Greyhawkery Comics: Cultists #34

Welcome in Greyhawk fanatics. It's time for another Cultists episode. They've been tooling around the Steading of the Hill Giant Chief and now have come upon the mystery hidden beneath. This part of the dungeon eluded me in my youth, but now seeing the Giant Series as a whole, it makes more sense to me. Rather, it should make perfect sense to these two loveable maniacs. It's one of those IYKYK things about Greyhawk. 

p.s. Starting next week, I will be running five straight weeks of Under to finish the series out, then my programming will be 100% Cultists for the foreseeable future. Huzzah.

Greyhawkery Comics: Cultists #33

Welcome back in, Greyhawkers! Gary Con 2026 was a blast, if I met any of you readers at the convention then it was a pleasure, if not then you really should go. I ran a game with the Tower of Gygax event, and I was dressed as a cultist of Tharizdun. Only half the party died or went insane. I will do better next year! Meanwhile the duo of doom has searched deeper yet into the Steading of the Hill Giant Chief (see links below). Let's see what evils they have done this time. Enjoy!

p.s. I am back to releasing comics once a week. Stay tuned.

Greyhawkery Comics: Cultists #32

Welcome back avid readers! Gary Con 2026 is upon us, and by the time you are reading this I'll be in the frozen hinterlands of Blackmoor (aka Wisconsin) with many other fans sharing some Greyhawk adventures. Meanwhile, the Cultists are still stuck in the middle of the Steading of the Hill Giant Chief. If you've played this module then you know where they're at currently. This classic module has been adapted to near every edition of D&D, and even the most recent 5E version in my opinion was fun to run. Speaking which, let's see if the Cultists are having fun or not. Enjoy!

p.s. This is the last week I will be post two comics in a row. Be sure to also check out the thrilling tale of Under.

Greyhawkery Comics: Cultists #31

Welcome again to a new installment of the Cultists of Tharizdun as they make their way into the famous Steading of the Hill Giant Chief. One of my absolute favorite things in this classic module and probably in all of D&D lore, is the random chart for giant bag contents. This is something the 5E accessory, ahem, Bigby Presents Glory of the Giants does well in adding to the flavor and unique contents of giant bags. At any rate, how did the Cultists get inside the steading? Looks like stealth of course! Enjoy!

p.s. Be sure to check my short story Under as I am still posting two comics a week until after Gary Con next week.

Greyhawkery Comics: Cultists #29

Welcome back dear readers! This week, fresh off finishing Maure Castle, the wacky Cultists of Tharizdun embark on another classic adventure from D&D fame. I'm sure everyone will recognize this one because in 2004, Dungeon #116 ranked the trilogy the 3rd best of D&D module of all time. This series has been updated or expanded upon in every edition (including 4E). I personally ran this in 5E for my players not that long ago, and it was just as enjoyable as 1E. We've all seen it or played it, now, let's see how a couple villains manage. Enjoy!

p.s. I am still posting two comics a week through Gary Con 2026, be sure to check the next installment of Under after this comic.

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!

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 #4
