Audio/Video Of Yours Truly (Broken Links Fixed)

 Some one posted on Dragonsfoot that the video that I did for 2021 GaryCon was down but I  fixed:

Here is the link to the link of more chatter with Settembrini and crew:

I also have the Gary 2008 tribute game on Rumble (YouTube does not allow the background music but Rumble allows if I call it "parody". Which it is... uh... ;) ):

CASTLE GREYHAWK MISCELLANEA

Castle Greyhawk to me is an enigma. For years reading Dragon Magazine there were these endless hints that it was coming soon and it was being worked on by him and Rob Kuntz. It was supposed to be the pinnacle of D&D gaming. The ultimate Dungeon & Dragons thing. That ended when Gary Gygax the legendary creative genius behind the D&D game was removed from working on the game ever again in 1985.

Years later in the year 2000, sadly I had asked Gary Gygax direct information on Castle Greyhawk and the answer was flat out: NO WAY

Gary said to me that it was something that he was going to publish so he couldn't share it with me yet to put on my "True Greyhawk" website then known as "GENENKAINEN'S FAN-BASTICH ADVENTURE" which was "anti-Greyhawk establishment" and pro-Gary. 

You can't talk about fans of Castle Greyhawk without sludging through the terrible history of Castle Greyhawk. This is the truth but only from my own perspective as a player of TSR products not necessarily the views of any of the people involved. 

I AM A FAN ONLY. An E. Gary Gygax fan. Ultimate fan? I don't think so but I'll try...

There were already published versions of Castle Greyhawk that were made without Gary Gygax's consent. One was called WG7 CASTLE GREYHAWK (1987) which I viewed as an all out attack on D&D fans by the Buck Rogers' people that technically "owned" TSR but had no clue as to what they stole. The presentation was crude as if former employee Gary and his Greyhawk crap was a joke. The backlash of WG7 ripped through gaming universe as a total cancellation of Greyhawk fans, at least to those who were paying attention like myself, so the new "Buck Rogers TSR" corporation scrambled to make an apology version which they published in 1990 as WGR1 GREYHAWK RUINS. It was too little too late and the feeling hung low. Greyhawk fandom continued like an abused person in a loveless marriage for years after this. Most stuff was histories and light gazetteers as people tried to hold on to what once was.

Way later, the new owners Hasbro toys tried to republish the 1990 WGR1 as updated to their new system (3.5 edition) when Gary independently tried to publish a version of Castle Greyhawk called CASTLE ZAGYG. With Gary falling ill the production slowed then its release was limited then cancelled by his estate after his passing. There was THE EASTMARK GAZETTEER (2007) and THE UPPER WORKS (2008) amongst publications which are hard to find because of the debacle. It is a really sore subject to many of the people that worked on it (Recently, I saw how hurtful this was to them.) and they and the publishers, Troll Lord Games, Gary liked working with TLG a lot, should get appreciated for that.

Alright that wasn't so bad... Internet reaction: ((((KABOOOOOMMM!!!!)))) Ouch! ;)

Seriously, the void of Castle Greyhawk has made me ponder from time to time in creative images and notes, as a fan of Castle Greyhawk, imagined what Castle Greyhawk might be like but in a very light way so that some lawyer doesn't break my spine... ;)

Someone said they had a photo of Gary playing the first level of Castle Greyhawk so I looked at it intensely then I made this map and later numbered it.



I then speculated about the history based on crap that I heard from Gary (Gygax) and Rob (Kuntz) so I tried to assemble what they were talking about by stacking the levels simply to imagine how big this dungeon was:



Then it was too simple because there were extra legendary levels. So I made an infographic as to what the levels were to the first 1974 levels:



Then I had wondered how this compared to the 2007 CASTLE ZAGYG layout they openly spoke of:



Then the last thing that I was looking at was using known sizes and basing it on the information from the Greyhawk Adventures/ Gord the Rogue 1987 story "HEART OF DARKNESS", in the anthology of short Gord Stories NIGHT ARRANT, when Gord went to Castle Greyhawk and paced his way in mentioning the sizes. So I made a 3D view of perhaps the first few dungeon are within the shell of the castle with the 13 levels from the 1974 version:



To further since I was never going to get a key of anything I had made a speculative view of what the random encounters would look like in Castle Greyhawk based on the original D&D random encounter charts. With the monsters that weren't included in the charts (Level dependent?) at the end:

DO-IT-YOURSELF INTERPRETATION OF TOEE RUNES & GLYPHS

In 1985, the adventure module T1-4 THE TEMPLE OF ELEMENTAL EVIL came out and the company that produced it (TSR) was coming apart at the seams. In the wake of its release, the publisher was busy being devoured by lawyers, detectives and traitorous investors. So the production was really mixed (Gygax was not really to blame and co-designer Frank Mentzer was not really to blame either.)

So that said, there is a section that has brought some consternation as to what exactly was being said. Its the doors to the main adventure area the Temple of Elemental Evil's entrance. There were some weird magic runes depicted and they sort of match some runes and glyphs that were included in the 1980 and 1983 World of Greyhawk material by Gary Gygax. I have included both versions side by side 1980 on right and 1983 on left .I also previously included all comparisons some time ago on this blog here

On pages 39-40 it reads next to an image (included below in interpreting chart)

SEALED DOORS
Four pairs of huge bronze doors are
located within the Temple areas. The first
pair is the Grand Entrance (Upper Works
area 1), and will be encountered early in the
adventure. Other doors are within the
dungeon at areas 145, 210, and 352.
Each pair of doors is held fast by huge
iron chains, and all cracks are sealed with
soft iron. Graven upon each portal are magical
runes which glow in a silvery radiance.
These portals are the binding forces
which even now confine the demoness Zuggtmoy
to the dungeon (Level Three). If one
or more pairs of doors are sundered, Zuggtmoy
gains some freedom and additional
powers; see area 353 for detailed notes, as
well as the monster description in Appendix
B. Show diagram 10 to the players whenever
a character approaches within 10 feet
of any pair of these doors. The intruder
must make a saving throw vs. spells, applying
a -2 penalty to the roll, to resist the powerful
permanent antipathy magic
represented by the silvery runes. Failure to
save means that the character cannot
approach within 10 feet of those doors, and
is likewise forever blocked from the other
portals of like dweomer found in the
dungeon. The victim cannot even bear to
look upon the silvery runes.
If the saving throw succeeds, another
must still be made whenever the character

 again comes within 10 feet of the same portals,
or of like portals elsewhere. Any failure
to save produces the effect noted above.
If the doors are successfully approached,
the intruder may try to break them down.
However, this is an impossible task to normal
strength and most magic. Strength of 20 or
more might succeed; check the standard
chance to open a wizard locked door for a
character or creature of appropriate strength
(c. f. girdle of giant strength, DMG page 145):
