Hi There, I am new here, but I have played AD&D and now 3ed for more than 20 years in Sweden. I have gone through the old Dragon articles where EGG outlines the future years in various regions. Suddenly, this series of articles is stopped, even though EGG writes in tha last one that he and Len, I believe, will cover more areas, and names them all. My question is this, have ANY of you, ANY semi-official information from our Heroes at former TSR regarding the areas that were not covered in those Dragon articles (around issues 55-60...). I am looking for info on Furyondy-Veluna, ToEE (as we did sack it and kill Zuggtmoy, and freed the Prince), Celene, Wild coast (as we defeated the Slave Lords as well), Pomarj etc. I am NOT using anything published after EGG exit, so I don't want the "after-the-War" scenarios, I am looking for EGG vision of these countries... CAN YOU HELP ME !!?? The Swede

Hiya Swede, Welcome to the boards. You know all there is to know, as far as the EGG material goes. I asked EGG about the post-ToEE situation, and there wasn't much concrete. Shortly after that was when things started slipping away from him at TSR. In his home game, the Prince was not released, but the party adventuring there never got to finish it. Robilar came along... I don't know what EGG's would have handled it for the published setting though. Gary did have plans for a big war, but it was much different than how the 'official' version transpired after he left. He was never big on the demi-human element, so he never wrote anything for Celene.

If you haven't already then read the Gord novels for tidbits of that area. You might want to focus on the second in the series ARTIFACT OF EVIL because it crosses all over and around the Furyondy/Hommlet/Celene/Horned Society area and lends insight to the feel of it when the characters travel. And thats about the last and only word on Greyhawk. The guys who did it after Gary are strange to say the least...

Thanks both, Yeah have just read the 2 first Gord novels, for the fourth time or something Redraw map road-routes accodingly And yes, I have read many posts here and there about Robilars sacking of the place! To bad EGG never got around writing more about the official future.....I met him 6 years agi in Germany, and me and my friends go to spend the evening with him, which got us a lot of info Is anyone here running a EGG/pre-Wars campaign? How does your Iuz/Furyondy/Veluna and Celene/Ulek/Wild Coast/Pomarj look like?

My GH eventually turned into something completely of my own device so I dumped it by starting all the characters over somewhere else ala Gord but with several key locations transported along into a sort of "MARVEL SUPERHEROES SECRET WARS kind of patchwork world" then I abandoned it after a few years.
I went back to Greyhawk for "Gygax's glorious return in 3e" and it just got worse and worse as the players were insisting on official material and it was getting childish in many different ways. I believe I have a few maps but they're a real sloppy job.
