Does anyone still play in Greyhawk?

[Atom Again]

Hey dudes. I was wondering how many of you are still setting your 3.5 campaigns in Greyhawk, using the Living Greyhawk Gazetteer. On the one hand, Greyhawk seems like a great vanilla fantasy setting, gritty and with a nice power balance. On the other hand, I worry that no one uses it anymore and that everyone has flocked to Forgotten Realms and others.

BTW, I'm not talking about Living Greyhawk--I'm asking about those of you who use Greyhawk in your own private campaigns.

I love Greyhawk, if I were playing standard D&D I'd set it IN GH.

(Am busy w/ B5 d20 and Iron Kingdoms)

Me too.

 

[Stockdale]

Absolutely. I love this setting.

I am, We try to run about once a week, 5 party members, currently 3rd level, heck they probably have enough X.P. to train to 4th.

About to Start the Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil, tweaked to fit a bit better with what my group knows about Greyhawk (i.e. no way in hell that Dwarves are living in relative peace with Orcs in the Lortmills...).

I've dabbled elsewhere, but always come back to Greyhawk... I'd love to see the RPGA put out an new gazeteer that updates things with the goings on in Living Greyhawk....

Last time I ran Greyhawk was in 2000, not long after the launch. So far, we've been having so much fun with the dozens of othe settings that we haven't yet returned.

One of these days...

The main campaign I play in is GH and I (and the other players) love it. It is a very balanced world IMO and has a lot of built-in flexibility. It has a decent amount of product support from the core books and the gazeteers, plus the years of info from 1E/2E . It's not as well supported as FR and I think that turns some poeple off, but I think there is definately enough info out there to run a fun campaign with little extra work. Our DM has based his mainly in the Southern Great Kingdom of Ahlissa and uses Ivid the Undying as his main source material. To be honest it's the most enjoyable campaign I've played in yet.

There are a lot of folks using Greyhawk by choice as their home campaigns.

For a partial listing of Greyhawk online resources---including various messageboards where Greyhawk in your home campaign is the main feature of discussion---see my web site at http://www.greyhawkonline.com/grodog/gh_links.html.

"Ivid the Undying"? Whazzat?

We switch off between two campaigns and one is based in Greyhawk (it's pre-wars, old box set though).
