Where is the best place for a newbie to start a Greyhawk game

[ssampier]

Love the way you descibed that. I mean, if Greyhawk (City of) is NYC, then....yeah, exactly.

I don't know much about Greyhawk. But if the City of Greyhawk is New York City, what is Diamond Lake?

New Jersey?! :\

Better watch it, ssampier, or someone's going to have to start scribing a spiritwrack scroll with your name on it

Dungeon magazine # 114 contains "Mad God´s Key", a superb adventure that takes place in the city of Greyhawk and streches out to Cairn Hills. For lvl 1-3, highly recomended.
It´s 3,5, ready to be run right out of the magazine.

Another vote for the Verbobonc/Hommlet area, here, to go on with ToEE.

Not trying to thread-jack, but I seem to be losing my mind. Wasn't there a Dungeon (or even Dragon) Mag article about Dyvers within the past 3 - 4 years? I'm looking for that now and can't find it or remember where I saw it. Any ideas?

(OK, OK, no comments from the peanut gallery about "seem" to be losing my mind....)

There was a fair amount of info on Dyvers published in Slavers before 3.0 was released. I can't think of anything else offhand that that's more recent, other than the Living Greyhawk Gaz.

Hunh. Maybe I'm thinking of the Hardby article that appeared in an earlier Dungon mag. Oh well. Thanks!

All suggestions are good, personally I would go with the Pomarj, tons of orcs/goblins/ogres/gnolls/bandits/thieves etc... My favorite monsters to start campaigns with. I even put Keep on the Borderlands to the north of the Pomarj, on its border between it and the fitst town/city to the north, which I can't remember the name of.

I started a campaign in the Shield lands, but there is a Knight who is traveling around to make diplomatic connections around the various nations; I'd have to look up in the recent dungeon. The party can be his squire and others and they are tasked to try and help out the country they are visiting to help him in the diplomacy. This allows you to toss in any old scenario at the location it should be and helps to build up the world reality that is so wonderful with Greyhawk.
