Was there a Living Greyhawk Journal Issue 1?
I've seen Issue 0 and Issue 2, but no Issue 1. Anyone got a picture?


This week I've been mostly eating . . . chicken and wild rice soup.

There was a number 1 (I do have it)  There were Numbers 1-5 and 0.  Sorry no pic its packed away while I rebuild my basement.  They were given free to RPGA members while Polyhedron was still around.

If I remember correctly, I think issue 0 was given out at Gencon one year and it was also available with issue #274 of Dragon magazine.

There is usually a complete set of them up on Ebay.  A quick check right now shows a few auctions for issues 1 - 4.  Number 5 is the harder one to find.

Thanks Mark. Could you post a link or two. They don't seem to appear in my search in the UK.

And isn't #2 the one everyone wants because it came with the map of Greyhawk? I am at work and can't look at mine right now.

I'm pretty sure the map was in #2. A word of caution, though, for any potential eBay searchers: check the listings carefully. Listings for #2 often include "map not included" or "map laminated" or "map drawn on," etc., etc.

Yes #2 came with the map.  Issue #2 was released in a baggie that contained the issue and the book.  I don't think the others were in baggies.
