D&D General You Can Now Make Greyhawk Stuff On DM's Guild!

As of today, third party creators can publish and sell material set in the World of Greyhawk! Dating back to the dawn of Dungeons & Dragons, Greyhawk has an entire chapter devoted to it in the new 2024 Dungeon Master's Guide.

Right now you can check out some legacy official content from Wizards of the Coast, but expect more to start appearing there as soon as the third party creators get their teeth into it.

Dungeons & Dragons May Not Come Back to Greyhawk After 2024 Dungeon Master's Guide

Wizards of the Coast does not appear to have future plans for the Greyhawk setting past the 2024 Dungeon Master's Guide. Speaking at a press event earlier this month, Dungeons & Dragons game architect Chris Perkins explained that the inclusion of Greyhawk campaign setting material in the...

Makes sure to refer to your content as taking place in Arn, unless you choose to get a call from lawyers representing Arneson's estate.

The Darlene map of Flanaess has the name Blackmoor, for the wider region. I assume the name "Blackmoor" is ok within the Guild.

My intention is to refer to the region as Arn, and use the name Blackmoor for a 5e version of the Blackmoor fishing village.

Referring to the area as Arn is a way to honor Arneson.

I'm conflicted, to be honest. I did do a quick video on it this afternoon:

Can you drop us a link to where we can buy your Castle of the Mad Mage?

Hey! What plans do you have?

BTW I just ran Holmes dungeon for a group using Basic Fantasy.

Nothing specific, right now at least. I did just go and add Greyhawk to the "Settings" list for my Zenopus conversion, since I have a section in there on using it with "Ghosts of Saltmarsh", which leans heavily on Greyhawk for the micro setting details.

I would like to do a second level for the Zenopus dungeon (I've had some ideas for years), but I'm not super well-versed in 5E, so doing another DMs Guild project is a much heavier lift than writing in a system I'm more familiar with. I'm currently preparing my "Forgotten Smugglers' Cave" module for Holmes/OD&D - which I serialized on my blog - for publication on DriveThruRPG.

Great to hear that you ran the Sample Dungeon. For a few years during the pandemic I played in an online Stonehell game that used Basic Fantasy and enjoyed the system.

I would not assume anything on thwt point.

Though WotC does actually probsvly have trademark rights to Blackmoor, since they publish products online titled "Blackmoor".

So when are we getting Kingdoms of Kalamar?

 

[Micah Sweet]

Birthright was very much a symptom of late TSR's "pump out as much stuff as humanly possible" business plan.

My goodness I loved that business plan! So worth it from the consumer perspective IMO.

You'd have to ask Kenzer & Company about that.

The Darlene map is not in the 2024 DMG.

You do you, but I would avoid the B-word without further clarification from WotC.

Looks like some are already arriving. Some of the old LG triad that ran Onnwal and wrote a bunch of old LG articles for WotC covering the Aerdy region (you can still find them using the wayback machine) are starting to publish some content.

Booooo, hiss, this is not acceptable in a product for sale, use stick figures if they cannot be bothered to pay an artist:
