Honestly, what's the appeal of Greyhawk once you set aside the fact that ''its the first'' or ''its Gygax-land''? Not that these are not good arguments in themselves, but as a younger player, I dont see it. Can someone take a little off-topic time to explain it?

Greyhawk is the Sword & Sorcery "Big City" with the addition of the Megadungeon. It is the ultimate D&D.

Woah .... so that's a big question. And I can start by answering that I've been playing a modified 1983-base GH since, um, 1983 or so. Off and on.

I think the major three factors are:

1. Swords and sorcery. The other major kitchen sink setting is more of a high-fantasy setting.

2. Fill in the blanks. FR has been expounded upon quite a lot; while GH has additional materials, TSR/WoTC hasn't messed with it nearly as much, which means that there is a lot of blank canvass for the DM.

3. Ur-D&D. Nostalgia is a heckuva thing.

Yeah I guess its hard to explain those things that are as much interesting for the thing they have than the things they dont have. Thank you for your time.
