One of the fun things in early D&D is watching the level limits go up and up for demi-humans.I hear they're not even going to have level limits on demi-humans! Appalling!

They'll almost certainly tone down or completely change a lot of the language regarding racial groups and gender.Yeah, being concise is a selling point. And I really suspect this version of Greyhawk is going to be quietly updated to be a bit more cosmopolitan, a bit less 70's style dirty hovels and fantasy racism. I doubt it will be hard.
Yeah, dragonborn are not in Greyhawk because they were not in the DMG. The Greyhawk books in the boxed set just direct the DM to the DMG to determine which demi-humans are encountered in the random tables. I expect that the 2024 DMG will take a similar approach and reference the standard species in the 2024 books--and rightly so.What justification is needed? Greyhawk was pretty much everything D&D when it first came out. I don't see why that would have to change. Some assumptions would change because the game has evolved, but that's about it. Everything else can pretty much fit if you want it to.
For those of us who just didn't ignore them outright anyway. Weirdly, though, we still played with demihuman class limitations.One of the fun things in early D&D is watching the level limits go up and up for demi-humans.
It will be very interesting to see how the Pomarj is depicted.They'll almost certainly tone down or completely change a lot of the language regarding racial groups and gender.
My betting is that... not very much. I think they'll concentrate on a few core areas. I'm not really expecting a gazetteer of every area. Instead, a few highlights - and then the full map.It will be very interesting to see how the Pomarj is depicted.
They never did a global map for Toril in 5e, I doubt we will see one for Oerth. Of course, they might choose to focus on a continent other than Flannaess.Will there be a map of all of planet Oerth, or just the continent of Flanaess?
The planet map got mixed revues from Greyhawk fans. Probably the main complaint is the extraordinarily vast continents. But the regions here and there can be interesting.
