===Fourth and fifth edition of D&D (2008 to present)=== ====Fourth edition==== At [[Gen Con]] 2007, WotC announced that the [[Editions of Dungeons & Dragons#Dungeons & Dragons 4th edition|4th edition of ''Dungeons & Dragons'']] would be released the following spring, and Greyhawk would no longer be the default campaign setting under the new rules system. For this reason, ''Living Greyhawk'' was not converted to the new rules system; instead, it was brought to a conclusion at [[Origins Game Fair|Origins 2008]]. In 2009, WotC released ''The Village of Hommlet'', by Andy Collins, which updated Gary Gygax's original 1st edition ''Village of Hommlet'' to the 4th edition rules for characters of 4th level. It was not available for purchase, but was sent as a reward for those who joined the RPGA.<ref>''The Village of Hommlet'' (2009)</ref> In March 2013 the adventure by Collins was reprinted in issue 212 of ''[[Dungeon (magazine)|Dungeon]]'', but now for characters of 3rd to 5th level.<ref>''[[Dungeon (magazine)|Dungeon]]'' #212 (2013)</ref> ====Fifth edition==== When the ''[[Player's Handbook]]'' for the [[Editions of Dungeons & Dragons#Dungeons & Dragons 5th edition|fifth edition of ''Dungeons & Dragons'']] was released in 2014, several references to the world of Greyhawk appeared throughout the descriptions of various races and classes, and a partial list of Greyhawk deities appeared in the book.<ref>''[[Player's Handbook]]'' (2014)</ref> The ''[[Monster Manual]]'', the second released book of the 5th edition, did not include any direct references to Greyhawk but did mention Explictica Defilus from ''[[Against the Cult of the Reptile God]]'' in the Naga entry, and tied the creation of [[Ghoul (Dungeons & Dragons)|ghouls]] to [[Doresain]], the "King of Ghouls", from the Greyhawk adventure ''Kingdom of the Ghouls'' by [[Wolfgang Baur]] from ''[[Dungeon (magazine)|Dungeon]]'' #70.<ref>''[[Monster Manual]]'' (2014)</ref> In April 2017, ''[[Tales from the Yawning Portal]]'' was released. It contained seven older modules now reprinted and updated for the [[Editions of Dungeons & Dragons#Dungeons & Dragons 5th edition|fifth edition of ''Dungeons & Dragons'']]. Four out of the seven were old Greyhawk modules: ''[[Against the Giants]]'', ''[[The Hidden Shrine of Tamoachan]]'', ''[[Tomb of Horrors]]'', and ''[[White Plume Mountain]]''. In addition the book also featured advice how to place the other adventures within the Greyhawk setting, or how to change the name-giving tavern Yawning Portal in Waterdeep from the Forgotten Realms into the Green Dragon Inn from the City of Greyhawk.<ref>[[Kim Mohan]], [[Mike Mearls]] (April 2017). ''[[Tales from the Yawning Portal]]''. ([[Wizards of the Coast]]).</ref> In May 2019, ''[[Ghosts of Saltmarsh]]'' was released for the [[Editions of Dungeons & Dragons#Dungeons & Dragons 5th edition|fifth edition of ''Dungeons & Dragons'']]. The book compiles new versions of classic adventures that are located around Saltmarsh in Greyhawk (''[[The Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh]]'', ''[[Danger at Dunwater]]'', and ''[[The Final Enemy]]''), or are generally naval themed.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://greyhawkonline.com/2019/05/08/official-setting-for-ghosts-of-saltmarsh/ |title=Official Setting for "Ghosts of Saltmarsh" |access-date=2019-07-02 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190702204623/https://greyhawkonline.com/2019/05/08/official-setting-for-ghosts-of-saltmarsh/ |archive-date=2019-07-02 |url-status=dead}}</ref> In May 2024, it was announced that the updated ''[[Dungeon Master's Guide]]'' would feature Greyhawk as a sample campaign setting, and that prominent characters from the Greyhawk campaign setting would feature heavily in the art of all three updated core rulebooks.<ref>{{cite magazine |last=Miller |first=Matt |date=May 2024 |title=The Future of Dungeons and Dragons |url= |access-date= |magazine=Game Informer |publisher=Game Informer Media |location=Cedar, MN |pages=10β17 |volume=34 |issue=366}}</ref>
