Locations on GH Poster Map

[ASEO]

First, I have to say that this map project is fantastic. I like Eric pieced togather every GH map I had and did a similiar homade job years ago that fell far short of the great map that came with DUNGEON 118.

I do have one question about the map...

Will there ever be something published that will list the Dungeon locations marked on the map along with a reference to what printed material that reference was found?

As much as I hate to admit it, I'm not familiar with Folly, or the Dungeon of Bleeding Walls, not to mention a few others on the map. I was wondering of these were flushed out locations, or just mentioned in a Gazetteer. I'm pretty sure the Egg of Coot was never flushed out.

Are the DA series modules considered GH? I was pretty sure Temple of the Frog had a link to Expedition to the Barrier Peaks.

ASEO out

I might eventually get around to producing such a list. I'd planned to, originally, before I was handed Dragon on top of Dungeon. Something had to give.

Folly and the Dungeon of Bleeding Walls (I think) were described briefly in "Iuz the Evil," a late-era second edition product that I think you can get as a PDF from WotC. It's definitely worth it. A great resource.

The DA modules are not canonical for Greyhawk per se. Things have "echoes" between the various Blackmoor-related campaign settings in that region. Use what you like and throw away the rest.

I don't think there are explicit ties between Expedition to the Barrier Peaks and Temple of the Frog. Both involve futuristic technology.

I've never been a Greyhawk player and don't know very much about it, but I love the maps. I especially like the link up with the recent dungeon adventure that was published. I was staring at the forest wondering about the area, and then there's an adventure set right there. :P It was kinda nifty.

I wonder tho, are some of the locations from video games (ToEE) going to be appearing on there? I searched for them, to see if I recognized any of the places, but I didn't... I'm not really sure what region they are in.

I'm thinking about maybe picking up some material for Greyhawk and DM'ing it for my players. The more and more I hear about it, and the more video games I play that are based off it, the more it sounds like the type of world I enjoy... It actually sounds alot like my homebrewed world, except my world is a much darker place. It'z like Greyhawk mixed with Ravenloft-ish type themes (but not all horror, just a very broken world). :P (It even has a major city named Blackmoor... I have no idea what it'z like in Greyhawk, but it'z not a nice place to be in Caladaine... Especially lately...)

Anyways, great job on the maps. When I pick up a campaign guide to check out Greyhawk, they'll definately come in handy :) Keep up the good work!!!

Folly was the setting of a pretty decent adventure by the Head Brothers in Living Greyhawk. I think it was a Core scenario and probably still available. The two main NPC's are very well written and memorable but the adventure itself is very "zany" because of its ties to the eccentric Zagyg and the sorts of experiments he did to create the "town" of Folly.

Highly recommended if you want to run or play in an LG adventure.
