Anonymous I've read figures to the effect that about a third of what we pay for any given product is actually paying for the extra plastics and whatnot with which we package them. I'm sure shrinkwrapping alone would have minimal impact on the price, but I just don't see that it's necessary. Maybe it was when RPGs were prone to come with punch-out counters and stand-up figure flats, but for a small pile of booklets I just can't see the need of it. In fact, I kind of appreciate the fact that TL boxed sets aren't shrinkwrapped, as it has allowed me to peruse the contents in order to make an informed buying decision.

Sadly, my informed decisions have generally been either 'Not on my current budget' or 'Not until a revised version is produced,' but I'd rather decide that before a purchase rather than wish I'd decided afterward. Since then, no such module has ever appeared, although numerous products supposedly connected to Castle Greyhawk have been published. Gygax was involved in the writing of none of them and the relationship of even the best of them to the megadungeon of the original Lake Geneva campaign is tenuous at best. Gygax did write Beyond the Magic Mirror, Dungeonland, and Isle of the Ape, all of which were, by all accounts, directly taken from the original LG campaign.

Plus there are The Living Room and Bottle City by Rob Kuntz which, while not authored by Gygax, are reliably placed in the original campaign as well.

But upon further reflection, Yggsburgh is following up on the atmosphere that had always been hinted at with Greyhawk, but never fully developed. With all its heraldry, guilds, colleges and so on, I think Greyhawk has always been established as being at least post-1200 AD in flavor. Ernest Gary Gygax (/. Finally in 2005, Castle Zagyg Part I: Yggsburgh, the first book in the six-book series, appeared.: 381 Later that year, Troll Lord Games also published Castle Zagyg: Dark Chateau (2005), the adventure module written for the Yggsburgh setting by Rob Kuntz.

Thenorthman, Welcome to the Crusade. The Trolls produced a few products for Castle Zagyg.

Gary Gygax's Castle Zagyg: Yggsburgh 2. Gary Gygax's Castle Zagyg: Upper Works The first is a hardback book that detailed a free city similar to the Free City of Greyhawk and all the surroundings, plot hooks, and adventures.

The second was a box set, which had multiple modules within. This was the actual Castle Zagyg and the upper areas and 1st level cellars. Other things done for CZ was a module called the Dark Chateau which was kind of the summer residence, or the home before and during the building of Castle Zagyg. In addition, there were a series of modules released that described the various areas of Yggsburgh in detail, with NPCs, plot hooks, adventure areas for specific sections of the city. Yamaha mo6 price. I don't know off hand the names of each of them.

That's all they made as far as I know. And once Gary passed, his spouse made the decision to move the license from the Trolls, so it's all out of print and not sold in PDF either.

If your looking for something similar, consider this. Joesph Bloch of the Greyhawk Grognard blog went ahead and made sort of tribute/fan dungeon crawl based off the ideas that were out there on the plan of Greyhawk/Zagyg called The Castle of the Mad Arch Mage. Initially a free offering, he's now expanded it to full fledged dungeon crawl (not that the free one wasn't, he took it up to 11 with a map book, illustration book, and included additional levels). And re-imagined the Upper Works. It's made for his Adventures Dark & Deep (AD&D) by his company BRW Games, which is compatible with any OSR rules including C&C.

It's offered in PDF and print on demand softcover or hardcover. (Sale going on now thru the 22nd of June for 30% off). Anyone else have any thing to add?
