    This document provides an introduction to the reimagined Greyhawk setting for 5th edition Dungeons & Dragons. It explains that traditionally non-Greyhawk races like tieflings, genasi, and firbolg have been adapted to better fit the tone of Greyhawk. Lands beyond the continent of Oerik offer options like dragonborn that expand character choices while maintaining Greyhawk's style. The setting also includes subraces and cultures from old Dragon Magazine articles to flesh out the world while adding new twists. The goal is to rework rather than just update Greyhawk to make it dynamic for 5th edition without changing its old school style.

    Preface

    We’ve re-imagined Tieflings


    to make them, and other “non-
    traditional races” like Genasi
    and Firbolg, more in keeping
    with the overall feel and theme
    of the classic Greyhawk setting.

    The key here is “not found in the


    original setting”. Remember, the
    original setting only included a
    small portion of the continent of
    Oerik. Therein lies the solution Dragon Magazine #102 (Oct 1985)
    to the inclusivity of all for the
    5th Edition options. Beyond the and its fleshing out by Roger E. Moore

    There be Dragonborn!” option. There are also new sub-races not found
    in the 5e Player’s Handbook such as the

    in 1985, was originally intended to be Finally, this is not merely a simple
    an expansion of the Greyhawk Setting update to the setting for 5th edition
    (as seen in the announcement at upper compatibility. Rather it is more a re-
    right from Dragon #102). For whatever imagining and kit-bashing of the setting,
    reason, it was eventually published as making it dynamic rather than frozen in

    Greyhawk also has some other player


    options not found in other published

    a long history of being “the best darn door-

    by Gygax in Dragon #29 (Sept 1979)
