[QUOTE="Snarf Zagyg, post: 9558635, member: 7023840"] I'm mostly absent recently, but I thought I'd try and provide a little help. Of course, when I say little, I mean ... very little help. The problem is that I am a strong 576er (so to speak)- I respect the work that went into other products that are later in the timeline, and I love the enthusiasm that people have for them, but my Greyhawk always starts at 576 CY (folio, 1983 boxed set) and I am not nearly as familiar with the material that comes later. Age of Worms starts at 595 CY and incorporates changes that wouldn't exist in my campaigns. With that said, there are two possibilities- 1. The older materials are [I]very agnostic [/I]about the overall campaign world. It's really easy to put the "classic" TSR modules in different times- or even different campaign settings. With a few exceptions you can simply run them "as is" in the 595 CY+ timeline without too much worry. 2. Run Age of Worms in the past (576 CY). I am not going to lie- I did a brief look (yeah. wikipedia, not gonna lie to you) to get a feel for it. It will take a [I]little[/I] bit of extra work, but not that much. That's what I would do, but I have my biases. :) [/QUOTE]
