Template:Infobox RPG Greyhawk, also known as the World of Greyhawk, is a campaign setting for the Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying game. The World of Greyhawk includes the Free City of Greyhawk, from which the name was taken. 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. While constructing the milieu, Gygax also incorporated the campaign worlds of his fellow role-players, such as Blackmoor (Dave Arneson's campaign)^[1] and the Lendore Isles (a region created by long-time stalwart Len Lakofka).^[2]
