I had a fairly comprehensive list in a different thread. Mostly from memory… Paynims to … I can’t remember Tiger Nomads to Chakyik Wolf Nomads to Wegwuir Blackmoor to Arn Rovers of the Barrens to The Huntinglands Frost/Ice/Snow Barbarians to their own kingdom names. North Province to Aerdiaak...

Glorioles got a deserved renaming because sometimes you need to head off the distraction of our inner 15-year-old. Shibboleth got renamed to Froghome, I’m ¯\(ツ)/¯ about that one but fine.

I’ve thought about ordering the Manga as well, but I doubt I would re-read like I re-watch Frieren, then it would just take up space. I’ve re-watched it a few times since it completed, too. Thought there is a fair chance I would buy any BluRay collection!

In this case, I could imagine there was a pass by cultural consultants who advised not using terms with a history of being applied to “heathen outsiders/invaders”. Nomad, Rover, Barbarian, Paynim. Maybe even with Rovers of the Barren, dropping the word “Barren” as an association of being...

Here is one site that has it, Dungeons & Dragons' New Core Rulebooks Want to Show, Not Tell

And the name Shar made its first appearance in the 2e accessory, The Scarlet Brotherhood, by Sean Reynolds.

AdmundfortGeographer’s review from this low res image: 🫡 👍 As much as I’d love including further north, west, and south, it is a good addition to the pantheon of Flanaess maps.

LOL of course they’d rename Glorioles! Shibboleth was renamed Froghome. Fair.

But these each three got “North …” appended to their name, and likely the reason North Province got renamed to Aerdiaak.

And … Aerdiaak? I thought I was fairly well read in Ivid, but is there lore associating that name to North Province/Kingdom?

Interesting. Renaming some of the northern regions, I see. Reasonable, too. Blackmoor named to Arn! Awww, nice touch!

Not exactly true based on what I remember from what I recall authors like Erik Mona and Gary Holian saying, I think even Sean Reynolds was involved with writing the deities section and said as much, the LGG was being written while 3e rules was still under development. There was almost nothing...

Alright then. Barrier Peaks plus B4? My wallet is getting lighter. ¯\(ツ)/¯

Given that the drow “weren’t noticed” before GDQ, there’s enough precedent that a PC race is from some nearby obscure enclave.

The termination of Living Greyhawk. I was deep into LG and the treatment of the organizers was not great… I left RPGs entirely it was so demoralizing. Only a few years into 5e did I even give a consideration as my kids were coming to an age they started asking questions about my shelves and...

I figured he’d be too swamped as Paizo now. Though I recall hearing the Gary Holian wasn’t too keen on the sorts of ownership terms the DMsGuild published under and was pleased using the existing fan content policy that permits things like Oerth Journal.

Roger Moore, Gary Holian, Sean Reynolds… ? There were a few LG authors I’d grab immediately, such as the Onnwal and Splintered Suns region writers, like Creighton Broadhurst.

Just wanted to chime in, WGR7 Ivid the Undying is among Carl Sargent’s top tier work. It is maybe the best source for material in the Great Kingdom. I referenced it over and over when drawing my maps for the region. I ended up scouring the internet archive for WotC’s old free .rtf of it so I...

I’m not sure why you’re taking an aggrieved stance about the unseen 2024 sample-Greyhawk, but it truly feels like you are far closer to the stance of fans who are excited about it and how they could imagine bringing in the new elements to their campaigns.
