Now, on to Part III, the last stage. We look forward to seeing your submission.
Part Three – Monsters and other Creatures of Greyhawk
Due – Sunday, September 11, 2005
This August, Topic Three ask contributors to help us fillthe Greyhawk Bestiary. From the Greyhawk Dragon to the Camprat, detail a monster or creature unique to the World of Greyhawk, either an existing one or one of your own creation. The goal of this topic is to discuss what makes the creature unique to Greyhawk. Where on Oerth did they come form? What effect does your creature have on the land, people and other creatures around it? What good or evil has it caused, and what lies in its future? These are just a few of the questions your might answer. Your article may take any direction, drawing on existing species or devising something entirely on your own. Or, you can just detail the lair of a monster for use in an adventure.
Statistics are welcome for any edition of Dungeons & Dragons®, but creative effort is better spent on the elements that make your subject interesting and unique to Greyhawk. Why is your Order of Kua Toan Turtle Riders so important to Blipdoolpoolp’s work in the waters of Oerth? What restless power tenacioulsy binds the sword wraith to the realm of the living?

About Postfest
A Postfest is a design challenge where fans of the World of Greyhawk write their own takes on a given Greyhawk topic. Then everyone gets to benefit from the new material created. Postfests originated on the TSR/AOL mail list when the World of Greyhawk was an inactive setting. Members of the list submitted written entries to the list, and many aspects of Greyhawk saw continued development. The only thing that has changed is that Postfest has moved from a mail list to a Web based platform. The written topics are still set in Greyhawk and fans from far and wide are all invited to participate. There is no prerequisite or experience necessary – the Postfest is for everyone and anyone who is willing and able to write about the topic and submits his or her entry before the deadline. All of the entries are subsequently published and shared on the Canonfire! Web site for all to enjoy.
