D&D General Mastering Dungeons: The World of Greyhawk History in the lead up to the 2024 DMG

[Saracenus]

Teos and Shawn give an overview of the publishing history of the World of Greyhawk and Living Greyhawk in the lead up to the 2024 DMG use of Greyhawk as a teaching tool.

If you are unfamiliar with Greyhawk and why some folks (pointing at myself) are passionate about this setting, these videos will fill in some gaps.

Greyhawk's Origins! (MD 197)



The Living Greyhawk Campaign! (MD 198)

Greyhawk’s Peoples and Story! (MD 199)

Note: Full disclosure, Teos is a friend.

Thanks for the shout-out! To be clear to anyone who may watch, we're going to be doing this for several weeks, but one thing we aren't doing with these episodes is do a deep dive into "the history of the people who created the setting." We took a couple of weeks to do an overview of the setting's development and publication history over time, and for the next several episodes we'll look at the setting's regions and the stories within the setting, especially as told in the Living Greyhawk Gazetteer. We're looking at the setting more as a way to examine and illuminate worldbuilding for a TTRPG world in general.

The sad thing is that because of how locked down Living Greyhawk was, most of that content is, at least for now, unavailable to most fans.

You are welcome Shawn. I always liked your work in the various Living Campaigns (I was in the Duchy of Urnst region for Living Greyhawk). I am glad you and Teos are working together.
