But seriously, I'm looking to put together my first 3rd Edition campaign (yay!), and I'm waffling between using the World of Greyhawk and converting my homebrew world from 1st Edition. And frankly, the main strike against WoG is the goofy recent history that's been cooked up by TSR & WotC over the last few years.Looking at my copy of the Guide to the World of Greyhawk Fantasy Setting, copyright 1983 (by the good Colonel, naturally), I see a timeline ending in CY 576. The Living Greyhawk Gazetteer has a timeline ending somewhere around CY 590 ... Does anybody have any suggestions about how far back I should roll back the history? I'm thinking about c. CY 580 at the moment, it doesn't look like anything particularly inane happened before then. But I might change my mind as I start digging into the Dragon magazine archives. (I wasn't reading the WoG articles much back then, as I was heavily into the world I was designing at that point.)Any suggestions/words of encouragement/raspberries/whatever?</blockquote>
