Greyhawk

Hello,

We are considering what to do to make Greyhawk into a "Good Article". Please discuss here if you like, or just check out the article itself and see what you can do. :) BOZ (talk) 03:22, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Castle Zagyg

Saw your question on the Greyhawk talk page re the connection between Greyhawk and Castle Zagyg . We are in the process of revising this article and the new version will include this info. However, so as not to keep you in suspense, in a nutshell, the original creator of the Greyhawk world, Gary Gygax, and his co-DM Rob Kuntz, co-developed fifty levels of dungeons under Castle Greyhawk between 1974-1985 for their personal home campaign. However, Gygax was forced out of TSR in 1985 and TSR took over all rights to anything he had ever done while at TSR except Gygax's Gord the Rogue novels and any names that were anagrams of his names (Yrag=Gary, Zagyg=Gygax).

Gygax and Kuntz decided to publish all their material about the city of Greyhawk and Castle Greyhawk, but they had binders and binders of notes, most of them fairly cryptic, pencilled in haste during play sessions (since they often made up stuff on the fly.) Both of them were involved in other stuff, and it was also hard to find a publisher willing to print all of their notes, so it was another 20 years until Troll Lord Games made the commitment to publish all their material in nine volumes. Since they no longer owned the rights to the name "Greyhawk", Castle Greyhawk was renamed Castle Zagyg, and the city of Greyhawk was renamed Yggsburgh. The first two volumes of this work were published before Gygax's death in 2008, and several more volumes have been published since then.

Look for this material to be added to the Greyhawk article within the next few weeks. Guinness323 (talk) 16:06, 22 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
