it was just a little off).I was just wondering what everyone thought of this product, and how it compares to the rest of the Expeditions.
The other issue is that there are several levels that are RPGA levels (or so I believe). I did not get to play these as Living Greyhawk because the levels are much lower than my current character. I decided to run them later as a GM, however I noticed that it is broken into 3 or more parts. One or two levels are to be played at GenCon Indy 2007. The next set at GenCon UK 2007, and the last at GenCon SoCal 2007, which is now cancelled! So I assume the final part will be released before the year is out. These combined levels will somehow take the party from first level to the start of level 8.
If anyone knows if I got all of this right, let me know. I want the whole set. I have to run and report Fields of Ruin before I can start getting more Greyhawk Ruins.
The other issue is that there are side missions that are "Web Enhancements". I already found and downloaded all of that. I would also assume more may be in the upcoming online versions of Dragon and Dungeon e-magazines. So we will all have to keep our eyes peeled!
Good Luck,

First impressions are that it has delivered what was promised by the authors on these boards a few months ago. I am picking up some good references to the original campaign, which removes my main fear that it would be a bland setting-neutral book just trading on the name. Glad that the editing allowed Erik, James and Jason to work the material as they wanted (the ending excepted!).
Production quality also seems high, and overall this has to be, so far, my favourite published Greyhawk since the 80's!
I haven’t really followed Greyhawk too closely for some years, but I did buy this. My initial reaction was negative, but I continued pursuing it, and it did grow on me. Overall, I guess I liked most of it. Particularly, I was happy to see some meaningful urban adventuring opportunities. There were several treks to the ruins made with the time spent in between more than resting and selling loot. I wasn’t a fan of the Rary the Traitor material, so I liked the Robilar related stuff. I thought the whole Circle of Five concept was lame, so I was glad to read that group is no more. Another plot from the original Greyhawk Ruins I didn’t like was the Nerull vs. Vaprak conflict, and I was glad to see that that is now considered a thing of the past. I am torn about the number of Greyhawk personas included in the adventure. It’s cool to see a fitting reference to such luminaries, but name-dropping seems to be over done in a lot of the Greyhawk material I have read.
Oh, and this is my first post on WoC forums.
I'd like to turn this book into a whole campaign, anyone else tried this?

I noticed something intresting in ETTROG. They mention an oriental land far to the west. Shou leng or something like that. Does anyone know anything more about the oriental lands of Greyhawk? This was the first I ever heard mention about it and I am interested in knowing more.
Can you please provide the actual auote? Shou Lung is a nation in the Kara Tur setting.
without a guardian. The dragon carved into the ceiling is
in fact an exotic dragon from the Far Western Shaofeng
Kingdom. On a rare trip beyond the Baklunish West, Zagig
and his companions spotted this creature, a young adult
t'ien lung named Han-Tan Chun. With his serpentine
shape, his dull gold scales, and his multicolored mane and
whiskers, he seemed more like a treasure than an enemy,
so the company captured him and brought him back to
Castle Greyhawk. There Zagig enslaved the dragon and
bound him into this mosaic to provide amusement for
his friends and a surprising challenge to any who might
attempt to break into the treasury.
