That’s … an interpretation … of history. Blew past The Adventure Begins era. Or the beloved City of Greyhawk box.

This is fact. He also describes the wind going east to west, not west to east. And Gygax wrote Oerth’s planet tilt is 30°, not 23° plug that into climate modeling and a whole lot of chaos to seasons. But we’ve long entered the realm of make believe with Oerth not being heliocentric, but the...

Nice catch!

Except by latitude. Superior is north of Minneapolis, Minneapolis is at the 45° latitude as is Dorakaa. Nyr Dyv is quite south from Dorakaa. Think of putting Superior between Chicago and Nashville for Nyr Dyv’s climate.

That was a great read.

The simple structure of Moldvay/Cook has really left us with enough that modernization can be done quite well. Though there are tons of adaptations, I fell into Worlds Without Number and have enjoyed how it fit in Traveller skills into the system.

I’ve determined I’ll be going a different direction for my Greyhawk. Advancing the timeline to the 700s CY. Just like how GDQ brought awareness of drow to the campaign and the unreliable narrative of the setting, there will be events that do the same for Dragonborn, goliaths, others, though...

I came to mention both Xan Yae and Zuoken long from 1e days and pleased to see them both already mentioned.

Consider using the ability score bonuses of earlier D&D. +1 at ability score of 14 +2 at ability score of 18…

I just picked up the 2024 DMG last night. I’m in agreement with Stuart. There is a lot of interesting choices I could find myself thinking I might not have made that call, but I’m glad they thought of it. Such as the number of rulers who are explicitly listed as dragons under the guise of a...

Latitudes are slid too far north. For instance the northern coast of the Thillonrian Peninsula is just south of the 55° latitude. Dorakaa is about at the latitude of Minneapolis.

It’s also around 50° latitude. So Paris, Prague, Kyiv.

Kermin Mindebender is an epic NPC, an underling of Iuz whose talents Iuz uses to run his empire. Kermin was introduced in From the Ashes era and mostly detailed in Iuz the Evil. As an aside, Kermin payed a major role in the Iuz meta-region’s ending plot at the ending of Living Greyhawk. He had...

I can understand your position, but I think you’re narrowing creative options. For instance, in the Greyhawk cosmology lore, demigods can travel the world but higher tiers of divinity are supposedly locked out. This is Iuz’s in for being present and out for conquest. But other demigods could be...

Why'd you change the name of the Glorioles Mountain Range? Perkins: I am totally responsible for that change, and you know why I changed it, Christian. You know why I changed it. [Greyhawk fans slowly nod in understanding]

I agree, it is very easy to find possible origins. The example of drow in Greyhawk is a fine example. Drow had their origin in Greyhawk with the GDQ series and based on the lore of those, drow were essentially unknown to the (non-elf) surface dwellers until this series and it revealed just one...

Heh, I’m in hard agreement.

In my head canon, the qullan and goliaths are the same species, but the qullan are a tribe that were cursed by the Egg of Coot and under its mysterious influence.
