Greyhawkery Comics: Cultists #45

Welcome back to the next chapter in the ongoing classic "adventure path" of the Cultists of Tharizdun. If you follow the links below you will see so far, they have been through Mordenkainen's Fantastic Adventure in Maure Castle, the Steading of the Hill Giant Chief, fought against the Cult of the Reptile God in Orlane, then explored the Slave Pits of the Undercity below Highport. What's next for the dastardly duo? Check it out and enjoy!

p.s. For those new to the World of Greyhawk setting, map coordinates refer to the 1980-1983 Darlene hex map that had coordinate letters and numbers along the sides. Early Greyhawk modules would have these coordinates in the text so DMs could follow without the players knowing the location. That said, the Cultists are evil, so they do not care about SPOILERS!

Greyhawkery Comics: Cultists #44

Well met Greyfellows! The ongoing adventures of the Cultists of Tharizdun have finally led us to the eponymous classic location they have sought out. Those of you who have also adventured beneath the city of Highport will likely recognize this part. It's been fun for me artistically, let's see if the doomed duo is having as much fun fighting through it. Enjoy!

Greyhawkery Comics: Cultists #43

Welcome in dear Greyhawk readers. When last we saw the Cultists of Tharizdun, they were sneaking their way into the Undercity of Highport looking for a rival cult behind the Slave Lords. Those of you familiar with this classic story will not be surprised by what they find down there. I will admit this is one module I've never ran but played once at a convention. After seeing the Cultists run through it however, I'm not sure I want to ever run it! Speaking of which, let's see how the guys are doing. Enjoy!

Greyhawkery Comics: Cultists #41

Well met, Greyhawkers! The Cultists of Tharizdun recently finished up in Orlane (follow the links below to see their previous adventures) and have moved on to another possibly classic location in the Flanaess. What could go wrong? Enjoy!

Greyhawkery Comics: Cultists #40

Well met heroes of the Flanaess! If you saw previously, after a few setbacks against the charmed citizens of Orlane, the Cultists of Tharizdun finally came face-to-face with the "Reptile God". It seems after several well-placed puns they have come to an understanding. Let's see how things turned out. Enjoy!

Greyhawkery Comics: Cultists #39

Welcome back to the ongoing adventures of the Cultists of Tharizdun. The dismal duo has been locked in a struggle to root out a rival cult in the town of Orlane, only to be drugged, captured, moved to a lair in the Rushmoors, escaped, and captured again. What else could go wrong? Oh right, they could meet the "Reptile God". Let's see how this plays out. Enjoy!

Greyhawkery Comics: Cultists #38

Welcome Greyhawk enthusiasts! If you haven't figured out what classic mod the Cultists of Tharizdun are mired in, then you'll know now. The fun in writing and producing these last few comics is that I was not familiar with the adventure except in reputation; in fact, I never owned the module until recent years. My critique having read through the story is that I need to run this someday for my friends (non-cultists). In the meantime, I'll have to settle with watching the deranged duo tear through more Greyhawk canon. Enjoy!

Greyhawkery Comics: Cultists #37

Welcome again to another wacky installment of the Cultists of Tharizdun. If you're just joining in, the demented duo has been on the trail of a rival cult in the town of Orlane. Some of you may know this humble town from a certain classic module I won't name yet. If you do know about it then you'll be familiar with my favorite part, the attention to detail for the names of liquors and taverns. Speaking of, let's see how the guys are doing with the hospitality in Orlane. Enjoy!

Greyhawkery Comics: Cultists #36

Welcome back to the ongoing adventures of the Cultists of Tharzidun. As you may have seen last episode, the deranged duo has traveled to Orlane to confront a new rival cult. If there is one thing evil cults never do, it's work well with each other. Speaking of obscure religions, if you know the source material of this storyline, you probably heard of Merikka. Merikka is such an obscure Greyhawk deity that I believe this is the first time I've EVER mentioned her in any comic I've done in nearly twenty years. Let's see if it's worth the trouble for the guys. Enjoy!

Greyhawkery Comics: Cultists #35

Welcome back Greyhawkcore fans. With the conclusion of Under, my focus now shifts entirely to the antics of everyone's favorite Cultists of Tharizdun. Last we saw they were searching the Steading of the Hill Giant Chief, but in the intervening time they've moved on. To where? Let's find out. Enjoy!

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.

Greyhawkery Comics: Cultists #27

Welcome in brave adventurers. The Cultists of Tharizdun continue to explore the famous dungeons below Maure Castle and it seems the goal of their malign campaign is nearly in sight. Yes, of course this was no random dungeon crawl. These guys are certifiably insane, but they are very good at uncovering lost magical treasures. There is naturally one last impediment to a successful run of this fantastic adventure. Let's get to it, enjoy!

p.s. Be sure to check out the next episode of Under following this comic. I am releasing two comics a week for the time being.
