dave! Are you planning to attend North Texas in June? Allan.

My GaryCon summary report is now posted at The grodog Thither and Hither and Points Between As always, GaryCon was a fun time, made even more fun by gaming with and visiting many friends and colleagues there! Allan.

I think that's a great idea, and although it would likely follow general cultural footprints from the migration maps, it would still be useful to see the zones of "control" for the Flannae, Suloise, Oeridians, et al. The map visual could be extrapolated from the national breakdowns listed in the...

Hola folks!--- I shared a new post in my blog that's a mixture of Greyhawk campaign update and some noodlings on Pholtus: https://grodog.blogspot.com/2025/04/enter-stage-left-agutha-glimmering-sisters-of-pholtus.html Enjoy! Allan.

In fact there is, and specifically for RPG artwork: see http://kodercollection.org/ and Koder Collection Allan.

Thanks for ping (and @haakon1’s kind words too) :) ). I’ve multi quoted some thoughts below that I hope are useful. Sounds like a very worthwhile resource, @haakon1 ! Have you done all of AoW already, or are you working chronologically? How does one request a copy? :) Note that there are...

Not a lot of note, although some of the gods of Greyhawk’s weaponry are polearms: Nerull’s scythe, Life Cutter Hextor’s military fork Wastri’s glance-guisarm Xerbo’s trident Allan.

A few immediately come to mind: Kerzit, from WG5/Maure Castle the list of named demon lords/ladies (and princes/princesses) in the MM2; I played with many of these in my Abyssal genealogy article at Canonfire! - Excerpts from The Demonomicon Of Iggwilv: Abyssal Genealogy (but that’s nearly...

Quick correction: this is from the City of Greyhawk boxed set (1989), not from the 1983 setting boxed set: Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Archive Allan.

David was a no-go, alas. Allan.

Many of the classic TSR pregens are available at Guy Fullerton’s blog at Old School Pregenerated Character Library but it doesn’t look like S1 or S3 pregens are there. Some DF discussion at Printable Pregenerated Character Library - Dragonsfoot suggests David Prata has them statted out, I’ll...

Age of Worms is probably my favorite of the full APs published in the Paizohawk era (although I’ve not read Savage Tide in depth), despite me not being a huge fan of Kyuss as he’s presented (too much overlap with Vecna for my taste). I really like the wide variety of locations across The...

Dave’s article was truncated when it appeared in the boxed set. Dragon 68 also included a cardstock 3-panel screen for using the weather tables/rules from the article. I’ve not compared the screen to the 1983 box to see if the edits made the screen only useful with the original article’s full...

No worries! If you’d like to share any thoughts via email or PM, I am curious! If there’s feedback that I can pass to the team to help on the language front, I’d be happy to do so—their intention is to be welcoming to players new to Greyhawk who are basically seeing it for the first time from...

How so? Allan.

I was never a big fan of this set either. It didn’t feel like Greyhawk to me—far more RenFaire than gritty. It certainly didn’t match the style or tone from Gygax’s Gord stories and novels. Those richly detail the city, and are summarized by Krista Siren at The Greyhawk Lands - Greyhawk Online...

Free fan-published update to the 5.5 DMG Greyhawk gazetteer chapter: https://www.dmsguild.com/product/503532/World-of-Greyhawk-Gazetteer-Revised Allan.

FWIW, the Bottle City level of Castle Greyhawk (designed by Gygax’s co-DM, Rob Kuntz) was inspired by the Bottle City of Kandor from the comics, and Marvel comics influenced the artwork of the early OD&D brown box sets, so comics were definitely in the air at early TSR. Lenard Lakofka...

This is a good point, to which I would add that some groups of elves in Greyhawk are isolationist toward humans/etc. (Celene), while others espouse a more-engaged strategy (Prince Melf). However even that’s not the particularly unique aspect (insert Tolkien’s Finrod Felagund as Melf’s side…)...
