Message: <blockquote data-quote="fletch137" data-source="post: 6110792" data-attributes="member: 19337">I'm looking at some of my favorite boxed sets from 2nd edition and I'm hell-bent on linking them into a campaign.This campaign would start with "Night Below," transition to "Rod of Seven Parts" and cap with "Return to the Tomb of Horrors," all of it wrapped up in "Greyhawk Wars."I understand "Night Below" gets really grindy by Book III (I even have trouble reading that far...) so my plan is to put an aboleth boss in the heart of the City of the Glass Pool and letting the adventure end there.  Somewhere in theres, the PCs will discover the first piece of the Rod of Seven Parts which will ultimately lead them into that adventure.  And once that wraps up, I'll find a way to get them started on the Tomb of Horrors.By the numbers, that'll fit together really nicely, but what I *really* want is to flavor that with the Greyhawk setting and letting the Greyhawk Wars play in the background.  So I'm looking for advice or ideas on ways to incorporate such things into the campaign.Fer instance, if I place Haranshire in Furyondy, my PCs will be on hand to see the first stages of the war with Iuz after they resurface from the Night Below.  While a world war is a big deal, I want the PCs to know that their quest for the Rod is even MORE important.  Of course their travels around the Flaeness will allow them to experience the different fronts of the war (and I'd love to find a way to get them invited to the Pact signing in Greyhawk at the end) and maybe even have the defeat of Miska the Wolfspider impact Iuz' fiendish armies.If there's a way to turn some of my PCs into landed nobles after this, I'll take it.  I love the domain and mass warfare rules of 'Birthright' and would love to adapt them to a non-Cerilian setting.Hopefully I'll find a way to have the PCs in place for the start of Tomb of Horrors over in the Vast Swamp.That's my rough outline.  I welcome all Greyhawk enthusiasts to educate me on ways I can weave these events together to give the best Greyhawk experience for my players.</blockquote>
