06-16-04, 03:37 PM I know this has come up before, but I wanted to bring it up again: Who would like to see a compilation of all issues of the Living Greyhawk Journal?

I would!

If enough of us demand it, who knows?... Yes, I know it's been demanded before, and I know what the response has been, but I'm sure there's no harm in demanding it again and again and again....

While it would be cool if the actual pages were reprinted, I'd be very happy with just the text (plus whatever tables, etc., are necessary). A .pdf file would be nice too, it wouldn't have to be published in print form.

Thoughts?

I'm sure someone will be up in arms against it, though. They always are.

02-01-06, 10:08 AM While I think it is only a dream for us, I'll certainly speak up for a compiled Living Greyhawk Journal. Paizo had a few issues #0 to #5 available at its Web site - but I bet most are long gone.

But a trade paperback with LG articles would be awesome. I have all of them as single issues. But dang, it would be great to have one book to flip through if I need to look up the Knights of Holy Shielding article or Denizens of the Bright Lands, etc.

Ah, to dream...

The reason (as has been mentioned in the past when the subject
has come up) is that WOTC/Paizo/Whoever only had initial publication
rights to the material in the LGJ, not reproduction rights. This is
rather the same reason that old & retired LG adventures will never
be released, since after the initial appearance the rights for them
reverts to the authors.

There is also the added wrinkle that, at this point, a lot of the material
is not v3.5 compliant, and might need extensive re-writing/editing
to bring it up to current standards.

So, my advice would be to haunt eBay or other sites and try to
snap up the old LGJ's whenever you can.
