D&D General A Chart of D&D Campaign Worlds (v 3.0)

[JEB]

Oh, interesting.

Them that's D&D, too, in my book.

So just to clarify, in your view, if it's D&D compatible and produced by Wizards of the Coast, it's D&D? Even if the specific mechanics, flavor, and genre are all different?

To complicate things further, what about Shadowfell and Feywild? And if I include them, then should I include the Planes? And if so, should Planescape/Sigil be a sub-category?

Ravenloft is the playable part of the the Shadowfell!

You could certainly make a case of the Feywild being the setting for Wild beyond the Witchlight, and even Dungeonland/Land Beyond the Magic Mirror from 1st edition.

Just occurred to me, the 4E-era Gamma World RPG was explicitly based on D&D 4E. Does that therefore count as a D&D setting?

If so, do the previous Gamma World editions count as well? Some were compatible with D&D to varying degrees (the Sword & Sorcery Studios version used d20 Modern rules).

Based on the 1st edition DMG, both Gamma World and Boot Hill could be considered D&D settings.

An argument can certainly be made for Gamma World, if the 4E-era game is enough to make it a D&D setting.

Boot Hill depends on whether or not conversion guidelines are sufficient, though, since there was never a proper D&D version of Boot Hill.

Yes, absolutely. If it from the D&D team, and I can still k it in my D&D game on the fly while drunk? D&D.

4E and d20 Gamma World, yes. It every edition was D&D compatible, IIRC, but some were. When you can stixk it in without any trouble, it's D&D.

 

[Lanefan]

Where in all that are Judges Guild's City State(s) of the Invincible Overlord (1976) and World Emperor (1980) hiding?

They are part of "Wilderlands of High Fantasy".

They are part of "Wilderlands of High Fantasy".

In which case the dating on the chart is wrong - should show something in that row for each of 1976 (for CSotIO) and 1980 (for CSotWE), if google is to be believed.
