Campaign setting A campaign setting is usually a fictional world which serves as a setting for a role-playing game or wargame campaign. A "campaign" is a series of individual adventures, and a "campaign setting" is the world in which such adventures and campaigns take place. Usually a campaign setting is designed for a specific game (such as the "Forgotten Realms" setting for "Dungeons & Dragons") or a specific genre of game (such as Medieval fantasy, or outer space/science fiction adventure). There are numerous campaign settings available both in print and online. In addition to published campaign settings available for purchase, many game masters create their own settings, often referred to as "homebrew" settings or worlds.

XYZZY Awards The XYZZY Awards are an event to recognize extraordinary interactive fiction, serving a similar role to the Academy Awards or Grammy Awards but for a far smaller community. The XYZZY Awards have been presented yearly in the early spring since 1996 by Eileen Mullin, the editor of "XYZZYnews". Any game released during the year prior to the award ceremony is eligible for nomination to receive an award. The decision process takes place in two stages: members of the interactive fiction community nominate works within specific categories in the winter, and sufficiently supported nominations become finalists within those categories. Typically there are four or five finalists in each category. Community members then vote among the finalists, and the game receiving a plurality of votes is given the award in an online ceremony at ifMUD.

Nodwick Nodwick is a comic strip created by Aaron Williams, based around the conventions of fantasy role-playing games, in particular "Dungeons & Dragons" ("D&D"). It debuted in "Dragon" magazine issue No. 246 (April 1998), first with short strips, and later receiving a second strip in "Dungeon" magazine, making fun of one of the adventures published in each issue. In "Dragon" No. 270 (April 2000), "Nodwick" was expanded to a two-page spread and replaced "Knights of the Dinner Table" as a full-page comic that served as a parody of "D&D" adventuring. It later became a single page strip, related to the issue's theme; later, the strip was removed from "Dungeon", but still appeared in "Dragon", now unrelated to the main theme of the issue, until "Dragon" ceased print publication late in 2007.

While these rules lack the name "D&D" or any of the associated trademarks, their intent is to have a playable experience similar to those older editions.

Forgotten Realms Forgotten Realms is a campaign setting for the "Dungeons & Dragons" ("D&D") fantasy role-playing game. Commonly referred to by players and game designers alike as "The Realms", it was created by game designer Ed Greenwood around 1967 as a setting for his childhood stories. Several years later, Greenwood brought the setting to the "D&D" game as a series of magazine articles, and the first Realms game products were released in 1987. Role-playing game products have been produced for the setting ever since, as have various licensed products including sword and sorcery novels, role-playing video game adaptations (including the first massively multiplayer online role-playing game to use graphics), and comic books. The Forgotten Realms is one of the most popular "D&D" settings, largely due to the success of novels by authors such as R. A. Salvatore and numerous role-playing video games, including "Pool of Radiance" (1988), "Eye of the Beholder" (1991), "Baldur's Gate" (1998), "Icewind Dale" (2000) and "Neverwinter Nights" (2002).
