World of Greyhawk Fantasy Game Setting
- World of Greyhawk Fantasy Game Setting
The "World of Greyhawk Fantasy Game Setting" and the "World of Greyhawk Fantasy World Setting" are two closely related publications from TSR, Inc. that detail the "World of Greyhawk" campaign setting for the "Dungeons & Dragons" fantasy roleplaying game. The "Fantasy World Setting" was first published in a folio format in 1980, and is often referred to by fans of the setting as the "World of Greyhawk Folio"[Citation| last =Johnson| first =Forrest| title =Review: World of Greyhawk Fantasy Game Setting| journal = The Space Gamer| volume = | issue =33| pages =1| date =1980-11-01| year =1980]

The folio was supplanted in 1983 by the "Fantasy Game Setting" in a boxed set format, and is often referred to by fans as the "World of Greyhawk Boxed Set", or as the "1983 boxed set."Both publications were authored by Gary Gygax and were the first stand-alone offerings to provide detailed, comprehensive information regarding the campaign setting. The 1983 boxed set provides the more detailed treatment of the two works, containing a 48-page "Glossography" and an 80-page "Catalogue," which significantly augmented the more limited 32-page "Gazetteer" from the 1980 folio version. Both publications included full-color maps of the Flanaess, the geographical area that defines the campaign setting.
