[QUOTE="Saracenus, post: 7605869, member: 47839"] The World of Greyhawk is a collection humano-centric faux-Medieval European civilizations surrounded and beset by fantastic creatures, magic, and ancient dungeons. It is the blueprint on which many a subsequent published campaign was built or it was spurned in attempt to do something "different." Truth is, Greyhawk has had many incarnations and authors in its publication history. Each brought a different point of view to Greyhawk. I think the most important thing is found in the Forward of the World of Greyhawk box set from 1983... [ATTACH=CONFIG]106486._xfImport[/ATTACH] Greyhawk is what you make of it. Is it a composite of Gygax's Appendix N from the 1st Edition DMG al la the Folio and Box set? Is it the war-torn and grim-dark world of Carl Sargent's [B]From The Ashes[/B]? Is it the reconciling "Silver Age" of Greyhawk during the Anne Brown/Roger Moore/Sean K. Reynolds era? Is it the sprawling Living Greyhawk shared world Organized Play brought us on the heels of Brown/Moore/Reynolds? Or is it your interpretation of one or more of these possible Greyhawks? You decide.
