Your blogspot is actually ...Well, MAD PROPS to you. Your blogspot is actually teaching me a lot as I work on my own. I have it set on private atm, working on the blog as a whole, fleshing my campaign setting out. YOU will be the first to see it before it even goes live lol I will get you granted access to it to look at.<br />I would however love to know what you used to do your color shading of your map. I want to do my campaign a little different and would want to shade my like you have yours but a little different. So would love to discuss this with you at length if you would like to shoot me an email at jamesfullard@mail.com.<br />I am also working on my opening adventure for my future campaign for my group. I am converting the Keep on the Shadowfell trilogy over to greyhawk and I plan to place it between Hardby and the Abor Alz mountains (a little closer to the mountains than Harby). <br /><br />In closing I just want to say, when I first got the D&D itch (after a couple years being afk) you and this Blog is what inspired me to jump back on my campaign blog. You have something very special here, and not to sound like I am someone special, I am proud of you as a Greyhawk fan for all you have done here. Wizards of the Coast has basically shoved this setting to the side to let it die off and it is people like YOU that keep it alive for the rest of us. Nothing but love and I mean that man.<br />PS I really do wanna learn how you did your map to be able to do my own, or hell I can even HIRE you to do my own map for me if need be :) shoot me an email.RPGrandPahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11146832751747640730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9034454877966866286.post-57473499904990866332021-03-02T10:27:54.750-06:002021-03-02T10:27:54.750-06:00James: And now I'm realizing you mean my entir...James: And now I'm realizing you mean my entire blog's body of work lol. I'm close 1000 posts. It's taken all of 10 years, but alot of my comics and Canonfire/Oerth Journal articles go back farther to 2002 I bet. Persistence is how you do it. I set a 2-3 post a week schedule and kept throwing content out. Some posts are more popular than others, you never know. When ideas are dry I'd promote other blogs or D&D news articles. You find ways to keep it going, especially if you belong to an active fan community like Greyhawk.Mike Bridgeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17741591268012556455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9034454877966866286.post-59336609500917986192021-03-02T10:23:57.132-06:002021-03-02T10:23:57.132-06:00James: Thanks man!

I've also had alot of practice shading maps with layers so thats actually the most enjoyable part of the process. Sometimes a long post takes a couple days to write though. Like when its a long article I'll write it then come back the next day and proof read it for mistakes or add stuff I forgot.

Absolutely use everything you find on Greyhawkery. That's why I share things from my own campaign. This particular article was a think-piece on if Iuz wins. If you browse around farther and see my 2E Greyhawk Wars series, you'll know IMC, Furyondy and Veluna are resounding victors. I've always loved the GHW too. As a fan of Tolkien, it reminds me often of the War of the Rings. Gondor vs Mordor especially. To have a demigod and his kingdom at your doorstep is high adventure.<br />Good luck in your campaigns going forward!Mike Bridgeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17741591268012556455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9034454877966866286.post-63376784727977380192021-02-06T18:02:04.350-06:002021-02-06T18:02:04.350-06:00I just recently returned to AD&D (classic 1st ...I just recently returned to AD&D <i>(classic 1st edition of course)</i> but I decided to return home to the World of Greyhawk. For some reason I have always loved the Greyhawk Wars time period & Post Greyhawk Wars, it gives the setting a dark & gloomy feel. I love those type settings because it allows the players characters to step in and make a small difference. <br /><br />I stumbled on this blog and have read it 3 times now, I really like it although it saddens me to see Furyondy and Veluna gone. I guess in order to shake things up those two nations needed to go. I am considering using what you have here for my personal campaign setting <i>"if that's ok"</i> but I love your line of thinking with this. Well done!RPGrandPahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11146832751747640730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9034454877966866286.post-50854483460890042832019-08-08T09:58:42.409-05:002019-08-08T09:58:42.409-05:00Hah, definitely.
