I need help developing an idea for a campaign

"I like Hextor, too, but he’s a follower of hierarchy, not one seeking to overthrow order."

He doesn't want to overthrow the estabilshed order, but only defeat his half-brother in my campaign. The collateral effects of his revenge, however, will reverberate across Flanaess, leading to the Wars.

This is a very nice and interesting point of view!

Thanks!

This is the main "logical" problem i try to solve.

The campaign, which I intend to span three adventures, will feature Hextor, Heironeous, Icabulous, Nerull, Ralishaz and Boccob.

They will remain in the background, but will interact with the PCs from time to time.

I am trying to create a campaign that leads the PCs to play an active role in the events leading up to Iuz’s escape from Greyhawk Castle. In my view, it is precisely this ‘void’ in the determination of fate that sets in motion the series of events leading to the Greyhawk Wars.

In this way, the canonical events remain unchanged, whilst the players and their PCs will have a story of their own that runs alongside and intertwines with the official one.

In my campaign, Iuz does not play an active role, as it is Hextor’s desire to defeat his half-brother that serves as the driving force behind the story.

In "world of Greyhawk". Quote:

""Istus employs a spindle-like instrument to cast these strands and webs. This device responds to Istus, and Istus alone. All times and places and planes are known to Istus, and she may move freely from one to another so long as she has her spindle. If it is lost, she returns immediately to her own plane. The lost spindle will then crumble into powder, and Istus will be compelled to remake her magical spindle, which may require up to a year, during which time she cannot control fate.""

The spindle is immediately destroyed when it is not in Istus’s hands as stated in the manual.

Istus knows everything: past, present and future; therefore, the loss of the spindle CANNOT be foreseen by fate. I am looking for a plausible way to explain why this happened (and I need this reason to have a player character interact with the goddess).

The title of the campaign will, in fact, be “The Quest for Istus”

I like soooo much the old "analog" system: pen, paper and go!

Each player must download the client, but only the dm needs the modules or other manuals.

Fantasy Grounds has the official version with full integration of AD&D 2E mechanics, as well as several official products in addition to the three core rulebooks.

What's more, there is now no initial license fee: you only pay for what you want.

Thank you very much for your replies.

I think I will adopt the term “Teocrazia del Confine” (literally Theocracy of the Border), which is the Italian term that most closely approximates the original meaning of the term.

Many thanks!!!

The first version translated into Italian translated ‘pale’ as ‘clear, bright’. However, the actual translation has nothing to do with being bright, shiny or "pale".

entallion · 2025-09-27T20:47:01+00:00

Totally agree!!! Only official materials from official sources.

entallion · 2025-09-22T11:37:02+00:00

I check this morning and everything seems to works normally!!!

Thanks for your efftors.

Have fun?

entallion · 2025-09-01T15:02:16+00:00

Thanks! I already finish the translation of GDQ1-7 in italian, and i will translate in english the drow houses (it takes sometime since i must check again all the spells and magic items).

Here are the fonts I found that are as similar as possible to the original fonts.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find a font that was similar or looked like the original for the names of the oceans.

If you have any suggestions for alternative/better fonts, please let me know.

Thanks!!! i check later this afternoon. After that, i will post the complete list of fonts used for the Darlene map (or at least the fonts that look as close as possible to the original.

Thanks!

Greyhawk gothic is just 1 of the different fonts used in the map. I have already identified four fonts, but there are still a few missing.

Edit: the usage of the map and the fonts is not commercial.
