[QUOTE="Wyvernhand, post: 5849926, member: 97681"] Living Greyhawk was basically a world wide MMPPRPG (massively multiplayer pen and paper RPG). There were thousands of people playing it between about 2000 til 2008. Basically, a large group of people got together. The real world was subdivided into regions, and each region corresponded to a country or area in Greyhawk. Each region had a triad (3 people responsible for regional plots), and a group of writers. They would put out 15ish modules per year, each about 4-6 hours long. At the end of each module, you would get an adventure record (AR) that detailed the amount of gold and xp you got, along with the items you found access to. So while on an MMORPG, your character info is stored on a server, in LG, your character is recorded on these ARs. Given what, about 15ish regions with 15 mods per year, plus 20 core mods, that's about 2205 modules worth of information (about 11025 hours) out there. Good luck getting ahold of them though. WotC owns all the rights to them and is adamant about not sharing them. LG was run by the RPGA, aka WotC's book of the month club. They currently run Living Realms, the 4e version of Living Greyhawk.
