Oct 24, 2004 11:27:14 I am not particularly familiar with the 2nd ed Greyhawk setting, so I was wondering: where gods such as Pelor, Wee Jas, etc. (i.e. the ones listed in the PHB) origionally in Greyhawk, or were they added in 3.0?

And are there any online sources that have specific setting conversions beyond the PHB? While the default setting of D&D is Greyhawk, I doubt that everything has been even close to reprinted.

The gods described in the 3.XE PHB all originated in Greyhawk (though their GH version is sometimes a little different, as in the case of St-Cuthbert).

They are, however, but a small part of the Greyhawk's pantheon.

You should know that the PHB didn't endeavor to "reprint" in any way specific info pertaining to GH (beyond the sample gods). WotC current policy is just to use that setting as the "dumping ground" of any new rules they cook up.

The "true" World of Greyhawk is a bit different. Currently, it is being used by the RPGA for their Living Greyhawk campaign. Their website will provide you with a wealth of info.

Beyond that, there are many ways to acquire GH info. A visit to CanonFire and a healthy use of Google should satisfy your basic needs.

If you feel you need more, the 1E and 2E accessories once published for GH are available for a small enough price on various websites (i.e. SVGames, or RPGNow.com) as .pdf downloads.

I would also advise reading the sticky post up there about the GH FAQ ;)

You will also find the Core D&D (Greyhawk) gods in WotC's Deities & Demigods (Wotc; 2002). It is the v.3.x harcover that covers core apntheons - including Pelor, Wee Jas and company. And, you will d20 find "statistics" if that is what you are indeed looking for.

Happy gaming!
