Hello 'Hawkers,

My Dungeon magazine subscription ran out at issue #100 a few years ago. Are there any issues that are very Greyhawk-oriented that I need to get my hands on? I'm trying to collect up all the decent resources I can.

Really, I'm trying to gather up everything Greyhawk I can from 3.0/3.5 to present. I have the Dungeons and Dragons Gazetteer and Living GreyHawk Gazetteer. It's been a while since I've run it -- since mid-80's First Edition, but I'm falling in love with the setting all over again.

Anyway, any advice is appreciated.

Thanks.

Ghul, Dungeon has a lot of items that can be ported to Greyhawk. But, if you are looking for copy specifically written for Greyhawk, I hope the following helps.

#103 - Glacial Inferno
Volcanic Cavern in the Abbor Alz, near the Urnst border.
7th-level characters

#105 - Racing the Snake
Town of Polvar in Ket and the Southern Yatils
6th-level characters

#105 - Critical Threat: Warduke

#106 - Tammeraut's Fate
Firewatch Island, Southern Nyrond Coast of the Relmor Bay
6th-level characters

#107 - Critical Threat: Evard

#111 - Strike on the Rabid Dawn
City of Hardby and aboard a ship.
15th-level 15 characters

#112 - Maure Castle
Abbor Alz at the Western Edge of Urnst
12th-level characters

#113 - Living Greyhawk: The Knights of Holy Shielding
Prestige Class, with history and game mechanics.

#114 - Mad God's Key
The City of Greyhawk and the Cairn Hills.
1st-level characters

#114 - Torrents of Dread
The Isle of Dread, set in the Densac Gulf.
6th-level characters

#115 - Raiders of the Black Ice
North-Eastern Edge of Blackmoor, bordering the The Land of Black Ice.
3rd-level characters

#117 - Touch of the Abyss
City of Istvin in Sterich.
11th-level characters

#118 - Shadow of the Abyss
In and around Istivin and the Joten Mountains.
11th-level characters

#118 - Throne of Iuz
The Defiled Glades on the Vesve Forest.
15th-level characters

#118 - World of Greyhawk Map, Part I

#119 - Wrath of the Abyss
Underoerth and in Istivin.
12th-level characters

#119 - World of Greyhawk Map, Part II

#120 - Lost Temple of Demogorgon
The Iron Hills.
14th-level characters

#120 - World of Greyhawk Map, Part III

#121 - Fiend's Embrace
The Cold Marshes.
4th-level characters

#121 - World of Greyhawk Map, Part IV

#124 - Age of Worms Adventure Path: The Whispering Cairn
Diamond Lake and the Cairn Hills.
1st-level characters

As you can see, there is a lot of Greyhawk content. The map alone is worth the price of a subscription - as is the the twelve part Age of Worms Adventure Path. I hope this helps. Happy gaming.

Heh, you've missed a lot. Erik "Greyhawk" Mona took over Dungeon shortly after #100 and has made some great strides in bringing Dungeon more GH material. You should also check out Dragon as recently there have been some really good GH articles, such as Iggwilv's Demonomicon.

[shameless plug] And of course, Beasts of the Scarlet Brotherhood in Dungeon 106 and Hardby - City of the Scorned in Dungeon 109... [/shameless plug]. ;)

Thanks to the power of the Fabulous Electric Internet, there's what looks like a pretty thorough listing of all the Greyhawk stuff in Dragon and Dungeon at:

Follow the link to the RPG database and look for greyhawk and magazine articles.

It is a work in progress though...

Greyhawk comrades,

Thank-you for this wealth of information -- particularly Greyson for taking the time out of your day to put together this great list of resources. Now I have to go Dungeon hunting, because my campaign (a home brew that mixes D20 Modern with a sort Narnia fantasy setting in which the characters jump to and fro these worlds upon death; yeah, it's complicated ) is coming to it end.

After years of home-brew, I look forward to delving back into an established setting like Greyhawk. I actually like the limited amount of "generic" materials, because I'm quite accustomed to my home-brew style (and so are my players); to simply jump into a very complex setting (Dragonlance, Ebberon, Realms) that is deep in history would be too much to swallow for me and my players.

Greyhawk is as extensive in its history and politics as the DM wishes it to be. It seems the most malleable of the settings, customizable -- the DM's clay, if you would. And then there is that bit of nostalgia I feel when I open up my old Gygax boxed set from 1st edition.

Anyway, thanks, folks. I look forward to being a regular contributor to this list.

Peace.

There is an Excel file that is a searchable database of all 3.x adventures in Dungeon. It includes the setting it was written for, level and some descriptive notes. You can find it here:

www.3d6.org

It is an excellent resource!

I hope it helps!

I've also got a very-recently-updated-but-still-not-quite-current Dungeons and non-Dungeons Adventures in Greyhawk index, available on my site at http://www.greyhawkonline.com/grodog/gh_dungeon_adventures.html
