2. In some modules (namely
The
Village of Hommlet), NPCs living in town are listed with stuff
like "scale mail, shield, spear and long sword".
Would these be items they
normally have on them at any given time, or just a list of what they can
easily get ahold of if they have to?
In other words, to farmers
in Greyhawk
normally wear armor and carry weapons on the job?
I'm looking into starting
up an Advanced D&D campaign sometime
and would like some advice in handling the above from the source 
Only soldiers and the like
wear armor and carry shields around in a community.
The equipment
listed is for when they are arming to protect their home.
Cheers,
Gary

Gary,
Where would some good starting
points for a group of Greyhawk Newbies be?
Also do you have any tips
for running that crucial first adventure to get the feel of teh setting
across?
Sure, if you are playing
OAD&D
rules the Village of Hommlet is the best place to
begin, although B2 is also fine if you do a bit of conversion.
Cheers,
Gary

The one that I was playing

That includes modules that
I did not write.
For me picking favorites is rather like deciding which child is your favorite.
I did enjoy DMing the G series a lot and the T1 and environs modules.
Cheerio,
Gary

When I did the Village of Hommlet I was playing on the World of Greyhawk maps.

Speaking of Hommlet, wasn't
this when Luke first started? What
age was he when he started playing?
Scott
Heh...
Noppers! Luke
began at around age seven as a conscripted DM for his older sisters Heidi
and Cindy.
They told him what opponents
they should face, what treasure they should gain from their defested adversaries...until
he complained to me, and I set matters aright 
He played quite regularly
in my campaign from the time he was
around 10.
Hommlet was the first campaign
in which he actually played in a reasonably mature manner.
The older fellows in the
group used to both razz him a good deal and also assist him in developimg
RPG skill.
Cheerio,
Gary
