It's always refreshing ...What a great article! <br />It's always refreshing to see people making Greyhawk their own! Especially that you reference the original books regarding making GH suit our own games! <br />The only point I would disagree with is - <br />"Wolf and tiger nomads strike me as especially dull, since that trope is already covered in the baklunish lands."<br />For my personal game, I make them more similar to the Mongolian Horde. … they have a similar history with the "Golden Horde", they're founded by a mythical celestial "Wolf", and the split-off Tiger Nomads are more like when Ghengis Khan's descendants invaded China, and founded the first dynasties there. Tigers are common in China, after all. Also, I like how the titles for rulers line up more with Mongolian stuff. <br />Although, I make the lands of the Baklunish West more Persian than anything.<br /><br />So, though the predominant races of both cultures are Baklunish in origin, I make them distinct from each other, kind of like you do.

My last camp...I'll second the appeal of Ratik. My last campaign was set there, as will (I think) my next. I've always been partial to the Wild Coast and the Domain of Greyhawk, but I decided to go with Ratik several years back and I'm glad I did. Great mix surrounding it, as you said, and I love "borderlands" campaigns.Blucherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07884756297191632350noreply@blogger.com
