Classic Settings--where are they now?

[johnsemlak]

With The Wilderlands setting and Blackmoor coming out soon, I wanted to summarize what has happened to the varies settings that have been used for D&D (in all editions) over the years.

Please let me know if I've missed something.

  I've heard rumors that Kenzer could published some Hackmaster material based in Greyhawk but I don't know anything definite.

Athas.org Is handling this setting.

If you are referring to all old campaign settings, you have missed:

Empire of the Petal Throne

City State of the Invincible Overlord (being re-done for D20 by Judges Guild)

Birthright

Maztica

Kara Tur

Al Qadim

 

[Harlock]

I'm not sure Kara-Tur would count as it is technically Forgotten Realms. I am not certain but I suspect part of the OA agreement for AEG was that WotC would have a "non-competition" agreement and would not release Kara-Tur/Oriental flavored setting information. Not certain on that one, but it is a typical legal issue.

Thanks for the feedback. I've added most of it to the first post.

Spelljammer had a recent "mini-game" treatment in the pages of Dungeon/Polyhedron magazine. It was done by Andy Collins, who continues to support it on his site at:

I have a question on a OD&D setting; Thunder Rift. Anyone else remeber it? It had a few adventures cenetered insdie the rift.
I've read that this small setting (which the booklet was 32 pages) was an offical setting for OD&D, along with Mystara.
