Treebore said:Greyhawk has been dead since 1E. I would probably feel different if I was in the RPGA, but as far as "official" support goes, its been dead since 1E. A bone thrown out here and there just didn't, and doesn't, cut it with me.
Sorry you RPGA people have had the rug pulled out from under you.
Greetings!
I agree, Treebore. Excellent post! I guess you and I--and many others--are suffering under some kind of arrogant delusion for thinking that Greyhawk is dead, and has been for some time--many years, in fact--despite a few people that seem to hold to the belief that Greyhawk has been supported just *fine* because of a few adventure modules produced, and "support in the magazines". *rolls eyes* That just doesn't make any sense to me whatesoever. I don't know of anyone except a few people here that would think that Greyhawk has been well-supported--somehow, those few adventures and support in magazines is "good support" to them. And yet, I look around, and Greyhawk fan after Greyhawk fan--I would say that there is a strong consensus--holds to the belief that Greyhawk is dead, has been dead, and has not been well-supported in many, many years. Furthermore, as you pointed out--the magazine articles in Dungeon and Dragon, and the occasional adventure--and *gosh*--textual references in the rulebooks!--does not represent real support, but a weak, half-hearted effort at best--despite the desires of some designers--like Erik Mona--to do more.
Sadly, Greyhawk has been crushed and beaten and left on the roadside for many years now, and I think that the new 4E will throw the last shovels of dirt on it.
