[QUOTE="shilsen, post: 1357111, member: 198"] I'm currently running a Greyhawk campaign set in Keoland. I used the first two Adventure Path modules (Sunless Citadel and Forge of Fury) to start it off, and then went my own merry way, picking some names from the series and investing them with my own meanings. The PCs were hired by a high priest of Pholtus to investigate problems in a small town (Sunless Citadel) and in the process of doing so they inadvertently freed a thousand year old vampire called Gulthias. They also discovered information about Gulthias's original master, a red dragon called Ashardalon, and the artifact he once used to aspire to deityhood (the Crown of the Gods). They continued to investigate the Crown and eventually discovered that their patron was after it for his own nefarious reasons. They barely escaped him with their lives and hid out for some time in the Good Hills, before heading down to the Dreadwood, where they believe the Crown is concealed. Only problem is that Gulthias got there some time ago and has amassed an undead army (and a few other surprises they haven't encountered yet), and there's a running war with the elves going on. Last session, the PCs helped elven defenders fight off an undead army attacking a town in the Dreadwood, only to discover a much larger force about to attack. Our session tomorrow should start with some of the party guarding the elven non-combatants who are fleeing, while others stay behind to buy them some time (backup PCs have been asked for already :D). Essentially I'm using the setting but not worrying at all about canon, just adding and removing things as they suit my campaign. [/QUOTE]
