[QUOTE="lyle.spade, post: 7656334, member: 30042"] Sadly, good point on Ancient and Esoteric Knowledge Known Only to Grognards (AEKKOG). I have the old White Box with all the extra books still...never owned the Greyhawk boxed set, and have been playing DnD since before 1e was called 1e...and to be honest I can't tell you what made Greyhawk unique. I do remember ads in Dragon magazine heralding the release of the FR boxed set, with maps and clear overlays and all that, but never bought it. In fact, Eberron was the first, and only official world I 'bought into,' and thankfully I did it from the beginning so as to be able to make sense of it. Yeah, GH has castles and knights and whatnot, right? Sounds pretty generic. FR has that, and the every-annoying Elminster and Drizzt characters (sorry folks...they just never did it for me.) There are plenty of places in FR that sound cool to me - I enjoyed Icewind Dale in the computer game and a book or two - and again, I'll just steal what I like for my own games. If I were to have my drothers, WOTC would get cracking and publish Eberron for 5e...that'd make me happy. But being an old gamer - or just a gamer - I would likely still invoke my right as a geek to find something minor to complain endlessly about. There's nothing like assuming ownership of someone else's intellectual property and then slinging pointed words at them. Online. Does anyone want to talk about the new lightsaber hilt? :) [/QUOTE]
