 | This article is about a topic found only from 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 top of a page 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 Regional Triads (or their designees) and published on their own fan websites. Though authorized for use by Wizards of the Coast, it was not reviewed and 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
Place the template as the first line of the page.
{{Living Greyhawk page}}
or
{{LGpage}}
Produces this banner at the top of the page.
| This article is about a topic found only from 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. |
