Mar 14, 2007 18:18:48 Hello Fellow Adventurers,
I have just started running a Greyhawk campaign and was wondering something about the gazetteer. When an entry for a city lists its religions, say Pelor, St. Cuthbert, Kord and others, is there churches just for the named religions or does that mean the other faiths may have churches, just not big ones?
I was wondering how you all handle that. Also, do you know of any sources where I can get more Greyhawk gods, race info, and these rumored regional feats I hear of?

Thank you!

The Core Beliefs series in Dragon Magazine is another source on Greyhawk religions.

Mar 14, 2007 21:22:23 hello there. if you are looking for information on the Greyhawk setting, i would recommend checking out Canonfire. It has a lot of useful Greyhawk information. It has somewhere a list of all the temples and all the buildings in the City of Greyhawk. It also details on another list, all the major personages of the city and its environs. If it is not on Canonfire, i am sure you will be able to find it elsewhere. Worse comes to worse, i can email you the maps, and the lists.
As for how do i deal with all the mountains of information in the setting, i just print it out, and put it in my Greyhawk campaign binder. I currently have just started a campaign also based out of the City of Greyhawk. I just deal with it one step at a time, and as the PC's come across it. Some would say that i have too much information, but i think it is best to be prepared for the unexpected.
Sources for the Greyhawk Gods, they would be in the Core Beliefs, and they also have a wealth of knowlege at Canonfire in their fourms. The regional feats are in two Dragon magazines, which i do not have handy.
Hopefully this helps somewhat.

Mar 14, 2007 23:54:56 Grimsh makes a good point. Also check out the Oerth Journals; there's lots of info there.

Mar 15, 2007 18:00:53 Thank you for the quick replies. And thanks grimsh for the notification on all the lists and such. I found on the RPGA site, the download for all the Greyhawk gods. This will prove a very useful source.

Mar 16, 2007 3:38:25 Also a good source for Greyhawk are older edition campaign settings - You can buy their pdf versions from www.paizo.com with a reasonable price (ca $4 a piece).

Greyhawk regional feats were in Dragon magazines nr 315 & 319, these are published and also sold by Paizo.

Best Regards,

There is no such thing as having to much information my gnomish friend,
you have even helped me out with a few things about Oerthian lore in the past!

Listen to Grimsh, he is very wise in the ways of Oerth and a good friend!

BigJohn, All the best in your adventures! :D

The place for City of Greyhawk info, as well as lots of other info about the World of Greyhawk in general and several other cities in particular is, of course, my website. Go to the clickable sitemap and you'll get an overview of what's there.

yes Maldin, your site is wonderful indeed! i used much info from your site for my first Greyhwak campaign! I loved your idea of the PC's going back to the weeks before the Twin Cataclysms, i had to use that as a basis for a part of the campaign. Your site is awesome!
