At this stage of the saga (I think there are seven books ahead of it) Gord's still human (using that term very loosely), but he's got about a zillion innate powers and godlike abilities.
Gord is now the Champion of Balance (Good and Evil are BOTH undesirable) and is IMPERVIOUS to defeat and demon lords like Graz'zt, Demogorgon, Mandrillagon and Orcus, as well as daemonkings like Anthraxus and Infestix, and the Dukes Infernal (Asmodeus and Co.) quail before his relentless onslaught.
Without pausing to view his work, Gord turned and faced his next foe, now aiming the long blade as if it were a wand.

 Reader’s Den » Dance Of Demons
This novel, a grand fantasy set in the world of Greyhawk (a fantasy world in which you play D & D created by - yup - you guessed it - Gygax), is the final “Gord The Rogue” novel.
In this final chapter, ‘Gord The Rogue’, imbued with god-like abilities, embarks on a quest to unleash the universes most powerful evil in the name of balance.
I found this a novel a treat, most likely because I am familiar with twenty sided dice, armor classes and the abilities of rogues - but this novel goes beyond entertaining those in the know of D & D. It’s a classic fantasy romp, and the stakes are rarely higher than in this offering.

the rest of the series, but as it is noted in Artifact, Gord and Chert have not seen each other in some time before their reunion, so its place as I've noted seems likely.
Hawks take giant leaps through time in order to tell Gord's early life, but consistantly deals with the character's earilest experiences and adventures, and so comes first chronologically, even though I think it reads better when its picked up later in the series.
City of Hawks is written in a style that assumes a prior understanding of Gord's childhood and such (from reading the previous books) and contains a lot of background information that may not make sense or even spoil the surprise of many events the are detailed in Saga of Old City.

He survives, of course, and thrives to become Gord the Rogue, one of Gygax’s most beloved characters.
There is no central conflict, and the story seems to detail more of Gord’s evolution as a player character than a literary character.
For those of you who are familiar with the world of Greyhawk, which Gord roams, and who want to know more, you’re in luck: Saga of Old City is filled with an incredible amount of about the geography and politics of the campaign world.

07-22-2001 04:43 PM My favourite is Gord the Rogue from the old Greyhawk books.
The first ADandD novel I ever read was Saga of Old City which featured Gord the Rogue and his ascent through a thieves' guild and adventures with the barbarian Chert and druid Curly.
The second and later books in the Gord the Rogue series weren't as good, but Gord is still my all-tim all-round favourite character.

I'm trying to develop a character based off the old "Gord the Rogue" novels from Gary Gygax, and I am having a wee bit of trouble creating a specific item.
For those that aren't familair with them, in the books, Gord had a Cat's Eye Ring that allowed him to change shape into a large fl panther.
While I still have the character and will play, it'd be nice if I could make that happen just to make it seem like the books and I can try building a mod using some fo the old storylines from Greyhawk with him in mind.

 Gord's Greyhawk
I have now completed my initial proofreading, formatting, and cross-ref linking, the original format having been uploaded from my ancient Mac SE/30 in June of '98.
I began working on this document while reading the Greyhawk Adventures/Gord the Rogue series of novels back in the mid to late eighties while in high school.
At that time there was very little information availible on the City of Greyhawk - that boxed set had not yet come out and neither had the second edition of AD&D. I noticed that there was a good deal of campaign relevant information availible in the novels and began taking notes.
