In any case I'm happy for Groghawk fans and non-evil Gygaxes. Might be worth check out eventually

Without knowing any details about the products you are in no position to make any such judgement.

I judge by the number of products (few) and the fact that he always had collaborators. To me that means he is not particularly experienced and chances are he got those due to his last name moreso than his skills.

Can he help with some info on Greyhawk, sure. Would I want him to be the lead on a GH WotC product, no, I’d want someone more experienced

Does anyone actually read what Morrus wrote, or listen to what WotC said before posting?

I think we are in a highly-concentrated "headline only" zone!

Yes, I know. You said.

Fortunately, I imagine people who have actually seen his work are making that determination, not you.

Well, it doesn't help when WotC tapped into people like Satine Phoenix to be a spokeswoman...

Well, yup, that was probably a big part of thst phase ending.

I am not sure he is leading that product in the first place, did they say he would?

It seems unlikely, given that he passed away last year.

Necromancy is always a concern!
(I didn't realize he had passed away, my bad).

Personally I think this is cool and I like the direction D&D has been going since Ayoub took over.

It's from the current Player's Handbook as an example of the spell Melf's Acid Arrow.

I chuckle, because so many have insisted that the current PHB is full of pastels and non-violence
