[QUOTE="Shaele, post: 104630, member: 3071"] --Erik-- This type of information takes up about two pages, total, of the LGG. I think you might enjoy the book, as it gives you exactly the type of information you're looking for ------ Thank you very much - that's _exactly_ what I was hoping to hear. I'll make a point of ordering it right away. --corndog-- The LGG has 2 pages devoted to RPGA play. Out of 200. The rest is pure campaign information. I don't play LG in tournaments, in fact I'm not even an RPGA member, just a long time GH fan. ------ Again, just what I needed to know. I don't have access to the book, and don't know anyone who's seen it, so I needed advice. It sounds perfect. --corndog-- That's understandable, but if you read into the material for those prestige classes, they do give little tid bits here and there ------ These tidbits aren't much of a basis for a campaign ("Ok, I know there's a deity called Olidamarra from this prestige class, but what's he all about?") --corndog-- It's nothing personal. The idea that there is no place to find GH material is just not true. Hearing the myth being presented again and again is just something I always make a point to rebuke. ------ For those of us without easy and immediate access to the material you mention, it _is_ difficult to find. Yes, there's a website. I read for about 20 minutes, and realized that I'd have to seriously filter out the "Living Greyhawk" specific material. For someone like me, who lives without access to a Wizards store (for example), these materials are very, very difficult to find. Most have to be special-ordered, for about twice the cost that you'd normally pay. The "lack of Greyhawk materials" isn't a myth, it's the reality of the way WOTC has marketed their products. Like it or not (and I judge *not* based on your tone), the Realms has a much greater base of published works. -> FR Campaign Handbook -> Lord of Darkness -> Monsters of Faerun -> Magic of Faerun Greyhawk may be the default setting, but it doesn't have much in the way of official, published material. Look on the Wizards website (which I did btw before posting here), and found a few older, pre-3E Greyhawk books... and the Living Greyhawk campaign world. Not exactly well represented. I mean no disrespect to those that have worked on this setting, but it's pretty obvious that WOTC caters to the Realms - probably because it's where they've made the most money. That's another discussion though. [/QUOTE]
