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...

Aargh. Now I've gotten sucked into another AI debate that we've been told isn't appropriate for this forum.

But it has not been a setting sine 2e correct? Also, it only became a setting after the fact. We had a game and adventures that we bought and played it in the early 80s and only later told this was "Mystara." The game, at least to us, didn't feel like it had a setting back in the day.

According to Wikipedia, Mystara didn’t become used as a name until 1991, by which time BECMI was already in decline. I don’t remember Mystara being a thing either but I remember the modules that were eventually retconned to be called the Mystara setting.

Don't know if you are joking about the latter, though I think the DMsGuild could use more of that sort of mixing. If you are serious and make an exploration of how to mix the theologies of the two Settings, and make a map thst connects the Flannaes to the eastern edge of Faerûn replacing Kara-Tur, I will buy it.

I'd absolutely buy a good map that placed all the min-settings from Radiant Citadel in Oerik, between the Flannaes and Sundered Empire.

There are canon locations in Greyhawk for most of them!

People are working on it, yes.

As it remains, using it in a commercial product is purely unethical and disgusting. Theybwould have been better off using stick figures, especially for a 5 page fluff piece.

It's based on machine learning. It is not simple copy and paste. If the slope of a line can be copyrighted then the whole world is undone including the artists world. I'm tired though too of this debate. The ignorance of technology though is high but what do I expect on a gamers board.

The ignorance of art and ethics is high, but what do I expect on a games board.

Yes, machine "learning". That is, copying.

Point is, "creators" who use AI art should be called out.

I will convict every artist who ever lived if they can convict based on the use of AI.

Yet nobody is going to call out the unethical usage of real human art.

 

[Snarf Zagyg]

I am going to suggest that the ethics of AI art isn't really germane to the thread, but the only way the topic will stop is if people stop debating it. There are other threads to argue about it.

As for the thread topic, I have long wished for the DM's Guild to be open for Greyhawk, and I can't wait to see what people come up with! Personally, I'd like to see someone come up with some Greyhawk-specific subclasses for 5e: High Voltage.

Why? Because I don't think WoTC is going to do that anytime soon, and that would be wicked cool.
