Sounds like Riggs is testing out material for his next RPG history book...

Well this is a turn, I actually prefer the regular covers over the special ones for once. shrug At any rate, never played OG Spelljammer. Excited to try this setting out.

Haha yeah true, Morrus. It just struck me funny, as someone who works in the court system (but not an attorney) I'm constantly amazed how terminology can vary from state to state.

I'm not a lawyer but shouldn't that be "withdraws" lawsuit. Again, I could be wrong, but I believe it's the judge who decides whether a case is dismissed or not, and with or without prejudice.

The first part yes, because it sets up the game and all settings that follow. The second part, wars, I would argue is rather distinctive, not because of Greyhawk Wars, but because warfare was baked into AD&D from troop lists, to castle construction and siege machine rules. "Name-level"...

Ooh ooh let me try! Greyhawk is adventurers exploring ancient ruins for treasure against the backdrop of impending continental war and political strife.

Fair enough lol. Yeah using the full 20/10/5% was necessary because I was trying to push the figures in contrast to the full population amounts of the LGG. And as to page 13. Nice find, like your OP amend. I suppose ya, mercenaries and wanderers (like Rhennee?) wouldn't be easy to count!

I wrote about screwy demihuman populations not that long ago. Elven Populations in Greyhawk Not sure if this adds to the discussion but summary: the boxed set figures for demihumans iirc are just for fighting males, because originally Gygax was a wargamer. Greyhawk Wars and all that jazz. The...

Agreed on the DMGuild snub. They put out one adventure set in Barovia and all of Ravenloft is fair game on DMsGuild. The early section on GoS references quite a bit Greyhawk history, sets up Greyhawk factions and the maps feature regional Greyhawk geography. Never mind the module storylines...

Just came on here to say great topic Snarf Zagyg! I've been beating the fandom drums with Greyhawk deep dives for a few editions now. So I love to see so many other people weighing in and discussing the setting. Keep it up guys!

1E AD&D character sheets were classic in that the last line was for a hero's Will. It's up to someone else to write the death certificate. :LOL: These type of products are so gorgeous that I'd be afraid to write in it.

I like the historical side myself. While there are better people out there documenting the history of RPGs themselves, I prefer discussing and writing about the historical lore of the meta-settings. Greyhawk for me specifically.

Wonder if the value of my hardcover copy went up?

I love these suggestions. I did a blog post on this recently, here is my attempt: D&D: Alternate Vision Rules

I have loved d&d since the early 80s and I've done tons of projects for the fan community over the years, but I have never desired to work for wotc. Employee or otherwise. This is a company that routinely fires employees at Christmas. Like others said, it's a very narrow, competitive industry...

I'm old, but I definitely live by a personal code of bigger page count/price tag = less use. Smaller publications get more use and thus get tore up, but that's their function, not to be a high end work of art.

Vault of the Drow pic! Aww nvm, false alarm ;)

*facepalm* Okay I'm hoping for Planescape. MToF has done all the set-up work. Why not?

TL;DR I'm guessing the vast majority on this forum are opposed to this new look format.

I don't know if this was already mentioned, but has 5E adapted the artifact, Mighty Servant of Leuk-O yet? If not, sounds like you're halfway there!
