The Wold? never heard of it

The Wold

As in Stow-On-The-Wold in the Cotswolds?
or Watham-on-the-Wold (Leics)?
or Middleton-on-the-Wold (East Yorks)?
or Ashby-on-the-Wold (Lincs)?
or Welton-le-Wold (Lincs)?
or one of plenty more places with -on-the-wold in the title.

There are the Yorkshire Wolds, and of course the Cotswolds

Wold is apparantely derived from the Anglo Saxon word weald or wald, meaning forest or wooded country, but to me it suggests a hill as well, as you can be IN a forest or ON a hill.
To a German it means high wooded land.

btw - the cots part of the Cotswolds are the sheep pens/enclosures (cots) they used up on the Wolds.

or even try Woldian Games ?

Enough info?

I suspect that they don't mean the Cotwolds, rather the Yorkshire Wolds or maybe the ones in Lincs/Leics

Cotswolds are mainly in Gloucestershire (north of me) and are not particularily extensive.
As a wild guess I'd say 50 miles long.

We're a bit O/T, aren't we.
Any more and we'd better go PM

Quick - put some JG info in to make it relevant to everyone:
Erm,
Has anyone got a nice long list of all the modules etc that are set in the City State world? Not just the half dozen which include Witch Court Marshes, nor the obvious like Tarantis & CSWE/CSIO.
And did Mayfair or anyone produce further material for this world which wasn't published by JG?

If I missed anything (did not include the campaign setting stuff, runequest/etc modules) then you know what...Bugger off!  :wink:  :)

As to the other question: Zocchi Distributors reprinted a handful of Judges Guild Scenarios. Their Gamescience did a Tegel Manor, Revised and Expanded. Mayfair did the other CSotIO multiple box set thing. QuikLink did a d20 Dark Tower and Necromancer Games has done d20 adaptations of The Caverns of Thracia, City State of the Invincible Overlord, Players guide to the Wilderlands and a Wilderlands of High Fantasy box set (with Tegel Manor maybe also in the future).

The thing about the City State modules is that little attempt was made to enforce unanimity of theme or culture.  Many of them are simply located on the City State world map as if they fell from space...which is possible, now that I think of it.

Geoff Dale wrote:Neither Inferno nor Lindoran were set in the City State World

Aye..made the list quickly just taking anything that was a module and had either D&D, AD&D, or Universal fantasy as the system it was written for.

Also Welcome Mr Dale! Glad to have you here on these boards...
I am eagerly waiting for the expanded version of Inferno. (No rush though  :wink:  :D )

ShaneG.

I'm typing Inferno as fast as I can, which mostly means in hotels on business trips.  But I have gotten past the end of the original module.  I'm still hoping to finish it this year, then it will need 3E conversion.

As for Lindoran, the back-story there changed somewhat from the way I originally ran it in my campaign.  I don't exactly remember the reason(s).  Now that I've got a copy on the way, maybe I'll look into it after Inferno is done.
