Maps
Professional Maps
- Darlene Pekul's maps from the 1980 Greyhawk Folio remain the defacto standard for all Greyhawk maps. Buy a copy on eBay and laminate them. You'll never regret it.
- Paizo Publishing printed a four-part poster map of Greyhawk in Duneon Magazine issues 118 through 122; it's well-wroth buying the back issues for the maps and then laminating them (unlike the Darlene maps, the Paizo maps need to be laminated since they're on very low-weight paper stock).
Fan Maps
Web sites with Greyhawk cartography seems to come and go with much more frequency than it's possible to keep up with. At any given time, the following links are the most likely to be out of date on this page.- Anna Bernemalm's Greyhawk Maps site - BEAUTIFUL work!
- Daniel Rivera's T1-4 maps are fabulous: Hommlet, Nulb, The Welcom Wench, the Moathouse, etc, etc.---well-worth checking out!
- Halfling's CC2 page (various maps; I especially like those from GDQ)
- Kent Matthewson's composite map is indispensable to using Ivid the Undying

PC and Online Gaming
- Troika's Temple of Elemental Evil - a faithful 3.5 edition version of Gygax and Mentzer's 1985 classic dungeon!
- Neverwinter Nights Greyhawk Adventures - the hub for Greyhawk NWN development
- includes "Who Wants to be a Greyhawk Guru" trivia game, with some tricky questions
- Useful NWN DM advice can be found the article "DM Profiles: Sweeney Todd and Duncan"
- Thief - while technically not a Greyhawk game, the atmosphere, backstabbing, and intricate plot-weavings of Looking Glass Studios' and Ion Storm's wonderful PC games are, for me, quintessential Greyhawk City fodder (sans the Murlynd-inspired artifacts of the Mechanists, of course...)
- Eidos' Thief: The Dark Project, Thief Gold, and Thief II: The Metal Age established the line...
- ...and Thief: Deadly Shadows (aka, Thief 3), continued it
