Greyhawkery Comics: Under #9

Welcome back readers! Well it's been a long time since I posted an Under comic. Garycon was a reasonable distraction, but in any case, if you need a refresher follow the links below to see the story from the beginning. When last we saw the denizens of the under-Oerth they had come to the surface and passed by the landmark Temple of Elemental Evil. If not there, where are they headed? Check it out. Enjoy!

New Greyhawk Map: Perrenland Campaign

Hello Greyhawk friends! No comic this week but coming back from Garycon 2025 I am pleased to share a new map I worked on for my current 5.5E home campaign set in Perrenland! This map took more planning to execute than actual time to finish. Referencing Anna Meyer's 576 CY map, I got sucked into the rabbit hole of Living Greyhawk place names. The Germanic-Dutch naming conventions were too good to pass on, so in my map I have included 90% of what Anna has used. I will develop my own info on these places however as the game evolves. I used a pad of hex paper I acquired from Allan Grohe at Black Blade Publishing during Garycon 2024. This paper is huge, 17" x 22". I wanted a 5 mile per hex scale but by Pelor Perrenland and the Yatils is so spread out! In order to get MOST of the playable area on this map (I wanted as much of Lake Quag as possible), I tilted the paper to the right as you can see from the north arrow. Someday I'll get Krestible and the Mounds of Dawn onto an adjoining map. The map was drawn in pencil, inked by hand and digitally colored. I feel it's the best map I've done since my South Seas map. If you want a copy, you'll have to save them from this post. The first map below is done at 72 dpi, the other is at 144 dpi. Until next time, enjoy! 

**update 3/27/2025** By suggestion I have added a 144 DPI black and white base map. Enjoy!

Greyhawkery Comic: Tasha's Cauldron #9

Welcome again to another episode of Tash...er...Iggwilv's Cauldron of Stuff. If you haven't seen her previous "cauldron stuff", follow the links below to see more. Today's installment combines two of my favorite tropes of D&D influencers, fixing the game and self-promotion of a game product. Not saying Tasha wouldn't be down for this topic, but Iggwilv is much more passionate. Check it out and enjoy!

Greyhawkery Comics: Cultists #9

Welcome back to another maniacal episode of the Cultists of Tharizdun. One of their favorite pursuits is finding lost relics in an effort to destroy the world. Or part of it. Honestly, they'd be happy with just a city or two. At any rate tonight's artifact of choice is an obscure classic from the Greyhawk vaults, the Bringer of Doom was first mentioned in AD&D Monster Manual 2 but has had little actual elaboration outside Greyhawk fandom. The Cultists may have some insight on this item, check it out. Enjoy!
