Where on Greyhawk do you run?

[KrazyHades]

Where does the group I DM for run in Greyhawk? Everywhere. They run towards the rumors of treasure. They run away from the bigscarydragon at the treasure. They run to the temple to get healed. They run from the evilsoulsuckingvampire at the temple. They run to the Garlic n' Stakes store. They run from the superredandblackandcruel half-demon mage in league with the vampire. They run to...


You get it

It's all about guerrilla warfare in the Vesve, baby.

plus stuff from Canonfire and the LG regions on t'internet.

Bissel and environs (Yatils, Dim Forest, etc.), Set in the original (pre-FTA) version of Greyhawk with some updates from LGG, and with a war going on between Ket + mercenaries (and secretly Iuz) and Bissel + allies. No Greyhawk Wars per se, as those were silly.

Books I use:
-- 1983 World of Greyhawk boxed set
-- Living Greyhawk Gazeteer
-- The Adventure Begins (best version of the City of Greyhawk)
-- Seven Cities by Penumbra (various buildings to plop into the campaign)
-- City State of the Invincible Overlord (for Rel Astra)
-- Various ideas from Dungeon magazine and the old AOL Greyhawk group

I usually end up running my Greyhawk games at least partially in the neighborhood of the Free City itself. There's enough different terrain to make different adventures and good places for all the common PC types to come from.

Of course, I've done the Temple of Elemental Evil (Verbobonch/Furyondy area) and I usually set my home games in the Gran March/Keoland/Sheldomar Valley area.

Nyrond

I ran an 18-year Greyhawk campaign that was mainly set in Nyrond, though the characters were all over the map by the time it was over. I used the heck out of Carl Sargent's unpublished Ivid the Undying accessory in the last years of that campaign. Oh, how I love some Greyhawk.

Hey Dykstrav -- you need to let me know if you're joining our little game in Cary, running Age of Worms in Greyhawk. Send me an email as to what kind of character you want to play. We've got a couple of them covered already.

[GAAAHHH]

I was always partial to Gran March and Keoland for my adventures (Dreadwood Rocks!)

For my games I use:
D&D Gazeteer
Living Greyhawk Gazeteer
and soon: Expedition to the Ruins of Greyhawk

I lost the maps to my World of Greyhawk and City of Greyhawk boxed sets(I had them laminated and then forgot them at the house we were playing at before I moved)., and I haven't used them since 3rd edition came out.

 

[Sunderstone]

Currently DM'ing the Age of Worms Campaign. We are about to begin EaBK (Mistmarsh).

I use the Living Greyhawk Gazeteer as my main setting sourcebook with the following PDFs.

1) The Adventure Begins
2) WGR4 - The Marklands
3) WGR5 - Iuz The Evil
4) The Scarlet Brotherhood

I used to be an FR diehard (though I still collect all the FR Sourcebooks. FR was getting too "high-magic" for me, and FR seemed to change with every damned novel trilogy outdating enough things in the sourcebooks to make me want to avoid the setting entirely.

I have to admit, I absolutely love being back in the world of greyhawk and Im sorry I didnt do it years ago. IMHO, The Living Greyhawk Gazeteer is the perfect Greyhawk sourcebook. It gives you just enough information to be able to work just about anywhere.
Im real sorry I missed alot of older Greyhawk Print sourcebooks.

I still would love to see a new Greyhawk Campaign Setting HC one day.

City of Greyhawk, and I use the Gazetteer a fair bit these days.
