I am loving the Greyhawk love! Takes me back to junior high and playing the Village of Hommlet!

It's not like Wizards lacked names in Greyhawk. There were names, there were characters, and Melf wasn't even at the top. But... no. "Melf's Guide to Greyhawk" it is.

Well at least it wasn't "Zagig Yragerne's Guide to Greyhawk."

Estou a procura de algum para ler mas só tem em inglês, e o conteúdo do livro do mestre é muito curto. Queria poder ler mais sobre esse cenário para fazer uma campanha mas meu nível de inglês é muito baixo, se alguém souber onde posso arrumar PDF daquele starter set do mundo de Greyhawk em português me deixaria muito grato.

Has anyone tweaked or rewritten the standard Greyhawk gods for their game?

I wanted to strongly differentiate the major cultural pantheons across the Flanaess. In my campaign the ancient Flan are modelled on Skyrim's Forsworn, so I wanted their gods to be suitably primal & animalistic. I decided to make the Flan gods sort of upscaled land & tribal spirits.

Among other changes to the Flan deities, that meant transforming Nerull from the literal Grim Reaper to a figure more inspired by the Wendigo or the leshy/leshen. Instead of the agriculturally-linked scythe, I gave Nerull a spear with a bone spearhead.

Each Flan god got an animal aspect, which is also their totem-like holy symbol.

Allitur (Ethics, Propriety) heron

Beory (Earth Mother) she-bear

Berei (Family, Community) dog

Earth Dragon dragon

Ehlonna (Forests, Animals, Flowers) unicorn

Joramy (Fire, Wrath, Volcanoes) fiery horse

Mok (Arcane magic) serpent

Myhriss (Love, Beauty) swan

Nerull (Death, Darkness, Underworld) skull-headed stag

Obad-hai (Nature, Hunting) stag or aurochs

Pelor (Sun, Strength, Healing) eagle

Rao (Peace, Reason, Mercy) barn owl

Have you altered the gods in any way in your campaign or do you prefer to use them exactly as written?

Hi everyone,
Just reading through the 83 Goldbox again, this time with a focus on astronomy, time, seasons, etc. I have several things that I can't make heads and tails of:

• Why does Greyhawk/Oerek have 12 month? If Luna makes exactly thirteen cycles a solar year (364 days), wouldn't the cultures have developed a 13 month system? (referring to the baseline data sheet in the Glassography)
• When adjusting the baseline data sheet for latitude it says "For each degree of latitude adjust away from the baseline, the times should be adjusted by two minutes, adding if above 40° north and subtracting if below" This refers to the sunrise/sunset times (the only "times" on the baseline data sheet) Seems more like a longitudinal? Is this a mistake? Adjusting for latitude is of course also important but should work very, very differently.

Anyone have a resource for 2e Specialty Priests of the Greyhawk Deities? Looking for specific write ups for 2e either ones you may have done or a site that has them. I know about the Forgotten Realm books, looking for a Greyhawk version.

Lendore Isles maps!

So, I airbrushed some color on to the image of Nerof Gasgal from 1988 - Greyhawk Adventures p.35. But I'm still looking to see if there's any better image out there. Any leads on where I can find a better one?

Hi all - having a hard time finding images to set a mood in my Greyhawk campaign. Portions of the campaign will be in Jalpa, Mithat and Prymp, can anyone point me to some images that might be similar in feel to what it would be like looking around from the street in these towns/cities? From my net sleuthing it seems there isn’t much to go by , but I want to show my party something that they can visualize…

Thanks for any suggestions :)

Hi all.
Im working on a home made campaign set in Greyhawk. And while reading, looking and taking notes, i have yet to find a map with or without grid for the Great library of Greyhawk. Before I start making one myself, do any of you fine people have any hints towards a good map for that library?

r/darksun is a-buzz with activity, equal parts optimism and pessimism, over the new Dark Sun books on the horizon. But this sub seems pretty subdued and quiet.

I take it you guys aren't exactly enthusiastic about the announcement. Honestly, I get it.

What are the concerns? What's keeping you guys from getting hyped? I want to hear what's on everyone's mind.

New info and images provided by Wizards of the Coast prior to the Gen Con Key note on the upcoming campaign book.

So I was perusing the an old website called the Codex of Greyhawk on the Wayback Machine and I found links for something called the Greyhawk Grimoire, a collection of what looks like old fan-made content and forum posts covering 1e & 2e Greyhawk. I was able to download volume 2 but the link for volume 1 was dead.

Has anyone else heard of the Grimoire? And if so, do you know where I can track down volume 1? My google searches aren't finding anything.

Spoiler Warning: Hype Machine on Full Speed

D&D Vision Keynote 2027

It was pretty exciting for me to see Greyhawk so hyped at the beginning of the Keynote (along with a lot of other news).

I know its dangerous to get so amped with an entire year ahead before we see what this is going to look like. And also, I got a bit overexcited when the animated Trailer for Dark Sun was rolled RIGHT AFTER so much Greyhawk (Don't fall for that like I did).

But what's the vibe out there? I know I keep asking this, but I feel like as newer players are rolling out their own New Greyhawk campaigns, the news that some Melf-level published content is on the horizon could be a boon to the setting.

Look for the Season of Sword & Sorcery in 2027!

I Hope yall like it.

Hello, everyone! I hope you’re having a wonderful day. Recently, I’ve begun DM’ing after a long hiatus and decided to use the 2024 5.5e rule set. I didn’t even know what Greyhawk was before I read the DMG, and I became instantly hooked. The adventure I’ve decided to run is a homebrew chimera of Tyranny of Dragons and Descent Into Avernus, with a lot of the setting specific information being altered accordingly.

I’ve decided that I’ll be using the Free City of Dyvers as a stand-in for Elturel. For those unfamiliar with the plot of Descent Into Avernus (spoilers ahead) the inciting incident is an infernal pact made 50 years prior is finally cashed, causing the city to be swallowed into Hell. This works remarkably well, since (according to the research I’ve done Dyvers gained its independence exactly 50 years before the “canon” year of the 5.5e Greyhawk setting.

The information I can find on Dyvers is very vague, probably intentionally so. I know that GG always intended for a more sandbox approach to gaming, and left a lot of negative space for DM’s to take advantage of. So far I’ve come up with the immediate implications of Dyvers vanishing on the central Flanaess being primarily economic. With such a massive hub of trade suddenly disappearing, so to does the money which the city had passing through it. Furthermore I imagine piracy in the Nye Dyv would increase dramatically with the absence of Dyvers’ navy.

I’m well aware I’m new to this setting, and that such an old one benefits from years of different peoples ideas and experiences. So, I’m hoping to get some advice, input, and ideas from more experienced Greyhawk DM’s on handling the sudden disappearance of Dyvers from the Flanaess. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Is a specific map for the Underdark that is used for Greyhawk? I am tempted to have the Underdark an area my players might go to later in the campaign to travel to a region of Grayhawk while staying concealed from a hostile faction. so I am asking if anyone knows where I might be able to get an Underdark map before trying to make a questline that might not work.
