VECNA: GENESIS OF A LEGEND

 

In this 40-page long publication, grey-sages Samuel Weiss and Gary Holian get into a dialogue and make a careful and thorough evaluation, going beyond superficial judgments to delve deep into the published history of of one of the most known, and probably one of the first, liches in the World of Greyhawk. 

They talk about who Vecna was and how he got to run a vast empire, the cult that grew around him, what are his relics (not only his notorious hand and eye) and provide an exhaustive historical timeline, from more than a millennia ago to the Common Year "present day". Also, they tells us how (not) to use him in a campaign and why.

A must read to all Greyhawk fans out there, both players and DMs alike!

Weather Forecaster for the World of Greyhawk

I don't know if I have shared this before, but it's a great tool that I use in all my games. It produces a weather forecast for a month to a certain area, specified by the caster, and can even forecast upcoming months if so desired. It uses the rules as depicted in the World of Greyhawk Fantasy Game Setting Boxed Set from 1983.

Follow THIS link to read the "Scroll of Weather Forecasting" and unleash some old and powerful Suloise magic. 

Thanks Tomi for putting this up 12 years ago!
