Now all we have to do is wait and see... we hope Erik Mona will bring new life into the GH setting, and maybe that could make some big head inside WotC start thinking about the idea of releasing some new material for we "Hawks".

Come on, Erik, meke the dream happens!

YES! Erik, will you have enough time to be at the seminars at GenCon this August? When can we expect Greyhawk:576-591? Just kidding. :D

Well done, Erik!

I guess I'll take the opportunity to let you know that I appreciate your work, and I suspect that you and I like alot of the same things about Greyhawk and D&D in general. Keep up the good work!

Have you guys read Erik's April 7, 2006 blog entry?

Other than his comment about "stay tuned", I don't really see any meaningful statement as to GH's future. Or am I missing something?

I thought the selected quote in his blog entry was interesting, and even moreso when coupled with his last statement. Nothing revealing, obviously, but somewhat intriguing when put into the context of his recent promotion.

In any case, with L4 on the way, we will see a whole new Greyhawk adventures for free soon enough...

But whatever book Mr Mona might be thinking of, I hope he hears that voice saying *license Greyhawk for d20* in his dreams every night...

Len Lakofka is going to release L4, with 1e rules, for free via the Dragonsfoot.org internet portal.
I don't know if it will explicitely be set on Oerth, but it will continue the L1-L3 line, as far as I heard. No rumour here - the cartographer for L4 is actually my DM...

Sounds cool. I got L3 in that silver anniversary box.

Can you keep us updated when L4's released?

Whoa! An enigmatic statement from Erik and now this? Return to Lendore, eh? It feels like Christmas already

Btw, welcome back to our board Raf. You have spent too much time haunting the FoS boards, my friend ;)

:D Thank you, Morte! The online games I am running there and at dablackmoor.com keep me quite busy, but I never forget to check these boards for news from the Flanaess!

Indeed, it's still a good time for being Hawker, I think. Not only are there many oldschool-favouring prestige objects on the market, like the Blackmoor renaissance or Castle Zagyg, but with the Oerth Journal, OD&DITIES and the works of the 1e & 2e community that is centered around Dragonsfoot and Knights & Knaves, there's a lot of initiative for future Greyhawk projects, I think.
