Jun 13, 2004 19:09:36 Can you tell me about this?

When events take place?

What difference between AG: G1-3 and AG: Liberation of Geoff?

Can you describe me events involved?

Any other that I should know?

Thanks for help

Jun 13, 2004 19:34:13 The major differenc is that AtG and LoG is that the latter is the current state of affairs. Circa 591CY. The events of AtG take place a few years prior to that. For the sake of being complete the authors included updated (2e rules) renditions of the G1,2 and 3 modules.

Liberation of Geoff is the basis for the Living Geoff campaign for the RPGA. I find that site to be an enormous source of information for my game.

Hope that helps.

Good Gaming!!!

Jun 14, 2004 9:24:01 If you are referring to weather or not the modules were placed in the Greyhawk campaign, then you are right and wrong. The modules do not state any names concerning villages or regions drawn from the Greyhawk campaign setting, and therefore can be placed anywhere at the behest of the DM. However, since thier printing the module were reprinted into the Queen of Spiders Super-Module which clearly places them in the Greyhawk setting. The modules have become almost iconic in that they are considered the first published Greyhawk campaign.

Good Gaming!!

Hill Giant steading: hex P5-129
Frost Giant rift: hex S5-134
Fire Giant hall: hex M5-138

Jun 14, 2004 12:22:33 The gold box 'World of Greyhawk' campaign setting lists locations for most of the AD&D modules that had been published before it.

Here is a link that lists these locations:
http://www.dracheninsel.de/insel/add/greyhawk/modules.htm

Since most of these come from the campaign setting, I consider them 'official' as far as Greyhawk goes.

Jun 14, 2004 21:33:25 The modules text however does not place themselves in Greyhawk. This leaves them open to interpretation. As much as I am an enormous Greyhawk fan truth be told the modules/events were only "added" to the setting later.

Good gaming!!!
