Second - on http://www.living-greyhawk.com

there's reference to an adventure that doesn't use up time units? So . . . you could just waltz in, play the scenario, then pop out with gold pieces and experience on the other side?

Hm.

Anyhoo, am looking into online Greyhawk - want some practical experience in how forms and things are run before starting my own LG game up. Ppl have been really helpful, thanks!

Actually, you probably want LGCS 4.2, which was just released a week or two ago. LGCS 4.1 came out in January, but included a bunch of the rules on the old 3.0 Builder Books (Sword & Fist, Tome & Blood, etc.), which are phasing out of LG as of 3/1. LGCS 4.2 is the rulebook effective 3/1, as I understand it.

If you already have an LG character, you need to convert it to be totally 3.5 compliant for that 3/1 date. There's also a conversion guide document out there for this; the conversion may also represent a good opportunity to re-do other aspects of your PC.

(Living-greyhawk.com is woefully out of date, and is about to be folded back into the RPGA site, btw. I know that a lot of the regional web sites have the new LGCS, and the conversion document, available for download; Verbobonc has it at www.verbobonc.net; go to the Downloads section.)
