D&D General Greyhawk fans - How to fit older modules with Age of Worms

[Superchunk77]

Ah, Shackled City must be the one I am thinking of. Too bad, Age of Worms and Savage Tides in hardbound would have been really nice.

Maybe they'll consider it some time down the road for 5E, or even do the old 3E version for nostalgia's sake.

I've been trying to put together a PDF of the entire Age of Worms AP plus the Wormfood articles from Dragon to make a hardcover via Lulu. But wrestling with the Lulu design wizards has been frustrating me to no end. If anyone has more experience with this I would appreciate it!

Also I would love to do one for Savage Tide, but I don't have high quality PDF's of those issues to stitch together. Again, if you're able to share or trade, ping me

Tenser's appearance in Age of Worms is very clearly modelled after the art in Return of the Eight, I also notice.

which piece are you referring to, re: return of the eight?

Tenser - Return of the Eight

Tenser - Age of Worms

His appearance is the same - down to the same tunic.

I had looked up a bunch of pics after I realized that he's Tenser if you're running Greyhawk. His setting-neutral archmage identity Manzorian, then "if your game is set in Greyhawk, he's Tenser." Pretty cool stuff.

Crazy that three DMs were all considering running this at the same time! @Distracted DM @MGibster @earthsea_wizard did you start and how are the campaigns going?

I finished the campaign last year after about two years DMing it start to finish. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Converted to FR though, as I know little of Greyhawk.

Oh yeah, we're in The Spire of Long Shadows now- probably playing on average 2 4-hr sessions/week. There were a couple medium-length sidequests in-between some parts, largely due to the players wanting specific items and the answer to that being "go quest for it."

I can see why the campaign is overall well-regarded, it's a good'un.

Mine's played in my own setting, Advaen, but after a moment of thought I decided that the Archmage Manzorian is in fact Tenser. He came to Advaen hunting an old nemesis; he's vaguely familiar with Kyuss and Nerull as a result of them all being from Greyhawk. Players don't know all that, so I spoilered it in case they stalk my posts :'D
