Where do you usually adventure in Greyhawk?

Post by slimykuotoan »

I usually find myself DMing in Yeomanry, Urnst, and of course most recently, Verbobonc.

The Wild Coast is a favorite of mine.

I've played in games usually in central Greyhawk . . Wildcoast, Gnarley Forest, Celene and the Duchy of Urnst.

I have since placed these areas, into my campaign world of Aihrde to the northwest of the Blacktooth Ridge.

And I've got Yggsburgh to the south of Greyhawk and due west of Maure Castle.

So far, my Greyhawk campaigns were based in a small barony near Elredd in the Wild Coast, in the Free City of Greyhawk, the Village of Hommlett, the Yeomanry and Atirr in North Province.

The characters in all these campaigns have traveled wide and far though and have explored many a place in the Flanaess.

Most of my adventures in Oerth took place in and around the Free City of Greyhawk. That was because the DM was using the 2e Boxed Set and 1e Hardback. Later, when he bought the From the Ashes boxed set, we travelled far and wide. I also played a bit of the Temple of Elemental Evil back in the day.

I recently GM'd a bit of 3e Greyhawk, which took place in the Lortmil Mountains. I haven't had the opportunity to play Castles & Crusades in Greyhawk yet.

Most of the campaigns I've ever runhave been on Oerth. I've run and played a lot in the western Flanaess, particularly in Keoland, Gran March, the Sea Princes, Yeomanry, Pomarj, Wild Coast, and the Domain of Greyhawk. Particularly lots of adventuring in GH and Keoland.

My favorite set ups are a campaign base set in highfolk with adventures set in the Yatils, Vesve, and the cold lands of the north.

And a campaign base that starts in the northern Wild Coast, and eventually moves to Greyhawk city, with the adventuring occuring from the Cairn Hills to the Pomarj and the forests to the west.

My longest running Greyhawk campaign was set entirely in and around the free city of Greyhawk and was played almost entirely from the city of Greyhawk boxed set. We had a blast and the characters topped off at around level 14-17. They owned their own homes inside the city and retired there. They still live there to this day.

All over the place! But usually end up back at the City of Greyhawk time and time again.

Nothing better then a good Howling Hills adventure... Wolf Nomads and the vile orcs and other enemies who stalk the region. Soul Husks... badass.

The Desert of Desolation series of course. Our group, when we were in Greyhawk, hung around Zeif and Ekbir.

Hey Alwyn, where are you in New Mexico? I sometimes go up to Albaquereshsfdkhh (however the heck you spell that name), and even vacationed up by Tahoe in Angel Fire last year.

So I was just wondering in case I ever drive near you. If you ever take I 10 into AZ past Wilcox I am just an hour south of Wilcox on 191 South.

Same here
Had most of the Vesve mapped in Campaign cartographer 1, but couldn't get it to change into CC2 format...

Treebore,

I live in Las Cruces, 3 hours down south of Albuquerque. I used to live in Arizona. I know right where Wilcox is, used to have some friends who lived there that I visited every once in a while. I lived in Sierra Vista from 1983 until 1987 while I was stationed at Fort Huachuca.

If you are ever down in the southern part of New Mexico, look me up. I might be going out to Huachuca next year, if I do, I will give you a yell.

My greyhawk expieriences and Dm areas stretched the breadth and width of the Flannaes. I am currently running 3 different 1st ed. groups from saltmarsh into the amedio jungle area, another from Yggsburgh into the cairn hills are, which i placed at the fork in the rivers just south east of Greyhawk city, and the last group is in Perrenland with one of thier number a wolf nomad ranger. I love greyhawk castle , the cairn hills, wild coast , yatil mtns, gnarley forest (with said temple) , Greyhawk is full of good adventure and not afew of my dead characters.

most of my games have centered around Veluna/Highfolk. I use Bigby as a major NPC so my PC will settle in Mitric. Lately, Sunndi has callled to me.

Darn, first time I have seen those. Great work, Dungeon Delver. Those one on one introductory adventures should prove particularly useful to play with my girlfriend; thanks a lot.
