[QUOTE="Paul Farquhar, post: 7576160, member: 6906155"] By it's very nature Greyhawk is a CORE RULES setting. Sure, you could start adding that stuff, if you wanted the setting's fans to burn you with fire for messing with their favourite setting. Sure, that would be good anyway. So you have filled half a page. Given the lack of novels, Greyhawk NPCs are slightly less famous than last year's reality TV stars and exist only as names with maybe a class attached. I don't see much point in statting NPCs in any setting, anyway. If the players aren't going to kill it it doesn't need stats. All of them, then. There are exactly ZERO famous modules that actually make use of the Greyhawk setting. They are all generic, and where located in Greyhawk because that was the official setting at the time of publication. It makes no business sense whatsoever to publish them as anything other than "setting agnostic". Nearly every magic item in the 5e DMG is a Greyhawk item. Shoehorning in Dragonborn seems like a good way to provoke apoplexy in Greyhawk fans. Congrats. You have just made Trigger's Broom. A 99% completely new campaign setting with the word Greyhawk attached. [/QUOTE]
