Yoinking Best of Oerth Journal

[roguerouge]

I'm not running a campaign in Greyhawk, nor do I plan to. Still, this fan journal intrigues me: lots of free content that seems put together well. But there's so much of it. SO... what adventures, setting info, and denizen articles should I look at first? What's the best for a general reader, not a fan of Oerth?

roguerouge, what kinds of things are you interested in stealing: there's a pretty broad swath of content types in OJ: history articles, articles about gods/organizations, adventures, new magic items, etc., etc.

Well, I'm mostly interested in what people have found to be the best articles for their campaigns, but I wanted to make clear that, for me, "best" didn't have much to do with fleshing out the world of Greyhawk, but rather to do with use at a gaming table.

Beyond that, I tend towards world-building (the constellations article looked like something I'd never come up with on my own), adventures, and NPCs.

The last couple of issues have improved the production quality very much, so start with those. They also contain a couple of high level adventures. If you use the 3E core pantheon, the Greyhawk material on the deities can be used to flesh them out.
