However, there are necessary shortcuts and parcels of information included in a carefully done game, or else the poor GM will be forever immersed in the morass of finding out the precise nature of who his players meet, who opposes them, and the like. It should not be necessary for the GM to roll dice to determine all the attribute scores of every non-player character, for instance. The game must include provisions for defining NPCs so that they can be generated quickly, but without causing every such character to be a mirror image of every other one. Although it is a relatively short and minor part of any game, this area is still interesting, for it will show just how well thought out the design is. Opponents are the creatures and things that will generally be adverse, at best non- hostile, to the PCs.

    Official James M. Ward Sample file A compendium of GREYHAWK® campaign ideas for the AD&D® role playing system. TSR, Inc. P.O. Box 756 TSR CIK Ltd. Lake Geneva, The Mill, Rathmore Road WI 53147 U.S.A. Cambridge CB1 4AD United Kingdom ADVANCED DUNGEONS & DRAGONS, AD&D, GREYHAWK, WORLD OF GREYHAWK, PRODUCTS OF YOUR IMAGINATION, and the TSR logo are trademarks owned by TSR, Inc. Det)icatioN I would like to dedicate this work to those uncounted numbers of people who have liked my material and were kind enough to tell me so. Thank you, very much. JMW Introduction Warning: This book is designed for experienced campaigners! I preface my introduction with the above statement because I want you to realize that this isn't a role-playing aid for newcomers. When the AD&D® game was first published, the GRE YHAWK® campaign system had been up and running for several years. Since then, I hope I have helped, in my own small way, to make that campaign and the AD&D game system grow a little larger and run a little better. Now, others have taken up the gauntlet and quite probably hundreds of thousands of player characters have walked down the dirt roads of the City of Greyhawk and roamed the lands of Oerth. This book was created out of the demand by those GREYHAWK game lovers for more information. The oldest, running fantasy campaign has a very vocal following. Each section of this book came out of a direct request for more information about a particular aspect of Oerth and Greyhawk.
