Imagination is key to a great role playing
experience. Which is one of the reasons I enjoy visiting the Canonfire website.
Perusing the various posts and responding to the reflections of other fans
thoughts. I came upon something, I could not ignore... While viewing this
thread. http://www.canonfire.com/cfhtml//modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=5518
I came upon a
link to the following blog http://lakegenevaoriginalrpg.blogspot.com/2013/04/the-first-living-campaign.html
run by Rob Kuntz.
Thanks to Dark Lord Galen for the link.
Rob details his experience and the camaraderie he
enjoyed by sharing a campaign world with like minded individuals. As, I read
over the blogs post, it reminded me of the efforts many of us fans put forth to
spark the flames of imagination that stirred when we gamed in the World of
Greyhawk. We may be trying to recapture a part of our youth, or perhaps get
some recognition from the Greyhawk community. Many have and still do, put forth
the effort, just because we wish to share what gives us joy with anyone who
wishes to peruse it.
We all know of the Oerth Journal and its history of
like minded individuals rekindling the flame of Greyhawk. Under Erik Mona's
direction, Dungeon and Dragon magazine sort to print Greyhawk material for many
fans of the community and to broaden its expansion amongst the next generation
of gamers. Another yet to be published ezine named the Canonfire Chronicles
seeks to attain the same goals that the Oerth Journal put forth. As such the
revamped plan is for the Oerth Journal to continue on in a role much akin to
the way Dragon magazine was utilized for. While Canonfire Chronicles seeks to
become the Dungeon to the Oerth Journal's Dragon. The best part is you don't
need a DDI subscription to gain access to this information. It's all provided
by fans just like you. As a wise man once said, "Anything's possible with
a little grit, determination and the right circumstances. People are known to
make things happen, heh?"

Mort,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your post. I really appreciate the comment, though your mind is always coveted in all things Greyhawk. Especially Ull related. Scott your response is also appreciated.
DLG,
It's good to know you have not added an anti in front of your class. It seems Cape Town has it's share of Greyhawk fans as well.
As far as the Chronicles success. That depends on fans like us! WE can all contribute in different ways. Some write material, some provide art, others utilize the contents and spread the word. All are valid in my honest opinion.
