Message: <blockquote data-quote="Orius" data-source="post: 9555152" data-attributes="member: 8863">I never bought the Jakandor books, nor have I felt much of a need to pursue any pdfs of it.  I have thought of it as an interesting approach for a self-contained campaign, rather than the excesses of peak 2e. I think a more modular approach to subsettings would have been better for TSR, and more useful for DMs.  But TSR's business model was all about the big boxed sets with adventures, splats, and most importantly to them novels.  And the basic premise of necromancers vs. barbarians with the usual tropes turned on their heads isn't bad either.I do have Tale of the Comet and it's more of a mini campaign than an actual setting.  It's explicitly 2e's answer to S3 - Expedition to the Barrier Peaks, and it can probably be quickly described as D&D meets Stargate with Replicators as the big bad with some Borg and Skynet thrown in for bad measure.  And in this setting, the evil AI utterly has the upper hand where technology is concerned, but has no means whatsoever of dealing with magic.Greyhawk's appeal generally tends to be that it's a standard kitchen sink setting that's open enough for a DM to customize.  It's kind of for the DM that wants a framework to build on, without having the level of detail that something like the Forgotten Realms has.Kurtz wrote all three, and some of the material from the Complete Book of Necromancers is a sequel to an adventure from Cities of Bone.</blockquote>
