grodog's Favorite Greyhawk Links
These are the best Greyhawk-related web sites that I have found
on the internet. I hope you enjoy them as much as I have!
- Joe Bloch's Greyhawk Grognard web site and blog - an old-school approach to Greyhawk; Joe has also compiled several useful resources for Greyhawk research, most especially his Greyhawk Lore Project (a compilation of Greyhawk research notes culled from many sources)
- Ant "Echohawk" Brooks' Greyhawk Collector's Guide - the most-comprehensive listing of Greyhawk products created to date. It definitely supercedes other such listings, including Russ Taylor's Greyhawk Product Checklist. Ant also has similar listings for each edition and setting of D&D, with discussion and updates still being made in the Greyhawk Collector's Guide thread.
- Canonfire! - _the_
Greytalk fans web site, and it's Greyhawk forums; as of July 2020, the site in the midst of some long-needed upgrades and overhauls!
- vestcoat's "Greyhawk Year In Review" threads provide a very useful retrospective look at continuing development---official and unofficial---of the Greyhawk setting:
- Codex of Greyhawk (via the Internet Archive)
- Philip Falconer's World of Greyhawk Bibliography (an
in-print and upcoming listing of books published by Gary Gygax, Rob Kuntz, Frank Mentzer, and others appears on the PPP Boards)
- Geffyl's Gygax's Legendarium blog (a repository of early articles about Chainmail, the history of the Greyhawk campaign, and various hard-to-find letters by Gary Gygax and Rob Kuntz)
- Greyhawk Fiction by Various Authors - Greyhawk fiction and software hosted
by Tracy Johnson (nearly all now also available via the Internet Archive)
- The Great Library of Greyhawk wiki, now hosted on GreyhawkOnline, updated, improved and beginning to integrate Jason Zavoda's index entries into it's wiki pages too!

Grognard
- Mike "Mortellan" Bridge's Greyhawkery blog, full of great Greyhawk articles, World of Greyhawk comics archive (a hilarious
parody of all things Greyhawk), and more!
-
Mike recently (as of October 2018) teamed up with Anna Meyer to launch "Legends & Lore"---a new show on the Greyhawk Channel (run by DM Shane). As its title suggests, the L&L show focuses on Greyhawk's legends, background, and in-game setting history, cartography, and other fun topics that can inspire your Greyhawk games, or help you dig deeper into Greyhawk's rich tapestry of content sources. I don't watch shows live, but do catch them when they're posted to the Legends & Lore Playlist on YouTube (also a part of the Greyhawk Channel on YouTube).
- Scott "Scottenkainen" Casper and Mike "Mortellan" Bridges are publishing a wonderful Castle Greyhawk web comic, inspired by Scott's Castle Greyhawk fictions from BITD on Greytalk (but better, since they're expanding the storyline from the originals, and Mike's art is a great addition to the stories!)
- Greytalk Archives, as slowly being recreated by Scott "Scottenkainen" Casper
- Dragonsfoot's "Footprints" magazine features quite a bit of Greyhawk content, including many articles from Lenard Lakofka
- Living Greyhawk Journal - an independent RPGA publication for five
stand-alone issue, LGJ then became a section within Dragon
Magazine (from December 2001 with Dragon issue 290 through April 2003 with Dragon
issue 306), and was then published as a part of Dungeon/Polyhedron
(beginning in May 2003 with Dungeon issue 98 through Dungeon issue #)
- The Oerth Journal - a free, online fanzine produced by the fans, and for the fans. The GHO site has a nice database that will keyword filter articles by title/author!
- Gary Gygax, creator of the World of Greyhawk, has dedicated forums or threads at
- Gary
Gyagx's World of Greyhawk (run on Dragonsfoot)

Greyhawk Folio remain the defacto standard for all Greyhawk
maps. Buy a copy on eBay and laminate them. You'll never regret
it.
Fan Maps
Web sites with Greyhawk cartography seems to come
and go with much more frequency than it's possible to keep up with. At
any given time, the following links are the most likely to be out of
date on this page.
- Troika's Temple of Elemental
Evil - a faithful 3.5 edition version of Gygax and Mentzer's 1985 classic
dungeon!
- Neverwinter Nights Greyhawk Adventures - the hub for Greyhawk NWN development
- Thief - while
technically not a Greyhawk game, the atmosphere, backstabbing, and intricate
plot-weavings of Looking Glass Studios' and Ion Storm's wonderful PC
games are, for me, quintessential Greyhawk City
fodder (sans the Murlynd-inspired artifacts of the Mechanists, of course...)
- Eidos' Thief:
The Dark Project, Thief
Gold,
and Thief
II: The Metal Age established the line...
- ...and Thief: Deadly Shadows (aka, Thief 3), continued it
- Primary Discussion Forum
- Official sites
Publishers, you say? Is Greyhawk actually supported?? Well, yes! Check out the following publishers for official and unoffiical Greyhawk products (publishers without hyperlinked names are not actively publishing Greyhawk-related
content any longer, although their products listed blow are still in print):
Greyhawk has a robust presence in social media circles, which I'll slowly expand here over time.
Unless otherwise noted, the links listed are to Wikipedia
(and, as such, take them with a grain of salet unless otherwise indicated).
- Greyhawk Files
- Greyhawk Modules - Q1 and U1-3 link to non-WotC sites; often WotC's web site publishes generic
D&D adventures that have a little Greyhawk content; most of TSR's classic
AD&D adventures are being scanned as .pdf documents and sold on WotC's web site; you
can see which products, with their street dates, on Bastion Press' web site
- Living Greyhawk (the
official RPGA site; from here you can link to most of the regional Triad web sites)
