I still like having many prestige classes, races, and the like as this gives me more and more to choose from, both as a Player and in the creation of my NPC's.

Without beating a dead horse, I also am disappointed that there are so many prestige classes, races, and the like in this. I would have rather seen a selection of some of the "non-crunchy" articles from this great magazine.

I will, however, buy this product as I'm sure it will be of the highest quality.

Hi Camric,
I would love a copy of this! My e-mail is carlmund@dquell.com I wish they had done a Greyhawk Atlas like the FR Atlas in CC2
Thanks again so much,
Andrew

I am nearing completion of a map of Greyhawk using Campaign Cartographer Pro. It is essentially the map from the old City of Greyhawk boxed set, including the sewers. I *think* I'll be finished by this weekend, and I'd be glad to make the map available for download if there is interest. Note, even if you don't have CC Pro, you can download a free viewer for it at www.profantasy.com.

Hay Sol, where abouts in Aus are u?
We are playing the AoW in Western Sydney. Contact me at carlmund@dquell.com if you want in regards to maybe joining us.
Thanks,
Andrew.

Hi my shackled city order shipped on August 1st. It should only take 1 week to get to Australia ... 40 days later its still not here.

I have contacted customer service twice after the 31 day mark with no response. I think its more than ample time frame to allow a product to reach Australia from the USA.

Can someone please let me know whats going to happen next?

I still am waiting for #126 to hit the shelves here in Sydney, Australia :0(>
Andrew

Here's the story... #127 was supposed to hit the streets just before Labor Day, September 2nd to be exact. It's now September 10th and the mag has yet to arrive in ATLANTA. In other words, in one of the largest cities in the USA, the magazine has missed it's street date by over a week.

No, I'm not talking about subscriptions, which are subject to many things, including, apparently, rifts in the space-time continuiumn. I'm talking about when the magazine hits the store shelves.

I'm not ticked, just worried. My parties are about to hit EaBK and if they blow through it, I'm in trouble. So, ladies, gents, and others, is this a problem with the distributor, the publisher, or something else?

My goodness people, it's not hard to Convert!
I use Dungeon Magazines in a Homebrew World and with a different system (Rolemaster and DragonQuest (SPI))It really isn't that hard!!!
I think it's a good idea to set it in a default world. It appears Greyhawk is the one at the moment. Putting it in a world gives me an idea of the authors intentions rather than some 'vaugue generic'. I don't have to use the authors context, but at least I have it. More information to me so I can convert!
I say again, it's not hard to convert!!!
Re-naming Gods is not hard!!! and it gives me a little more information to go on.
I hope the next AP is not some 'Vague Generic' in regards to setting!

We have still about Two, possibly Three Weeks yet before #125 hits Australia. Usually we recieve Issues about Six Weeks behind (sometimes longer).
Aaaahhhhh! I hate the wait! Still we are a long way away (and are upside down ;o)>)
Andrew

We are still waiting in Australia :0(>
It's painful reading all the posts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Andrew

I agree!!!!!!!!!!
Greyhawk is simply not supported at all by WotC. Very sad for a supposed 'Default Setting'.
'Living Greyhawk' is ok (I play it), but sucks as a home campaign (unless you want only to play in your region of Greyhawk). In Australia, it's Perrenland with a flight of hundreds of miles to play other regions, except as Cores. I feel It is a very nice 'side trek' from a home campaign.
It certainly is easier to run a Campaign in FR or E with the stuff WotC produce for those settings. WotC, T$R both, it seems to me just really ignore Greyhawk.
Thank goodness for Dungeon! At least we have some great adventures to work with.
God Bless,
Andrew

Hi all,
Having been a Roleplayer a long time, Greyhawk holds a special place in my heart. Let me say now, I am sooooo happy Dungeon has included Greyhawk adventures (not to mention the Maps) on a regular basis. Please keep this up!
I now play a lot of Living Greyhawk. I know Dungeon has included a fair bit of LG material. I have most of it, except the early oop LG Journals. I hope these will become available as PDF's. Please keep this up!
My frustration is with all these great Greyhawk adventures you are producing! Can they be sanctioned by the RPGA to be Official LG Adventures? If so we could get the Certs for them and play our Official LG Characters. Here in Australia, we are part of Perrenland. So is New Zealand, which is close, but still a plane trip (over sea) away. It means a very expensive, international flight if we want to play in other regions. I'm not sure the RPGA really thought about this when the regions were created. Quite frustrating really. Apart from our own region, the only other Adventures are Cores and Meta-regionals. HOWEVER, Dungeon has produced such fantastic (cool) Core Adventures. The standard with most (if not all) is higher than the Official Sanctioned adventures. Certainly the Cartography and Artwork is. I know that LG is free, compared with you having to buy Dungeon (Note: I'll keep buying Dungeon) so this has to be taken into account.
BOTTOM LINE: Why aren’t these awesome adventures sanctioned so my official LG Character can play them and be Officially credited with a Cert? Dungeon did it once with Mad God's Key. Why can't this happen all the time? I'll put my hand up to submit Certs if that is an issue!
I appreciate the reward points, but I really would prefer the Adventures sanctioned.
...and yes, I'm a Christian and a Roleplayer. Somebody once said "is that like being a pygmy basketball player" LOL.

Yes!!!!!!!!! Please don't forget to include GREYHAWK in any setting sidebar........Please

Well, that's the big question, isn't it.

Greyhawk _is_ the core D&D setting. . . ;)

It appears that the e-Tools people are releasing Data Packs for the Adventure Path, presumably in 3.5. Take a look:

Is there a 3.5E conversion for the earlier adventures that were published in 3E format?

I agree! I would love to see the RPGA style certs, especially ones the DM could modify. I actually run a monthly get-together, use Dungeon adventures and make up certs for my tables. It would be great to have a cert already done that I just need to modify if needed.

I don't think sealing the adventure matters. although, butting RPGA style certs, that the DM could copy and hand out to players would be nice. After playing a few sessions with the RPGA, the cert card for magic items is something I have transfered to my game. Currently my Certs are just 3x5 index cards with different color edges and the item description written on them. RPGA style Certs would be nice, but they need not be useable with the RPGA, those should still be obtained in the regular way so as not to cause any chaos with the RPGA system...Is it still current? I played Living FR for a while, but found it had to many magical items and that the adventures usually turned into PCs solving all situations with their Deck of Certs. Living GH seemed better, but I thought that I heard that it had died.

ASEO out

I know you can't include all worlds in the AP, but please don't forget about Greyhawk (for the older gamers ;0)>)

I'm glad most people seem to have enjoyed the Shackled City. I suspect you're really going to like what we have in store for 2005.

Um.... if it's 20 modules long... that's more like 2005 and most of 2006! I've got no problems with that, especially since that would be a module a month. However, I do have some requests, so please bear with me.

First of all, let me start by saying that I love the series, and have recommended it to other GMs. But there have been several things wrong with it, mainly with inaccurate stat blocks. I've had several instances where the weapons NPCs were said to be using did not match what their stat block said they used. (Greataxes for Greatswords, for example.) Grappling modifiers have been added incorrectly for a few NPCs. (Believe me, I know. I have a half ogre monk grappler with the Vow of Poverty feat in my party, so I've had to use those grapple checks a lot!) Hookface was described early on as being female, but when the...

I agree with you Squid!
Mud Sorceror's Tomb was (and still is!) one of my all time favourites. If any beg for sequels, this one does. What an adventure path it could be! I wish I had the Authors e-mail!
Yes, I love follow ups!

Not necessarily,
I have a Soulknife as my primary. I would love to see the non-core classes supported. If it's only the core things and not much different, we have another Living Greyhawk on our hands. It can get a tad boring.
