Pipes, Pints, and Polyhedrons

Interestingly enough, I was thinking about Greyhawk just earlier this week and started reading through From the Ashes, which came out during the AD&D 2e era. Overall, I think that box set is solid and seems suitable for anyone running 2nd edition. Greyhawk is one of those setting of which I missed the boat. As I've said before, by the time I started playing actual AD&D, the group I played with was running 2nd edition and mostly either homebrew or Forgotten Realms, with the occasional jump into Dark Sun, Al-Qadim, or Ravenloft.

The Greyhawk Grognard has a video that I ran across, giving his advice to anyone getting started in the GH setting.

Joe writes a lot of good stuff on his blog too at http://www.greyhawkgrognard.com/ including 5e GH material, expansions to material started by Gary and Rob, etc. His main product is his Castle of the Mad Archmage (his homage/version of Castle Greyhawk), and his Adventures Dark & Deep OSR game (a hybrid 1e/2e clone).

Allan.

I think I picked up a couple of the Castle of the Mad Archmage items and the PHB for Adventures Dark & Deep back at GaryCon or somewhere. Never got around to using them... but a lot of what I pick up is for inspiration / mining for campaign play.

Another video in which Joe discusses the deities of Greyhawk.

Another solid video comparing the Greyhawk setting to other TSR settings.

Greyhawk doth rocketh mucheth!

Sometimes less is more, I enjoyed this discussion.
