Apr 23, 2005 19:02:24 Greyhack is the Greyhawk sourcebook for the Hackmaster RPG, which means there will be a certain level of parody and "silly" in it. It is supposed to be a fairly thick book though, and is the closest thing to a "REAL GREYHAWK PRODUCT!(TM)" that's going to come out anytime soon, so I for one am looking forward to it.

The bad news is, according to Jolly Blackburn, the product was delayed by Cartography/Art issues and won't be out till late this year, after the art is done and WotC approves the product.

Apr 23, 2005 22:42:36 The Greyhack Book going to be 3rd Ed style (D20) or 2nd Ed? If I remember correctly Hackmaster is very similar to 2nd Ed and doesnt use D20... am I mistaken?

And I don't know if they'll go through with it. After all, they have a similar project for Mystara (aka Known World) and it has been delayed forever.

Apr 24, 2005 14:36:57 I had a look at the Hackmaster system recently. I have to say I thought it was very rules and tables oriented, like an elaborate 1ed AD&D. I can't really make much comment, as this was merely my first impression. Likewise the modules did not seem to take themselves too seriously. It will nonetheless be interesting to see how they develop 'hawk', and I await this with interest.

I must confess when Hackmaster first came out it took almost forever for me to believe the adverts in Dragon weren't a wind-up. I was convinced that it was a joke from Kenzer (which I only knew about from the Knights of the Dinner Table strip).........
