I just published a blog post about Greyhawk's return as the default setting for D&D 2024, and I thought some of you might be interested.
I dive a bit into Greyhawk's history and explore what this comeback might mean for our games. I've tried to cover both the exciting possibilities and potential challenges - like how the new rules might clash with Greyhawk's classic gritty feel, or how the Bastion system could interact with the Flanaess' political landscape.
One thing I've always loved is how collaborative Greyhawk's creation was from the start. It's pretty cool to see how many of D&D's original crew left their mark on the setting. The community acts like shared-worldbuilding is a new invention, but it's been in the DNA of the hobby since the start to me.
I'm curious to hear what you all think about Greyhawk's return. Are you excited? Skeptical? What are your hopes or concerns? I've got mixed feelings myself, I love the political intrigue and the grittier nature of OG Greyhawk, but doubtful that can be maintained with the 2024 edition of DnD.
