May 28, 2005 11:07:53 I hope still come here, cause I have an idea I need help with. Are there gamblers (the profession) in Greyhawk? Cause this will be a small part of my character which the main concept is a Traveler, wanderer, vagabond etc., and I thought about adding a gambler to the mix. The class I am is Bard for other reason but I am wondering if rogue would fit. Would either class work for the gambler/wanderer in Greyhawk?

Greyhawk City is run by a thieves guild, bet you they can show you where you can lose your purs...er...find a friendly game.

Norebo and Ralishaz, what a coincidence! ;)
