Greyhawk Ruins is an adventure module for the Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) fantasy role-playing game. It was published in 1990 by TSR, Inc. for the second edition Advanced Dungeons & Dragons rules.

Description and history[]

Greyhawk Ruins takes place in a dungeon in the ruins of Greyhawk Castle; there are over 24 levels to the dungeon, each one deeper and tougher than the one before it.^[1]

WGR1 Greyhawk Ruins was written by Blake Mobley and Timothy B. Brown, with cover art by Fred Fields, and was published by TSR in 1990 as a 128-page book with an outer folder.^[1]

The adventure is set in the World of Greyhawk campaign setting and describes the ruins of and dungeons beneath Castle Greyhawk. The module is a more serious take on the dungeons of Castle Greyhawk than the 1988 module WG7 - Castle Greyhawk. The module features interior art by Thomas Baxa, Mark Nelson and David Simons. The adventure is designed for five to seven characters of levels 2 to 15.

In 2007, Wizards of the Coast released Expedition to the Ruins of Greyhawk, an adventure book for 3.5 edition D&D that updates the material in Greyhawk Ruins.
