(I think it'd much better run in 5E than 3E - there are some design decisions that make the end of AoW incredibly unfun. Like, let's make the final boss immune to sneak attack and also have resistance to +5 or lesser weapons... the poor rogue in my group got to do 3 total damage in the final combat).TSR, of course, created their own big campaign from the original adventures - Temple of Elemental Evil, followed by Scourge of the Slavelords, concluding with Queen of Spiders.When you take the central Greyhawk area and look for the classic TSR-era Greyhawk adventures in the region, it's not as many as you'd think!Anyway, let's go through the classics:T1-4 Temple of Elemental Evil (2 adventures! Sort of). Levels 1-8, in Hommlet and nearby. Not far from Greyhawk. But a starter campaign, not a side venture. Unless you're Robilar, going to see what all the new characters are up to.U1-3 Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh, etc. (3 adventures). Levels 1-5. The originals don't specify the location that much (leaving a lot up to you). Just give a fishing village near an ocean. Assumes new characters, though.L1-2 Lendore adventures (2, maybe 3, maybe more). Levels 1-4. Very dependent on Lendore lore, IMO - so a long, long way from Greyhawk.N1. Against the Cult of the Reptile God. (levels 1-3). Doesn't fit in with Age of Worms at all, but it's a well-regarded adventure that I personally don't care for.I1 Dwellers of the Forbidden City (levels 4-7). Far, far afield from Greyhawk. I like this one, but it fits better with Savage Tide. C2: The Ghost Tower of Inverness (levels 5-7). Pretty easy to insert. Does trippy things. Honestly, not really an adventure I like.A1-4 Aerie of the Slave Lords (4 adventures, later republished and revised in Scourge). Levels 4-9, in the Pomarj - not that far from Greyhawk. Very conceivable that the players get involved from a local lord wanting help against the slave menace.]S2: White Plume Mountain - very insertable into any Greyhawk campaign. Someone hires you to find the weapons. Go, have fun in a funhouse dungeon!S3: Expedition to the Barrier Peaks (8-12)- insertable. But wow, will probably take a WHILE to run and frustrate your players with mapping. I like it, but last ran it on a VTT with a very nice map, and streamlined exploration a lot. Quite a long way from Greyhawk.S4. Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth (levels 6-10). Very important for lore, but the impact of the dungeons relies a lot on the Brand New Creatures - which are bog standard these days. It's fine. It's also a long way from Greyhawk.S1 Tomb of Horrors - for when you want to end the campaign. (If run in original rules. Much more of a cakewalk in 5E revisions). Easy insertion anywhere, just put an item in the hoard that the party want.</blockquote>
