Hail friends of Greyhawk. You may or may not have already seen, but the newest issue of
Dragon+ (a periodical I have slacked in reading) has a new article that is a must read.
Behind the Screen: Greyhawk by
John Roy and
Luke Gygax is both a nostalgic ride to the early years of Greyhawk and D&D and also a quite thorough summary on the mood and themes of the setting for those thinking of running Greyhawk for the first time. It covers all the sources for
5th Edition or in classic books on
DMsGuild, that one would need (up to and including the newest announced book,
Ghosts of Saltmarsh) for a proper Greyhawk campaign.
Kudos to John Roy for writing this piece! There is also a mention in the article of Luke Gygax's panel,
Growing Up Gygax, at
Gary Con XI in March. I will be there possibly because I'm also in a panel at the con,
Celebrating Greyhawk: A Fandom Renaissance which is right
AFTER Luke's. Come see me along with
Anna Meyer, Bryan Blumklotz, Carlos Lising, Kristoph Nolan and Allan Grohe. Hopefully we get some spill over from the Gygax panel to talk more Hawk!
Update 06/24/2021: Removed old convention links. Needless to say Gary Con XI was a blast and if not for COVID we would have done it again.
