The Grodog's Dungeons & Dragons
A game that has fired my imagination for more than two decades,
Dungeons & Dragons has risen from the ashes of may apathy with the D&D 3rd
edition, and rekindled flames from embers I thought had long-turned cold.
Campaign
The World of Greyhawk was my first love in D&D,
and I have returned to my roots with the WotC release of D&D 3rd edition. My Greyhawk site features my
own delvings into esoteric and scholarly Greyhawk lore, as well as my
Greyhawk-specific 3rd edition rules variants.
In addition, I really liked the process of piecing together bits
and pieces of lore from The Dragon about The Forgotten Realms, back before
it became the default D&D setting for 2nd edition.
Lastly, I have my own campaign world, called Mendenein.
I may even post stuff about it someday, although it's an amalgamation of Tolkien,
Moorcock, Greyhawk, the Forgotten Realms, Thieves World, and other mostly-ripped off
stuff.
The Grodog's Vault
Now that my D&D materials have arrived in California, I hope to begin converting
them to 3rd edition sometime during the year 2001. However, given the amount of work
that my Greyhawk site has required, I wouldn't hold
your breath.

D&D Research
- Scott Riddick's The Acaeum
is the premiere site for D&D research. A comparative repository of the
editions of most pre-1990 D&D books published by TSR, The Acaeum sets the standard for D&D research
for all pre-1990 D&D products
- Matthias Bock's non-TSR D&D
Publishing lists, a repository of publishers and products produced for D&D
(either officially or unofficially), but not by TSR or WotC
- Adrian Newman's TSR
Archive is not as detailed as The Acaeum,
but does contain two a good resources that The Acaeum lacks: many of the scans on
Brenfrow's web site are of higher quality (and therefore more readable), and Adrian
includes summary information about early TSR product (often reproducing the front and back
cover blurb text).
Gaming Magazine Research
- White Dwarf Magazine Indices: prior to becoming the
Games Workshop house organ, White
Dwarf served up a nice smattering of fantasy content, including D&D
adventures, magic items, etc. in the tradition of The Dragon; the following two
indicies seem to be best among those I've found online:
