An overview of my Greyhawk Campaigns
G'day!
In this 'blog, I hope to detail the exploits of the PCs in my ongoing World of Greyhawk game.
This game has its roots in a AD&D (1st edition) game I played (not DMed) back in the late 80s and early 90s. In that campaign I played a magic-user named Meliander Corthan. We set the campaign in 576 C.Y. or just before, and adventured through some classic modules, the Temple of Elemental Evil and the Slavelords series being two.
Eventually the campaign folded... but in the mid-1990s, I started a new campaign in the World of Greyhawk with a few friends using the AD&D 2nd edition rules with the Skills and Powers supplement. This featured a human archer named Starlin Farr and a cleric of Xan-Yae named Yahlos. After a few months, this campaign folded as well, but some of the gaming we participated in was the best I've ever done.
Fast forward to 2000. D&D 3E is just getting ready to be released, and I have finally found some new players. We begin a new campaign, beginning where the Starlin Farr campaign ended. The player of Starlin is one of the new players, and brings over his character, converted to the new 3E rules. (He was about 5th level). The new campaign builds on the themes of the old, meets up with characters from the original campaign (like Meliander), and generally we have a fine time. Characters advance from 1st to about 13th level.
In early 2003, the demands of Real Life (tm) begin to take hold, and I am forced to begin a new game, this time set in the Great Kingdom with new characters... but with a promise to the remaining players that at some time, they'll get to play their old PCs again.
At this time, the Great Kingdom campaign has been running for about a year and a half. There have been several PC deaths, but the current group of PCs has just reached 9th level. A couple of player changes in recent months have caused the composition of the group to vary somewhat. It looks like the campaign will shortly move to a new stage of intrigue...
