Template:Infobox RPG Greyhawk, also known as the World of Greyhawk, is a campaign setting for the Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying game.[1][2] The World of Greyhawk includes the Free City of Greyhawk, from which the name was taken.[3] As one of the earliest of the D&D campaign settings, many of the rules for the game itself were developed in conjunction with game play by Gary Gygax and others in and around Castle Greyhawk and its dungeons.[4] While constructing the milieu, Gygax also incorporated the campaign worlds of his fellow role-players, such as Blackmoor (Dave Arneson's campaign)[5] and the Lendore Isles (a region created by long-time stalwart Len Lakofka).[6]
