[QUOTE="Dristram, post: 29658, member: 1639"] Great info. all! Let me see if I have this straight: As far as D&D fantasy settings go, Blackmoor was the first published setting (1974). Although it's situated between the Great Kingdom and the Egg of Coot(?), so it makes it seem like Blackmoor is actually a country. And I take it the Great Kingdom and Egg of Coot were not officially published. So the first published world setting would be Greyhawk (1975). Is the Blackmoor on Oerth the same as the original? It has a Great Kingdom as well. But no Egg of Coot :) And then Mystara was first becoming it's own setting when the Grand Ducky of Karameikos was introduced in the OD&D Expert Rulebook (1981). And didn't officially become Mystara until the early 1990's. If this is correct, the dates would be: Blackmoor - 1974 Greyhawk - 1975 Mystara - 1981 (or officially early 1990's) Cool :D [/QUOTE]
