BRW Games Big Announcement

On Gary Gygax day, BRW Games, led by Joseph Bloch (aka Greyhawk Grognard), has teased a major upcoming project in a recent YouTube video, hinting at what could be their most ambitious release yet. While specific details remain unrevealed, the announcement suggests an open license universal game system named ADDventure Engine with the core of AD&D 1e. The system could be applied to any genre (fantasy, post-apocalyptic, weird west, superheroes, science fiction, horror, WWII, space opera, etc.) and will be a toolkit to create games. 

Known for titles like Adventures Dark and Deep and Castle of the Mad Archmage, BRW’s fans are already speculating and expressing excitement. With Bloch’s track record for old-school RPG depth and quality, this announcement has stirred significant anticipation in the tabletop community.

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.

Thanks Tomi for putting this up 12 years ago!

Orn

Orn, is a Nordborn mercenary, ready to unveil the mysteries and plunder the hidden riches of the Gelid Glens of Gar, an open table drop in/drop out West Marches style campaign by GM Jason Hobbs using Old School Essentials rules, set in his Emergent Empires world.

“The Great Wizard, Baggio Gar, and his entourage passed through the arctic cold of the far north. They passed beyond the North march and Nordborn lands. Even beyond those chill waves of Issven. To Port Tuini and the frozen gates of the Ice Plains and on to Fort Deline did they march through snow filled lands.”

UPDATE: Found the Ring of Gar, lost an eye, got a reputation of a drunken lout for too much carousing, raised to level 4 and got killed fighting off fire elementals.
