[QUOTE="Helldritch, post: 7898370, member: 6855114"] Why? Simple. These settings are not in the grey zone. They are black and white. Good is good, evil is evil. You don't ask yourself: "Is this orc good?". Nope, the orc is evil. Many new players do not want the gray areas of modern setting/adventures. At least, this is what they realize when they get their hands on old material or they get introduced into the hobby by an old grognard like me. Unfortunately, I can't introduce thousands of players every year. I keep to 2 groups now. No longer do I play with 6 to 12 different groups. I have a job, and it takes up a lot of my time. With my job, my wife, my daughter and my familly, I barely have enough time for two groups. I'm a bit hard pressed to do my own adventures and settings now. For additional meat on my Greyhawk setting I have to take notes on whatever I come up with on the fly. But having that work cut out for me would be great. Each time someone brings a new player to my table to watch one of my group plays, they are surprised by the "no gray" area. Some are dismayed at a player simply slaying an orc in a merciful way, others (a vast majority, you'd be surprised) find this satisfying. No moral hassle, just play good vs evil (or in some cases, evil vs everything else...). Don't get me wrong, I do play in the gray areas at times. This style of play has its merits. But so do the black and white views in a world where demons and evil gods can affect your life. That is why I would like a reprint/reboot/update or whatever on my favorite setting. [/QUOTE]
