Potentially, but my point was Gary didn't filter Greyhawk into things that supported his S&S vision the same way a setting like Dark Sun or Dragonlance did to support a genre or theme. Gary liked what he liked and incorporated that into the soup that was A/D&D at the time. The very definition of a kitchen sink setting. He kept the Tolkien races and such. The Mythological creatures. He didn't just use S&S stuff and he didn't say "this is fine for other campaigns, but Greyhawk doesn't have X" when it came to the core rules. (His personal game is another matter).I mean, I think saying that Greyhawk as it existed until 1988 (when stuff beyond the original and rxpanded Setting started coming) was an "Appendix N" Setting is true, but also meaningless because saying that Gary Gygax' personal list of literary influences were an influence on Gary Gygax's Setting is tautological.
OK, to be fair I am pretty annoyed that Blink 182 and Weezer appear on basically Classic rock stations now.
It's hell to get old gentlemen.You and me both.
After all, T$R and They Sue Regularly were clearly terms of endearment.That was OK, because TSR did that in the 80's when everything in D&D was perfect and unsullied by corporate greed, or something.
Wait, people listen to the radio still?OK, to be fair I am pretty annoyed that Blink 182 and Weezer appear on basically Classic rock stations now.
Not usually, bit a few.months ago I wanted to give my phone a break and turned to FM instead of Spotify in my car. Discovered happily that an old station I used to listen to (Live 105.3 in the SF Bay Area) had come back after a few hears with a lot of their old DJs. Had horror slowly dawn me as I realized they brought it back as a late 90s/early Aughts nostalgia classic rock station.Wait, people listen to the radio still?
If you count Sirius I toggle between, Ozzy's Boneyard, Metal, Classic Rewind, Classic Vinyl, and 80's on 8.Wait, people listen to the radio still?
Yeah, and you aren't going to get too many unexpected intrusions of non-genre appropriate music on XM stations.If you count Sirius I toggle between, Ozzy's Boneyard, Metal, Classic Rewind, Classic Vinyl, and 80's on 8.
Some of y'all don't work in a local shop or diner and it shows.Wait, people listen to the radio still?
The adaptations only exist because of the enduring qualities of the original works.
You may like some of the adaptations more than the original works. That's fine.
The original works will still be there for everyone else.
