4.0 out of 5 stars An excellent sourcebook, October 18, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Greyhawk Adventures (Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Rulebook) (Hardcover)

Though it's a 1st edition book, there are many things in this book that can easily be adapted to any AD&D game. This book has a number of new monsters, spells that can't be found anywhere else, Deities of Greyhawk, magic items, and in-depth descriptions of several interesting characters (who, unfortunately need to be adapted) who can be used for great stories and adventures. Also included are a number of locals that can provide interesting and dangerous adventures for your PCs. All in all a great book from a great campaign world.

Ah, yes... seconded closely by Oriental Adventures, this is the FINEST supplemental hardcover ever produced by TSR! This one includes excellent, EXCLUSIVE information on the most intriguing aspects of Greyhawk. Best of all, this one includes only the secrets the players themselves requested! Tantalizing topics include: the 12 clerical orders of the most popular deities, all with unique powers and spells, including the Priests of Iuz; 13 great monsters unique to the Flanaess (including the Greyhawk Dragon, and the ever-notorious Swordwraith); the Free City of Greyhawk, the Valley of the Mage (with stats and history on the Magus himself!), the Scarlet Brotherhood, over 100 Archmage spells (Bigby, Rary, Otto, Nystul, etc.), 95 magic items unique to Greyhawk (Red Dragon Armor of the Hellfurnaces, Cheetah Cloak of Amedio, Black Arrow of Iuz, etc.), 15 pages on the most intriguing geographic locations of Oerth, including the secrets of the Sea of Dust (at last!), lots of mini-adventures in Greyhawk, plus: beginning a "veterans-challenge" campaign with zero-level characters! Your jaw will drop when you realize just how much is here. Highest recommendation.
