The TPO books are all must-have reading for deital/planar stuff. There's one chapter in TPO itself which focuses directly on the planes, while the entire Chessboards book does as well. (The other two TPO books are focused on the deity stuff, so less so on the planes themselves). I also...

Perhaps you missed this update?: http://lakegenevaoriginalrpg.blogspot.com/2013/11/updates-on-run.html :D IIRC, the Hobby Shop Dungeon from Ernie Gygax and Benoist Poire is appearing in Gygax Magazine #3, too.

While Gary is gone, there are other Greyhawk co-creators still living, thankfully. Rob Kuntz is still around, as are a number of the players in the original campaign, and Gary's children Luke and Ernie who were among the primary participants in the game. No one can replace Gary, of course, but...

Right there with you. Now an update would be a wonderful Christmas present! :D

Definitely, although S4 Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth is also fabulous!

Ouch! And now it's November.

Thanks for the pointer, Creighton!

OSRIC, but of course :D

Wonderful, and thank you :D I haven't thus far, but if/when I run across it, hopefully my mental note alert won't have expired yet.... I know nothing about True Dungeon, so the only reason these even came to my attention was that they were listed in the Acaeum thread links I mentioned...

You're both welcome :D I'm not running a serious campaign at present, Mercurius, so no love for you there. My current DMing schedule is about every 3 months for my two sons (9 and 5 years odl) and running them through my version of Castle Greyhawk. Not a lot of serious campaign development...

Your concept immediately reminded me of The Safe House in Milwaukee, although it's not really trap-filled so much as spy-genre-filled: http://www.safe-house.com/ I could see this working well in a Sanctuary-like town on a crossroads, perhaps, where the locals know the traps (which couldn't...

October bump.

Some of my favorite campaign-design articles were written by Ed Greenwood in Dragon Magazine BITD: - "Plan Before You Play" Dragon #63 - "Law of the Land" Dragon #65 Also good were "The Merry Month of...Mirtul?" in Dragon #47, ""Down-To-Earth Divinity" in Dragon #54, and (to a lesser extent...

Hey Ant--- Some Greyhawk additions I don't remember talking about before (I scrolled through the rest of the thread, and didn't see them, but not sure if you've covered them elsewhere): - Origins 1 tournament version of Tomb of Horrors (1975) - Origins 2 tournament version of Expedition to the...

Now there's a nice idea! Hey Sepulchrave II would you consider something like that? :D edit: "You must spread some Experience Points around before giving it to Erevanden again." Someone help me out, please?

Post Friday the 13th bump!

September bump!

Non-white endpapers was standard issue for the early printings of the MM (red), PHB (orange), and DMG (goldenrod). That's one of the reasons that we published the Black Blade/Usherwood edition of OSRIC with red endpapers---an homage to this usage from the first editions of the core AD&D books.

If you do buy the book, please check the listing for the vampire errata for me?: in the vampire entry on page 99, how does the third sentence in the 7th paragraph read---"The vampire loses one-third of its hit points per ROUND of immersion." or "The vampire loses one-third of its hit points per...

The hands might make a desirable sacrifice for the stone, but I'm not sure they really go toward answering the Q asked very much ;) I guess that bailing on the Q would likely cause the stone to gain no alliance with the PCs---aka, potential new cultist followers: perhaps have it ask the PC to...
