#1 zombiegleemax Dec 18, 2003 13:24:37	Although the medium-magic, whole grain oat feel of greyhawk has great appeal for me I'm having a hard time getting a good mental picture of the current Greyhawk world. I've read a timeline and sorta know the big events, however i'm in an online game where we're in greyhawk and i'd like to have some broad sweeping generalizations about what nations, groups, and such that would be common knowledge for a 1st level mage. I don't exactly know what part of the world we're at (it hasn't really been defined yet) but any help would be appreciated. ps. I know, I know, I need to get that gazateer thingy...
#2 zombiegleemax Dec 18, 2003 14:19:24	you need that gazetteer thingie.;)
#3 zombiegleemax Dec 18, 2003 15:53:25	what he said
#4 Greyson Dec 18, 2003 17:12:48	I triple the above sentiment. If a player is serious about playing in GH, they are best served by obtaining The Living Greyhawk Gazeteer by Holian, Mona, et. al. :P

Now, you would also be best served by downloading the manuscript that I have a link in my sig for... you shall do nicely as a future minion, methinks :D
#6 Gnarley_Woodsman Dec 18, 2003 23:16:04	While the Gazetteer is a great piece of updated work, you should consult your DM about what materials he would like you to review. That way you dont stumble on to any spoilers. There is also a large amount of classic Greyhawk material to draw from that is easily downloaded from the web. Follow thislink. Cheers!

Well, in light of the fact that the Living Greyhawk Gazetteer is the only survey of the Greyhawk setting that's even remotely new, it's not a great leap . . . Besides, it's good advice. I'd agree, though, that you should start with your DM. Then, if your DM approves, get the LGG. After that, if you feel inclined to do some digging, I'd also encourage you to try to pick up some of the older materials that, like the LGG, provide a survey of the setting, although you should bear in mind that, unless your DM is playing in a historical period reflected in one of those older products, the LGG is what will reflect the current state of the setting.

Report to the Chamber of Eternal Indescribable Pain Torture and Incessant Tickling, minion! You shall pay for your insolence and learn that I, Delglath the Undying, am your one, true master!

Misspelling his name can make him coming looking for you. Talking about him stokes his already sizeable Ego. He'll have to start his war of conquest soon, his head is outgrowing the city he rules.
#12 zombiegleemax Dec 20, 2003 1:33:43	not sure, there are many staad's though all are fearsom in some respect or another, especially Ted Staad he likes pork with such an unerving passion that few can withstand his onslaught!

Hmph, some heroic adventurer you are, you can't even remember the name of the villians. It's STRAHD, not Staad. Originally posted by rostoff Misspelling his name can make him coming looking for you.

My dear, ignorant, small-minded, pathetic, weak mortal friend... the conquest has already begun. It began when I was reborn in my magnificent new form by my Lord Ivid and was enlightened by the wisdom and guidance of Nerull. The Great Kingdom will rule once more, and you and your lame band WILL fall before the might of my undead horde.

Shaggy: Like, I don't know, Thelma - crazy undead clerics of Nerull give me the creeps! I think Scoob and I will just make a run for the border and pick up some tacos. Scooby: (licks chops) Racos! Fred: Oh no you don't, we're gonna go check out Delglath's creepy castle! C'mon, gang! (Delglath peers through a crystal ball at the meddlesome kids and their gluttonous dog, wringing his bony hands with feverish glee.) Delglath: Yes, come, insipid, meddlesome kids! Come and provide fresh flesh for my ravenous minions! Moowahahahahahahaaaaaaaaa!!!!
