I confess, I use post-wars material anachronistically in a pre-wars setting. Have mercy on my soul.

I fully support this endeavour but I don't think it'll get much traction here. This place is just D&D5, Warhams, and MTG now.

Redpill me on Greyhawk. What makes it good?

Greyhawk is a setting that was designed from the beginning to play the game of Dungeons & Dragons in. Unlike Mystara, it did have an overall structure and theme from the beginning (it is analogous to the frontier period of US history) but although Gary did write novels set there, it is not presumed to follow any particular narrative path. The idea all along is that each individual Greyhawk campaign is its own individual parallel universe (Your Oerth might be my Yarth and vice versa) and the materials available are very much like lego sets that may not even have been designed to match but still latch together nicely and are even suitable to being taken apart, reassembled and amalgamated.

Furthermore, the setting is *traditional* - which I think appeals to many people. 99% of orcs and 99.99% of drow are evil. Different real world ethnicities have analogous *human* ethnicities and they all get along fairly well in a somewhat survival oriented frontier scenario. The least trustworthy ones are actually the super-white ones, may of whom are either Viking types in the North or straight up magic kung-fu nazis.

How are we feeling about the newly-announced Melf's Guide to Greyhawk by Luke Gygax?

I'm more of a Larry Elmore guy but it's awesome to see new art like that, really looks like the cover of an AD&D orange spine book. Is that intended to be Prince Brightflame himself?

Hopefully it will not significantly retcon too much but if it ends up being of comparable quality to VRGtR I'll be happy, I strongly suspect that Wizards bought up the Rebooted material and it would be great if it got used in the upcoming official releases. I think Luke is probably the right Gygax to be a part of that, he's someone who can be collaborative and still bring a healthy measure of real authenticity to the whole project. Seems like it'll be good.

There are few people who should be despised more than Gary's kids. All of them have proven to be talentless, while exaggerating their dad's accomplishments and abilities in hopes of building a cult around him.

Everytime someone bring that up I am almost sure it's a no-games being a poser.

Brings what up?

If any weary travelers are in need of some fine food, the Inn of the Paladin Prince in Hommlet has the best eating in all of Greyhawk!

I have a D&D 5.5 DMG and that is my only experience with Greyhawk. desu, how to run official D&D setting for a one-shot or campaign is beyond me. Remember the history and meta plots of imaginary world and where and what should be by numbers... and for what? But then again, not a fan of D&D.

I want The Horned Society to make a comeback. Empire of Iuz is so boring and generic. The Horned Society was interesting because it was a variety of Medium-Bad Evil Guys (MBEGs) vying for power and influence against good-aligned kingdoms AND EACH OTHER. That made it 5x more interesting than the old "evil emperor ruling an evil empire" trope that is Iuz. And the Bandit Kingdoms, they made Greyhawk more frontier-like and wild.

Too warm! Long summers and short winters are no good for me.

Same here, I never set my games during the great war/edition reset, prefering to keep to the earlier original (boxed set/modules) setting I was familiar with. The Horned Society made a perfect 'evil Empire' force for the low level characters to sharpen their blades on before taking on the bigger threats like the forces of Iuz or the Devil worshipping Great Kingdom. I used to have the Horned Society as being made up mostly of forest dwelling horned races, like beastmen and minotaurs, with the orcs, goblins and ogres prefering open plain, hill and mountain locations.

That map was really handy in campaigns. The set also came with a matching map of the sewers for players to explore - lots of 'dungeon' adventures were possible without ever leaving the city.
