Introduction

In 1971, Gary Gygax invited members of his family to play his new game that would become Dungeons & Dragons. The campaign world he created for it would become known as the World of Greyhawk.

In 2005, Mike Bridges started making the W.O.G. comic strip out of his love for both comics and the World of Greyhawk. You can see his work here.

In 2006, Scott Casper started writing a fanfiction novella called "Castle Greyhawk" out of his love for the World of Greyhawk, even though his art skills sucked too bad to make it a comic strip. You can see his work here.

It was only a matter of time before these two lovers of both comics and Greyhawk would join forces. And so the "Castle Greyhawk" comic strip was born. The strip will follow, but also expand on, the novella, which fictionalizes those earliest adventures in the World of Greyhawk. So come with us back in time to when Tenser, Robilar, and all their friends were just fledgling adventurers and the world was young...

  1. Wonder twin powers, ACTIVATE!

    Epic intro, Scott. I hope everyone who follows this comic as it grows and develops, will come to appreciate the Greyhawk setting in a new way.

  2. I'm really looking forward to this... I'm going to collect these strips into an ashcan, copy them and bootleg them at Gencon...

  4. Valkaun Dain is also easily distracted so I wouldn't worry.

  5. Thank you, Anthony. You seem to have impeccable taste (as well as a really cool chainmail hauberk in that photo).
