You are here: Level One / Blog / RPG Legends: Greyhawk Posted on August 4, 2017 by Paul Bellow One cannot have Dungeons and Dragons without Greyhawk. Sure, there have been other settings in the history of the game. There have even been settings that have arguably been more successful. At the heart of the game, though, is Greyhawk – still sitting around, still waiting for adventurers to come through and add to the legacy of the setting. Greyhawk has, in many ways, become more than a setting – it’s a core part of the D&D identity, influencing game design even when the setting isn’t active. If you love Dungeons and Dragons, you have to give at least a nodding bit of respect to one of its earliest worlds. While Greyhawk is deeply ingrained in Dungeons and Dragons, that doesn’t mean that its legacy has been static. It has been a default setting, a popular alternative, a forgotten also-ran, and a relic over the course of its existence. The game has inspired novels and games, helped new designers to come up with role playing games of their own, and became part of the bedrock foundation of the role playing world. Greyhawk is without any exaggeration one of the most important things to happen to the world of role playing games. Whether it can compete today, though, is up to the individual player. https://litrpgreads.com/blog/rpg-legends-greyhawk
