E.g., Chainmail in its own lore is Western Oerik. - Indirect links in the setting to Greyhawk.  E.g., D&D the Animated Series apparently mention Warduke. The movie “D&D: Wrath of the Dragon God” mentioned multiple classic modules.- Something that influenced the creation or early growth of the game.  E.g., Conan, Middle Earth, Cthulhu mythos, Fahrd & the Gray Mouser, Arneson’s version of Blackmoor.- Fantasy that feels very Greyhawk, especially if that’s intentional in tone or by former Greyhawk authors.  E.g., Raging Swan Press settings feel like a Greyhawk region settled by folks from the Flanaess.- Fantasy that feels Greyhawk compatible in tone, but is considerably different with no links to a Greyhawk-like place.  For me, Kozakura from Oriental Adventures.- A place with low population, and tech including magic tech, less than or equal to Greyhawk.  So all of the above, possibly yes, but Forgotten Realms - higher magic, huge cities - certainly not on Oerth, but perhaps a Plane Shift or Spelljammer away.</blockquote>
