Best experience you've had adventuring in Greyhawk...

Pour moi, well, unfortunately I've never had a DM run me through Greyhawk, so I can only mention that I've run some purty cool adventures there for various gaming groups.

I'm almost always the CK for every campaign and system we do.

But....one time when the planets and stars aligned just so....

I played in a Greyhawk 2nd Edition game as a dwarf fighter named Thargan Hammerbinder. It was an awesome, long running campaign and the highlight of it for me was completing the Axe of the Dwarvish Lord module and my dwarf returning to the Prinicpality of Ulek with it in an attempt to help drives the orcish armies out of the eastern provinces.

I loved that campaign. My screen name is drawn from that game.

I'm DMing a group that has just dove back into Greyhawk and the joy of that return is, in and of itself, a rush.

I was part of a group that came down to Hommlet from Verbobonc, on caravan guarding duty. Once arriving in Hommlet, the hired caravan guards looked for other things to do, and after much exploration of the town, we were finally hired by two would-be lords of Hommlet to check out runors of bandit activity over in an old Moathouse miles east of the village. Getting together with these near-strangers whom I'd only known for a few days (in game time), we cautiously headed towards these ruins for high adventure...

I'm also usually the DM; the times I've actually played a character in extended campaigns have generally been in the Wilderlands or a homebrew setting.

As a DM, too, generally I've run Wilderlands. Right now, though, I'm running a Greyhawk campaign that started as a one-shot session dedicated to Gary's memory. It's a pretty awesome campaign, even though the characters have often ended up getting the short end of the stick.

I'm usually the CK er DM...whatever. But I did start my very first cleric character in Hommlet way back in the day. I still have the character sheet and first map I tried to draw from the DM's descriptions in my folder o' memories. Might be time I dusted him off for an appearance in my current game.

My coolest experience in GH? As a player? Hmmmm... Fortunately for me I have lots to chose from.

Probably when we went through Castle Greyhawk. That hollowed out living red dragon in the lower levels still freaks me out to this day.

Over the years I have played and run many sessions within the Greyhawk setting. Very soon I'll be a player in a C&C Greyhawk City campaign that I am very much looking forward to. Hopefully that campaign will add some great adventuring stories to Greyhawk.

But if I had to pick just one favorite experience playing Greyhawk, it would have to be while I was running The Forgotten Temple of Tharizdun module. The group was just dynamite. Through some superior RPing, the whole adventure took on a very cthulhu-like level of paranoia and horror. The characters started to turn on one another at times, and this worry turned the players themselves paranoid. The experience was very surreal and one of the best RPG experiences I ever had.

Good times, good times.

All my first games trying to make it in and around Hommlet. I lost a half dozen characters before I actually made it to level 2. Great memories.

Dungeon of the Slave Lords (A1 thru A4). Started out in Highport in the Pomarj and ended in the heights of the Drachensgrab. When we were finally able to come back after them after being enslaved, it was most excellent and very gratifying.
