A Short Introduction to Greyhawk

[MerricB]

G'day, all!

A few years back, I wrote a short "primer" for people interested in Greyhawk:
A Short Introduction to the World of Greyhawk.

I've now written a sequel, which takes the timeline up to 591 CY, and gives a few other bits of interest.
A Short Introduction to the World of Greyhawk - part 2.

Neither is intended to be a work of great scholarship, but I hope some people find them useful.

Cheers!

Indeed!

Copied and pasted in my Greyhawk folder on the computer for my own personal use, of course.

I got the folio for Christmas when it came out. Still have it and break it out for inspiration.

Thanks for the link.

"Useful", check.

"Not a work of great scholarship", you might wanna work on that one...

Seriously, I'm just reading part 1 now, but thanx for both of them!

Thanks Merric.

For those interested here are some interesting threads in a similar vein but more on a meta-campaign level on canonfire:
Distinguishing GH from FR
Generic Greyhawk or Toolkit Greyhawk
both by GVDammerung

Just a bump for grodog.

Quite handy. Many thanks!

Excellent. Really. I am just starting Expedition, and some of my players do not know Greyhawk well, so these are great introductions.

Thanks Merric I'm still playing vs. DMing at this point (we're going to pick up our Caverns of Thracia game on Monday, after an extended August hiatus due to family vacations and GenCon), but will definitely check the article out! I need a primer for my players, who have never played in Greyhawk before.

But soon, soon, they will fall into my Maure Castle clutches---muhahahhaahhahahhaha!
