[QUOTE="Cyronax, post: 3756, member: 822"] [b]Greyhawk 101[/b] Greyhawk in its first incarnations in the early 80's had no where near the detail that it got in the 2nd edtion. These early products (the 1980 Greyhawk Folio and the 1983 Boxed Set) were little more than a brief history, maps, and a thumbnail of all but the most basic information on the individual lands of Greyhawk. It was mostly left up to the DM as to which country fought which country. Many old school GH fans base their idea of Greyhawk on those old products. If you like that kind of world you can find a really recent and cheap version of Greyhawk in the the D&D Gazeteer. I have both the Living Greyhawk Journal and the Gazeteer, and I find both really useful. The Gazeteer uses the same format as the Folio, and it has all you need to get the barebones of the world down. Also I suggest you get the Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil. It really harkens back to the old classic Greyhawk adventures, and Temple gives you a great place to start a campaign at (if you rework Hommlett a little to work for 1st level characters). I think that module and the Forge of Fury are the two best adventures put out by Wizards of the Coast since the 3rd edition came out. [/QUOTE]
