I am looking for some help on running a Greyhawk campaign. I played in one a
few years ago and it was fun but I have no material and really can't afford
to pay the prices the OOP stuff goes for on Ebay. I would prefer to use the
older Material like the World of Greyhawk, Grey Hawk Adventures, and From
the Ashes. The guy who ran the old campaign seems to have dissapeared so I
can't borrow from him. Can someone point me to a place online that has
enough info to run a basic campaign until I can afford some of the material
that doesn't break Copyright laws? Any help would be appreciated.

1. Bookmark the "Codex of Greyhawk" site. Tons of information.

2. Several other sites can be found by searching under "greyhawk" in Yahoo or
your engine of choice.

3. Subscribe to the Greytalk list. There are some excellent folk on that
list, with such luminaries as Erik Mona, Ian Malcolmson and EGG visiting the
list from time to time. The folks there love the setting and are always
providing more and more ideas for you. Subscribe by sending a message with the
text "subscribe greytalk" to list...@mitvma.mit.edu (I think I got that
right...) or look up the "Greytalk Rising" site, the official site of Greytalk.

When I started my most recent campaign (now on hiatus, but I hope to restart it
this summer) several people there dug up and posted some old info I was having
trouble finding in the archives. You'll enjoy yourself there

Other than these things, you're just gonna have to pony up. You can get the
original WoG for substantially less than From the Ashes. I had to fork over
$60 for that one, only $20 for WoG. Frankly, the newer Player's Guide to
Greyhawk and The Adventure Begins are very reasonably priced resources, but
they are later in the timeline.

Good luck :-)

If you want one of the two best greyhawk products, look at wizards online for
IVID THE UNDYING. Get the maps too.

It will provide you with more than enough adventures. Here are regions I would
run a campaign:

* Grandwood, near Medegia and Rel Astra
* North Province, right next to the bone march
* Adri Forest, Knurl with connections to the Gnolls and Gnomes battling in the
Flinty Hills.
* A single high-level adventure in Rauxes would be COOL too.
* Almor..nuff said :)
