In my experience of D&D, the classic modules have always kind of existed as isolated experiences, collected in adventure anthologies, but separated from any real place. I guess I knew that in theory they were all set in Greyhawk, but they never really felt grounded in the reality of an actual setting to me, they were just something that could be played as standalone dungeons. I remember shortly before it had been announced that Greyhawk was going to be in the 2024 DMG, I had mentioned to my partner “wouldn’t it be kind of cool to run a campaign where the Tomb of Horrors was just… there, on the map, as a place you could go?” as if that wasn’t exactly how it actually worked at one time. Then I saw it pointed out on the DMG version of the Greyhawk map and it kinda actualized the idea for me. These dungeons do all exist as places on the map, and the setting I was idly thinking about trying to run a sandbox campaign in already exists, and is going to be featured in a book, that I had been waiting to come out before starting a new campaign anyway!</blockquote>
