D&D General Melf's Guide to Greyhawk Coming From Luke Gygax & WotC

[TerraDave]

Also, I wish the sound quality was better.

 

[Dire Bare]

no, you really do not. The Gygaxes were not in charge or even involved with D&D for a long time, there is no need to change that.

There also is no need to keep them out, assuming they are good designers in their own right and this is not just nepotism / benefitting from your family name.

Disagree.

Having a rift in the community, between the OSR crowd, the modern D&D crowd, and WotC is not good for WotC or the community.

For the current WotC management to be working on mending that rift and including Luke in new D&D products is a good move.

I could be interested in a big Greyhawk setting book.

 

[Dire Bare]

Looking forward to this!

Will this be the Q4 release or something smaller associated with organized play? Or perhaps something Luke is doing on the DM's Guild, similar to some of Greenwood's Realms projects?

Either way, excited to see what they come up with!

I would assume a WotC book, anybody can just do a Greyhawk DM's Guild book.

 

[TerraDave]

It must be a WotC book.

After "adventures" is mentioned, so is "Castle Greyhawk"...but that does not mean we will see that (or won't see it).

Also, Otis the ranger died in in the Tomb of Horrors.

What is the rift they are talking about?

 

[aco175]

Melf the Elf was the model for one of my first characters- Orf the Dwarf. I hope for obvious reasons.

While the OSR community may look to Luke, Luke himself plays modern D&D regularly at conventions.

...i can't tell whether this is more akin to quasi-sanctioned eberron / realms books from keith baker and ed greenwood or a fully-sanctioned D&D supplement...
