[QUOTE="AstroCat, post: 7125455, member: 6320"] Hey, we are going to start a new 5e campaign for our home group, and would like to use Greyhawk as our setting. We play lots of Adventure League Forgotten Realms and just finished the long Ravenloft Curse of Strahd campaign so Greyhawk sounds like a perfect change of pace. A more gritty, sword & sorcery flavored version of D&D (a bit more old school vibe) for our next campaign. This time we are planning on using mostly off the shelf modules and playing it a bit like an episodic series, where I'll DM a couple modules, and the I'll hand off DM'ing to another member for a couple and then rotate around. First off I was planning on using Tales of the Yawning Portal's Sunless Citadel and then go into The Forge of Fury using the in-book location advice. I'll need to come up with some way to link them up a bit and maybe have a wilderness/travel adventure in between the two modules. I'll jump back in as DM for Against the Giants for sure as well. The biggest thing we are trying to figure out is which source book to use/what timeline. My understanding is we should probably go for either the original box set, or the 2000 Gazetteer. I played Greyhawk as a kid a lot, but for several members this will be their first Greyhawk setting and I don't want to overwhelm them with lore. I figure we'll have the characters start out not all that worldly, and more locally based for their backstories, so the PCs can learn the world as their characters do. Should we go for the "latest" or "original" for the timeline? Any other Greyhawk 5e advice? thanks! :) [/QUOTE]
