by 3orcs – Dungeon Master, Mapmaker, Worldbuilder The World of Greyhawk has always been more than just maps and modules—it’s about depth, choices, and characters that bleed with ambition, fear, and hunger. As a Dungeon Master running the legendary Temple of Elemental Evil , I’ve come to believe that it's the little places—the taverns, the brothels, the alley deals—that give the big story its soul. That’s why I’m excited to introduce one of the darkest veins of Nulb’s underworld: Lorveth “The Broker” Thrask , the cold-blooded slaver and intelligence fixer who pulls strings in the shadows of the Boatman’s Tavern.

Hello, adventurers and Dungeon Masters! It’s 3orcs here, bringing you a deep dive into the latest storm surrounding Dungeons & Dragons , sparked by none other than Elon Musk and Rob Kuntz. As someone who grew up with Gary Gygax’s brilliant World of Greyhawk and who runs traditional D&D campaigns, I felt compelled to address this controversy and what it means for fans of classic D&D. Musk’s fiery comments defending Gary Gygax and criticizing Wizards of the Coast (WotC) and Hasbro—calling out their perceived disrespect for D&D’s origins—have resonated with many fans.

  Greetings, Dungeon Masters! It’s 3orcs here, and today, we’re diving into a cornerstone of the World of Greyhawk —the rich diversity of its human populations. One of the most striking aspects of this campaign setting is the fact that “human” isn’t just a singular race but a tapestry of cultures, languages, and traditions woven together across the Flanaess .  If you’re preparing to run the legendary T1 Village of Hommlet or the sprawling Temple of Elemental Evil , understanding the distinctiveness of Greyhawk’s human races will add depth and immersion to your campaign.
