Message: <blockquote data-quote="mattcolville" data-source="post: 5234497" data-attributes="member: 1300">Here's what I know of the sordid history of this famed dungeon.1: It was among Gary's central works, adding levels to it at the rate of one a week as early as 1973.2: The first appearance of anything called Castle Greyhawk in print was the joke-module, which I've actually played through. It was a lot of fun. Looking at the list of freelancers who worked on it, I do not subscribe to the hypothesis that it was a deliberate attempt to make Gary look stupid. Indeed, in his absence, I suspect it was a logical decision after the two Lewis Carrol modules to make the Castle, which the two modules were meant to be offshoots off, a central parody adventure.Regardless, not what I'm looking for.3: There was then an adventure called Greyhawk Ruins which was A: apparently really nasty (yay!) and B: only detailed the surface, the three Towers.4: WotC released Expedition to the Ruins of Greyhawk, which appears to cover some of the same ground, but is nowhere near complete. I have no sense of what people think of this adventure.5: I thought someone once told me that the Maure Castle content published in Dungeon was originally supposed to be Castle Greyhawk, but I cannot now find a source for that. 6: Castle Zagyg, which is also supposed to be Castle Greyhawk and was originally going to be like 400 seperate books but only one was ever published? 2? Was it in print or just a PDF? Are there plans to finish it?So my question, it seems, is twofold. IF I pretend to be an archeologist, and imagine that there's a real place called Castle Greyhawk, is it possible to use some combination of these products to reconstruct it?Or, failing that, will there at some point in the future be a comprehensive adventure called Castle Greyhawk?Also posted on RPGnet.</blockquote>
