Buying Stuff?

Since Greyhawk, or whatever the Free City is in your campaign, is a major Metropolis, how are you going to handle PC's buying stuff? Personally, this is my least favorite aspect of 3.5 DnD, the buying and Item Creation. My PC's with a couple Web spells and a few fireballs, creamed the Lizards at Blackwall Keep. Now they are off into the Mistmarsh, but I imagine I have about 3 weeks before they travel to Greyhawk. I am worried that with the prevalence of Magic Items, and the buying and selling of such, that they will become too tough. How are y'all going to hancdle it?

The Wormfood in Dragon #337 covers this point exactly.

I'm actually in the process of writing it right now.

It's neat. Basically, the article will give some brief descriptions of locales the PCs can visit to purchase stuff, as well as some notes on peculiarities of the transactions, etc.

Cool.

Are there plans for a Free City Backdrop?

Eric,
I plan on using Greyhawk:The Adventure Begins. Are you going to give ideas as to where to place the locales within the city, or are you leaving it up to us? I downlaoded Maladins Greyhawk map, printed it, and am in the process of labeling everything from The Adventure Begins.

My question was basically this: I would imagine anything is sellable or purchaseable in the City. I know my players, and they will pool all they have, to buy something big. Should I let them do it, or should I begin reducing the treasure now, so they cannot get the Big Magic Widget?

Chris,
If you are using Greyhawk, I would highly recommend getting The Adventure Begins. I picked it up for 10 bucks on EBAY.

Eric, any copies of Living Greyhawk Journal 2 lying around? I really would kill for one of those? Or all of them actually.
