D&D General Greyhawk setting material

There are a lot of areas that remain untouched in Greyhawk canon that could be developed fresh of course (and I'd prefer to see new material published* vs. the continuous rehashing of stuff I already own), but in terms of reprints and/or collections specifically, I'm most-interested in:

• PaizoHawk: Age of Worms and Maure Castle
• Ivid the Undying's Great Kingdom, perhaps combined with RJK's Maze of Zayene modules/materials and his version of Rauxes (from Fate of Istus)
• Some of the materials from Living Greyhawk were very good, including Erik Mona's "Absolute Power" series ("River of Blood" and "As He Lay Dying" and the sequels he never wrote, of course!)
• the drowic underworld done right!

However, Castle Greyhawk in its original and expanded incarnations of course still tops my list! =)

* including, in no particular order:

• The Rift Canyon and Bandit Kingdoms
• The Isles of Woe
• The Sea of Dust
• The Land of Black Ice
• 20,000 Leagues Below The Nyr Dyv
• The Wild Coast and Pomarj - failed states in fading glory
• historical Greyhawk adventures (perhaps a la Arcane Age for FR if I'm remembering those titles accurately): prior to the Rain of Colorless Fire, during Vecna's or Iggwilv's reigns, etc.
• Greyhawk-related planar adventures/settings are also a deeply-untapped well....

The rehashes work for me, because I don't own them: neither do most of the target audience even younger than I am (Gygax was ousted from TSR veru shortly before I was born). I get what you are saying, though: but it seems a great "in" for the setting in a new generation.

Ironically that's why people would probably want an update of 1983 boxed set maybe fleshed out a bit.

Logistics alone make updating all the meta plot.

With G series already done, I would love to see the D series, followed by Q. That all being said, T series and the A series would be awesome as prequels. What can I say, I loved them. I ran them all in 1st edition. One hell of a campaign it would be.

So, what you're saying is that you'd be happy with some T&A?

I'd love to see ToEE redone like CoS, exapanded with notes from the the old Greyhawk Crew.

I'd love to see that.

Aw, you're a youngun.

Give me another 18 months and I'll be too old to be of interest to advertising firms anymore, though.

Aww, c'mon, we need us a rewrite of Gargoyles! or Puppets! Let's get some real Greyhawk stuff in.

In addition to Kingdom of the Ghouls, Wolfgang Baur wrote Empire of the Ghouls as a 3.5 (I think?) Open Design patrons-only project in 2008 set in Greyhawk as a sequel to KotG. Very good stuff!

And Kobold Press is releasing a 5E mega-adventure follow up also called "Empire of the Ghouls" early 2020.

Maybe they know something that we don't.

Maybe, but this adventure is set in their own Midgard setting.
