I want to (bluntly) promote my new fansite regarding the World of Greyhawk. :)
Many of you might know that the original setting of D&D was Greyhawk made by Gary Gygax, the inventor of D&D. The seasoned veterans might have even played in the setting while the newer generation knows Forgotten Realms.
Greyhawk is an amazing world lots of intrigue, politics and feudalism, paired with the classic fights between good and evil, as well as neutral wizards trying to balance the powers (Mordenkainen etc.)
Sadly, Wizards of the Coast has no plans to reintroduce the setting into 5th edition and many old modules are hard to convert.
I will produce one adventure a month, either part of a campaign path or a one-shot/sidequest adventure. Additionally, I want to write a blog about lore of Greyhawk and mechanics challenges that come with 5th edition and the world.
My first adventure, "Sickness of the Gnarley Forest" for 2nd level characters is a 45 page book consisting 8 battle maps, an overview map, 9 detailled NPCs and 3 additional monsters/npc stat blocks. And everything for free.
Furthermore, I will post in my blog on my website every monday and friday talking about homebrew mechanics for Greyhawk as well as famous persons of the setting with updated 5e stat blocks. This week we will talk about the Rest System and Mordenkainen.
I hope you are not to appalled by my blatant advertisement as I simply want to share my love for the setting while producing great content.
So long I hope to see you in the Green Dragon Inn,
I like to present to you my first adventure in the Sidequest adventures series, Shrine of Maglubiyet. My first adventure Sickness of the Gnarley Forest of the adventure path series was a success with over 100 downloads in the first three days! Thanks to everyone for the nice words and encouragement. Shrine of Maglubiyet is an adventure for 4-6 players of 2nd level and starts around the City of Greyhawk but it is easily converted into any homebrew session. It is a good one-shot to teach newer players the ropes of D&D.
Adventure Synopsis
The adventurers travel to the Free City of Greyhawk when a group of bandits attack two other travellers. After they fend them off they are introduced to Kaloran, the grandson of a professor at Grey College. Together they make their way to the institution and meet Professor Jusidan, the sage specialised in goblinoid creatures. The party finds out about a lost forgotten shrine to Maglubiyet, a hobgoblin deity, in midst of the Cairn Hills. Equipped with a map the professor wants to investigate the holy place. He hires the adventurers to accompany him and his grandson. On the way through the Cairn Hills they encounter two twin ogres and the new inhabitants of the cave to the shrine, a xvart tribe. But that is not all, a student of the professor’s knows about the shrine and promises a gang of thugs all the riches in the world could be found. Amidst all these sources of danger the party needs to protect professor Jusidan, an old man of 80 years. So he can see the wonders of the shrine of Maglubiyet.
Content
The 20-page book consists of a detailed description how to run this adventure. Additionally, 2 battle maps, 1 map of the Domain of Greyhawk, 1 new magical item and two detailed Random Encounters tables (day and night) for the Cairn Hills are provided.
For everyone who is more interested in my content, please check out my blog. I post every Monday and Friday. On Mondays, I talk about 5e mechanics and how they suit the Greyhawk setting. On Fridays, i talk about specific people in Greyhawk and convert them for 5th Edition.
Enjoy, Frogsama
