tell that to the lay folk who don't follow Greg Marks or BMG.

#

a casual DM and players at home games that only follow what is on paper, are gonna be confused when they show up for a real convention

vale flicker
#

I'll be printing out and highlighting the Greg Marks blog page for irl games, for sure

normal phoenix
#

Its a safe bet that the folks that update the Players Guide FAQ are providing those Qs to the Players Guide peeps too

#

I imagine some amount of balancing act between wanting all the answers spelled out and wanting a managable size Players Guide

solid tapir
#

It is implicit, based on the language elsewhere in the document that specifically calls the Marks of Prestige ‘rewards’; it is in the section about declining advancement. MoPs are rewards and not random, ergo included under the general rule that DMs can get them. That said, I agree that it would be clearer if they just added ‘including Marks of Prestige’ to the guide.

thorn yacht
#

Yes, DMs can get them

rancid sage
harsh wraith
#

Hopefully, there won’t be more people interpreting the Guide to mean they don’t get the Prestige just from mistakenly reading it. Not everyone goes on Discord. 🙃

normal phoenix
#

DMs.... always MoPping up

normal phoenix
#

even if they do it wrong, their players will still get it

#

and they will (naturally) own the content so its as simple as going back and adding the mop they mistakenly omitted

rancid sage
#

So true.

#

Which is a good thing.

#

Persoanlly, I just love seeing the content out there for a wider audience

harsh wraith
#

it would help that the app allow the adventures to be shown.

#

but otherwise it works while using a web browser.

rancid sage
#

That always takes time

#

Most modules, after the release, require the app to receive an update

Click the navigation in the top right corner and navigate away from cover and it works fine

Hello, Im relatively new and want to be able to plan online. Where can I join for the Legends of Greyhawk?

normal phoenix
#

You’re in the right place

#

Welcome

dreamy dagger
#

Im aware that i may not have all the right channels added.

normal phoenix
#

LoG is still primarily convention focused so online wise there are a few places running online conventions.

With the content now starting to be released on DDB it’s popping up in the usual online places as well.

What are you looking for, happy to help

dreamy dagger
#

I just recently made a dndbeyond account and have been messing around with a few characters. I saw they had a community tab for online games. Thats when i noticed log?

#

My brother is starting back up as a DM and im looking to dive head in to get caught up.

#

Going from a proffessional crayon eater to being able to nerd out judgment free is quite the challenge for me.

normal phoenix
#

Jump in and play some games! Best way to get a feel for it IMO

There is a online con this weekend!

dreamy dagger
#

Im gonna need a break down. How do I join?

ancient cosmos
#

For LoG, you need to make a character following the LoG Guide. Then just sign up for LoG games and play them. Keep your log (as noted in the LoG Guide) and level up your character as you play following the LoG Guide rules.
There is no registering a character or anything like that. All required record keeping is on your side (BMG does have an option for their stuff online, but it does not replace your need for a log).

#

Just ask here. I'm in and out of meetings so if I can't answer, someone else will.

dreamy dagger
#

thank yall i appreciate it

azure violet
#

(and eventually find a link to their discord, with more specifics regarding tickting and such)

dreamy dagger
#

so i went to DDB and made a character in their creation section. When i went to find a game it just gave me discord. Thats where its information overload for me.

azure violet
#

Yup, you need to find a game by yourself, DnD beyond wont help you with htat- they only point you in the general direction

#

(that is this DnD discord- maintained by those that makes DnD)

#

From here you can find people (like, Jack, JT or me) that can point you to conventions were games are planned to be played later this year

dreamy dagger
#

Awesome, thank you so much guys.

ancient cosmos
#

Yeah, I see that now. It just sort of dumps you in this discord.

Other than the conventions listed on the website, there are online games running. The link posted earlier by Glom is for a convention running online games this weekend. They are starting to run online about 1 weekend a month.

Baldman Games runs VDDW once a month as well. Next one is May 15-17 - not open for badges/tickets yet.

rancid sage
#

And if you get stuck and lost on any of the online cons for LoG, you can always ask around here, or the con specific discord. Most people are pretty friendly and will get you pointed in the right direction.

#

Just make sure the character you create complies with the rules in the Legends of Greyhawk Players Guide. Not everything D&D Beyond will allow you to do is permitted.

Hey there Legends and LoGers!

There are a few tickets left for our Online Legends of Greyhawk Convention running this weekend!

You dive in to one of two wonderful Ursnt storylines

  • Southern Discomfort {Delija's Vault, Behind Enemy Lines, United Front} ((Playable in any order)) [Military, Defense]
  • Murder in the Fields {Billet's Last Sermon, Murder at the Manor, Stonebrook Mystery} ((Playable in any order)) [Investigation, Mystery]

Whether you are brand new to LoG or a grizzled adventuring veteran these storylines offer exciting opportunities to explore the Duchy of Urnst and either defend it from a massing army of ogres or investigate mysterious murders.

Here is the Link to the Tabletop.Events Page If you want to attend this Legends of Greyhawk event!

#

After checking the website, this is actually still unclear to me: Can anyone run LoG games now? Can I run LoG at my library, if I decided to? And are the adventures published on dmsguild like AL, or somewhere else?

errant iron
#

the ones published on dndBeyond can be run by anyone anywhere now yes

viral hedge
#

ah, dndbeyond. ok.

#

thank you'

errant iron
#

no problem :) it's less convenient for printing out to run irl since it doesn't have a pdf option, but it is handy to run it in maps since I think those are already set up

viral hedge
#

I am sticking to AL for my part, just got a question about getting the adventures in Warhorn for scheduling.

azure violet
#

Although it has a link to this Discord, that is something.

rancid sage
#

Also, no, we do not expect the LoG content to be on dmsguild or elsewhere at the moment.

So... going back into dndbeyond to read through the recently released "Legends of Greyhawk: Elemental Evil Rising", which I purchased when it came first came out (btw, the path on dndbeyond is misspelled "B -> Sources -> Dungeons & Dragons -> LEGENDS OF GREYHWAK: ELEMENTAL EVIL RISING") and now I'm seeing the same adventure listed separately as "Legends of Greyhawk" (both show as Play Bundles). When I go into this second one, also titled "Elemental Evil Rising", it sends me to the purchase page. Why am I paying for the same adventure twice?

normal phoenix
slender jewel
#

Yep, all synced.

ancient cosmos
#

Similar. I can see 2 versions. One I can open. The other it wants me to purchase.

spiral nexus
#

I had that issue for a while but then it later went away

#

I'm hoping that the "Legends of Greyhawk Play Bundles" item may eventually contain the "Elemental Evil Rising Play Bundle" and whatever comes next.

okay, understood

Is there any established lore about the seven elder bardic colleges in Greyhawk? I know in the Forgotten Realms they kind of borrowed the same concept of Falataer and the concept of the seven elder bardic colleges, but in the Forgotten Realms I think most of them were destroyed or lost. I can't find much about them in Greyhawk Lore, other than that Fochlucan College may still exist in the Gnarley Woods south of Dyvers. Is there much other so-called "canon" about the other elder colleges in Greyhawk and whether we think they would exist in 577 CY ?

Actually, what's even weirder is they are the same links but if I don't traverse to them via library I get kicked to the store every time

#

I have to go through library to somehow prevent that

I'm back and can help @thorn yacht keep an eye on this channel.

I hope y'all had some great adventures while I was gone!

Welcome back.
Been having lots of fun. LoG is now publicly available, so even more adventures being run which is great.

thorn yacht
#

Just a heads up for all those who have been asking about the DDB Drops and if they are, or plan to be adopted for LoG. The current answer is no, they are and will not be used for LoG. Rules items that appear in books, or if something ends up being Greyhawk specific, it will be revisited at that time.

rancid sage
#

Thank you, Greg!

Also - just as a general - how I think it will go down - do not expect frequent and quick updates on campaign documents - everything that comes out or is announced doesn't need a quick knee-jerk reaction (do kids still say that?)

Statements of understanding - sure - those are easy - officially updating the documents? I see that more being a quarterly or seasonal tempo - give things time to simmer and settle first

rancid sage
#

Knowing the tempo will greatly help us set expectations for anyone who asks. Thanks!

Just ran the first of three games of Elemental Evil Rising ||on SPG||
😎

rancid sage

Hope your players loved the Teaflingers!

south pendant

They did. I had a lot of fun with all of it as well. One of the players went to talk to Edyth, and she just exposition dumped all over... just love this game.

They are in the event schedule for GenCon. You can find it on GenCon’s website.

what is usual xp for tier one?

ancient cosmos
#

XP isn't used in LoG.

tough dawn
#

i was looking to see how many modules it would take to advance to level 5 (tier 2)

ancient cosmos
#

10 adventures. That is in the LoG-Guide. It is one adventure per level you already are to level up, max of 4 per level.
XP is not relevant to leveling.

tough dawn
#

okay, thanks again

Is there rule for Wizard characters to copy spells from another Wizard's spell book?

pine spruce
#

I think it comes down to DM discretion about whether you have time during the adventure to do it, since there’s no DT.

rancid sage
#

I've been able to copy spells from other wizards in various games without issue. DM approval is really all that is required, outside of the gold costs

normal phoenix
#

I will also say as somebody that DM’d some of the newer stuff, LoG appears to be making a solid improvement in placing spell books in the adventures specifically noting wizards can scribe X spells from Y source.

I know the Legends of Greyhawk Specials aren't currently in the pipeline to be publicly released, but I would love if that could happen in the future! It's a shame to have so much lore and story inaccessible to the home and game store audience. Epics eventually became available to everyone in AL, and I would love that to continue with LoG. If for some reason they just can't be, an in-depth story catch up to help with lore and what not on the website would be extremely cool.

ancient cosmos
#

While it might be nice, the Specials generally are not key parts of the story.

Also, not all Epics are available to everyone. Some must still be requested.

somber reef
#

Only the old Epics, before they realized it's a nice thing to make available to everyone.

Question about the new release "Tales From Turtleback Cove". It says it for Tier 1 (level 1-4) - same as Elemental Evil Rising. Can I adjust it for Tier 2, ( I mean sure, I CAN), but is that allowed in the Organized Play? I'd like to continue my current campaign with it, but don't want to keep the players stuck at Tier 1...

spiral nexus
#

No

pine spruce
#

The LoG rules do allow you to decline the level progression of an adventure, although if you decline the progression, you also have to decline the rewards (you can still receive the MoP though)
 or they could always use different characters, and you could add those other characters as flavour NPCs to your main campaign

normal phoenix
# south pendant Question about the new release "Tales From Turtleback Cove". It says it for Tier...

If you’re just playing for fun and using the log adventures to build a home campaign, you can do whatever you want.

If you are trying to stay legends of greyhawk legal, no. You could only play those adventures at tier 1. And your players would need 1 adventure to get to 2nd two (more) adventures to get to 3rd, and three (more adventures to get to 4th

Playing through elemental evil rising and tales from Turtleback cove would get your characters from 1st to 4th

And then they’d need four more to get to fifth

pine spruce
#

Yeah, in the LoG rules it takes 10 total adventures to get from level 1 to level 5

south pendant
#

thank you

normal phoenix
#

Not knowing what’s releasing when, I’d expect it’s going to be awhile before we get tier 2 releases.

The following waves have played in public and came before tier 2

  • domain of greyhawk 1
  • wild coast 1
  • highfolk 1
  • Ferrond 2
  • Urnst 1

If we assume (and it’s a huge assumption because anybody that knows isn’t talking) public release order bears some resemblance to con release order, tier two home play would be toward the end of the year

is there a way to play LoG in an online forum?

normal phoenix

#

If you play on line in keeping with the rules is that still considered official progress? Could you show up at a tier 2 event later in the year with a character and play?

ancient cosmos
#

LoG can be played anywhere as long as you follow the rules. Log your plays and follow the rules for advancement and your character should be fine for future adventures it meets the requirements for.

low bluff
#

Correct. Cons, local game store, your home, friends basement, or online. Follow the rules - have a blast- plat some more.

Hello all, do you think it would make sense to open up some session of LoG in France ? in french or english ?

#

I have been running a few campaigns on that universe since 2024 rules and start to have a small community here

#

I think long time ago part of the lore was for outside of us no ?

small mural
#

As I understand it, there are no rules against running LoG in another language (someone correct me if there is an English only rule?!).

As to which you should, you could always test your local player base by offering one or the other or both for a bit, and see what is embraced.

rancid sage
#

There are no rules I've ever seen that call out LoG needing to be played in english. And now with the content being available for home play, there is nothing stopping anyone from reading it in english and translating it to the players in another language.

End of the day, as long as you and your players follow the LoG Players Guide for characters and leveling (unless you are incorporating the adventures into a home brew game), you should be fine 🙂
