Leumas Hardbuckle, of the Hillside Hardbuckles
“I’ve got a good feeling about this.”– Leumas Hardbuckle The third child, but first son, of Ray and Cat Hardbuckle was born in Elmshire in 552 CY. He’s a little bit taller than most Hardbuckles, owing to the Tallfellow Elisedds on his mother’s side. Leumas spent his youth reading and studying maps, dreaming of going to other places, but was …
The Blood Oath of the Magdar
In an effort to further integrate Kobold Press’ Morgau and Doresh into my Greyhawk game, I’m also going to bring in the Magdar people of Midgard. It’s a no-brainer, really. The Magdar of Midgard are based on the real-world Magyar, or Hungarian, people. Many of my place names for Morgau and Doresh are taken from Hungarian and Romanian sources, and …

Oloma, Queen of Demons

Sabina von Strand, Shroud-eater vampire

His son Arthog von Strand succeeded him and she was born in 490 CY as a princess who would one day inherit her father’s lands, which included the wealthy …
The DZA’s Greyhawk: Morgau and Doresh Map
I’ve been working on this map for the last few weeks, and I’m still not satisfied that there isn’t a better way to save a better resolution map from the original Illustrator file, but here’s my first effort. Thanks to Anna B. Meyer for letting us use her work to create our own Greyhawk campaign maps. If you haven’t read …
The DZA’s Greyhawk: Morgau and Doresh Living Greyhawk Gazetteer Entry
I didn’t really play much Greyhawk until 3rd Edition D&D came around, so my preferred version of Greyhawk is what’s laid out in the Living Greyhawk Gazetteer (LGG). As such, I wanted to give my new realm of Morgau and Doresh its own entry into that book. I’ve tweaked the entry for the Pomarj, so most of what is here was …
The DZA’s Greyhawk: The Pomarj, reimagined
It’s been quite a while since I’ve posted anything, but I’ve actually been working on a couple of projects lately. The first project I worked on after my last post was to design the facade of my necromancer’s tower in my friends homebrew game. It’s set in a Southern European setting, roughly 12th-13th century, and my design was for …
The Hardbuckles of Elmshire
In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort. — J. R. R. Tolkien, “The Hobbit” I …
