D&D (2024) A Reintroduction to Greyhawk

Right, but those are not the assumptions of the default muliverse setting. Obviously your games, your setting, and you are free to make those changes. But, you’re then not using the default setting presented in the books.
That was the assumptions of the default multiverse until the 5E Spelljammer book radically changed the way spelljamming worked. Each world was in a crystal sphere, which limited how much you could impact "being on the same plane," but all the worlds were on the same prime material plane separated by the pholston (sp?). I only recently discovered this change when I read the 5E spelljammer book to get ready for Vecna: Eve of Ruin (I'm learning about all the settings to hopefully give a better feel of each to the players).

It’s not the whole world? Is it? Just the continent of the Flanaes.

Only a part of the whole world.

One can only hope they use this reboot of Greyhawk to finally get rid of that horrendous version of Oerik...

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.

If you're interested in checking it out, you can find the post here.
Excited, skeptical and at the same time... I have Lankhmar for DCC so I am ok if it isn't as gritty as 1e Greyhawk plus I can use the optional rules to make a grittier game because I read the DMG.
