So, I lose the mags I have loved since about '79 or so. And I'm to assume it will also be the end of offical Greyhawk material too. Or are they letting you keep using Greyhawk in Pathfinder?
Nope, the Pathfinder blog basically says that they can't reference Greyhawk anymore. Kinda sad.
As a player and DM who never really accepted Forgotten Realms, this is another sad reality.
I had heard that Greyhawk was out of 4th ed. This seems to be the clincher.
Hell's bells
Well, that would just be speculation, Ben, since 4E hasn't been announced yet. That said, I wouldn't bet against it, unfortunately.
Err...a dark age for WotC and Hasbro will come.... my crystal ball sees this...
A curse on those burecratic/business/money minded @#$&^%!*!!!.
I can't believe it! I've that aweful empty pit feeling in my gut. I can't see the sense of this, it's utter madness!!!
Can nothing be done? Dragon and Dungeon mags have been a constant companion and synonimous with the game. Greyhawk was suspose to be core, they failed in this. With only Dragon and Dungeon being stout support. Stupid!!!!Stupid!!!!! Stupid!!!!
I got to go work out on the heavy bag for a few hours now. Bunch of freaking *$#@%^&!
Greyhawk? That's for OLD people. Like printed magazines!

Wizards' attitude to GH has been very negative for ages, like you say I don't think anyone's too suprised, just disappointed.
Maybe they'll sell the rights to it (hopefully), if they don't then it's probably got enough popular fan support to be propped up by them.
Sorry, my "YEWS" aren't working here. :(
I found something similar with the letter "" -- whenever I type it it dosn't appear, really messes things up with words like "row", "able", and "left".
Rules Change, Greyhawk Endures.
While offical GH is probably dead, you can find fan support of the setting here:
http://www.canonfire.com
There are many other sites (check out CF's links) that support it.
If WotC will not do it, the the fans will.

If Expedition to Castle Greyhawk's sales suggest there's enough money in future Greyhawk products, they'll probably plan for some, though I don't anticipate many in any given year.
GH will never die, not until the old timers are all dead, anyway.
But it's bad that Greyhawk's been played only by old players !
Paizo are my official Greyhawkstuff retailer. I'm sure that Pathfinder will be good, since it's the same guys doing it, but I need my Greyhawk dose !
That's too bad.
I just have the feeling that the WotC Dragon and Dungeon issues are just going to contain Eberron and Forgotten Realms. Its just going to be what they post on their web site all ready but, call it a magazine. There is no signs that point that WotC will cover Greyhawk material or anything generic. Everything is going to be Eberron or Forgotten Realms.
Well, Paizo is on record at WoTC as very interested in the property, so I would hope that if anyone was to buy it, it would be them. Judging by the good relationship between the two companies, it may still be in the cards eventually.
Don't write any eulogies. It ain't dead yet.
This is worse than when Dark Sun and Planescap got axed. I hope those neo-capitalist motherf~%&ers burn in hell.
No planescape really stands above all in my mind.. nothing like the opportunity to chose between doing the Balors or the Pitfiends job at 3rd level.. :)
Ofcourse the pitfiends were the only ones regularly paying.
And well too..
Never mind that the money required you to spend them selfishly..
By "old" I was just referring to the post above mine.

As Dave Arneson has been able to get his Blackmoor setting back, which is being fully supported and played as a Massive Multiplayer RPG (A Living Campaign without RPGA)at all the major cons, and is growing, and is about to enter it's 4th year of re-existance...
Perhaps E Gary Gygax could regain the Greyhawk property...
To the best of my understanding, no one will ever get their hands on official Greyhawk ever again, no matter how hard they try, and how much the owners of the license despise it as a campaign setting.
Also, high necromancers of Hasbro are planning a ritual which will banish the setting to the Seventh Night, so that the prophecy that Greyhawk will one day be queen will never be realized.
Doom, doom, doom!

Cool, so all we need is a sword wielding Val Kilmer, a vertically challenged wizard trained by Billy Barty, and a talkng animal convinced it is an all-powerful sorceress, and we can foil their evil scheme.
Oh yeah, don't forget the skinned-mouse wearing, psychotic brownies.
We'll also need Hasbro's hot red haired daughter. And a somewhat antagonistic blond guy who will die during our siege of their headquarters to provide a sense of loss.

I hold my DwarfSacks with a white knuckle grip of hope and faith by what "Lord of Grumpiness" said in a earlier thread/post:
"Greyhawk will return, and on the Wii in 2010. I know from a reliable source. Greyhawk is alive!"Sackio would gladly slaughter a 1000 Pixes with the power of Forgiveness to see GreyHawk return to it's glory!
GreeeeeeeyHaaaaaaawk! Let's hear it fellas: GREYHAWK!
Your sacks disturb me.
But now I'm thinking of a Greyhawk version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"...
Grey... ack!
Grey... ack!
I'm gonna beat that guy!
You said Sack.
And Wii.
The bathroom humour circle is almost complete.

Waldorf wonroflmao! I love that! I wonder how many others know about that?
God that goes back many moons!When was that?89-90?
Dear, Dragon
Recently my AD&D® game character, Waldorf, a 358th-level magic-user, created the nuclear bomb. Due to this action, all of Greyhawk has been utterly obliterated, except for a 3 × 4 mile island with a castle called Castle Waldorf. All creatures from the Monster Manuals were destroyed due to large amounts of nuclear fallout. All the deities work in a salt mine under Waldorf’s castle. I would greatly appreciate it if everyone would mail their character sheets to me so that I may tally up Waldorf’s experience. All of the game manuals and modules are now totally false and untrue. Any profit made from TSR’s merchandise from this day onward should be mailed to Waldorf’s castle (in gold pieces, of course).
