    Dungeons&Dragons Collectors Checklist by Richard © 2001, version 2.7 Well met and welcome to the Collectors Checklist! I made this checklist for myself to keep track of what TSR products I own. Many times was I in the position to photocopy (“Xerox”) a module or booklet that the owner didn’t wish to sell. So gradually my collection expanded with not only genuine products but also with photocopies. Since the coming of the officially digitized classic products (PDF) it is even harder to keep track of what product you own in what format. With the Collectors Checklist you will be able to sort your whole Dungeons&Dragons collection, no matter what the format is! For those out there who haven’t got a clue, here’s how to use the Collectors Checklist: TSR-Code : The product’s publishing code Sub-Code : When a product belongs to a specific group of products it carries this code Title : The product’s title (dah!) Hardcopy : Check this if you have the original item Copy : Check this if you have a copy (Xeroxcopy for instance) of the original product PDF : Check this if you have a digital copy(.pdf/.doc/etc.) of the original product HINT: you can even write down the number when you own more than one copy of a product ; ) If you think any items are missing, please mail me at [email protected] .

  • The Official History of the Greyhawk Wars
    The Official History of THE GREYHAWK WARS by David "Zeb" Cook edited by J. Robert King prepared for America Online by Roger E. Moore ©1999 Wizards of the Coast, Inc. All rights reserved. Preface The defining event in the recent history of the continent of Oerik was the series of conflicts known collectively as the Greyhawk Wars. This file presents, in its entirety, the actual campaign history of the fighting, taken from the Adventurer's Book in the Greyhawk ADVENTURES WARS boxed board game (1991). This material should be common knowledge to any characters in a Greyhawk campaign who have paid the slightest attention to current events or their history lessons. Any number of adventures may spring from this material—but that is for the Dungeon Master to create. Introduction: The Antagonists Philosophers say that war is always born of lust—lust for power and loot. Perhaps this holds true for the petty forays and border raids that have plagued the Flanaess through history. However, the grand carnage of recent years cannot be explained by mere lust. Rather, the complex alchemy of mortal passions, foibles, and dementia is what hurtled nation against nation in the wars that reworked the Flanaess. To understand the so‐called Greyhawk Wars, therefore, one must understand the cast of characters. The cast ranges widely—from demigods to outcasts and from heroic warriors to red‐hooded spies. Together they comprise a grand dramatis personae, the cast of a great tragedy. Iuz the Old "His Most Profane Eminence, Lord of Pain, Fiend of the North, Child of the Evil One, Master of the Dread and Awful Presences, Iuz the Evil, Iuz the Old"—so was this foul demi‐god hailed by the corrupt and evil things that served him.

Not even sure this is gonna be needed, but I made it anyways. A PAGE BREAK FOLLOWS THIS LINE! 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 The Basics I have no idea what to present here… ill most likely have to write this last as usual. The following sections were preserved from the original manuscript and will have to be expanded etc to fit the final product 1.2 How the Pantheon Chapters are Presented The chapters in this book (as well as Appendix I) are organized into two almost identical formats. The first would be the human pantheons such as Baklunish, Flan or Oeridian; and the other would be the non‐human pantheons such as Demihuman and Humanoid pantheons. The two are almost identical; the only difference is the non‐human pantheons lack the People and Modern Veiwpoints sections. Much is written about elves and other such non‐human creatures elsewhere. I merely added in their major deities and other such heroes to the pantheons listed in this work. Following is a description of the sections that each chapter contains as well as how it is formatted and presented: The People: This section appears only for human pantheons, and describes briefly the people associated with the pantheon and a little about their history and culture.
