I was comparing the tournament versions of Tomb of Horrors, Tsojconth, and Barrier Peaks, comparing all the named locales. Most of them share at least two locales between each -- Duchy of Geoff named in all three, which must have significance. Anyway, in comparing the possible locations of the Tomb of Horrors to the recent Dave Megarry Great Kingdom map I noted how "remote" each was. So I got out a drafting compass and put the point in the middle of Wallworth and extended the pencil to the Duchy of Geoff (eastern end of the duchy being one of the locations) and started drawing an arc. And wouldn't you know it, this arc intersected many of the stated locations. In fact it almost perfectly crossed the "blue "blobby" mark northwest of the "of" of the Egg of Coot. Could this be the, "highest hill in the Egg of Coot"?? In taking this logic further, the mysteriously vague placement of the Wild Coast would be off-map below Keoland. I'm more inclined to think that the wild coast is that southern coastline south of the "Contested Area" text, and that desert west of it falls east of Keoland. If we compare this to the yellow "outdoor" map in Rob's ERK DVD then the area crystallizes a bit -- the same bend in the coastline in each map. <br /><br />Anyway food for thought. <br /><br />Hope all is well!<br />Rich...Rich B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11094916779905762060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538114983069980768.post-22290013059571277582018-04-18T09:30:33.134-05:002018-04-18T09:30:33.134-05:00Hi Rich---

I've actually been trying to trim back my online activities, to focus more on writing and design work, but Greyhawk keep pulling me back in ;)<br /><br />Black Blade will definitely be attending NTX for the entire show, so do please drop by the booth to say hello! Games registration began Friday night/Saturday morning, in case you're interested in registering for something.<br /><br />Allan.grodoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11800184312511280050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538114983069980768.post-65471307054308428772018-04-18T03:48:47.013-05:002018-04-18T03:48:47.013-05:00Hi Allan,

I was really trying & hoping to make it but real-life priorities got the better of me. AGAIN!<br /><br />You're probably wondering, but I have been a long-time lurker and I've been a transient frequenter of many blogs and forums and everywhere I visit I see the name Grodog! Not just casual posts, but in profusion!! I'm awed and impressed at how you manage the time, so from the silent majority of Gygaxian Greyhawk fans I thank & salute you. <br /><br />Now I will pull the stone sarcophagi lid closed and return to acolyte lurker status. <br /><br />Actually, I'm seriously planning on making the trip to NTRPG Con! At the least my schedule may allow for a Thursday visit. <br /><br />Hope you will be there. <br /><br />Rich...Rich B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11094916779905762060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538114983069980768.post-17136515474817296092018-03-05T22:00:01.744-06:002018-03-05T22:00:01.744-06:00Indeed!
