[QUOTE="Odhanan, post: 6515312, member: 12324"] It would be very cool to see Castle Greyhawk, the original maps and keys, be published one day. I voted "would definitely buy." There have been four different incarnations of the Castle (the original, the original + Rob Kuntz's material, an abbreviated version in 1998, and Castle Zagyg), and none of them have been published in their entirety. Such as it is, Ernest Gygax (Jr.) and I are working on the Hobby Shop Dungeon, the castle created by Ernie and run since 1977/78, starting with games at the Dungeon hobby shop in Lake Geneva, and will kickstart its complete introductory module this year, DU1 Marmoreal Tomb of Garn Patuul, followed by the first installment of the Castle itself, and then a gazetteer of the Duinnsmere, the area around the HSD that can be inserted in a game world, extended into a game world of its own, and so on. Ernie was Tenser, and one of the long-running players exploring Greyhawk in its early hours, before the material of Rob Kuntz was added to it (first incarnation as explained above). The Hobby Shop Dungeon is not the same thing, yet it obviously owes a lot to the many hours Ernie spent exploring the first Lake Geneva castle.
