Favorite game world
GREYHAWK!
That is a picture
that hangs on the wall in the home office. I used to have little sticky flags
that I had placed on all the major published modules were located. The only one
I still have marked is The Keep on the Borderlands. (Lower Left, little blue flag)
This is the world I
grew up in. Our group played all the major modules, and because “Strict time
records must be kept” we played the overland travel to get from place to place
as well.
Longest journey we’ve
ever undertaken was from The Free City of Greyhawk to The Forgotten City in the
Sea of Dust. By the time we had finished, we were all in the upper teens in
levels. Took us over a 15 years in game time.
One of my personal
joys, is being able to create material for Greyhawk. I may have never had
anything professionally published, but I have reams of notes of the history of
Greyhawk. Just so I could string together modules and self-created adventures.
I don’t know about
anyone else, but reading the plethora of material published for Greyhawk,
taught me a huge amount. It gave me the confidence to start creating my own game
worlds. I have, to date, created 5 game worlds. 3 from scratch, 2 others from
maps used for inspiration (Thank you Christopher West!) I keep threatening to
put one up on the blog….
I could gush about
my favorite game world, I could go on and tell you about everything I’ve read or
written about it. But, you don’t want to hear that.
The highlight of this
entire post, is to say…
My first is still my favorite.
Happy gaming!
