Any New greyhawk news/confirmations?

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

LG came about because Living City was growing long in the tooth and would be difficult to convert.

Sorry, that still doesn't make any sense. If it's necessary to convert it at all, it's because people are using new books. The fact that conversion is being discussed at all is because people are switching over.

I've already read that Greyhawk is out as the default seting. It also looks like Living Greyhawk is kaput.

Maybe they will finally sell Greyhawk to a third party publisher.

Paizo, anyone?

Nope. Tried that, pretty much annually.

The official word is that they are not interested in licensing any settings at this time.

So we're making our own. I'm relatively certain our Pathfinder Chronicles world will appeal to Greyhawk fans, which at this point is really the best I can offer.

You know, about 10 minutes before I saw you posted to this thread I was thinking, "I wonder if Erik Mona and Paizo will try and license GH since..."

Bummer it hasn't happened. There is next year, though.

Greetings!

Erik, you know, when I was in gradeschool--gosh, so long ago...the first campaign I ever played in was the Greyhawk Box setting--with the two small books, and all those crazy maps! Fun times, and lots of wonderful adventure and inpsiration!

I really appreciate you carrying the standard for Greyhawk for all of these years, and championing the classic campaign at every opportunity. It was a great setting, and I have been frustrated and disappointed with WOTC's dropping the ball on re-energizing the setting for years. It's a shame, really. I hope you guys keep your fingers on the pulse of things should an opportunity ever arise for you guys to get the damned liscense from WOTC so that you could do the setting proper justice.

Ah, those ancient, happy days!

Thanks, Erik!

Semper Fidelis,

SHARK

Thanks again Erik
Im intrigued by the pathfinder world, but im not too happy about paizo going 4E on the 3rd AP and beyond. Ill still pick up the first two .

Wow, RPGA is going to explode Greyhawk and WotC is going to leave its dead carcass to rot. Interesting.

Seems that WotC is doing a great job in killing off many of the old icons that made D&D a great game.

Boy do I know a few RPGA'ers that are going to be pissed at this news. I'll just have to tell them to stand in line with all the others that are angry at WotC.

Go Go Living Arcanis!

For me, this ranks as some of the best news I've heard yet about 4E

As far as I'm concerned The World of Greyhawk died on Dec 31, 1985 and everything with the Greyhawk logo to come out of TSR, WotC, Paizo, and the RPGA since then has been straight-up necrophilia (some of it well-intentioned without a doubt, but necrophilia nonetheless). The sooner that thing that's been calling itself the "official" WoG for the last 22 years is dead, buried, and forgotten about and the real setting is finally allowed to rest in peace the better, IMO.

The desecration of GH is complete. GH based AP's revived published adventures, Living Greyhawk was innovative for massive regional campaigning and GH was the core world for 3E D&D. All are gone in a span of a few months. Kudos to all the hard working authors who kept GH alive this last decade and a big middle finger to WotC may your new efforts crash and burn.
