Does anybody know if there any good (or if any) Greyhawk based books out there? The most I've seen have had to do with Icewind Dale or the Forgotten Realms, with Drizzt Do'Urden and so forth but are there anyones that have to do with Greyhawk?

Thanks in advance

I don't think I've ever seen Memnoch [img]graemlins/1ponder.gif[/img] But I'll be sure to ask them though. My leg's in bad shape so I won't be doing much this summer except staying on my diet so I figured I might as well read a few books while I'm at it

Oh Memnoch...

Tomb of Horrors the latest Grayhawk Novel

Kaerion Whitehart was once a mighty paladin, but sins of the past have cast him far from the light. Together with an elf mercenary, he now survives by the might of his sword alone.
In exchange for a hefty purse, the two friends agree to accompany a band of patriots into a tomb haunted by fear and legend. They soon find the mission growing beyond their control. As warring factions vie for the ultimate prize of a long-dead wizard, Kaerion finds himself caught between death and redemption.
The Tomb of Horrors is the latest title in the Greyhawk Classics series, a set of novels that revisits the most popular adventures of the original Dungeons & Dragons game.

This is the best Grayhawk series Ever!!!!!!

hmm, tomb of horrors might be worth checking out, a few years ago i played through it as a PC, and I can tell you it's primarily a high level player killing module.

Against the Giants was ok, a nice description of how a level 1-2 character would fit in with a group of experienced adventurers (lvl 8-11) all in character of course. There are also a decent amount of "older" Greyhawk books, written back during the 1st edition D&D era, many by Gygax, reportedly pretty good over all.

Giants, yea, I remember plenty of those modules [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img] My favorite one I played was back about three to four years ago called the Cloud Castle. I still play today and that was by far the best.

By the way, is the Elric series considered Forgotten Realms, Greyhawk, or Melnibone?

As Crimson said, Tomb of Horrors is a GREAT book to read! Lots of suspense and the journey to the Tomb. I'd say more, but CB said pretty much what I would have anyway [img]smile.gif[/img] .

Elric was Melniborne, not associated with D&D (in fact Gary Gygax tried to implement elements from Melniborne and the Cthulhu Mythos's in the dieties and demigods book, but because of legal considerations he was forced to remove it, but a few of the original ones are floating around...
