 | This article is about a topic found primarily or only in the RPGA's Living Greyhawk campaign (2000-2008). While it is officially sanctioned and is frequently based on officially published material, it may be considered unofficial or non-canonical to the setting. |
This Template is used to place a banner at the beginning of a section under a new header indicating the content is from the RPGA's Living Greyhawk organized-play campaign, and may not be considered "official" or "canon" in most cases.
Description
Living Greyhawk content is typically created by various volunteer Regional Triads (or their designees) and distributed by WotC or published on their own fan websites. Though authorized for use by Wizards of the Coast, a great deal of latitude was permitted to the volunteer organizers and authors. Though it was not "official" content, WotC linked to fan sites from official Wizards.com pages with a "Triad Website (external)" link on each region's landing page.[1]
These types of documents including this material include:
- Gazetteers
- detailing and often expanding the history of a region, or adding information about geography, political divisions, or settlements, and such.
- Meta-campaign Guidebooks
- detailing all affiliations, factions, and organizations in a region to which player characters could belong.
- Individual documents for specific groups were also available in some areas, going into even closer detail on a single group.
- Maps
- with a closer resolution than official maps, including more settlements, counties, roads, etc.
- Other regional documents
- these may include individual breakdowns of material found in gazetteers; in-depth history, social norms, plotline/storyline summaries by year, town building projects, or certificates awarded to players for their participation in particular events.
- Or one-page primers which gave easier, less detailed information than a whole gazetteer.
Usage
It is preferred that all information relating the Living Greyhawk campaign relating to the topic of an article be placed in its own section.
Place the template as the first line of the section, immediately after the section header.
== In Living Greyhawk ==
{{Livig Greyhawk section}}
or
== In Living Greyhawk ==
{{LGsection}}
will produce this banner at the beginning of the appropriate section.
